Chapter 42 Break Up
Chapter 42 Break Up
Solomon felt extremely uncomfortable and his immature voice choked with emotion.
Hector was silent and expressionless.
“Miss Eloise called me at noon today and said that she would sleep with me at night. Did you annoy her
away? Go and admit your mistake to her and bring her back.”
Solomon pulled Hector’s leg with both his hands vigorously.
Hector said in a slightly displeased voice, “Be obedient! You are not allowed to call Eloise in the future.”
Miss Eloise was gone and his Dad was scaring him. Solomon couldn’t bear it and ran back to his room
angrily.
Hector rubbed his eyebrows. He returned to his room and lit a cigarette. His mind was full of Eloise’s
words.
His eyes were deep and clouded.
What on earth had happened in that time?
He didn’t want to investigate because Eloise avoided talking about that time strictly. Originally, Hector
handled it skillfully but now he didn’t know what to do…
Surrounded by the cigarette smoke, he looked somewhat lonely.
…
After Eloise returned to the residence, she calmed down a bit and suddenly she felt that the things she
had said to Hector were a bit too heartless.
Hector had helped her so much but she treated him like that.
And Solomon…
Not being able to see her, it must have been hard for him too.
Eloise could almost imagine Solomon crying and looking for her.
But since she had already said it and couldn’t take it back, she decided to just top thinking about it.
Unable to fall asleep for a long time, Eloise sighed lying on the bed.
When she got up the next day for work, she had dark circles under her eyes.
When she came to the company, the head of the planning department handed over the project that was
withdrawn from Excellent Company.
“Eloise, although you have only been here for a short period of time, everyone in the company knows
how capable you are. I believe you can handle this project very well.”
Eloise did not refuse. She felt sad when thinking about Solomon.
Although it hadn’t been a long amount of time since she got to know him, she had already
unconsciously begun to regard him as her own son, but now…
She exclaimed, “Director, don’t worry! I will definitely do this well!”
She hadn’t done anything for Solomon before, and she regarded this project as the last thing she did
for him.
After getting all the files and data, Eloise began to work on it seriously.
Contrary to Eloise’s calmness, Rogers group’s employees were trembling with fear since the morning.
The cause of their fear happened in the morning.
After Hector came to work in the morning, Thomas made a cup of coffee and delivered it to him as
usual.
Hector took a sip and his face expressed dissatisfaction.
Thomas had to make another one for him…
But who knew, even after making ten cups of coffee, he couldn’t satisfy Hector.
Then, the employees who had sent any documents to the office were all criticized for their mistakes. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
In the meetings, all department heads were scolded.
This thing was not done well, that thing was done badly… Hector ordered them to redone the design
draft and plan. All the employees felt gloomy.
Even though Hector had always been strict about work, today he was worse. As if he had eaten a
bucket full of explosives, he was bombarding his employees because of a few problems.
Huddled together in the tea room, the employees were whispering.
“What is the matter with President Rogers? I have never seen him so angry!”
“Did he break up?”
“How is that possible, he is clearly single bachelor.”
“Oh God! So scary! I have to deliver some documents to him later, do you think I will be able to come
back alive?”
Everyone was gossiping, when suddenly Rupert’s frivolous voice came, “What are you all talking
about? What is wrong with Hector?”
Everyone was taken aback. Rupert usually went along well with everyone, so they all told him what
happened in the morning.
Rupert frowned, “That much, huh? Hector is usually so gentle.”
Everyone collectively thought, ‘…Gentle? When did you see him being gentle?’
“Mr. Rupert, if you don’t believe us, you can go see for yourself!”
Saying that, the employee who had to deliver the documents handed them over to Rupert.
“Okay, I will take these for you.”
Rupert took the documents from him indifferently and slowly walked towards the office.
As he opened the door, the office was quiet and Hector was looking at some documents.
For some reason, Rupert felt that the atmosphere in the office was more depressed than usual. Before
he could speak, Hector’s deep voice sounded.
“Don’t you know you should knock before entering?”
Rupert trembled inwardly. After a moment, he smiled and said, “Hector, it’s me.”
“So? Everyone has to knock before entering!”
Rupert was speechless.
Rupert realized that what the employees were saying was true. Hector had really eaten gunpowder for
breakfast.
“Hector, you…” ‘What is wrong with him?’
“What is it?”
Before Rupert could finish his sentence, he was interrupted and he had to give Hector the documents
in his hands.
Hector looked through the documents and then said, “This is HR’s proposal. Why are you here
delivering it? You can run errands for others, so recently you must have no much work to do! City
E’s…”
“Hector, I have some work left to do. I will stop disturbing you now and go!”
Everyone watched as Rupert walked out of the office with a defeated look on his face, no, he escaped
out of the office to be precise.
All day long, the entire Rogers group was scared, for fear that Hector, who had seemingly eaten
gunpowder, might blow up the entire company.
By the evening, Rupert felt quite gloomy about his brother’s behavior.
After giving it some thought, he couldn’t help but walk into Hector’s office again.
As soon as he entered the office, he smelled a lot of smoke.
Hector was sitting on the sofa with a newly lit cigarette in his hand and the ashtray full of burnt cigarette
butts.
His eyes looked deep and unfathomable.
Rupert frowned. He knew that his brother didn’t smoke a lot. He only smoked when he was in a bad
mood. Looking at the amount of cigarette butts in the ashtray, he guessed that hector was probably in a
very bad mood.
“Hector, what is going on? What happened?”
Hector ignored him, not even looking at him.
Rupert couldn’t figure it out. After thinking about it, Solomon was also fine and well at home, then it
must have been…
“Did you quarrel with Eloise?” Rupert asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Hector’s eyes flickered slightly, and finally reacted. He glanced at Rupert with a gloomy
expression in his eyes.
Although he still didn’t speak, Rupert knew that he had guessed it right. Hector’s current behavior was
because of Eloise.
As Hector’s brother, Rupert couldn’t just sit and watch.
“What is going on? Tell me! Maybe I can help you solve it.”
Hector was silent for a very long time before speaking slowly, “She intends to break up with me and
doesn’t want to be with me from now on.”
