Chapter 698
Patrick understood Amelia very well. She had never been interested in his private gathering. Thus, he had long
since prepared himself to be rejected by her.
When Amelia heard this, her bright eyes flashed with a hint of calculative after sthoughts. When Patrick was
waiting for her rejection, she replied unexpectedly, "Okay, I'll go with you." Patrick was stunned. "What did you
say?"
Amelia closed her car door and she locked it with her car key. Then she smiled sweetly at Patrick, "Didn't you ask
Patrick never thought that he would actually set a trap for himself!
When Patrick was thinking how he regretted about his decision, Amelia had already walked to his car in a few
steps. She walked past the front of the car and went to the front passenger seat. "Amelia!" Patrick shouted her
nall of a sudden. When she looked over, he pretended to be calm, "I suddenly remember that it may be
inappropriate for you to go with me." Amelia looked at him, "Why?"
"Because..." Patrick's eyes were calm. "The attendees are all men. They will feel uncomfortable when there's a
woman there."
"Really?" Amelia glanced at him calmly. The answer was obvious. He was not going to meet with his high school
friends!
Patrick nodded and said perfunctorily, "When a girl is invited to a gathering next time, I'll definitely bring you
there."
"Okay." Amelia took a step back and said with a fake smile, "Drive safe and have fun."
When Patrick heard this, he immediately felt relaxed and a smile appeared on his face, "Well, you too."
Both of them drove their own cars and went on their own way.

There was a crossroad after driving out of the first juctionc from the Land of Fragrance.
When Amelia saw the red light sign in front of her, she slowly stepped on the brakes.
There were two to three cars in between Patrick and Amelia's.
For sunknown reason, after the green light lit up, she followed Patrick's car with a safe distance.
However, Patrick was very familiar with Amelia's car model and plate number. Besides that, her tracking skills
were not very good, so he discovered it immediately.
Patrick kept staring at the rearview mirror, then he looked at the road condition in front of him. After that, he
stepped on the accelerator and the Lamborghini rushed out at lightning speed! "Sh*t!" His acceleration was
beyond Amelia's. With her driving skill and boldness, she could definitely not catch up with his speed.
The car gradually stopped, as well as her frustration. Amelia knew that her tracking skills must be so bad that it
made Patrick discovered her.
Amelia punched the steering wheel sadly and cursed in her heart, "Amelia, you are so useless! You can't even
keep your husband!"
In front of her.
Patrick got rid of Amelia, and his eyes suddenly grew with a flash of deep thought.
In the cafe.
Amelia took the chiffon cake and milk tea from Jessica. Then she asked the question not long after she entered
the shop, "Why is there only you in the shop?" Jessica who sat opposite of Amelia said with a wry smile,
"Because | dismissed all the employees."
Amelia was shocked and asked, "You've fired them? Why?"
Jessica's felt nostalgia as she looked around the store. After that, she said, "I didn't only fired them, I'm also
planning to sell the cafe."
Amelia could only responded with an 'Oh'. The reason Jessica did so because she wanted to raise the money as
soon as possible for Sierra to have the surgery.
For a moment, both of them lost in their own thoughts and did not speak.
When Amelia was eating the cake, Jessica looked and touched the things around her. After so many years, she
had developed feelings for this shop.
Amelia caught sight of her expression and an idea suddenly cto her. "Why don't you sell this cafe to me?"
Jessica's sad eyes narrowed. She looked at Amelia incredulously and asked, "What did you say?"
Amelia sat straight and said, "Sellall the equipment, teacups, and other things in the store. Do also give me
a friendship price and | will pay for everything. Is that okay?" Jessica's voice seemed to be muffled by a piece of
cotton wool and sounded a little hoarse. "Why did
you do this?"
Amelia spread her hands and said, "Well, such a good cafe, is better to keep for our own, don't you think?
Actually, I'm quite interested in running a cafe, although... I'm a newbie in this field."
"I remember that you just took over your father's company. If you run another cafe... Amelia, I'm afraid you can't
cope with it." Jessica stared at her and said.
"Yes, that's why | have a good idea!" Amelia said with a bright smile, "I not only want this store, | want your old
staff as well! You can becmy manager and your monthly salary will be deducted from the cafe's monthly
profit... Is thirty percent okay? or fifty percent?"
"Amelia!" Jessica interrupted all of a sudden. "This isn't child's play! Do you know that you're trying to make a
loss deal?"
Amelia smiled cheekily and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm happy that | can own a good cafe."
Jessica felt angry and said, "There's no problem if you want this cafe. | can sell it to you. You're worried that you
won't be able to run it well. So you want to hireas the cafe manager. That's fine as well. However, | won't
accept the condition of payingaccording to the monthly profit!"
Amelia was worried that her good intentions would hurt Jessica's self-esteem. She hurriedly said, "Okay, okay.
Then I'll hire you according to the market price. Is that okay?"
Jessica thought about it for a while before she agreed. "I'll be in charge of the contract between the two parties
and let you check it. What do you think?"
Amelia did not know why she felt a little uncomfortable. She thought that the relationship between Jessica and
her should not be like this...
She felt that Jessica was too polite towards her.
Amelia shook her head. She forced herself to think that it was just an illusion. "Okay. We will make the terms and
conditions clear. I'll listen to you."
When Jessica heard that, she smiled relievedly and said, "Thank you, Amelia. | didn't expect that you could settle
Sierra's medical fee and helpto secure my job as well." Amelia pretended to be angry and said, "Dear, you
used to be so shameless. I'm really not used to how you behave now when you keep thanking me." Jessica pulled
at her lips in vain.
Another hour passed...
After making an appointment with Jessica to sign the contract, Amelia stood up and left.
After she left, Jessica closed her eyes in discomfort.
No matter how many times Jessica hypnotized herself, it would be difficult for her to go back to normal with
Amelia after Howard and Jocelyn's .
