Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 728

Jonathan gave her a sidelong glance and told her from the bottom of his heart, "Hit you? I wouldn't dare! Your protectors will knock me out before I even have a chance to raise my fist!"

"Uncle Tucker, what protectors are you talking about! There are more who wants my downfall!" Amelia mocked herself then continued to ask with a smile, "How about you scolding me to feel better?"

"Okay, that's enough. Stop pretending to be pitiful!" Jonathan chided Amelia out of amusement. Then, he asked, "Where were we?"

Seeing that Jonathan had no intention to continue with her banter, Amelia immediately regained her composure and replied, "We were just talking about Kaleb wanting to find me another assistant only for me to reject him."

"Well, it's great that you know how to refuse him! Because if you'd let him arranged for you, you're definitely only getting another pair of ears on you."

Amelia nodded in return. "I think so too!"

Jonathan then added, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to find someone generally capable with a clean background to be your assistant. I won't allow Kaleb

to succeed with his schemes!"

Amelia pouted and complained in some dissatisfaction, "Uncle Tucker, how can you say that? Of course you have to find someone talented to be my assistant!"

Jonathan only shook his head with a smile. "If an average assistant goes rouge, we can still react in time to their disloyalty. But if it's someone brilliant and smart, you'll be in deep trouble. I'm doing this for your own good. Just listen to me."

Amelia was stunned. Then, she exclaimed with a melodramatic tone as if she was hurt, "Ah, I see. You are worried I won't be able to handle a talented assistant! You're looking down on me!"

Putting up an act of a shocked expression, Jonathan gaped at her, "Is it that obvious?"

Upon hearing him, Amelia could not help but pucker her lips like that of a goldfish and whined unhappily, "Uncle Tucker!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore! I'm doing this purely for your sake. I'm just afraid that you'll be at the bad end of it."

"Okay, Uncle Tucker! I'll take your advice!"

Jonathan nodded with satisfaction and added, "We've already ended the big show of lie in front of everyone. Should we find a time to visit Mr. Quartley

next?"

Amelia's smile froze slightly. "But I'm worried that... Mr. Quartley will refuse to see us."

Jonathan scowled. "Why do you think so, President Ramsay?"

Amelia analyzed for him, saying, "Firstly, I don't know Mr. Quartley in person. Secondly, I've rashly said that he has promised to invest in our company when I don't even know him. It was a lie! And because of this breach of honesty on my part, I don't know if Mr. Quartley will regard me as a liar. Thirdly, even if he forgives me for it, I'm not fully confident that I can secure his investment..."

Drawling on earnestly, Jonathan said, "Whether it's a success or not, it depends on you, President Ramsay. Don't always underestimate your ability and luck. As a matter of fact, before taking part in the tender meeting, you said that Apex Construction Corporation had no chance to take over the project in the eastern district.

But look at what happened, aren't you almost succeeding?

Then, take a look at every single employee in the company. They're so immersed in their work today as if they're on steroids!

Some of those who handed their letters of resignation to the human resources department are now regretting it so much that they're asking for the letters back.

President Ramsay, you may think that you've made a shameful lie at the meeting. And now, you're deep in guilt, timid, and clueless about your next steps.

However, at the same time, you've also brought hope to millions of the company's employees. Everyone is sincerely thankful to you, and they'll continue to help the company with actions! You're not alone in this fight!"

"You're not alone..." the phrase echoed in Amelia's head.

An urge to cry rose in Amelia's chest all of a sudden. "Uncle Tucker, I..."

Jonathan patted the back of Amelia's hand and said, "Promise me. No matter what the result is, let's give it a try first, shall we?"

Amelia was washed over by high ambition at this moment. She expressed, "Well, I promise you! I'll do my best to get the investment!"

After Jonathan left the office, Amelia picked up her phone from the desk right away, intending to give Kaiden a call.

But in the next second, she noticed she had a missed call, and Patrick's name was on the screen.

Why did he call her for?

Amelia then dialled him back.

"Beep... Beep... I'm sorry. The number you've call is currently busy. Please try again later..."

Busy? It was clear that Patrick had declined her call on purpose!

Or was he in a private call with Sissi again?

Bearing this possibility in mind, Amelia's clench around her phone tightened without her notice.

However, before she could think more about it, the screen, which just dimmed, lit up again and rang.

Amelia came back to her senses and saw that Patrick was calling her.

After accepting the call, she then blasted bluntly, "Hello! Why did you call me just now? Go straight to the point! I'm very busy!"

After a moment of silence, he responded by asking with concern, "Why are you so hot-tempered? Who angered you?"

Amelia stopped herself from saying 'You!' and instead asked coldly, "Tell me, why did you call me?"

"I miss you."

His words took Amelia by coomplete surprise. After calming herself down, she replied sullenly, "If you miss me, then why did you hang up on me just

now?"

"I was talking with my clients, so it wasn't convenient to pick up your call. But I'm now in the corridor, so I can say whatever I want. Mrs. Hopper, I miss you."

Amelia responded in an icy tone, "If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up!"

"There's still something else."

"What is it?" Amelia swore that if he said another nonsense, she would hang up right away! Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Let's have lunch together?" he asked.

"No." Amelia was not letting him have his way.

"Why not?"

"I'm busy!" answered Amelia in a hurry.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to find time to eat. Listen, thirty minutes before noon, I'll pick you up downstairs at your company. It's settled then. I'll hang up first."

Doo... Doo... Doo...

"D*mn it! He's one step ahead of me again!" cursed Amelia deep down.

Amelia was so frustrated that she stomped her feet in anger.

But wait!

Did Patrick think she would accept whatever offer he made?

Humph!

If he wanted to wait downstairs, so let him wait! She brought the lunchbox Dr. Scarlett made anyway!

Just as Amelia was determined to stand Patrick up, her phone rang again.

Looking down and noticing it was from Kaiden, Amelia was elated!

He called her at the right time as she was just looking for him too!

"Hello, Mr. Wright."

The young man from the opposite end of the call went silent for a moment before bursting into hysterical laughter. "Hahaha! Did I hear you wrong? Is this still Amelia? Since when did you become so polite?"

Amelia's face darkened from his insult. "Don't doubt it. I've always been this polite."

The laughter from the other side became even more maniacal and uncontrollable.
