Chapter 10 Purposely Making It Difficult for Her

sprite

The next morning. Eloise saw the cute Solomon next to her the moment she opened her eyes. He was snuggling up to her and was sleeping deeply. His long lashes looked like feathers and his cheeks looked so squishy. Eloise was delighted. She had seen a fair share of children in the past 5 years, but she had never met a child like Solomon that made her feel so affectionate. She liked him so much she didn't want to let him go. Eloise laughed at her silly thoughts and speculated that the Rogers family would probably give her a hard time if she didn't let Solomon go. With random thoughts in her head, she tiptoed and went out to make breakfast. To her surprise, Hector was already awake when she got to the living room. There was also breakfast on the table. There was rice porridge accompanied by Cantonese and Western tidbits. It was way too luxurious. Eloise was amazed, "What are…". "I drove to the town and got something as there weren't any shops nearby. I don't know what you like and hence I got a little of everything. Hector said plainly, his voice was deep and magnetic resonating like a cello. He also sounded a bit carefree which mesmerized Eloise even more. His voice was pleasant to hear. She responded with excitement, "You are too kind. I'm not picky, I eat just about everything. But she also muttered under her breath. The great Mr. Rogers bought her breakfast! If words were to get out, countless of women would be green in envy!. As if it was no big deal, Hector said, "Really? Good to know. Go freshen up, I'll go get Solomon. Eloise nodded ambiguously and went to the bathroom. She got out after 15 minutes and Solomon was already in the living room. He was snuggling in his dad's arms, not wanting to wake up. Hector was patiently waking him up, even though he had a stern look on his face. Eloise was captivated by them. She wondered who Solomon's mother was. The mother had to be blessed, giving birth to such a cute child. She also wondered why the mother wasn't in the picture. Was it because of the Rogers family, or was there another reason behind it?. Eloise was lost in her thoughts. Solomon noticed her presence and abruptly leapt away from his father and ran towards Eloise

Eloise carried him and asked happily, "Did you sleep well?". "Yes," answered Solomon while he smiled and put his arms around her neck. Eloise ruffl ed his hair and s aid, "Let's eat. "Ok ay. Solomon answered cutely. His eyes were shining, and he was enjoying the food. In a blink of an eye, his porridge was all gone. Hector sat next t o him and had a compli cated look in his eyes. Back at home during mealtime, the whole family had to coax Solomon into eating and t heir efforts were fruitless most of the time. Now Solomon was th e most obedient child i n the whole wide world! . After breakfast, Elo ise cleaned up and was ge tting ready to go to work. Hector drove her and drop ped her somewhere nearby the o ffice since it was on his way. As Eloise was about to get o ut of the car, Solomon hugged her thighs and wasn't letting her go. Eloise was dumbfounded, "Solomon my dear , I need to go to work and cannot play with y ou today. Be a good boy and go with your dad. Tears welled up in Solomon's eyes and he stared at Eloise as if he was pleading " I don't want to be apart from Miss Eloise". Eloise almost gave in, but she was still rational, and she told herself to steel her heart. Her living allowance and her mother' s medical fees depended on this job. She looked at Hector helplessly, "Mr. Rogers…" . Hector picked Solomon up nonchalantly and said, "Miss Eloise has to go to work, you cannot bother her. But you can ask for her number and call her when she is free. We'll come by again when she gets off work in the evening. Solomon's stopped pou ting and looked at Eloise, his eyes filled with hope. He was asking wit h his puppy-eyes if he could have her number. Eloise couldn't win hi m, she chuckled, "Of course, I'll write down my number. She then sear ched for a pen and paper from her bag. Hector gave her h is phone and said, "Jus t save it on my phone. Eloise was taken aback, but she took the phone from hi m and saved her contact in it. Solomon was finally happy again. He held onto th e phone as if it was his treasure, "Goodbye Miss Eloi se. I will call you later, remember to take my call!" . "I will, I will. Eloise smiled and bid them adieu. She the n went into the office. Everyone in the planning department was staring at h er the moment she stepped in. It was as if they were look ing at some kind of exotic animal

She felt uncomfortable. "Polly, what's wrong w ith everyone?" . She asked a co lleague who she was closer to puzzledly. Polly Duncan inched closer abruptly and hugged Eloise's arm, "Eloise, you have to answer honestly . Did you already know Master Solomon from before?" . Eloise knew that this question would c ome up, she smiled plainly and said, "No wa y, I have never met Master Solomon before. "Then it's even weirder. How come h e likes you so much?" . "Right, he even gave Miss Kaur a hard time because of you. "You might not know about this yet, but the general m anager promoted you as an official employee of the plannin g department. He even made you the leader of this project. The other colleag ues came over and bega n talking relentlessly. Eloise was astonis hed, but she quickly su ppressed her excitement. She knew that the company would make her an official employee due to the incident, but she d idn't think that she would be the project leader. Polly then whispered to her ears giving her a warning, "Eloise, you ha ve to be more careful from today onwards. Faye was really pissed about this , she even had a big argument with the general manager yesterday about it. Eloise was about to nod and then she saw Faye walking in from outside. Everybody imm ediately ran back to their positions. Faye's expression was tremendously horrid. She gritted her teeth and slamme d a bunch of documents at Eloise's table. They were all proposals for Solomon's bi rthday banquet. There was also some important information that was looked into previously. Faye was the person in-charged until recently, now she had to pass everything to Eloise. She was very unwilling, "Eloise, you know your limit, don't take on something you can't handle. You'll fall hard if you climb too high without knowing how to fly. Eloise wasn't going to lose, she chuckled, "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Kaur. But I think I'm capable enough, don't worry about me. Faye's face contorted in rage, "Hmph, fi ne. I'll be watching you. Don't make the comp any a laughingstock because of your failures. She then w alked out witho ut looking back. Eloise had a bad premonition. Faye…sinc e when she gav e up so easily? . Based on her personality, she would fight until the very end to g et the project back into her hands. Eloise sweated nervously, she then subconsciously opened the f ile on her table. The first thing she saw was that important informa tion was all tampered. The proposals were also shredded into pieces
