Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) -
Chapter 344
The secretary said, "Yes, the department has been complaining about the lack of staff."
Patrick said obnoxiously, "Right on time, let Amelia go to the warehouse to move the goods. She is not allowed to rest until she has finished moving 50 boxes today!"
The secretary was stunned. "Fifty boxes? 20 lbs for each box, and fifty boxes for 1000 lbs. Mr. Hopper, even a beefy man can't finish this workload within a day, let alone a skinny woman!" Patrick gave her a cold look as if he was blaming her for meddling in other people's business.
The secretary suppressed her sympathy for Amelia and said, "Yes, I will inform Madam Amelia Ramsay."
"You may leave." Patrick knew what his secretary was thinking. But the more he understood, the more dissatisfied he felt. Why should everyone around him care for Amelia? She didn't deserve it! At the sales department.
When Amelia finished her vacation and came back to work, the department had a great welcome. Before Amelia had said hello to them, she heard a public phone ringing at her desk. She turned around, picked up the phone, and said "hello".
"Madam Amelia Ramsay, it's me."
"Miss secretary?" "I'll make it short. The staff of the supermarket is not enough due to the upcoming Black Friday. The superior has decided to send you to the warehouse to move goods. The workload is to finish 50 boxes before you can get off work and rest."
Amelia asked uncertainly, "Is it the whole sales department to move the goods together? Or just me?"
The secretary couldn't bear to say, "Just you."
Amelia frowned. "The superior you mentioned should not be Mr. Hopper, right?"
The secretary hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything. She was in dilemma and didn't dare to pass the word around lest she ruined the relationship between her boss and Madam Amelia Ramsay. Hearing the secretary hesitating, Amelia understood. She said slowly, "Tell Patrick that I promise to complete the task."
The secretary's eyes were full of horror, Madam Amelia Ramsay even directly called Mr. Hopper's name, which seemed that she was really angry.
Not long after the secretary hung up the phone, the phone rang again. She picked it up and heard Patrick asking in a low, hoarse voice, "Have you finished the matter?" "Well, I have." "What did she say?"
"She promised to complete the task."
Patrick paused before asking, "That's all?" The secretary gave a positive answer.
Patrick, who was in the office, slapped the office table angrily and said in a rough voice, "Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up!"
Amelia was really 'obedient' as she did whatever he asked her to do!
However, only he knew how infuriating her true nature was!
He deliberately assigned an impossible task for her, which was to wait for her to come to the office to argue with him. But not only did she not come, but she also promised to complete the task. Wasn't she deliberately provoking him?
Alright! He would wait for her to complete the task today!
At the department store of Roxxon.
When Amelia came out of the company, at first glance, it was the supermarket owned by Roxxon.
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw the size of the boxes in the warehouse full of goods.
"Madam Amelia Ramsay, All these goods are very heavy, can you move them?"
Seeing Amelia's thin figure, the warehouse administrator thought that the task was not suitable for her at all.
"I'll give it a try." Amelia stroked her sleeve, her injured right hand still hurt vaguely when she moved, she decided to move the goods with her left hand mainly and her right hand to assist, so there should not be a big problem.
The administrator said sympathetically, "If you're tired, rest more, we're here." "I'm good." Amelia smiled, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
The administrator suddenly had a bright idea and jokingly said, "If we have more beauties like you in our position, we will have more impetus to work!"
Another warehouse staff ridiculed him. "Come on. Do you think that a beautiful woman is willing to do such a tiring and dirty work?"
The administrator asked unbelievingly, "How come Madam Amelia Ramsay is willing to do it?"
The staff glanced at Amelia and asked strangely, "Yes, aren't you from the sales department? How could you be sent here?"
Amelia, who was tidying up the goods in the boxes, fell silent.
Seeing this, the administrator ordered the staff who was asking questions, "Shut up! Get to work!"
Time passed by gradually.
Amelia has lost count of the number of times she has been in and out of the warehouse. After once again putting the items for sale on the appropriate shelves, she breathed lightly and used her fingers to unbutton the first button on her collar to cool off. It was winter now, but the heating was on in the department store, plus she was busy carrying the goods, her body was already sweating, and it was sticky and uncomfortable.
After resting for a few seconds, Amelia squatted down and picked up several packages of imported snacks at her feet, as they were placed at the top of the shelf, and she stretched her arms to put the snacks in her arms one by one.
After everything was done, she felt a tearing sensation from her elbow the moment she dropped her hand. She was in so much pain that she bent down and hugged her right hand!
"What's up with you!" One of her colleagues accidentally saw this scene and hurriedly ran over to show concern.
Amelia really wanted to die of pain for a second so that she wouldn't have to suffer it anymore. But she quickly adjusted herself, looked at her colleague with her slightly teary eyes. "I'm fine, thank you!" Hearing Amelia's words, the colleague was not in a good position to say anything. He nodded and turned around to go to work.
After returning to the warehouse, Amelia asked the administrator, "Hi, how many boxes have I moved out? I forgot to count..." The administrator flipped through the logbook in his hand and replied, "There were a total of five boxes in the morning."
After a pause, he smiled at Amelia and said, "You've done a great job. How about we continue after lunch?"
Only five boxes? But there were 50 boxes of tasks assigned to her by Patrick. She didn't have much time, she'd better kept working!
Then Amelia said, "You can go for lunch. I have a lot of works today."
But the administrator said, "How can we do that?
How can you finish the rest of our work if you don't have lunch? Let's go..."
As he spoke, he reached his hand and tried to give Amelia a gentle push.
At this moment, the sound "Be careful!" filled their ears. When they came to their senses, they saw a warehouse shelf, which was around 10 feet high, fall straight in their direction!
"Administrator!"
"Madam Amelia Ramsay!"
In the president's office.
"Mr. Hopper!" The secretary rushed in a hurry and whispered to Patrick, who was socializing with his client, with a gloomy face.
Patrick frowned and said with displeasure, "You don't know the rule? Why didn't knock on the door before you came in?"
