Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 20 Caught Red-handed
Eloise seemed ill at ease because he kept looking at her and his vague tone made her face blushed. She said embarrassingly, "No. I am here to look for Solomon." "Ah? Solomon? Why do you look for him?"
Rupert's smile disappeared, he was so disappointed.
Eloise did not expect him to have such a reaction and asked, "Why? Can't I look for Solomon?"
Rupert waved his hand and said, "It's not that you can't look for him. But, Solomon was taken home by my parents this morning. So, you can't meet him now." After a pause, he smiled like a big wolf suddenly and said, "If you would like to look for my brother, he is very free!"
If his brother was not free, he would definitely pretend that he was free!
Rupert added another sentence in his heart.
Eloise could not restrain from hesitating because she thought that Rupert was lying.
A person like Hector Rogers must be very busy every day and even did not have time to eat.
How could he be very free?
It seemed not appropriate for her to disturb him because of this matter.
But she thought that she had promised Solomon to give him a memorable birthday party. However, she had been fired currently and she needed to inform him. Since Solomon was not there, she could only inform his father.
When she thought of this, she said, "If it did not matter, I would like to look for Mr Rogers."
"Not a problem, how could it be a problem! If it were you, my brother would definitely not say anything..."
Perhaps he might feel delighted to be disturbed!
When Hector was happy, Rupert could take the opportunity to get the top Maybach model that he had been thinking about for a long time.
It would be cool for sure!
The more he thought, the more Rupert got excited. So, he became more polite and said, "Come, follow me. I bring you to look for my brother." Eloise nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Guided by Rupert, both of them entered the company and rode on Hector's personal lift. They went straight to the upper floor.
Currently, in the chairman's office which was located at the top floor.
Hector was burying himself in work and very busy.
Suddenly, there was a knocking at the door. He did not even raise his head and said, "Come in please."
Rupert pushed the door from outside then entered, followed by Eloise who was looking at the surrounding curiously.
Hector's office was very modern and the furnishings were simple in a spacious space. But, it was indeed luxurious. The wall located in the southeast direction was hollowed out, designed into a piece of French window, making the room filled with light.
Whoever was standing there, his view was broad enough to overlook the whole city.
Eloise sighed in her inner side because the chairman's office of Rogers Group was so grand!
When she was thinking, she looked at the man behind the office table.
She was amazed at the moment when she looked at him.
Hector wore only a white shirt with a loose tie. Two collar buttons were unbuttoned, the beautiful collarbone was faintly visible and the suit jacket was laid on the back of the chair. His sleeves were rolled to the arm and a pair of gold-framed glasses was placed on the tall bridge of the nose. He was focusing on the documents in his hand. Other than indifference and rigorousness, there was a sense of gentleness.
Eloise stared in awe and she thought of the sentence, "Serious man is the most handsome man."
An absolute gem like Hector, coupled with a noble temperament was simply making people envied and admired.
When Eloise was immersed in the beauty of Hector, Rupert ran towards Hector and said proudly, "Brother, look at the person I brought to you."
Hector thought the person who came in was his assistance so he did not care much about him. But, when he heard his younger brother's voice, he moved his eyesight from the documents to Rupert.
He looked indifferently but he was stunned when he discovered Eloise.
When they looked at each other, Eloise's face was blushed again. She felt embarrassed because she was caught red-handed while she spied on him!
Her face was slightly blushed and she immediately sent her greetings, "Mr. Rogers."
Hector's eyes looked deep and when he recovered from it, he put down the document that was in his hands then said, "Why are you here?"
Eloise walked towards him and said embarrassingly, "Sorry for the disturbance. I have something to give Solomon but I heard from Rupert that Solomon is not there. So, I think that it is the same to give you." "Have a seat first."
Hector did not have any unpleasantness due to the disturbance. On the contrary, there was a kind of joy on his face that could not be noticed easily.
He stood up and walked towards the sofa with Eloise.
His every movement was an elegant demeanor.
Master Rupert looked at her while standing behind and thought that the young lady was really extraordinary. It was because she could let his brother who always prioritized the career to put down his job from the beginning. It was easy to notice that he put down the documents rapidly!
He decided on the spot that he must have a good relationship with his future sister-in-law. If Hector wanted to beat him in the future, he could replace a person to help.
When he thought so, Rupert became more polite and took the initiative to get a coffee for Eloise.
Eloise was overwhelmed by favor from Hector and thanked him again and again, "Thank you, Master Rupert."
Rupert felt so good and waved his hand then said, "Since we are family, why are you so polite?"
Eloise was confused.
Family?
Before she could react, Hector had already interrupted her thoughts by saying, "Miss Thompson, what gift you want to give Solomon?"
"Ah? Oh... "Eloise recovered from the surprise and quickly took out a well-wrapped velvet box from her bag. She handed it over and said, "This is the gift."
After Hector took over, he opened it and discovered that there was an exquisite necklace inside the box. The necklace was just nice for a child to wear on.
Rupert saw that and recognized the constellation pendant immediately. He said, "It is Solomon's constellation!"
Eloise felt slightly embarrassed and said smiley, "Yes. I can't afford to buy any expensive gift so I chose this necklace for his birthday present."
Hector frowned and closed the box then said, "It is not Solomon's birthday yet."
"I know, but..."
Eloise was panicked and her fingers bent uncontrollably. She grabbed her skirt tightly and it seemed hard to say.
Hector discovered her facial expressions and said, "Miss Thompson, just say whatever you want to say."
Eloise took a deep breath and stood up suddenly. She bowed to Hector.
Rupert was startled and jumped from the sofa then said, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly do this?"
Hector also frowned and asked, "Miss Thompson, are you...?"
Eloise did not raise her head to look at his expression. She stooped down while saying what she wanted to say, "I am sorry, Mr. Rogers. I am here today mainly because I want to apologize to Solomon. It is because of Solomon's birthday planning... I promised Solomon before that I will give him a memorable birthday but I can't make it now. So, please help me to apologize to Solomon. I am truly sorry about that."
