Chapter 1021
Fred picked up the suit from the chair and said, "Let's call it a day. It's getting late. | should go back to report with
them."
Before Amelia said anything. Jonathan immediately said, "Mr. Gordon, let's us give you a ride."
Fred said with a smile, "I think that's not necessary?"
"Mr. Gordon, no worries. This is what we should do." Amelia smiled and said.
Hence, Fred said politely, "Well, if you insist. Thank you, President Ramsay and Director Tucker."
At half past one in the afternoon.
When Amelia returned to Apex Construction Corporation, Jonathan who was driving, asked with a smile,
"President Ramsay, are you in a good mood today?"
Amelia could not help but smile. She looked at Jonathan and said, "Uncle Tucker, you already knew it. Why are
you still asking?"
Jonathan said seriously, "Who told you that | know everything? There's one thing | wanted to ask you when we're
having the meal. How did you
convince Fred to skip the review procedure for Apex?"
Amelia then told him about the whole incident. After hearing Amelia's words, Jonathan burst out laughing and
made a joke. "Oh, you! Now | know you youngster nowadays are really great at playing all kind of tricks."
"But you're the one that taughtwell!" Amelia said with a smile.
Jonathan looked at her and said with a sigh, "If your father can see how you've grown to be now, he will be very
pleased."
Amelia turned her eyes and looked out of the window with melancholy. Yes, that would be great if dad could
witness the current moment of Apex Construction Corporation...
Realizing that the topic was a little heavy, Jonathan continued, "By the way, you know what? Kaleb and the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtothers were still on the move stago. They wanted to expose the Environmental Protection Bureau's
involvement in the C river pollution during the meeting.
He probably wanted to blyou for not managing well and take the opportunity to embarrass you, shaking the
confidence and authority that you have just built up in the minds of employees.
But after Kingston's apologizing video was uploaded, they becdiscontented again. And now you have really
got the contract of the project of Eastern District.
As long as this news leaks, | think they will have nothing to say during the meeting tomorrow!"
When Amelia heard this, she could not help but be curious. "Uncle Tucker, how do you know what Kaleb and his
men are up to?"
Jonathan said slowly, "Before you took over the Apex Construction Corporation, the company had divided into
several forces. Each force is supervising and probing at each other. Do you still remember Ryker, who was fired
by you?"
Amelia nodded and said, "I remember that Ryker was Daniel's special assistant. After Daniel was imprisoned,
Ryker began to follow me. But you said that he actually worked for Kaleb."
Jonathan nodded. "That's right. Ryker is Kaleb's spy! But Kaleb is not the only one who knows how to play this
trick. | also placed a spy by his side.
What's more, Kaleb is so high-profile that almost all his thoughts are written on his face. You know, it's not
difficult to know what he's thinking about."
No wonder.
Amelia seemed to have thought of something, and she joked, "Is assistant Atkinson the spy that Uncle
Tucker arranged foras well?"
Upon hearing this, Jonathan looked calm and said with full confidence, "Her? Just barely."
Amelia asked with interest, "What do you mean by 'barely'?" Was Jonathan not supposed to deny it in a hurry to
show his loyalty?
Jonathan said, "When | arranged Audrey to work for you, | told her clearly that if anything happened to you, she
must informimmediately.
But if | need to arrange any spy, | will never find someone like Audrey, who is always careless and clumsy. | am
afraid that she would have discovered before she can steal any secrets."
Amelia could not help but agree with him. "She really doesn't have the talent to be a spy."
After returning to their own working positions, Amelia did not listen to Fred's words to immediately contacted
Kaiden.
Somehow, she had the feeling that Kaiden would present himself someday again.
Besides, Kaiden was arrogant and capricious. If she called him at this point and invited him
to temporarily join Apex, he would do something to her in return.
The best timing for her to negotiate was to wait until he had lost all his patience!
Kaiden was so eager for the Eastern District project that she was not afraid that he would not turn back to look
for her.
At six o'clock in the afternoon.
Amelia had already read through the contract for the Eastern District project, but she was still worried
about it. She decided to ask
Jonathan to have a look on the
contract when she cto work the
next day.
s
Remembering that Patrick would cover to pick her up later to go to the hospital to visit George, Amelia
unzipped her bag and put in the contract carefully.
The reason why she did this was that she wanted to bring the contract to George. Perhaps, it would give him
sconfidence in his recovery!
Then, the cell phone on the desk suddenly rang at this time.
Looking down, Amelia smiled truly at the 'Caller ID". But later she stopped smiling.
The moment she saw Patrick's name, she wanted to share the joy of receiving the contract with him!
"Don't forget where your investment cfrom! If Patrick heard the nof Sawyer Quartley, what would he do
to you and Apex Construction Corporation?" Amelia warned herself.
The reminder in her head made Amelia's breath quicken, and the emotions that had been in high spirits
disappeared.
By her ear the sound of Patrick's call was still echoing. No matter how reluctant Amelia was, she had to pick it
up. After all, he deliberately took a long way to the company to pick her up for her father's sake. s
After clicking the answer button, Amelia put the phone close to her ear and said, "Hello."
Patrick asked, "I'm at downstairs of your company. Have you finished work yet?"
"Yes... I... I'm off work."
Amelia's unnatural pause made Patrick curious. "You sound weird. Are you not feeling well?"
"No! I'm fine..." Amelia's twinkling eyes fell on the leather bag she had picked up. After a while, she said, "Wait
for a moment. I'll go downstairs right away."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hearing that Amelia was fine, Patrick's voice finally becless tense.
After the call, Amelia put the phone back into her pocket.
After that, she stood still with a complicated expression and thought for a while. In the end, she took out the
contract in her leather bag She did not want to be asked too much by Patrick. s
As for George, she would whisper it into his ears.
Outside the lobby of Apex Construction Corporation. After Amelia opened the door of the passenger seat, she
said to the man sitting inside, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
