Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 873

Kaiden could not tell if he should feel angry or sympathetic towards Amelia who had completely believed his

words.

Under her puzzled look, he chuckled, "Goodluck." With that said, he turned around and escaped from the scene.

It would be wise for him to not interfere.

Oh no!

Amelia was left in an awkward position that she had no other choice but to fight this battle all on her own. It was

not possible for her to go after Kaiden when Sawyer was still here.

Just as she was searching an appropriate way to initiate the conversation between the two of them, she heard

Sawyer's irresistible voice saying, "Ms. Amelia, please take a seat." Amelia was stunned. Sawyer had already

bypassed her and sat on the leathered sofa.

Sweeping his glance, Simon and Savannah who were both curious on what was going on hurriedly looked away.

Simon lowered his head and said, "Sir, I'm going to bring another tea cup."

Without hesitation, he picked up the broken tea cup before he turned around and left.

Approaching Sawyer, Savannah lowered her voice and asked, "How about Abner?"

Sawyer replied faintly, "Yeah, he can leave now."

"Yes, sir." Receiving the order, Savannah reached out to hold Abner's hand. Before they left, she took a glance at

Amelia with her gaze intense. The corner of her mouth twitched unnoticeably as if she had something to say.

Eventually, Savannah left without a word as she knew that it was not an appropriate occasion for her to speak.

Amelia did not seem to notice this as she was still racking her brain to initiate the conversation.

She could not help feeling strange. After all, it was not like she had cunprepared. It was as if she lost all her

memory the moment when she stood right in front of Sawyer!

She sneaked a peek at Sawyer just to find out that he was staring at her too.

Unlike Amelia, Sawyer did not bother to hide the fact that he was watching her. Seeing that she glanced at him,

again he gestured her to sit down.

Lifting all her courage, Amelia walked over and sat down warily.

This tshe seemed to learn from lesson. She had purposely picked the seat which was furthest away from

Sawyer. She could only pray that her action would not disgust him again. Watching every move of her, Sawyer

could not help frowning. He wondered if he was in fact this scary.

Amelia had already begun her speech, "Mr. Quartley, I've only known two Quartleys in my life. It is such a

coincidence that | happen to know your father too. Oh, you have to forgivethat I have to call out his name

now. His name's Ryan. Mr. Ryan Quartley."

"As for him, I'm more than honored to receive a bottle of wine from his Dream collection as a gift from him. Not

only that, I'm fortunate enough to have one climbing experience with him at Mount Logan. Anyway, I'm probably

just an unimportant person to him. I'm afraid that he had never mentionedto you, had he?"

Sawyer was not move by her speech. In fact, he nodded expressionlessly and said, "My father hadn't mentioned

you tobefore."

The smile at the corner of her mouth faded. Amelia could feel her cheek burning in embarrassment.

Followingly, Sawyer added coldly, "And | have not contacted with my father for several years."

Amelia was stunned by this new information as if she had just struck by a lightning. Sawyer sounded as if Ryan

was a mere estranged father to him. If that was the case, then Amelia had made a wrong move to bring up Ryan

in front of Sawyer!

Squinting, Sawyer fired back the question, "So can | understand this as Ms. Amelia is close with my father?"

Amelia frowned. There was no right answer to this question.

To admit that they were close, it would be hard for her to gain Sawyer's trust if it was true that Sawyer and Ryan

had unresolved conflicts.

However, it would be going against her principle if she chose to deny this statement.

After deliberating, Amelia answered in determination, "I would say that | know Mr. Ryan quite well but I'm not

sure if the sgoes to him. Mr. Quartley, in fact I'm here today to ask a favor from you."

The corner of Sawyer's mouth twitched. Apparently, he had made it clear to her that he knew what she was up to

and that her trick was useless to him.

Amelia got the message that Sawyer tried to deliver. Hence, she decided to stop beating around the bush, "Mr.

Quartley, do you mind if | take a few minutes of yours?"

He swept a glance at her. Seeing her expression earnest, Sawyer shifted his posture but said nothing.

Amelia continued to say, "So, I'm the person in charge of one construction corporation. But we had since then

owed a large sum of debt to the bank as a result of an accident happened stago. However, we already

managed to get the development project of thpark building at Eastern district. This is in fact a

governmental project. The reason that | managed to secure this project is because of..." With her sentence yet to

be finished, Amelia took a glance at Sawyer sheepishly.

Sawyer finished the sentence for her, "Because of me."

Amelia continued flatteringly, "There's nothing | can hide from you, Mr. Quartley! Regarding this, first of all, |

would like to apologize to you for using your nwithout getting your consent beforehand. In fact, | was here

last twith the help of Kaiden with intention to ask for forgiveness from you. Unfortunately, you weren't here

that day."

The coldness in Sawyer's eyes seemed to fade a little as he said, "You helped my child."

After what had happened just a moment ago when she mentioned Ryan, Amelia had already learnt her lesson.

She dared not to take credit this time. She hurriedly denied, "No! Even if | wasn't there that day, the blood bag

supply would have arrived in the

hospital in a very short while."

Sawyer gave her meaningful look before he said with his voice irresistibly low, "Ms. Amelia, you don't have to

belittle what you've done. | understand very well the condition of my child. Had you not stood up and

volunteered to help, his condition could get so much complicated."

Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this tshe had not irritated him.

Followingly, Sawyer brought up the unfinished speech of hers on his own, "So, what do you want from me, Ms.

Amelia?"

Upon realizing that Sawyer had again brought up the planning project, Amelia hurriedly said, "So, I'm here to

propose that you can invest in Apex Construction Corporation without rectifying this mistake." Sawyer

commented faintly, "Your proposal is very bold."

Amelia said earnestly, "I believe that our company stands a chance to make lucrative profit! All we need is your

help. I'm sure that our company will prove you right in future!"

Sawyer sounded indifferent as he said, "I'm tired of listening to the sthing over and over again from others

as well. Speople took my money and put them on waste as if my money had no value at all." Amelia

muttered, "In that case, | can only say that you're not sharp in making investment decisions. How can you blame

others when you're the one who entrusted the wrong person?" Sawyer frowningly asked, "What did you just

say?"

"Nothing!" Amelia lifted her spirit and continued solemnly, "Mr. Quartley, I'm not good at sugarcoating my words.

However, | will prove to you in action that you won't regret in investing our company! | believe you will be

entitled to Apex Construction Corporation's profit sharing annually in the nearest future."

She was encouraged by his momentary silence. She convinced, "Of course, | know that you wouldn't even care

about the sum of the profit. But at least, givethe chance to prove to you that your investment will be

repaid!"

"Maybe you can picture our company as a handicapped person lying sick on the bed. With your investment, you

will be able to see him recovering from his condition gradually until he can finally stand up, or even better, walk

or run on his own.

Don't you think that this would be something that can make you feel worthwhile?"
