Love Comes To Me
Chapter 130: Gossip

After eating, Eloise Thompson received a phone call from Hector Rogers.

The phone on the table kept ringing, but Eloise Thompson never had the courage to answer it. After half an hour, the phone finally went silent and Eloise Thompson sighed.

She never knew how to face Hector Rogers, and the thought of Matriarch Godbold's words and what happened a few years ago made Eloise Thompson's heart...

That night, Eloise Thompson lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.

...

The following day, Eloise Thompson got herself together and went to work as normal.

The project with the Chumley Group, which Egbert Chumley abandoned in favour of a partnership with Rogers Group, was basically finalised.

At the morning meeting, Layla Davidson complimented Eloise Thompson in public and said that there would be a generous bonus this month, and colleagues complimented Eloise Thompson as well. Knowing that the Chumley Group project was no small feat, I didn't expect Eloise Thompson to take it on with ease.

In just a few months, Eloise Thompson has taken on a number of notable projects.

The crowd was also convinced of her abilities.

Eloise Thompson also felt happy in her heart, and after the meeting broke up, she was called into the office by Layla Davidson to say that she had a new project for her.

Inside the office, Layla Davidson handed her an information sheet and then spoke, "The project to be taken up this time is an Italian clothing brand, you should read their company's information first."

As Eloise Thompson looks over the paperwork, Layla Davidson continues, "The project has a good reputation in its home country of Italy, but last year it entered the domestic market with a lack of advertising and brand sales, and they are planning to spend a lot of money this year to replace a company that can promote their brand."

"Like that USHOW project, a lot of companies are competing, including big planning companies like Encore Group and Huayi Group, so this project will be a bit of a challenge and we must get it right."

Although JS Creative Company has only just been established, it has a good reputation so far - after all, it is a company that has worked with Rogers Group - but the competition is strong, so they can't be taken lightly. Eloise Thompson nodded and said, "Manager Layla, I'll do my best."

"Well, there's a big party tonight and Paige Coldwell, the head of this brand in Asia, is going to be there, so come with me later and see if you can get a chance to talk to Paige Coldwell and make a good impression on him." "Okay, I got it, Manager Layla."

Layla Davidson nodded, "Well, go out to work first! We'll go back together this afternoon."

Eloise Thompson nods and leaves the office.

The busy time passed quickly and at the end of the evening, Layla Davidson came over and dragged Eloise Thompson to get styled first.

Inside the dressing room, Eloise Thompson had changed into a pale blue gown. Her face was covered in light make-up, caused by the simplicity of her face, but her whole body revealed an elegance that was stunning to look at. Layla Davidson brightened up at the sight and instantly spoke up and complimented, "Eloise, you're so beautiful."

I have to say that Eloise Thompson is truly a rare beauty, comfortable to look at when she is not dressed up and simply breathtakingly beautiful when she is.

It is no wonder that their president, who has never been close to women, has taken a liking to her.

In fact Layla Davidson found this Eloise Thompson very bland at first and wondered what exactly their president liked about her.

But after spending time with her, I have noticed that this girl is special in every way, not like other girls in general.

Eloise Thompson smiled a little embarrassed, "Manager Layla, you look good too!"

"You're the only one who can talk, well, let's go!"

"Hmm." Eloise Thompson nodded and followed Layla Davidson out.

...

The banquet was held in a five-star hotel and the venue was magnificently decorated, with people coming and going, mingling and mingling, most of whom were high society celebrities. Having been to several of these large parties before, Eloise Thompson didn't feel uncomfortable as she followed Layla Davidson into the hall.

Probably because she was early, Layla Davidson dragged Eloise Thompson to the lounge area to sit and wait before Paige Coldwell arrived.

Later in the evening, still no sign of Paige Coldwell, the guests were growing and Layla Davidson caught a glimpse of a familiar friend out of the corner of her eye and spoke up, "Eloise, why don't you sit here while I go over and say hello." "Well, there you go, Manager Layla," Eloise Thompson nodded.

After Layla Davidson left, Eloise Thompson sat alone in her seat and stared, not knowing what to think.

I don't know how long it took, but just then there was a startling roar from the doorway, and Eloise Thompson looked through the crowd to see a familiar figure.

It was Hector Rogers, who was accompanied by Reeva Lawson.

Reeva Lawson, dressed to the nines in a pale blue dress with light make-up on her face, looked exquisite, like a princess with an air of elegance and grace all over her body, as she gently held the arm of Hector Rogers.

The two men walked unhurriedly into the banquet hall.

Hector Rogers was dressed in a black suit, a domineering aura of a stranger hanging over his entire body, his face as cold as ever.

The two stand together as if they were made for each other.

Their appearance was instantly the focus of the room, and everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to them.

Hector Rogers didn't see Eloise Thompson, tonight Hector Rogers came instead because Rupert Rogers couldn't make it again, he doesn't like this kind of occasion but the organisers are long time clients of Rogers Group and have a good friendship, so he had to come.

Reeva Lawson knew that Hector Rogers was coming, so she showed up with her father instead.

The corner of Reeva Lawson's mouth ticked up as she looked at the envious eyes of the people on the field, and she glanced at the man by her side with a hint of affection in her expression.

Organiser Tedmund Alford rushed out to greet Hector Rogers as soon as he heard he had arrived.

Eloise Thompson was lost in thought when she noticed that they seemed to be coming in her direction and she hastily ducked into a corner.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, Tedmund Alford said, "Hector, Reeva, you two are a perfect couple! By the way, I've heard that you two are getting married, when is the date?" Tedmund Alford is the same age as Hector Rogers' parents and is considered Hector Rogers' elder, so speaks with more recklessness.

At that, Reeva Lawson smiled and kept quiet, looking a little shy.

Hector Rogers frowned slightly and pursed his lips as he explained, "Uncle Tedmund, you misunderstood, it's just gossip out there."
