Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 729

"Mr. Wright, you've actually called me at the right time. I was just about to call you to discuss with you about something," said Amelia with a kind tone as she dubbed Kaiden as a submissive in silence.

Kaiden finally ceased laughing and asked, "I guess you want to ask me when I'll take you to see my cousin. Am I right?"

Amelia then pursed her lips and smiled faintly. "Ah, the soft and gentle Mr. Wright has hit the mark with a single guess."

"Of course!" Kaiden was gleeful for a couple of seconds before he reacted to her remark and shouted, "Amelia, you did it on purpose, didn't you? Why did you use such girly adjectives to describe me, someone who's so high and mighty?"

"High and mighty?" questioned Amelia deep down.

With his supple, tender skin and his fair, pretty face, it was hard to tell whether he was a male or female if his chest was overlooked.

Amelia suppressed her criticisms towards him, then asked in an amiable tone, "The high and mighty Mr. Wright, it's true that I can't wait to meet Mr. Quartley.

I wonder when you're free to introduce me to him?"

"Well... Treat me lunch this noon. We can talk then," replied Kaiden with a straight face.

Amelia frowned and responded hesitantly, "Ah... This noon?"

"Why? Is it not convenient for you?" Kaiden's voice turned frosty immediately.

Staying silent, Amelia then suddenly recalled what Patrick had said to her over the phone.

"So it isn't convenient for you?" Kaiden urged her by following up with another question.

Amelia then asked, "Can we change it to tomorrow noon instead?"

"No," rejected Kaiden in an indifferent manner.

Amelia's eyebrows furrowed together. "Why not?"

"Because to reject and reschedule the offer I made shows your disregard for me and my cousin." Kaiden then sneered, "Speaking of which, I have to point out that your attitude is seriously below the bar. You're the one who asked me to help you, but now it's sounding like I'm the one who's begging to meet you. Ms. Amelia Ramsay, if you don't take me and my cousin seriously, then just say it. And from then on, I'll never disturb you again!"

Amelia's face flushed red at the sound of his words, and he was even making her feel like she was being unscrupulous!

"Forget it. The business is the priority now. As for Patrick, I can just make a phone call and tell him I can't make it!" thought Amelia.

With that thought circulated in her mind, Amelia said softly to Kaiden, "Mr. Wright, I didn't mean to give you the cold shoulder. For me to prove my sincerity, I'll choose the place to eat. Do you mind?"

Kaiden snorted. "That's more like it."

"Can you tell me where you are at this moment? I'll pick you up after work at noon."

Amelia spoke as she took a piece of paper and a pen from her side, prepared for times when she had to take down notes.

"Let a woman pick me up? This is too much of a joke! I'm not a toy boy!" Kaiden exclaimed discontentedly.

"Then how about you come over to Apex Construction Corporation, and we'll meet downstairs?"

She thought it would be settled then, but Kaiden exploded, pissed, "Where's your sincerity? How are you making me, who you're buying lunch for, drive there and incur gas costs along the way!"

Amelia nearly flung the pen across the room. "Mr. Wright, I suggested picking you up, but you didn't want it! Then when I asked you to come here and meet me, you called me insincere! Just what do you want me to do?"

Then, Kaiden commented in an icy tone, "If you're so easily riled up, what will you do when you face my eccentric cousin? His various demands will definitely torture you to death."

Amelia gasped. "Is Mr. Quartley's disposition as peculiar as you said? I think you're just scaring me!"

Kaiden then replied nonchalantly, "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But if you don't, you'll only suffer."

"I..." Amelia swallowed the rest of her sentence, then asked half-compromisingly, "Then what do you want me to do so that you'll be satisfied?"

Kaiden pondered for a moment. "How about this? Pick me up at my apartment. It's at XXX. "

Rendered speechless, Amelia then spat, "What happened to what you insisted on before this?"

Kaiden explained to her leisurely and slowly, "I was just testing your bottom line. And if you can't handle me, don't bother meeting my cousin. You won't be able to stand him."

Amelia had nothing to reply. He made it sound as if he was really doing that for her own good.

No matter how furious Amelia was, Kaiden confirmed without giving her a say, "That's settled

then. I'll wait for you here."

As soon as the call was over, Amelia immediately slammed her phone onto the table and cursed at him to vent her annoyance!

D*mn it! Kaiden, that son of a b*tch!

At noon, after work.

Amelia picked up her phone and called Patrick.

In no time, the call was answered. Patrick then gently asked her if she was ready.

Though Amelia was slightly moved, she replied, "I have an appointment with my client for lunch today, so I can't be with you."

"You have an appointment? Why didn't you mention it just now?"

"Is she still mad at me, and that's why she's dodging me with her client?" Patrick thought.

Amelia then said perfunctorily, "My client didn't contact me until after you called me."

Patrick asked in a deep and charming voice, "Who's the client?"

Then, Amelia only responded airily, "It's just a customer of my company. Don't intervene, okay?"

To which Patrick let out a sneer, "So we're splitting into 'your business' and 'my business' now?"

Amelia did not answer and instead said, "It's almost time. I have to fetch my client. Bye."Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Amelia..."

Before Patrick could finish saying what he had on his mind, Amelia hung up upon him.

Then, she got up with her car key, took the elevator downstairs, headed for the garage for her car, and went to the address Kaiden stated.

In the afternoon, at half-past one.

After arriving downstairs of Kaiden's apartment after lunch, Amelia finally asked the question she longed to ask throughout their meal, "Mr. Wright, have you forgotten something?"

Upon hearing Amelia, Kaiden, who was unbuckling his seat belt, glanced at her and said, "The Thai dishes were delicious. Thank you for your hospitality."

And with that, his seat belt unclasped, and he reached out for the car door handle.

Amelia's attractive face darkened at once. Then she locked the door without hesitation.

"Hmm?" When Kaiden could not open the door, he looked back at Amelia puzzledly and asked, "Is your door broken?"

Amelia then crossed her arms and said with a faint smile, "Sorry, I locked it."

"Locked?" Kaiden murmured, and then a thoughtful expression showed on his face. "You can't bare it to part with me?"

Amelia was speechless. It was definitely not because of that! It was because there was still business to talk about!

Watching Amelia half-closed bright eyes as she continued to keep silent, Kaiden stretched a hand to the back of her seat, leaned forward to close the gap with her until he was only a dozen

centimeters away from her. He then asked with a lowered voice ambiguously, "Or... You have something else in mind with me in the car?"

Amelia's stomach lurched at the sound of that. Then, she tried to conceal her true feelings as she said, "Mr. Wright, you haven't told me when you'll be taking me to Mr. Quartley."

"Oh, it's about this!" The smile on Kaiden's face vanished, then he uttered in boredom, "But I'm not satisfied with your performance yet, which is making me reluctant to help you. So, tell me, what do you think we should do about that?"
