Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 792

"Alright then. I'll send everyone downstairs." Amelia did not force any of them to stay.

After sending them to their vehicle and closing the door thoughtfully for them. Amelia stood by the window and

waved her hand. "Be safe on your way back."

The vehicle drove away slowly from Amelia, they did not seem like in a hurry.

Amelia crouched as her smile slowly fade away and it was then replaced by exhaustion.

Looking up at the sign of Apex Construction Corporation on the top of the building, Amelia found that ever since

she took over the company, troubles and issues kept popping out. She wondered if her father had faced the

sissues as she did when he was in this position.

Amelia sighed, sometimes she really wanted to join venture with Patrick and let Apex Construction Corporation

rely solely on him, so she could just be a titular chairperson. But then she remembered Patrick's distant

attitude...

With another long sigh, she thought, "I'd better forget

it."

She then took the elevator back to her temporary office. Amelia had just opened the door when she smelled a

strong aroma of tea.

As she turned her eyes, she saw Audrey putting a cup of tea in front of the guest like a maid.

Amelia felt an ache in her heart as she smelled the aroma. That was the best tea she had, It was a gift given by

Howard when she visited the Hopper Mansion during Christmas!

Amelia had been reluctant to drink it because of its rarity and the amount that was given. Amelia had always

brought it along with her wherever she went. What she did not expect was when she finally decided to put it in

the office drawer, Audrey would have taken it out and serve it to sunimportant visitors!

What a reckless waste of a treasure!

But on the surface, Amelia still had to pretend that she did not care. After all, she could not say that Kaleb's gang

was a pig, could she?

That was right. Just as the head of the Environmental Protection Bureau left, Kaleb and his men had arrived. They

were holding their teacups and enjoying the best tea that she had save for herself!

"Wait a minute!"

Amelia saw that there was only a cup of tea left on the tea tray in the blink of an eye and Audrey intended to

hand it over to someone irrelevant!

Amelia rushed over and grabbed the teacup. Under everyone's gaze, she lowered his head and sipped the cup

but she did not drink the boiling hot tea. After all, she was afraid of being burnt by the boiling water. If she were

to pour such hot tea into her mouth, she would definitely suffer.

As she put down the teacup, Amelia deliberately acted emotionally in front of Kaleb and the others and said, "It's

so hot that | almost fell into heatstroke! Audrey, thank you for making tea but remember to make more next

time. Don't leave the other directors thirsty."

The director whose teacup was robbed by Amelia had a slightly gloomy face at first, but after he heard Amelia's

words, he felt that she did not really do it on purpose.

Therefore, he swallowed the sarcasm at the edge of his mouth and said instead, "President Ramsay, it doesn't

matter. I'm not thirsty."

Beside him, Andrea said in a hurry, "I'm sorry, I'm going to make another glass now!"

Amelia said in a voice that was even more urgent than hers, "Well, be fast then!"

However, her heart was bleeding. Why was Audrey being so responsible and caring, couldn't she just leave after

apologizing? My gosh... The director whose teacup had been taken away was even more embarrassed. He

immediately turned to Amelia and said, "Thanks a lot!" Amelia threw up a fake smile and said, "You're most

welcome..."

The next second, Kaleb's uncomfortable voice reached Amelia's ear. "President Ramsay, what's wrong with your

face?"

Amelia fell into awkward silence. She could not tell them that she had a conflict with a little girl because of

Patrick and ended up being in such an embarrassing state because of the pastel colors in the girl's bag, could

she?

No! No way!

No matter was it 'l had a conflict with a little girl' or 'being stained by pastel colors’, neither of them was a

glorious thing.

After thinking for a while, Amelia replied, "It's just skin allergies."

Kaleb and the others did not say anything.

Even Jonathan, who had always been calm was choked by the tea and kept coughing. Amelia oh Amelia, had you

ever seen someone whose

allergies would even affect their clothes?

Kaleb who had cback to his senses let out a dry laugh and said, "President Ramsay, | heard that the people

of the Environmental Protection Bureau have cto our company?" Amelia put his palms together and seemed

to be worshipping Kaleb. "Wow, Uncle Kaleb you're so well-informed!"

Kaleb smiled stiffly. "This matter was spread from the staff canteen and | happened to know about it."

Hearing this, Amelia could not help but felt disdainful. Kaleb was acting like a fake b*tch, if he did not keep an

eye on Amelia's activities, how could he appear right after the officers of the Environmental Protection Bureau

had just left?

She kept that thought with herself and did not show it on her face. "You're right. The officers of the

Environmental Protection Bureau had just came. They said that our restaurant had polluted the river by emitting

too much waste and food debris into the river. They asked us to compensate and cooperate with the

management to solve the issue."

"So that's how it is." This was the first tKaleb had heard of the full story. He immediately revealed a cautious

expression that was different from before.

Amelia observed Kaleb's expression and continued,

"And, they said that if we can't solve the issue, they would bring reporters over to expose the matter and use it

as a warning to other companies."

A hint of shock flashed across Kaleb's eyes. Then, he felt a faint sense of delight. He probably thought that he

had concealed these things very well but in reality, Amelia had taken note of them all. "Oh, by the way!"

All of a sudden Amelia raised her voice and pulled Kaleb's attention back. "What's wrong, President Ramsay?"

Seeing Kaleb and the others waiting patiently, Amelia said "The officers asked if we were willing to settle this

issue privately!"

Kaleb and his men exchanged glances with each other as if they were weighing the pros and cons of this action.

For a moment, the only sound heard in the office was the sipping of tea.

Amelia waited for a while and asked, "Uncle Kaleb, do you have any good suggestions for this?"

Kaleb replied with an "Err..." Of course, what he wanted was for Amelia to bear the consequences of not hurting

the benefits and profits of Apex Construction Corporation.

If the issue was solved privately, the officers can act like the river pollution was nothing but a mere

misunderstanding and Amelia would then get to

safety by paying an amount of money.

If they were to solve this issue according to the law, Amelia would need to make sure that everything would run

smooth and they would give full cooperation to the bureau. This meant that the officers from the bureau would

be constantly applying pressure on Amelia.

From Kaleb's point of view, everything that could pressurise Amelia was a great thing to him!

Kaleb who was always thinking of something bad then said righteously the moment, "President Ramsay, | don't

think it's good for both you or the company if it's private. My suggestion is to carry out formal trials. We should

do what we should do!"
