Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 165

Mr. Hopper's "new lover" bullied the "old employee". If Meggie only bullied Amelia, it would not be a big deal.

However, Meggie was so conceited that she opposed the whole top managers of the company, so her consequence was terrible.

Although Patrick doted on Meggie on purpose, it was because of her own fault that she was fired.

"What are you going to do?" Looking at Amelia's disheveled clothes, Hobart thought that it would be too seductive for her to go out to work like this.

Amelia looked down at herself and said with embarrassment, "Please send me home."

"No problem." Even if Amelia did not say that, Hobart would send her home.

On the way, Amelia covered the bruise at the corner of her mouth with a concealer and asked casually, "Why did you go to Roxxon?"

"Well, I have some business to deal with."

There was a hint of regret in Amelia's eyes, "I'm so sorry to waste your time."

Hobart sighed, "Don't say that. It's me who should apologize to you."

Amelia didn't understand what he meant.

"My younger sister..." Hobart said with guilt and shame, "I apologize on her behalf for wronging you at the birthday party."

Amelia blinked her eyes and asked in surprise, "Did Maryanne tell you the truth?"

Hobart said helplessly, "I pressured her, so she spilled the beans. She wronged you because she was jealous of the relationship between you and Patrick."

Amelia felt strange, "By the way, since Maryanne is so jealous and stubborn, why hasn't she been pestering Patrick these days?"

Hobart told Amelia everything, "Maryanne stole the brooch from the safety box. After my parents knew about it, they were so angry, and she was grounded for four months. They also froze all her bank cards. She didn't have time and energy to pester Patrick. That's good. Since she can't see Patrick, she will stop thinking about him."

Hearing that Maryanne had been given a lesson, Amelia's anger towards her cooled down a lot.

"My parents want to invite you to our family when you're free. They want to apologize to you personally." Hobart said his main purpose of going to Roxxon Corporation.

"No!" Amelia waved her hand with trepidation and said, "How dare I accept their apology?"

Hobart said firmly, "The reason why my parents punished Maryanne so severely is mainly because that she ruined your reputation. Just promise me. Otherwise, they will definitely lecture Maryanne about this matter for the rest of their lives."

Amelia felt that it would be hypocritical if she continued to refuse, "Well, okay."

Hearing what she said, Hobart asked in a good mood, "Then... Can you come tomorrow afternoon? It's Saturday."

"Okay." After a pause, Amelia said cautiously, "Give me the address, and I'll go by myself."

Hobart asked with a faint smile, "Are you afraid that Patrick will misunderstand our relationship?"

'Er!" Amelia said in a hurry. These men around her were so shrewd. She really didn't know whether it was a good thing or not.

Seeing that Amelia did not deny it, Hobart was inexplicably a little angry, "Although it's improper for me so say this, I still want to say that I don't think Patrick treats you well. When you were wronged at the birthday party, as the host, he treated you coldly and allowed you to be taken away by the police. But the man called Milton behaved like a real man..."

Amelia smiled and said, "At first, I also felt that it was very hateful that Patrick didn't speak for me, but it turned out that I was wrong. He helped me deal with everything behind my back. He did a lot for me but never told me. I learned it later from others."

Hobart shut his mouth and did not speak anymore.

Amelia didn't know whether her explanation had convinced Hobart or not. Thinking about it like this, Patrick was not too bad. At least he had helped her a lot.

But after being touched by Patrick for a moment, she had a quarrel with him again.

While Amelia was lost in thought, Hobart suddenly reminded her, "Your phone is ringing."

"Oh! Okay." After coming back to earth, Amelia took out her mobile phone from the leather bag and had a look. The person who was calling her was actually Patrick! She thought that he would never take the initiative to contact her after having a quarrel last night.

She answered the phone and said with a good attitude, "Mr. Hopper."

To her surprise, Patrick roared at her, "Where did you go? Paisley said that she had rung the doorbell for a long time, but you didn't open the door!"

Amelia bit her lip and said, "I am... with a friend..."

Patrick's voice became more and more irritable, "Didn't I ask you to rest at home?"

Amelia said haltingly, "I was bored at home, so I went to the company..."

"Are you in the company or with your friend?" Amelia didn't know how to lie at all, so Patrick easily caught the flaw in her words.

Amelia said obediently, "Well, I'll go home right now..."

Patrick was still angry. He said unhappily, "Don't change the topic! Who are you staying with now?"

Amelia argued, "It's Hobart. Thanks to him..."

Patrick interrupted her impatiently, "I grant you a leave to heal your injury, not to have a date! It seems that you're really a busy bee."

Amelia held the phone tightly, "I didn't!" "All right, I'm busy. I gotta go!" After hanging up the phone, Patrick turned around and kicked open the door of the conference room!

Seeing that Patrick's gloomy face, those top managers were more cautious while reporting work, for fear of making Patrick unhappy.

It happened to be the turn of manager Li of the sales department to make monthly summary.

Sitting on his seat, Patrick listened to Manager Li's report, but he thought of Amelia unconsciously.

In his opinion, the sales department was closely related to Amelia. So his eyes were unhappy when he looked at Manager Li.

Manager Li read straight from the document and felt that Patrick was staring at him. Before he could read the last line, Patrick shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Manager Li quickly stopped and asked, "Mr. Hopper, what's wrong?"

Patrick narrowed his eyes, "Are people in your department all good-for- nothings? How can the sales of 'The Water of Life' be so much less than we expected?"

Manager was surprised, "Mr. Hopper, this perfume was just developed by the Technology Department two months ago. It hasn't been in the market for long and we haven't gotten much feedback from customers. I think there's a reason for this."

Hearing Manager Li's words, the manager of the Technology Department got unhappy immediately, "Do you mean that the perfume we developed is not favored by customers? I think that there's something wrong with your advertising campaign and sales channel."
