Chapter 350
Maryanne frowned in pain. After glaring at Milton, she waved at Sierra and said, "Aunty, that's fine. I'll just go
hand eat."
"Maryanne, you think my cooking is bad, don't you?" she asked, sounding a little hurt.
Maryanne was used to being arrogant, but Sierra was a very gentle woman. Even if she had a bad temper, she
didn't want to upset her, "Aunty, that's not what | meant."
"Then stay here," Sierra said, her eyes glinting with anticipation as she stared at her.
It was hard to refuse her kindness, so Maryanne could only ignore Milton's increasingly displeased gaze and
replied, "Alright."
Sierra smiled, "That's great, you guys go to the living room and hang out first. I'll head to the kitchen to prepare
dinner. It won't be long until it's done."
During the dinner, it seemed that Sierra mentioned inadvertently, "Milton, Maryanne, do you intend to get
engaged?"
"Pfft..." Maryanne couldn't hold back any longer as the mashed potato spurted out of her mouth. She lowered
her head in shand thought that something so unrefined would really happen to her! Milton calmly wiped the
mashed potato with a napkin and threw it into the trash can. Then he said to Sierra with a poker face, "Mom, you
scared
Maryanne."
Sierra put down her fork and knife and turned to look at Maryanne. "Sorry, please don't mind."
"Ahem... it's okay..." Maryanne stared at Milton's hand on the table and couldn't help but feel better about him
when she thought that it was the shand that had helped her wipe off the mashed potato without minding
the dirt.
After the meal, Milton couldn't wait to say to Sierra, "Mom, I'll take Maryanne home."
Then, he turned to look at Maryanne and said, "Let's
H go.
Maryanne, who had been secretly watching him, clenched the glass of water in her hand somewhat sheepishly
after meeting his cold stare, "Okay..."
Sierra said enthusiastically to them at the door, "Well, you guys take care on the road, and Maryanne cover
more often if you want."
"Okay." Maryanne nodded her head in a hurry and followed Milton to the parking lot.
Maryanne gasped as she chased Milton: "I thought you said you were a gentleman, couldn't you have waited a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlittle longer for me..."
At that, Milton stopped abruptly and Maryanne ran straight into his back. Maryanne rubbed her nose that hurt
from the impact and hammered his back depressed, "Big bad! If you were going to stop, couldn't you have told
"Maryanne." Milton turned around with a serious look. "We're just in a fake relationship, but not yet in a fake
marriage."
Maryanne was stunned and said in annoyance, "Of course | know. There's no need for you to remind me. I'm
popular among men, you don't have to worry that I'll turn out to fall in love with you!" Maryanne was so
disgusted with him, but the expression on Milton's handsface didn't change: "That's good."
The next day, at Roxxon Corporation.
After Amelia got off work, she was about to leave the company when she suddenly received a phone call that
surprised her. "Miss Amelia Ramsay, are you free now?"
For a moment, Amelia couldn't recognize who it was. "Excuse me, who is this, please?"
The person on the other side of the phone laughed and said, "You are really forgetful. | just met you at the gate
of the police station yesterday. You pretend that you don't knownow." Amelia gasped. "Are you... Tommy?"
"Bingo!" Tommy did not change his smile. "Miss Amelia Ramsay, | think... it's tto solve the problem between
us in the 'Niteral Dynasty" that day."
Amelia calmly said, "I've completely forgotten about What happened in 'Niteral Dynasty’. Tommy, it's been so
long ago and nothing bad has happened."
Tommy insisted, "I think it's better for you to cout once."
Amelia had no mood to answer him. "What if | say no?"
Tommy clearly said, "I heard that your father's health is not very good recently, Apex Construction Corporation's
business has also becless prosperous, now need to rely on your future brother-in-law to develop that tourist
area project to restore business, if that tourist area suddenly by the government intervention, delayed
completion or simply can not be completed, Apex Construction Corporation's The previous investment will be
wasted."
Upon hearing his words, Amelia was very shocked, "How... how do you know all this?"
Tommy answered, "That's why | go to the police station yesterday."
It suddenly dawned on Amelia that Tommy had made a special trip to the police station to investigate her.
This made her very angry. "You think you can do whatever you want?"
Tommy smiled slightly and said, "Don't doubt it. Although I'm only a secretary, | can talk to the head of the
Department of Public Security."
Amelia asked through gritted teeth, "What do you want?"
Tommy said straightforwardly, "Cto The Oriental Cafe. I'll see you before 7 o'clock, and you better not be
late 1"
Then Tommy hung up the call, leaving no room for discussion.
Amelia quickly turned and took the elevator to the president's office, wanting to discuss with Patrick.
As soon as she appeared in front of the office, Miss secretary opened the door and saw Amelia coming, so she let
her in.

A trivial person...
Amelia felt heartbroken after hearing what Patrick said, and there was no need for her to listen to the
conversation that followed. Her body trembled as she held on to the wall and left as silently as she had
come.

In The Oriental Cafe.
Before Amelia went to the cafe, she used eye drops to soothe her eyes. She couldn't meet Tommy with this
crying look, or he would think she was easy to bully!
When they met, Tommy behaved
courteously, not at all aggressive like
when they chatted on the phone.

Tommy handed over the menu and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Amelia didn't look at it and said, "I want a cup of espresso."
