Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 650

Seeing that Amelia was unmoved by his suggestion, Jonathan heaved a long sigh, "President Ramsay, I'm not

supposed to be the one telling you all these. Instead, you should have thought of this on your own. I'm trying to

consider the problems from your perspective. Now that I've proposed a way out of the problem now, | hope you

can listen tothis time."

Amelia was made speechless as she could tell that Jonathan was reprimanding her.

She admitted that she could be wilful sometimes.

Most of the times, she had forgotten that she should have been handling the problems as an acting chairperson

of board rather than coming from her own personal perspective.

It was indeed true that she did not want to beg for help from Patrick. She could not guarantee that Patrick would

not take advantage of her once he agreed to help. However, right this moment it seemed as if Apex Construction

Corporation could only rely on Patrick and his company.

After a while, Ryker returned with a tray of coffee.

Jonathan recollected himself before he stood up from the chair and said, "President Ramsay, please consider my

words. I'll be leaving now."

After Jonathan left, Ryker handed Amelia a cup of hot coffee and asked tentatively, "President Ramsay, what's

wrong with Mr. Tucker? He left in anger without having his coffee."

Amelia replied in annoyance, "It's not the first tthat this old fellow had been using the current state of Apex

Construction Corporation to threaten me. His purpose is to make my husband one of the shareholders, isn't this

a trap to causetrouble?"

She lowered her head and gulped on the coffee as if she was very iritated.

Ryker replied, "Oh, | see..."

Amelia quietly drank her coffee but her thoughts were preoccupied by Jonathan's suggestion. She wondered if

she should have followed his words in dealing with this matter.

It was also because of this matter that Amelia's thought was so engaged to the extent that she had completely

forgotten to call Patrick at noon.

In the afternoon.

Before work dismissal, Amelia texted Jonathan in order to ask him out after work.

The venue of the meeting was fixed at a restaurant which was quite sdistance away from Apex Construction

Corporation. Considering his age, Amelia thought that he might not like fast food. Hence she had purposely

chosen a fine dining.

As a host, Amelia had arrived earlier than Jonathan.

"Uncle Tucker, here."

Seeing that Jonathan looked around as he entered into the restaurant, Amelia stood up from her seat and waved

at Jonathan from a distance.

It was undeniable that Amelia's beauty was indeed her best weapon. It was hard for any men to resist her

beauty.

Even Jonathan was already old, that did not refraining him from admiring her beauty. He even felt uneasy at her

staring that he subconsciously straightened his suit before he walked over to her. Cleanliness and tidiness of

attire was the most basic respect that a man could offer to a woman.

"Uncle Tucker, you're here."

"Hello President Ramsay."

"You don't need to callthat in private." Amelia smiled as she said.

"There are formalities that must be followed regardless." Jonathan said solemnly before he sat on the seat

opposite to her.

"Alright." Amelia did not want to waste ton this issue either.

She raised her hand and poured a cup of black tea for herself and Jonathan before asking, "Uncle Tucker, for the

sake of tsaving, I've already ordered the dishes before you came. You won't mind right?" Jonathan shook his

head, "Nope, | won't. | don't have any particular preference."

Acknowledging his reply, Amelia continued, "Let's not beat around the bush. I'm here to confirm with you over a

few matters on the topic that we've discussed earlier today."

Jonathan raised his eyebrows. He must admit that his interest was flagging when he was first invited here by

Amelia. However, right this moment he began to show great interest in the conversation that they were going to

have next, "Can | interpret this as you accepting my proposal?"

Amelia did not answer his question directly, "Uncle Tucker, before | answer, | have several questions to ask."

Jonathan sat up straight and said, "Sure. I'll answer honestly as long as it's something | know."

Amelia said, "You said that the government would invest in the early stage for the project in Eastern district.

What about the middle and late stage? Who is going to pay for the expenses?"

Jonathan said, "The investment at the early stage from government is a mere gesture of support to the project.

The future expenses will certainly be responsible by the corporation in charge of this project." "Why is the

government not responsible for full extent of expenses?" Amelia asked in confusion.

Jonathan replied, "The government

only earned commission from this

project. They do not want to have the

profit all by their hs Aftecathitls

the plan for them than doing on their

own from scraps. For instance, in the

Amelia was in a dilemma, "If the government only invests at the early stage, this would mean that we still need

to take out a huge amount of fund for this... I'm afraid that the current fund of Apex Construction Corporation is

very limited."

Jonathan looked at her and asked with a smile, "What you said makes sense as well. However, | also know that

you've been gathering fund for the company all this while."

Amelia caressed her hair and said

with Apex Construction Corporation.

"But, is Apex Construction Corporation capable of such a huge project?" Amelia was moved by such a proposal

yet she had her own doubts.

Jonathan emphasized, "The most

Amelia took a sip of tea and murmured, "Mm... It makes sense too."

After a short silence, a waiter cwith a kitchen cart with another waiter following at the back. The latter one

was responsible of serving the dishes to them, he introduced, "Sir, miss, these are the dishes that you've

ordered. Braised pork, stewed beef and pan-seared beer fish..."

Jonathan stared at the dishes in front of him and changed to a relaxing topic, "They looks scrumptious."

Amelia blushed and said, "I don't think it's enough. Uncle Tucker, | feel sorry for letting you to assist someone as

useless as me."

Jonathan said straightforwardly, "President Ramsay, three dishes for two persons, they are far more than

enough."

Amelia said in relief, "If Uncle Tucker don't mind, then we can start eating now."

While eating, Amelia took a at glance at Jonathan. Seeing that his expression was calm and relaxing which gave

an impression of a friendly uncle, Amelia could not help asking, "Uncle Tucker, I'd like to ask you one more

question. Wouldn't it be too risky for a company to take down this project when it is still currently liable for

debt?"
