Chapter 421
Mamie and Leslie exchanged a look with each other. One of them said, "You want us to build a good relationship
with Mr. Hopper so that the PR can better perform next year and gain more financial support." Mr. Reed nodded
with satisfaction. "Good. Stop talking about it. Mr. Hopper is here."
Patrick stood still and asked, "Is everyone here?"
If they had paid attention to where he was standing, they would find that he and Amelia were shoulder to
shoulder.
But everyone's attention was on his face, so they all missed it.
At the garden restaurant.
Everyone was sitting around the table. Leslie dangled the crab's claw in front of Patrick and said vulnerability,
"Mr. Hopper, it is too hard forto open."
Sitting opposite Patrick, Amelia watched them silently.
Patrick remained unmoved and said to Leslie, "Too hard? Don't eat it then."
Well done! Amelia gave a praise to Patrick inwardly!
"Oh..." Leslie put down the crab. According to what normal people would do, shouldn't Patrick handle it for her
like a gentleman? Why didn't he follow her plan?
Sitting on the other side of Patrick, Mamie looked at Leslie with disdain and talked to Patrick in a normal voice.
Without trying to please Patrick, Mamie got him talking several times, which reminded Leslie of her missteps.
As if she had gotten Patrick intrigued by mentioning something, the president looked at Mamie seriously. "Before
you cto work for Roxxon, you taught junior high school?"
"Yes!" There was nostalgia in Mamie's eyes. "Sometimes, when | think of those lovely children, | do wish | could
leave my work alone and go back to visit them."
Patrick said softly, "Looks like you love teaching very much."
Seeing that Patrick seemed to have good impressions of teachers, Mamie hurriedly exaggerated, "Well, | have
said to myself many times that if | could be a teacher again, | will cultivate more good civilians for the society."
"Your idea... is admirable," Patrick commented sincerely.
At that, Mamie was so happy that she started to exaggerate her feelings even more.
Noticing the two in front of her had never stopped talking from the very beginning, Amelia emptied the wine

Ms. Reed was rather satisfied with her subordinates. Mamie was always resourceful and better than Leslie, who
only depended on her pretty face.
The meal was over at the second when Patrick put down his cutlery.
He looked at Amelia from a distance and said in an aloof tone, "Manager Ramsay, where should we go now?"
Manager Ramsay!
Hearing the address, Amelia had a strong impulse to jump into the chair and announce in front of everyone that
she was Mrs. Hopper after work, instead of Manager Ramsay!
Doris found that Amelia seemed to be possessed. Amelia kept glaring at Patrick, having no idea what disaster it
would bring to her and the
sales department.
One second, three seconds, five seconds...
Knowing that Amelia was still glaring at Patrick with "hatred", Doris was so worried that she almost cried.
"Amelia, what are you thinking? Mr. Hopper is asking you where to go next... Answer him immediately!" Doris's
voice pulled Amelia back to reality. Under everyone's confused gaze, she pretended nothing had happened and
said, "We've agreed to go to Triumph Karaoke. | don't know if you'll like it, Mr. Hopper?" There was interest in
Patrick's dark eyes. "Okay. I've never been to that place."
That place?
There was nothing particular about his tone, but no one could ignore the condescending feeling he gave.
The feeling was stronger to Amelia and reminded her of what Ms. Reed had said to her. It was as if Patrick was
looking down on the idea from their department.
Now Ms. Reed was watching her with a smile that seemed to be saying "I told you so".
Amelia couldn't bear it anymore, but she could vent her anger in public. As a result, she rearranged her features
and curled up the corner of her mouth.
"Since you said it's okay, let's get there now."
Since they had a group of people, they borrowed a bus from Roxxon. When Amelia walked into the vehicle, she
found that the secretary, who should have sat next to Patrick, was driven to the back seats. And the one Patrick
was talking with was still that Mamie!
Amelia couldn't help giving a few more looks at Mamie, wondering what it was about her that attracted Patrick
that much.

If she had not been in Patrick's presence, Mamie would quarrel with Leslie. Since she needed to leave a good
impression on Patrick now, Mamie had to
hold back her anger and said, "Of course, but there are only two seats each row. Are you going to stand there
talking to us? The bus is about to start"
The moment Mamie finished her words, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the whole car leaned
forward...

Excellent. Now Amelia's feet hurt. And her arm hurt. And the other parts of her body hurt more from annoyance!
But with her only focus on chatting with Patrick, Leslie didn't even say sorry to Amelia.
Patrick saw all of that.
And it brought coldness to the look he gave Leslie.
After they got off the bus, Patrick stopped next to Amelia's seat and asked, "Are you alright?"
Amelia gave him a quick look. "Of course not! How about | step on you and give you a good push!"
It was fair to say that Amelia was venting her anger on him. But if it weren't for Patrick attracting those women's
attention, how on earth could all this have happened to her!
