Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 144

"Firing Meggie can't solve the problem, I want to fire those top managers in the Human Resources Department who have causal attitudes towards work. Because the new employees they hired were all gossipy and could only reply on their family backgrounds.

"Who do you want to fire?" The secretary asked.

Rubbing the tissue into a ball and throwing it into the trash can at his feet, Patrick said slowly, "The deputy manager of the Human Resources Department." Firing the deputy manager could give the Human Resources Department a warning. It wouldn't effect the department nor make old employees unsatisfied. The secretary nodded, then glanced at the mouse in Patrick's hand and asked in confusion, "Mr. Hopper, isn't this mouse quite clean?"

Patrick replied casually, "Meggie touched it, so I wipe it."

The secretary was speechless.

Then, Patrick threw the mouse into the trash can and said to the secretary, "Forget it, send me a new one."

In the evening, in the Land of Fragrance.

Patrick walked into the living room and heard the sound of the cooker hood in the kitchen. He put down his briefcase and walked to the kitchen. Then he found that Amelia was preparing dinner. The dress she wore was still the one she put on before going to work in the morning, which outlined her slim waist, sexy bottom, and slender legs.

Hearing the footsteps, Amelia turned around naturally, then Patrick saw the wound on her knee.

His face darkened as he strode over and grabbed the egg-striking machine in her hand. He frowned and asked, "Why don't you use a band-aid?"

Amelia said calmly, "I'm not that seriously injured. Give me the egg-striking machine. I need to cook."

Her expression was a little indifferent. Patrick asked unhappily, "Are you angry with me?"

Amelia didn't say anything, but her expression and movements were indifferent.

Patrick held her in his arms and said, "Are you blaming me for causing you so much trouble?"

"No. I'm suffering from dysmenorrhea, so I'm a little depressed."

But in Patrick's eyes, her depressed expression was more like a silent protest.

He felt a little annoyed. He didn't deliberately cause trouble for her work. After knowing that she was tripped, he immediately took some measures to help her. Wasn't that enough? Patrick lifted her delicate chin and asked with a poker face, "You're lying to me."

There was a hint of complaint in the eyes of Amelia, "So what do you want from me?"

Hearing this, Patrick suddenly became silent.

Yeah, what did he want from her?

After marring Amelia, his life completely changed. No matter he treated Amelia well or badly, he felt uncomfortable.

He wanted to live a sweet life with Amelia, but he loved another woman in his heart, a woman that he might never forget in his life.

Patrick blinked his eyes which were filled with mixed emotions. Then he returned to normal and said, "Whether you are obedient or not, I can see you through at a glance. Don't try to fool me with a fake expression. Understand?"

Amelia's heart beat so fast. Patrick was more possessive than she thought.

Glancing at the egg-striking machine, Patrick asked with interest, "Mrs. Hopper, do you know how to make omelette rice?"

Amelia answered quickly, "It's easy to cook. Do you want to eat it?"

"Yeah, I want to eat." Patrick said blandly. When he thought that Sissi was good at making omelette rice, he suddenly missed her.

Amelia nodded and took the egg-striking machine from his hand, "I'll cook it."

During the meal, seeing that Patrick liked eating omelette rice so much, Amelia laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you like eating this." "What's wrong?" Patrick's voice raised. He felt as if Amelia was doubting why he liked Sissi.

Amelia only mentioned it unintentionally and did not know what Patrick was thinking. When she saw that Patrick was unhappy, she said in a hurry, "You disliked the ordinary dishes I ordered in the restaurant yesterday. But you like eating omelette rice so much. Is it too delicious?"

Patrick said reflexively, "It's not as delicious as the one she made."

Amelia asked, "Who?"

Patrick realized that he had said something wrong, and he said with guilty eyes, "I mean, it's not as delicious as the one Auntie Li made."

"Really?" Amelia was a little doubtful.

Because Cynthia was fired, there was a nanny called Anntie Li who came to their house to clean up and cook every weekend. But did Auntie Li make omelette rice for Patrick?

Amelia couldn't remember it.

A week later.

During this period of time, Amelia's life in Roxxon turned to peaceful again. It seemed that it was just her illusion that someone tripped her that day.

She paid attention to what people in the company were discussing about these days. It was said that Patrick liked Meggie so much recently. Meggie stayed in the president's office all day and even ate on the same desk with Patrick.

Hearing this, Amelia was both relieved and shocked because of Patrick's means to deal with women.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for Meggie. Obviously, she did not know that the one who tripped her was Meggie!

During the break, Amelia stopped working and went to make tea in the tea room.

When she stood in front of the water fountain to pour water, a group of women quietly gathered around her. They all looked unfriendly as if they wanted to fight with Amelia. Amelia thought that they were colleagues waiting in line for water, so she was about to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, one of them grabbed her arm and stopped her from leaving. Amelia was shocked and looked up. She didn't know the girl who grabbed her arm. It was not until she glanced at her work card that she knew the girl was Meggie. There were three girls who accompanied Meggie, all of whom were from the Public Relations Department. They were beautiful, but their faces were all malicious at the moment. Amelia looked at them quietly, waiting for them to explain their intentions.

"Are you the woman who was abandoned by Mr. Hopper?" Before Meggie could speak, the big-eyed girl beside her spoke first.

Amelia didn't agree with the word "abandoned". She said, "Mr. Hopper is just my leader in the company. We have no other relationship and he didn't abandon me.

Meggie, who was holding Amelia's arm, said hypocritically, "Amelia, I know you're replaceing an excuse deliberately. In fact, I came to apologize to you. Now I've completely replaced you. I really feel sorry for you." Amelia glanced at the blue veins on the back of Meggie's hand and said with a faint smile, "Is this how you apologize to me?"

"Oh! Look at what I've done!" Meggie pretended to be surprised and quickly loosened her hand. But there was a red mark on Amelia's wrist because she pinched Amelia with great strength.
