Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

fascinates me."

Patrick's face tensed taut. "You don't believe me?"

Amelia parted her red lips slightly and replied, "I just feel that Mr. Hopper seems to regard Apex Construction

Corporation as a toy, for you to toss and play around..."

She admitted she was holding sgrudge against Patrick because of what happened involving Sissi. Adding on

the unpleasant memories from last night, she had no choice but to question anything he said at this moment.

Patrick said, a coldness in his voice, "If | really do treat Apex Construction Corporation as a toy, then | could've

crushed it under my thumb fairly easily. And yet, | chose to sit here and discuss it with you. Haven't you

understand my intentions by now?"

Amelia's expression frosted. "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Sensing that her interest was rippled, Patrick added on hastily, "I'm not kidding, | really want to assist you."

Knowing how huge her ego was, he had to substitute the word 'help' with ‘assist’.

After a pause, Amelia then told him, "I can't say for certain when my social meetings are going to be."

Patrick already had the answer to her question. "You can try your best to arrange your meetings after work. | can

drive over to your office and pick you up."

Amelia then asked again, "What if you happen to have other plans when | need to attend the meetings?"

Patrick promised, "If possible, I'll postpone my plans. If | seriously can't make it, | hope you can postpone yours."

Amelia finally said her final question, "Is it better if | pay you a salary?"

Patrick broke into laughter. "Up to you."

If he accepted payments from Amelia, he would then be a casual worker of Apex Construction Corporation.

Given his status andworth, no matter how wealthy or successful an enterprise was, they still

could not afford to hire Patrick.

He himself was a major shareholder and the boss, and there was no need for him to lift a finger for others.

But at this point, to please his wife and make up for the mistakes he had committed, Patrick was willing to do so.

However, Amelia had no idea how much of an advantage she had. On the contrary, she was still pondering

Patrick's words over and over again.

"Could he be using this opportunity to sneak into Apex Construction Corporation and try to destroy the company

from the inside?" thought Amelia.

It was evident that she was failing to see the extent of the offer she was given. Even if Patrick had wanted to ruin

her company, there was no need for him to involve himself at all.

Amelia said carefully, "I've thought about it. It's not easy for Apex Construction Company to churn out more

money for such an outstanding talent like you, Mr. Hopper. So, | think we should forget about it..."

"I don't need you to paymuch, an ordinary employee's salary will do," Patrick explained quickly.

Amelia clenched her jaw and suppressed the urge to ask him what was it that he really wanted. She rolled her

eyes and said, "I can promise you, but before

that, we have to sign an agreement."

Patrick raised his eyebrow and looked at Amelia's eyes, filled with amusement.

Amelia stood up from her chair. "Wait forhere, | need to go back to my room to do something."

"What is it?" Patrick asked.

"You'll find out later." Amelia did not explain more and hurried upstairs.

As soon as Amelia left, Patrick immediately cast a glance at Huxton in the living room. "How was my

performance?"

Huxton, who was in the middle of making tea, trembled when he heard him. He said, "Sir, | didn't eavesdrop on

your conversation."

Shrewdness flashed across Patrick's eyes. "Didn't you install a bug on her?"

Patrick had still remembered this, unexpectedly.

Huxton lied against his will, "Don't worry, sir. | never listen to the things that | shouldn't hear."

Patrick sneered. "That's enough. Don't think | haven't noticed you looking our way."

Huxton's face clouded over. So, in the end, he could only admit, "Sir, you know it all."

"Now that you've heard us, letask you, what do you think of the tone | used on her? Was it

appropriate?"

Huxton's eyes twitched. He did not know if he was hallucinating, but he thought he could sense a hint of anxiety

from his master's words.

Seeing the lack of response from Huxton, Patrick doubted himself. "Was it not good enough?"

If this did not work, he was really running out of ways to mend his relationship with Amelia.

Huxton, who just regained his senses, encouraged him right away, "I think you've done a very good job, Sir. At

least... it was better than before."

Patrick was satisfied with his answer. "Hmm, | knew it!" He expressed cheerfully.

Huxton pursed his lips and looked at Patrick, impotent.

Not only that, but he also tended to put all of his emotions on display whenever he was with her. The manner of

dependable maturity that he always wore would also vanish.

Not long after, Amelia returned with a small laptop in her arms. "I'm back."

Patrick glanced at the laptop and

asked with suspicion, "What's this?"

"Oh, it's the contracto{dgreefdrit”

Ametia laced the laptop on the

dining table, faced the screen

towards Patrick, and leaned back to

instinctively, "Firstly, during his period
