Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

At a closer look at Milton's face, the woman froze, ignoring the pain, and asked hesitantly, "Have we

met somewhere before?"

Milton smiled slightly. Obviously, he had reached an agreement with the woman. "Let's talk after entering the

private room, Miss Maryanne Smith." "What! So it's you!" Upon hearing Milton's name, "Miss Maryanne Smith"

just sat down in her chair and instantly stood up again, "I'd have a blind date with anyone else except you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Milton put down the cup and calmly said, "Maryanne, you seem to hatevery much."

Turning back to Milton, Maryanne scoffed, "Aren't you the man who pleaded Amelia's case last time? Count me

as blind for agreeing to cout and meet a blind date without knowing the profile of the person I'm meeting... |

don't want to take over a man Amelia doesn't want!"

Milton was still smiling as if he was looking at an innocent little girl. "Don't you like Patrick very much? Why are

you still on the blind date?"

Maryanne was even more irritated. "It's none of your business!"

In fact, this was the requirement for Maryanne's parents to allow her to be released from her house arrest. After

the revelation that Amelia had been framed for stealing a flamingo brooch, Maryanne was locked up in her

house. She was expecting Hobart to help her invite Amelia to plead with her parents, while Hobart returned from

Land of Fragrance and only coldly told her to forget Patrick.

Desperate for help, Maryanne promised her parents that she agreed to a blind date, and they would no longer

trap her in the house.

So when her parents brought Maryanne the profiles of Northville's young elite men, she barely even looked at it

before casually pointing at one of the men.

Distinct from Maryanne's excitement, Milton wore a prepared calm, "I suggest you to calmly sit down with a glass

of water, and let's make a deal." Maryanne stared at him warily. "What deal?"

Milton pointed his finger at the empty seat, meaning for her to sit down.

Maryanne narrowed her eyes. If she just walked away it would mean she was afraid of him.

"I'd like to see what kind of trick you're playing." Not wanting to be humiliated, Maryanne sat back in her seat,

her chin held high and proud.

Milton laughed, "Just to be clear in advance, you don't likeand | equally despise you, so you don't have to

hold a bit of Tm liking you" doubt about what I'm about to say."

Maryanne frowned. Every man around Amelia was so ungrateful... Patrick was one of them... Milton was too!

Maryanne smiled dismissively, "Mr. Cook, if you're not going to discuss serious business, I'm not staying here."

Milton looked at ease as he said, "Considering how oppressed we both are by our parents in this matter, what do

you think about us pretending to be together and covering for each other for a while until we find the one we're

meant to be with, and then we'll part peacefully?"

Maryanne was taken aback, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

Milton stared at Maryanne and said, "I'm serious."

Maryanne admitted that this was a very attractive idea. However, the prejudice she had towards Amelia made

her even dislike Milton. She wondered if it was a trap.

It was possible that this was a trap set by Amelia and Milton. Just waiting for her to take the bait and avenge her

for the last time?

For the sake of discretion, Maryanne asked, "Honestly, in your condition, you'd have quite a few options, so why

me?"

"Because..." Milton smiled lightly, giving an outrageous but equally plausible reason, "we detest each other in

the extrand I'm sure that even if we stood naked in front of each other, neither you nor | would be

impressed, isn't it?"

Milton had thought about finding someone else, but it was inevitable that feelings would develop with them, and

what if they like him in the future? He would feel guilty.

Thinking about it, Maryanne was the best person, she loved Patrick and Milton liked Amelia, maybe one day...

their wish would ctrue?

Maryanne nodded her head in agreement to Milton's proposal after bowing her head in consideration, "So let's

start today and announce internally that we're in love, shall we?"

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

With the end of the last set of shots, the "Water of a Lifetime" commercial cto an end.

Patrick left after lunch, leaving his secretary with Amelia to keep watch.

After that incident at noon, the secretary behaved more dutifully, only for Amelia to get Patrick to withdraw his

order to withhold her pay.

After giving towels and water, the secretary said to Amelia, "Lettake you home."

"No need," Amelia shook her head and said, "I drove here myself."

The secretary was embarrassed. "But..."

Amelia understood. "Did Mr. Hopper asked you to takeback?"

The secretary replied with "yes" emphatically.
