Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 410

Amelia opened the grille, took a few steps forward, and tossed the package into the waste container in the corner. Having been with Patrick for so long, Amelia was as arbitrary as him when dealing with things she disliked. Clapping her hands, she returned to the house with no guilt at all and did what she should until Patrick came home.

"Mr. Hopper."

"Mrs. Hopper, where is grandma?"

"She's sleeping upstairs."

After greeting each other, Amelia found that Patrick was still staring at her. She couldn't help but replace it funny. "Is there anything strange on my face? Why are you watching me like that?"

Patrick subconsciously loosened his tie and smoothened his breathing before he asked, "You signed a package for me this afternoon, didn't you?"

"Yeah. Did the delivery guy call or send you a message?" "He called me." Amelia held her cheek with her palm and narrowed her eyes lazily. "Oh, he does have professional ethics."

Patrick was a little irritated by her beating around the bush. "Where's the package? Where did you put it?"

He sounded too eager. The delivery guy must have told him who the sender was. Good. So she didn't have to speak that unpleasant name!

Amelia, who had the gut to take the blame for what she had done, said bluntly, "I have already thrown it into the waste container at the corner of the door, just like what you have done to mine."

No sooner had Amelia finished her words did she see Patrick rushing out like a bullet.

His eagerness hurt her feelings. She sneered, got up, and followed him to the door.

Patrick opened the lid of the recycler violently and looked down, only to replace that all the garbage inside had been cleaned up.

Amelia's red lips curled as she praised inwardly the cleaners' efficiency.

But she also knew that she was going to face Patrick's fury.

Patrick slowly put the lid back and said vaguely under the gaze of Amelia, "That's not so bad..."

"That's not so bad? What's not so bad?" wondered Amelia.

Amelia looked at him, bewildered.

After saying that, Patrick walked past Amelia without even any reprimand.

Shocked, Amelia almost suspected that this was not the Patrick she knew.

But the truth was different.

Patrick was sobered by the cold air as he ran out. He told himself that if he found the package in the container, Sissi would be destined to be in his life. But if he was too late and couldn't replace anything there, he and Sissi would never have a chance again.

Instead of blaming Amelia, he should thank her for choosing him.

The next day. In Roxxon Corporation.

"Good morning, everyone!"

Seeing Amelia's lively figure at the department, her colleagues were stunned for an instant before asking, "Amelia, did you take such a long leave to travel around the world?"

Amelia waved her hand at them and complained, "I wish! The truth is that I accidentally stepped on broken glass on the road and could only rest at home for a long time."

"Ah! Amelia, are you all right now?" Everyone hurried to ask.

Amelia nodded, indicating that she was fine, and asked, "By the way, have I missed any big news when I was absent?"

Doris said mysteriously, "You have no idea, Amelia. Recently, everyone in the company has been wondering if Mr. Hopper is not himself!"

"Not himself?" Amelia frowned.

Doris took Amelia to the side to talk alone, "Yes. He does seem to be different. Mr. Hopper used to be so good at doing business. But guess what? Since the beginning of last month, he bought a lot of drinks and offered a half-price promotion! The promotion has been going on for more than a month and has not ended yet. I guess civilians in Northville are all having our drinks!"

Amelia said thoughtfully at that, "Doris, send me all the sales reports of our drinks in the past one and a half months. I want them now!"

"No problem!" Knowing that Amelia was a real workaholic, Doris did not waste any time and went straight to her desk to sort out the files Amelia needed.

After receiving the recent sales reports of drinks from Doris, Amelia started to check one by one. Finally, she was sure that apart from the Dream, all the famous and less famous brands were listed on the map. Unfortunately... she just couldn't replace the Dream. It was obvious who Patrick was after!

Noting the solemn look on Amelia's face, Doris asked directly, "Amelia, are these sales reports reflecting any economic principles? Would you teach me?"

Amelia couldn't help but curled her lips. It was natural that Doris couldn't figure out the mystery in the reports because most people wouldn't think about it the way Amelia did!

If Amelia hadn't heard the conversation between the two senior managers in the kitchen and therefore warned Ryan, Patrick's move would have broken Ryan's business.

At the same time, there was an uproar at Patrick's office.

Patrick reached out to grab the collar of a senior manager and dragged him closer before asking with a livid face, "What did you say? Say that loudly again!"

The manager swallowed and said despondently, "Mr. Quartley didn't actually shut down his factories. In fact, he has rented them temporarily to other factories last month, which were typically small in size and outdated in equipment. And since we have taken everything that came to us recently, as long as the drinks are qualified, we bought them all regardless of the sizes of their factories. So..."

His voice grew quieter as he went to the last part, for his neck was almost broken by Patrick!

Patrick went on in a piercingly cold voice. "So, maybe some drinks sold in our departments are produced by Ryan's factories and employees. Roxxon has indirectly paid for Ryan!"

What Patrick wanted was to take down Ryan's company and bleed him dry instead of funding him like what he was doing now!

Grabbing the collar of his senior manager, Patrick questioned, "How long has it been since Ryan came up with such a unique move?"

The manager answered with uncertainty, "Probably... from the day he closed his factories!"

Patrick's eyes were filled with rage and darkness. "Didn't I ask you to pay attention to everything that happened in his company? Yet you come here to tell me the truth one and a half months later!"
