Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 51

"No worries. | don't argue with her." Patrick was calm with a smile when saying this. Maryanne got crazy at

Patrick's smile and neglected the dispute with Amelia. When Patrick was choosing the horses with Maryanne

beside the fence, the smile on Amelia's face withered in an instant.

"Miss Amelia, how are you?" In another instant, Hobart invited her to be seated.

She smiled and sat on the folding chair where Patrick was seated before.

They chatted trivially. All of a sudden, Hobart's tone changed, "Miss Amelia, you are young and capable of your

work. Besides Roxxon, have you considered job-hopping?" Amelia asked respectfully, "For example?"

Hobart adjusted his tie and spoke with a tinge of teasing in his eyes, "Sleep with me?"

Normally, men would not speak to women so erotically. But it was her flirting conversation with Mr. Hopper that

made her assumed to be a cheap one.

Amelia had an inner struggle but replied innocently with her chin in her hand, "Mr. Hobart, you should ask for my

boss's permission, as | can't decide myself."

Hearing this, Hobart beceven more interested and flirted, "Could it be that he loves you so much that can't

let you go?"

"It's not a matter of love or not." Amelia sighed and said, "He can givewhat you can't."

Hobart narrowed his eyes and asked with insistence, "What can he give you?"

Amelia shook her right hand and the sun fell on the ring on her ring finger, which was dazzling.

Hobart did not think too much of it. Instead, he thought that Amelia wanted him to touch her hand. Just as he

was about to stretch out to touch the fine and slim hand, Amelia was pulled up harshly from the chair.

Struggling to get rid of the palm, Amelia asked Patrick with a reluctant smile, "Mr. Hopper, you are done with

your horse- riding tutoring with Miss Maryanne?"

Staring at Amelia, Patrick spoke to The Smith brother and sister, "The horses look lazy today. I'm afraid Miss

Maryanne might fall from the horseback and well continue next time."

"That's easy." Hobart got up and said with a smile, "It seems none of us have fun today. Let's negotiate next

time, okay, Mr. Hopper?"

Nodding and turning around, Patrick dragged Amelia away.

Kicking the door open of the changing room, Patrick forcefully squeezed Amelia into one of the lockers and said

in a low and serious voice, "What the hell are you doing?!" Amelia replied, pretending to be reasonable, "What

happened?"

Patrick, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, approached her, "How dare you askwhat happened? How

dare you hook up with Hobart?"

The fire burning in Amelia's beautiful eyes and she asked, "How did you know | hooked up with him?"

Patrick pointed his eyes, indicating that he saw it with his eyes.

Amelia smiled and said, "Since you hooked up with Maryanne, why don't you allowto do the swith her

brother?"

Patrick was even more annoyed and said, "You know nothing! It's a strategy of negotiation."

It was known that Hobart spoiled his sister very much and he had no option but agreed with whatever his sister

did. So Patrick knew clearly that to get the business of The Smith, he must please the sister. Once she was

happy, everything would be in control.

However Patrick did not tell Amelia about this, so Amelia misunderstood and said, "Your hook-up is called

strategy, while mine is just a hook-up. Don't set double standards."

"I'm a man, and you're a woman. | playing with Maryanne equals to take her advantage, while you playing with

Hobart means you are taken advantage of by him. You'll be in big trouble. You forgot how Bruce Miller treated

you?!"

It was rare for Amelia to agree with Patrick, "That's right, my hook-up wasn't strategic like yours. You just had a

scandal with an actress and another one with Maryanne. Mr. Hopper, aren't you too busy?" Patrick looked at her

in confusion and asked, "Actress? Who?"

Amelia stressed, "You cout of the airport with the actress. Why do you pretend to know nothing about it?"

Patrick was in deep thought and recalled that he met a starlet on the flight back from his business trip a few

weeks ago. But they just greeted each other at the airport and then left separately.

It was totally an accident that they were photographed by the paparazzi just at that moment. It might be the

actress's agent company that wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hype.

When he was about to tell the truth, Patrick saw Amelia's eyes full of distrust and got annoyed angry and said,

"You know what | am, and you can't stand it anymore? Then you can tell my dad about it and let's divorce."

Amelia's hand hanging on the side of her body suddenly tightened into a fist. She held it back for a while and

finally kept silent.

Smiling with satisfaction, as if he had finally found a way to shut her up, Patrick opened the door and walked

away.

After he left, Amelia smoothed her wrinkled shirts, as if nothing had happened, and left.

The next day, at Roxxon.

At the lunch break, Amelia received a call from Milton and they agreed to meet outside Jessica's coffee bar after

work.

It was sunset.

Amelia left office and arrived at the coffee bar.

There was a candy house next to the cafe. Amelia bought ten lollipops with the package of the stars in the solar

system and put them into a gift box, which was packed by a pink bag. "Thank you for shopping with us and come

again!" Upon Amelia pushed the door open, the clerk smiled and said, "Have a lovely evening."

"Thank you. Hope so." Amelia seemed to respond to her, but also comforted herself.

As soon as Amelia stepped out of the store, Milton waved to her, "Amelia!"

Amelia trotted over. Milton looked at the pink bag in her hand, reaching out and was about to take it, but was

pushed away by her. She said, "Don't touch it. | bought it for Auntie Sierra."

Milton could do nothing but put one hand in his pocket and opened the car door for Amelia with the other and

said, "Please, my beauty."

Jessica was away to buy singredients for coffee, but her employees were very familiar with Amelia, who saw

Amelia close to such a handsman and ran out to ask her if she was going for Saint Valentine's Day in

advance.

"We knew each other since childhood, but not the kind of relationship you assume," Amelia explained to the

waiter and did not notice the frustrated look on Milton's face. The Cook family.

Sierra Gates, Milton's mother, stood alone at the door of the villa, waiting for him.

Getting out of the car, Amelia cto the front of Sierra and greeted her in an effeminate voice, "Aunt Sierra,

how have you been?"

Sierra hugged Amelia graciously. It was her birthday that day, and she had looked forward to seeing Amelia.

Handing over the carefully selected gifts, the good girl said, "Aunt Sierra, happy birthday to you! Wish you

forever young and beautiful."

Looking at the pink bag and the pink gift box, Sierra got excited and asked her son, "Look, is it a good match for

my dress?"

When she gave birth to Milton, Sierra was only 20 years old. Tonight she was in a pink cheongsam. Milton joked,

"Yes, you are so beautiful! You look like Amelia's sister."
