Chapter 609
In the face of his refusal, Amelia pouted her lips and said, "If you don't help me, then | can only rely on myself."
Patrick's eyes were cold. Relied on herself? What else did she want to do with them in front of him!
"By the way, wouldn't it be boring for you if you chere in the middle of the night and didn't do anything?"
Amelia really could not understand and thought. "If he hadn't cto help her, why would he cto such a
place? Isn't it better to stay at hand rest?" Patrick was extremely angry but then he laughed and said, "Who
said | had nothing to do? Watching you get aroused is what | want to do most at this moment." This time, Amelia
was choked by his words.
A derisive smile appeared on Patrick's lips. He ordered, "Now, get off my leg."
The corners of Amelia's eyes twitched. She tugged pitifully at his black coat. "Don't be so mean, please go easy
onin front of so many people."
However that was not enough to change Patrick's mind. "Get off." "Alright..."
People would only care about what they saw, they would never care about what they did not see. All men were
equally the sin this way.
With a self-deprecating smile, Amelia let go of her arms around Patrick's neck and jumped down from his thighs.
The skirt's hemline wavered as she cdown from Patrick's lap, she did not know how many sceneries had she
revealed.
Fortunately, Patrick's eyes were sharp and deadly. All the other men in the box turned their heads away and did
not see what happened.
Rubbing her slightly swollen forehead, Amelia picked up two cups and a bottle of whiskey from the coffee table.
Then she took three steps forward and poured the wine into the glass.
A moment later, she handed one of the glasses to Hendrix and said with a smile, "Director Lawrence, if | recall
our agreement, as long as | drink with you to your heart's content, you will persuade the top management of the
company to hand over the project to Apex Construction Corporation, right?"
After a while, Hendrix, who had not taken any
advantage of the situation managed to say, "Yes."
Amelia chuckled and said, "Then have we drank to your heart's content? If not, let's continue drinking."
Hendrix's eyes fell on the wine glass that she was holding up. As if he had made up his mind, he took it and
drank it all!
"President Ramsay, this is to wish us all the best in our cooperation. | still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Amelia bowed her head and sipped a mouthful of whiskey as if she had won the game. However, she said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnothing about being taken advantage of before, "Alright, Mr. Lawrence, take care." Just as Hendrix was packing
up his things and running away, Patrick said in a deep voice, "Since you're already here, why are you in such a
hurry to leave?"
Hendrix paused and turned to look at Patrick. He asked politely and nervously, "Mr. Patrick, I'm here to discuss a
project with your wife. Do you have any suggestions or advice?" Huh, Hendrix was being polite now. Who was the
one that called himself her ‘husband’ when she pretended to be drunk on the sofa just a moment before? Amelia
let out a cold smile.
"I'm not dare to give advice." Patrick lifted his foot and stomp the peanuts that had fallen to the ground. After
that, he looked at Hendrix evilly, Patrick was silently threatening him. Hendrix froze. He felt that in Patrick's eyes,
he could not be compared to the crushed peanut.
"Mr. Patrick, if you have any instructions, just say it. I'm listening!"
"Since you wantto speak, then I'll get straight to the point. | just don't think your enterprise is worthy of
cooperating with the Apex Construction Corporation." Amelia was stunned.
Hendrix was even more dumbfounded.
Patrick glanced at the other five people one by one, "I'm not talking to him but to all of you who are present."
When everyone left, there would be nothing left.
Amelia looked at this scene with disbelief. The anger that had been suppressed for a long tsurged out at this
moment.
She clenched her fist and rushed to Patrick. She was not as happy as before. "Patrick, what do you mean by
this?" "Don't shout at me," Patrick said slowly. "I'll take it as you provoking me."
Amelia could not care less. "Do you know what I've done tonight would be in vain because of your words?"
From the second she stepped into Maya Hotel, she had forced herself to tolerate!
Director Lawrence and his group had teased her, but she kept quiet about it. When they touched her she kept
quiet too!
In the end, she had to risk her life to accompany them to the nightclub to have fun. All of this was done just to
ensure that she could complete the task that was given by Jonathan which was to secure all the projects.
But Patrick ruined all these as soon as he stepped in the room, he did not even help her, which made her even
more confused!
A great sense of frustration welled up in her heart. She was really sad. What she had tried so hard to fight for
was affected by just one decision made by Patrick.
Once he said the word 'no’, all her expectations and efforts would instantly turn into ashes!
Seeing the unwillingness on Amelia's face, Patrick put on a softer tone and said, "Listen, they're not suitable for
you."
Amelia said angrily, "I'm not going on a blind date. | don't care if they are not suitable for me! What | want is
business. Do you understand how important are these businesses are in order to maintain the company's
operation?"
Patrick glanced at her but she could not tell his emotions. "You like to be taken advantage of by men, don't you?"
A look of disgust flashed across Amelia's face. "Of course not! It's just that this kind of thing is inevitable."

After taking out the cigarette, Patrick lit it up and put it into his mouth.
After a moment of silence, he chuckled and asked, "When did you learn how to gain benefits with your beauty?
Don't tellthat it was Roxxon who taught you that."
Amelia felt unhappy and said, "Can't | learn it myself?"
Without any expression, Patrick said, "I think you're degrading yourself."
The word ‘degrading’ strike Amelia straight on her heart, It made breathing difficult for her.
If she was degrading herself by keeping these people accompanied, what about him being with Sissi for these
few days? Was he self-indulgencing in happiness?

Patrick frowned. "Compensation?"
"Yes!" Amelia nodded and picked up the leather bag that was left at the corner by Director Lad. She took out a
palm-sized notebook from it. She opened it and started to read what was written in it.
