Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 151

Meggie's father was full of anger, but he had been in the world of work for many years, so he was calmer than Meggie, "Please let me know when Mr. Hopper is free." After her father hung up the phone, Meggie asked about it in a hurry.

Her father patted her head gently and said dotingly, "Patrick has no time now. I may only see him in the afternoon. Don't you have an appointment with your friend to go shopping? Go ahead, leave it to me." Meggie puckered her mouth, held his hand and acted like a spoiled child, "Dad, it's all depends on you whether I can work here or not."

Her father laughed. He never broke his promise to Meggie.

However, he waited for Patrick from the morning to the evening. He lost his patience and gradually felt uneasy.

Before getting off work, he finally received a call from Patrick's secretary and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away. Please wait for a moment." Perhaps even he himself didn't notice that his tone was very respectful at the moment, and he was no more arrogant and confident.

On the sofa, Meggie's father asked in a euphemistic way, "Mr. Hopper, may I ask if there is any

misunderstanding between you and Meg?"

Patrick smiled and said with a kind expression, "There is no misunderstanding between us. I just feel that she is not capable enough for the job."

"You can transfer Meg to other departments!" Meggie's father said naturally. He was one of Howard's right-hand men when Howard was in charge of the company. Strictly speaking, Patrick had to call him uncle respectfully.

Patrick thought for a while, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

After a while, he shook his head with some regret, "I'm afraid that's not possible. All the leaders of all departments don't like Meggie. If Meggie works in their departments, I'm afraid that she will be wronged." Meggie's father understood Patrick's implication. But he knew that what Patrick said was reasonable.

It was him who had spoiled a disrespectful daughter and should apologize to Patrick.

Thinking of this, he felt ashamed, "Meg is willful, but it's understandable. You've been in a close relationship with her and doted on her so much that everyone knows about it. She is so proud that she forgets her duty."

Patrick said leisurely, "In fact, I have no choice but to fire Meggie. I have always treated her as my younger sister, but all the top managers banded together to protest..." Meggie's father had nothing to say.

He could only blame Meggie for being too naive and stupid. Patrick completely denied their ambiguous relationship by calling Meggie his "younger sister".

What's more, Patrick said that he fired Meggie because all the top managers banded together to protest. He couldn't replace everyone of them to make trouble out of nothing.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Hopper, it seems that Meggie is really not suitable to stay in Roxxon. I will persuade her to replace another job."

After Meggie's father left with grievance, the smile on Patrick's face disappeared in an instant.

He had said that even if Meggie didn't trip up Amelia, he would fire her, too. Because she was willful and arrogant.

It was 11 o'clock at night in the Land of Fragrance.

Hearing the door was opened, Amelia suddenly woke up in bed.

"Who is it?" She shouted at the darkness.

Patrick stood at the door and asked blandly, "Do I wake you up?"

It turned out to be Patrick.

Amelia reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. She looked at him and said, "No, I'm not sleepy at all."

She hadn't slept for a whole day and a whole night, but she couldn't fall asleep at all. Even Amelia herself didn't know why.

Noticing that Patrick was wearing a shirt and a pair of trousers, Amelia was confused and asked, "Why didn't you change your pajamas?"

Patrick said calmly, "I've agreed with Cynthia's father that we will look after Cynthia in the hospital in turns."

Hearing this, Amelia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Patrick's extremely concerned attitude towards Cynthia surprised her.

In fact, with his wealth, he could have hired five or even ten nursemaids to take care of Cynthia in turns, but he would rather sacrifice his sleeping time to take care of Cynthia.

Amelia told herself that Cynthia was Patrick's lifesaver. What's more, being unable to get pregnant for the rest of her life was a great blow for a woman, so it was understandable that Patrick pitied Cynthia. But she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, she even didn't want Patrick to look after Cynthia.

Amelia suppressed this improper thought and smiled magnanimously, "So are you here to tell me that you'll go out now?"

Looking at the magnanimous smile on Amelia's face, Patrick was dissatisfied for no reason. Should he be angry because of her indifference or be grateful for her unconditionally trust in him?

"I'm in no hurry. There's still some time left before midnight." He said as he approached her bed step by step.

Amelia consciously moved a little bit and made room for him.

Patrick was stunned for a moment because of her sweet behavior.

"Do you need me to set the alarm clock for you?" She asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"What time?"

"2 o'clock."

Amelia picked up the phone and set the alarm clock. The she turned around and said to him, "Good night." The bed was very large. Although it was two-person bed, it was big enough to accommodate five people. She lay down but kept a distance from him on bed.

Seeing this, Patrick got a little annoyed. He reached out his arms and held her in his arms.

There was a pleasant smell of bath lotion on her body, which made his restless heart gradually calm down. Amelia asked in a stiff voice, "What are you doing?"

"I'm afraid that you'll be scared, so I hold you in my arms." Patrick found an excuse for his movements. Amelia was speechless.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night.

As soon as the alarm clock rang, Patrick turned over and got out of bed. He turned off the alarm clock, gently closed the door and left.

The next second, Amelia's body trembled. She couldn't fall asleep again without Patrick's warm body.

In the next two nights, Patrick and Cynthia's father took it in turns to look after Cynthia. Patrick went to the hospital in the middle of the night and returned home at around six o'clock in the morning. Looking at Patrick's handsome but haggard face, Amelia was distressed.

"Does Cynthia wake up?" That day, Amelia prepared a hearty breakfast and waited for Patrick to come back.

Patrick swallowed a mouthful of oatmeal and said with his head lowered, "She lost too much blood and has been in a coma."

Amelia didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Are you going to look after Cynthia tonight?"

Patrick said straightforwardly, "Her father is old. Elton has a leg disease and he is unreliable. I have to look after her."

Amelia thought for a moment and asked, "Can't you hire a nursemaid? I think you're too tired..."

Before she could finish her words, Patrick interrupted her harshly, "Amelia, do you have any conscience?"
