Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 728

Jonathan gave her a sidelong glance and told her from the bottom of his heart, "Hit you? | wouldn't dare! Your

protectors will knockout before | even have a chance to raise my fist!"

"Uncle Tucker, what protectors are you talking about! There are more who wants my downfall!" Amelia mocked

herself then continued to ask with a smile, "How about you scoldingto feel better?" "Okay, that's enough.

Stop pretending to be pitiful!" Jonathan chided Amelia out of amusement. Then, he asked, "Where were we?"

Seeing that Jonathan had no intention to continue with her banter, Amelia immediately regained her composure

and replied, "We were just talking about Kaleb wanting to findanother assistant only forto reject him."

"Well, it's great that you know how to refuse him! Because if you'd let him arranged for you, you're definitely

only getting another pair of ears on you."

Amelia nodded in return. "I think so too!"

Jonathan then added, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to find someone generally capable with a clean background to

be your assistant. | won't allow Kaleb

to succeed with his schemes!"

Amelia pouted and complained in sdissatisfaction, "Uncle Tucker, how can you say that? Of course you have

to find someone talented to be my assistant!"

Jonathan only shook his head with a smile. "If an average assistant goes rouge, we can still react in tto their

disloyalty. But if it's someone brilliant and smart, you'll be in deep trouble. I'm doing this for your own good. Just

listen to me."

Amelia was stunned. Then, she exclaimed with a melotic tone as if she was hurt, "Ah, | see. You are

worried | won't be able to handle a talented assistant! You're looking down on me!"

Putting up an act of a shocked expression, Jonathan gaped at her, "Is it that obvious?"

Upon hearing him, Amelia could not help but pucker her lips like that of a goldfish and whined unhappily, "Uncle

Tucker!"

"Okay, okay, | won't tease you anymore! I'm doing this purely for your sake. I'm just afraid that you'll be at the

bad end of it."

"Okay, Uncle Tucker! I'll take your advice!"

Jonathan nodded with satisfaction and added, "We've already ended the big show of lie in front of everyone.

Should we find a tto visit Mr. Quartley

next?"

Amelia's smile froze slightly. "But I'm worried that... Mr. Quartley will refuse to see us."

Jonathan scowled. "Why do you think so, President Ramsay?"

Amelia analyzed for him, saying, "Firstly, | don't know Mr. Quartley in person. Secondly, I've rashly said that he

has promised to invest in our company when | don't even know him. It was a lie! And because of this breach of

honesty on my part, | don't know if Mr. Quartley will regardas a liar. Thirdly, even if he forgivesfor it, I'm

not fully confident that | can secure his investment..."

Drawling on earnestly, Jonathan said, "Whether it's a success or not, it depends on you, President Ramsay. Don't

always underestimate your ability and luck. As a matter of fact, before taking part in the tender meeting, you

said that Apex Construction Corporation had no chance to take over the project in the eastern district.

But look at what happened, aren't you almost succeeding?

Then, take a look at every single employee in the company. They're so immersed in their work today as if they're

on steroids!

Sof those who handed their letters of resignation to the human resources department are now regretting it

so much that they're asking for the letters back.

President Ramsay, you may think that you've made a shameful lie at the meeting. And now, you're deep in guilt,

timid, and clueless about your next steps.

However, at the stime, you've also brought hope to millions of the company's employees. Everyone is

sincerely thankful to you, and they'll continue to help the company with actions! You're not alone in this fight!"

"You're not alone..." the phrase echoed in Amelia's head.

An urge to cry rose in Amelia's chest all of a sudden. "Uncle Tucker, I..."

Jonathan patted the back of Amelia's hand and said, "Promise me. No matter what the result is, let's give it a try

first, shall we?"

Amelia was washed over by high ambition at this moment. She expressed, "Well, | promise you! I'll do my best to

get the investment!"

After Jonathan left the office, Amelia picked up her phone from the desk right away, intending to give Kaiden a

call.

But in the next second, she noticed she had a missed call, and Patrick's nwas on the screen.

Why did he call her for?

Amelia then dialled him back.

"Beep... Beep... I'm sorry. The number you've call is currently busy. Please try again later..."

Busy? It was clear that Patrick had declined her call on purpose!

Or was he in a private call with Sissi again?

Bearing this possibility in mind, Amelia's clench around her phone tightened without her notice.

However, before she could think more about it, the screen, which just dimmed, lit up again and rang.

Amelia cback to her senses and saw that Patrick was calling her.

After accepting the call, she then blasted bluntly, "Hello! Why did you calljust now? Go straight to the point!

I'm very busy!" After a moment of silence, he responded by asking with concern, "Why are you so hot-tempered?

Who angered you?"

Amelia stopped herself from saying 'You!' and instead asked coldly, "Tell me, why did you call me?"

"| miss you."

His words took Amelia by coomplete surprise. After calming herself down, she replied sullenly, "If you miss me,

then why did you hang up onjust

now?"

"I was talking with my clients, so it wasn't convenient to pick up your call. But I'm now in the corridor, so | can

say whatever | want. Mrs. Hopper, | miss you."

Amelia responded in an icy tone, "If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up!"

"There's still something else."

"What is it?" Amelia swore that if he said another nonsense, she would hang up right away!

"Let's have lunch together?" he asked.

"No." Amelia was not letting him have his way.

"Why not?"

"I'm busy!" answered Amelia in a hurry.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to find tto eat. Listen, thirty minutes before noon, I'll pick you up

downstairs at your company. It's settled then. I'll hang up first."

Doo... Doo... Doo...

"D*mn it! He's one step ahead ofagain!" cursed Amelia deep down.

Amelia was so frustrated that she stomped her feet in anger.

But wait!

Did Patrick think she would accept whatever offer he made?

Humph!

If he wanted to wait downstairs, so let him wait! She brought the lunchbox Dr. Scarlett made anyway!

Just as Amelia was determined to stand Patrick up, her phone rang again.

Looking down and noticing it was from Kaiden, Amelia was elated!

He called her at the right tas she was just looking for him too!

"Hello, Mr. Wright."

The young man from the opposite end of the call went silent for a moment before bursting into hysterical

laughter. "Hahaha! Did | hear you wrong? Is this still Amelia? Since when did you becso polite?" Amelia's

face darkened from his insult. "Don't doubt it. I've always been this polite."

The laughter from the other side beceven more maniacal and uncontrollable.
