Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 370

Then the cell phone in her pocket rang. Amelia put it through without looking at it and placed the phone between her shoulder and ear. "Hello, this is Amelia. Who is that?" "Amelia, do you know what time is it? Why don't you go home yet?"

"Florence? I'm busy with a report in the company now. I'm afraid I won't be back so soon."

"Do you remember what day today is?"

"I know it's Patrick's birthday today. Don't worry. I'll be home before midnight."

With that, instead of waiting for Florence's reply, Amelia took away the phone and put it next to the laptop before she continued to do her job.

At the Land of Fragrance.

"Midnight..." Florence had a hunch that something bad was about to happen when hearing

Amelia's answer.

The next second, Patrick, who was standing behind her, asked, "What did she say to you?"

Florence turned around and said, "She's so busy with work that she may not be able to come back

soon. Patrick, why don't we have dinner first? I'm hungry."

Patrick's face turned cold. Amelia had spent a lot of time with Florence, so even if Patrick didn't make it clear, Amelia must know that today was his birthday. Why didn't she go home to celebrate his birthday instead of working godd*mn overtime?

Seeing that Patrick was sullen, Florence said, "Patrick, why don't you go to the company to stay with her? If Amelia was going to work until late at night, she might be in danger if she's alone."

"Stay with her?" Patrick's gorgeous eyes sparkled with anger. "Have you misunderstood something, huh?"

"I know you can't be without her..."

In front of Patrick's impetuous face, Florence corrected herself tactfully. "Oh no, it's Amelia who can't be without you. She almost cried on the phone when she talked to me. She said that she was afraid of meeting something horrible when walking on the dark streets."

Patrick snorted, but it was obvious that he had been swayed.

Florence continued, "If I were you, I'd wish I could immediately appear in front of her. What a great chance it is to win over the beauty's heart. Besides, you're sacrificing your birthday celebration to be with her. She's gonna be very moved."

It sounded like it was a good idea. Reluctant to admit that he was tempted, Patrick said coolly, "Since she's so scared, I guess I'll have to go out of my way to stay with her." Seeing the eager figure, Florence snickered with her hand covering her mouth. She believed that soon she would be able to hold a niece or nephew in her arms.

At Roxxon Corporation.

Amelia rubbed her eyes to relieve the discomfort caused by staring at the computer for too long. When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one left in the sales department, which was so depressing. She looked down at the sales report, which was almost done. When Amelia was trying to exert great effort to finish it, some footsteps suddenly came from the door. She turned to the direction and found the visitor turned out to be-

"Hobart!"

There was a cunning smile on Hobart's handsome face. "Uh-huh, you have finished the sales report I asked you to make, haven't you?"

Amelia looked a little embarrassed. "Ah... It's almost finished."

After enjoying her embarrassment, Hobart grabbed a chair in front of him and dropped on it. "Alright, you can continue. I'll be waiting here."

It was the first time for Amelia to be cornered by the boss of their partner company personally. She asked, feeling great pressure, "Isn't your company holding an annual meeting?"

Hobart narrowed his eyes. "I have to get the sales report of the past few months first so that the annual meeting can be carried out in a better way. Otherwise, what do you expect us to discuss?" Amelia gave him a soft look and said, "I didn't prevent you from holding the annual meeting, did I?"

"What do you think?" Hobart bluffed, without showing whether it was true.

Amelia calmed herself down and said, "I will try my best to finish the report as soon as possible. Please wait a moment!"

She returned to her desk and missed Hobart's smiling eyes as she buried herself in her hard work.

"Sizzle..."

Just when Amelia had finished the report and was about to improve the forms, the lightbulbs on the ceiling suddenly gave a strange noise with flickering light as if it were haunted.

"What's going on?" Just as Amelia was puzzled, the light above her went out together, and the entire sales department fell into darkness immediately.

The computer screen was buzzing before it went dark. Amelia almost had a breakdown at that. She had just sorted out the sales report but had not saved it yet!

"It seems like that the electricity is out." Hobart's voice drifted into her ears several meters away.

Amelia collapsed in the chair and said disappointedly, "Oh, gosh. Is this a trick?"

Noises sounded as Hobart dragged the chair, and then he said, "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Amelia mumbled. The sudden disappearance of hard work would be a blow to everyone.

"I'm sending you home, or do you want to come to my place to have fun?" His last two words were suggestive.

"No, thanks. I have a car myself." With that, Amelia stood up. When she turned around, she accidentally stumbled over a trash can under the desk. She cried out and was about to fall to somewhere she couldn't see clearly.

"Amelia!" Under such an urgent situation, with his outstanding hearing and quick

response, Hobart stepped forward to grab Amelia's arm and bring her to him. As a result, the two of them fell together.

"Sh*t, it hurts so much!" Amelia complained, covering her head that had been hit.

"Miss Amelia, I was the one hit by you, alright? You're so heavy! You're killing me!" Hobart replied in a voice that was even weaker than hers.

Amelia was at a loss for words. Her butt had accidentally landed on Hobart's chest. The gesture was so embarrassing. "You came to me on your own. You deserve it!"

"Hey, you brat. I saved your ass out of kindness, but you're blaming me instead?"

That being said, with the beautiful lady on him, Hobart was not in a hurry to get up from

Amelia. Instead, he just lay there arguing with her.

Amelia said in return, "Huh, who knows if it's because of you that the company's powers off? You know, I've been working in Roxxon for so long, and this is the first time I've encountered a power-off!"

She did not know if she was mistaken, but she had a feeling that Hobart was silent for a much longer time than usual after what she had said.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me my guessing is correct." Amelia asked.

After a long stretch, Hobart said, "I didn't speak because you're sitting on me! Sh*t, can't you get up from me as soon as possible? If you keep doing that, I'm dying from suffocating."

"Oh, alright then." Amelia picked a direction and climbed up from Hobart's body in the dark. Then, she shrieked and fell back into Hobart's embrace. "Ho... Hobart, it seems like something has touched my calf. Is that..."
