Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 649

"You don't have to explain yourself. Do you really think that | can't live without you?"

Under the influence of alcohol and upon Amelia's rejection, Patrick faced another emotional outburst.

With that said, he grabbed over the suit and tie left on the sofa and left with his expression darkened. "Patrick..."

Amelia hastily called out his nfrom behind, "It's already late. Where are you going now?"

However, Patrick was in the middle of anger that he did not bother to look at Amelia, let alone answering her

question.

In fact, Amelia had been completely wrong in making her assumption. Patrick left in hurry because he was

worried that he might have hurt her when he was raging.

However, Amelia was so depressed that her tears could not stop falling down. She did not mean to reject Patrick.

All she wanted to do was to remind him of the presence of the body guard in the hall.

But it was obvious that he had misunderstood it as she refused to let him touch her...

Throwing her arms around her knees, Amelia buried her head in between with her tears streaming.

The next day.

A beam of light from the breaking dawn fell on Amelia. She tossed around before she finally woke up.

She got up from the couch and took a quick glance of the surrounding just to find out that she was right in the

hall.

In other words, she had cried and fallen asleep in the hall.

She wondered if Patrick had returned or not.

Thinking of this, she turned over and stood up. Putting on her slippers, she cto the shoe cabbut

Patrick's leathered shoes were nowhere to be seen. Amelia was filled with disappointment. If he did not come

back at all, she wondered where had he been staying overnight.

She walked into the bathroom absent-mindedly and glanced at the mirror right in front of her. Upon noticing that

her eyes were badly swollen, she laughed bitterly, "No wonder Patrick wanted to leave. Of course he is not

interested with your unattractive face."

After she had a brief breakfast, Amelia drove onto the highway.

On the way, her eyes kept lingering on the phone which was located on the co-passenger seat. She was

pondering if she should have call Patrick and ask his whereabout.

But what if he chose not to pick up?

Tpassed as she was deliberating on whether to call him. She was already getting off from the highway when

she cback to her sense and she could already see the sign of Apex Construction Corporation from distance.

Amelia recollected herself from her thoughts. She leaned over to the steering wheel and spoke to herself, "I'll call

later at noon."

At this moment, her cellphone rang. Amelia's hope lifted a little as she reached out to answer the call through

her hands-free bluetooth device, "Hello?"

"President Ramsay, Jonathan Tucker here! Are you free to talk now?"

"Oh... Uncle Tucker! I'm reaching the company soon. Let's talk it over when I'm there."

"Alright, I'll wait for you in your office."

"Sure. See you later, Uncle Tucker."

Upon hanging the call, Amelia sped up without hesitation.

After successfully parked her car at the parking lot, Amelia opened her car door and marched off.

She subsequently took a lift and cto her office. She pushed open her office door and looked inside.

She could see someone standing up from the wooden chair that was specially meant for guests and greeted her,

"Good morning, President Ramsay"

"Good morning, Uncle Tucker." After replying Jonathan expressionlessly, Amelia gestured him to sit down, "Have

a seat first."

"Alright." Jonathan nodded.

Amelia turned her head and said to Ryker as usual, "Ryker, could you please bring over two cups of coffee for

us?"

"Sure." Ryker left temporarily.

Whenever Ryker left, it was when Amelia and Jonathan began to actively share their conversation.

Amelia leaned against the arm of Jonathan's chair and asked, "Uncle Tucker, is there anything urgent?"

Jonathan replied quickly, "There is a piece of land in Eastern district which had been recently approved for

planning by the government. One week later it will be open for tender. President Ramsay, | feel like this is a good

opportunity."

Amelia could not wait to listen to his proposal, "Uncle Tucker, could you please elaborate in detail."

Jonathan continued with his serious

expression, "The government of

Northville had decided to build a

Hearing this, Amelia was not sure if

she was supposed to be amused by

Jonathan smiled and said, "Judging from all aspects of the company now, | know it's indeed difficult for us to take

down this planning project.

However, President Ramsay, you can rebrand the company."

Amelia asked again, "Rebrand?"

Sqn

Jonathan said, "Everyone knows that

every product will require packaging.

Amelia nodded and said, "I understand. Rebranding is akin to tactic of brainwashing. It meant to add value to the

ordinary item through packaging. But Uncle Tucker, to rebrand the whole company is definitely not an easy task."

Jonathan gave her a meaningful look and said, "It might not be an easy task for others, but it will not be a

problem at all for you. You're Mr. Patrick's wife, the daughter-in-law of the Hopper's family. With only this criteria,

you have the advantage for any negotiations!"

Amelia was shocked as she exclaimed, "You wantto make use of..."

Jonathan interrupted softly, "Don't make it sound bad by terming it as 'making use'. Aren't you and Mr. Patrick

legal spouse? There's nothing wrong in sharing the difficulties during hard tfor any spouses." Amelia looked

reluctant as she said, "But I..."

Jonathan observed her as he said, "Even if you indeed have any unspeakable difficulties, you need not

necessarily tell Mr. Patrick about this project. One week later, all you need to do is indirectly revealing your

relationship with Mr. Patrick as well as the pampering from the Hopper family during your negotiation. | believe

all these will no longer serve as problems to us."

Amelia was completely stunned.

With his finger softly tapping on the arm of the chair, Jonathan spoke again at ease, "In that case, even if we

don't have the investment from Roxxon Corporation and support from Mr. Patrick, Apex Construction Corporation

will somehow achieve our purpose."

Amelia frowned and asked, "Uncle Tucker, can | interpret the meaning of your words as you wantto rely on

the title of The Hopper family so that we can increase the market value of our company?"
