Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) -
Chapter 420
Amelia offered a compromise. "How about... we call Mr. Hopper and ask for his opinion? After all, he is now a member of our party."
Ms. Reed nodded. "Okay, as long as you are not afraid of getting frostbite by Mr. Hopper's coldness."
Afraid of getting frostbite by just making a phone call? It looked like Ms. Reed had never seen Patrick got angry.
Sneering inwardly, Amelia took out her mobile phone from her pocket and rolled to "Patrick Hopper". Before the phone was put through, Ms. Reed said thoughtfully, "You actually have Mr. Hopper's personal number? And it was Patrick Hopper instead of Mr. Hopper. It seems that you are quite familiar with each other?"
Amelia's fingertips trembled. She quickly raised her index finger to her lips and said, "Shh, it goes through."
Ms. Reed curled her lips, dropping the topic.
"Well? Didn't you just leave? Why call me so soon? You miss me?" As soon as he picked it up, Patrick said flirtatiously.
Amelia glanced at Ms. Reed nervously, for fear of
being overheard.
Fortunately, her phone had been bought recently and was useful enough not to give away Patrick's flirtation.
She suggested, "Mr. Hopper, I'm with Ms. Reed now!"
Patrick cooled his voice down quickly and said, "Oh, I wonder if you and Ms. Reed have settled the plan."
"Mr. Hopper, you have two choices. One is to dine, drink and listen to music at the garden restaurant of Sheraton Hotel, and the other is to celebrate at karaoke. Which one do you prefer?"
Patrick asked slowly, "You proposed the karaoke one, didn't you?"
Amelia widened her eyes. "How did you know?"
"Well, that's all you've got," Patrick commented bluntly.
Amelia almost wanted to hang up the phone and leave Ms. Reed and him alone.
Patrick went on soon, "The most important is the unity of the company. There is no need to argue about whereto go. Tell Ms. Reed that we'll have dinner at the garden restaurant before heading to the karaoke. No wonder Patrick was popular among women. It turned out that he had excellent social skills.
Amelia pondered with mixed feelings and replied, "I will. Goodbye, Mr. Hopper!"
After the call, in the face of Ms. Reed's expecting gaze, Amelia asked, "Mr. Hopper says that we go to the garden restaurant for dinner first..."
Before she could finish her words, Ms. Reed interrupted proudly, "You see? I knew it. Mr. Hopper does prefer my proposal. Huh... He has good taste!"
Amelia rolled her eyes secretly before continuing, "But Mr. Hopper also says that we are going to enjoy the karaoke after dinner."
After a short surprise, Ms. Reed insisted, "Oh... Maybe Mr. Hopper agreed that out of sympathy because he was afraid of hurting you and the sales department's dignities." "Alright, you win! I gonna go."
Amelia knew it now. Ms. Reed was a competitive woman. What was the point of keeping talking to her? If she did, they might have a fight!"
Before Amelia left, Ms. Reed reminded her, "Remember to gather at the downstairs of the company building after work. Also, remember to bring enough money yourself."
"Got it!" Amelia waved her hand and hurried off.
At the sales department.
Amelia told everyone how she had drawn lots with the PR manager and reached the final decision. After that, Doris said indignantly, "The PR is so disappointing. They are the ones who proposed to have dinner together, yet they have the audacity to ask us to pay for it ourselves. How stingy! If we just go to the karaoke, we would certainly pay for them."
Lily shook her head, commenting inwardly that Doris was still too young. "There is no free lunch. The PR is not the sales department. We are two branches of the company and not very close in the first place. Well, since Mr. Hopper has made the decision, let's make it up with them for one night. I will pay for tonight's meals."
"No! Lily, you shouldn't do it! It's not that I can't afford a meal! I was just mocking Ms. Reed."
According to Doris's personality, she took advantage of others, but she never did so to her folks.
Others felt it inappropriate as well. In the end, in the face of the group's protest, Lily made a joke under pressure, "I know that you have a 5% more bonus this year, so everyone is rich. Fine! Maybe you should buy me a meal?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Amelia looked at them with a smile. It was not only her luck, but also her blessing to work with so many lovely colleagues in such a big family.
At dusk.
When Amelia and her coworkers appeared downstairs at the company building, they were still amazed by the PR, though they had prepared themselves.
No wonder it was the most attractive and controversial department in the company. Every man and woman in the PR was stunning, not to mention that so many of them had gathered here together. They were killing!
When a young man with orange hair saw Amelia, he licked his lower lip and asked his colleague, "Do you think the woman standing in the middle of the sales is still a virgin?"
"Timothy, which one are you talking about?" The colleague asked.
Timothy stared at Amelia and said, "I mean the most beautiful one in the middle."
The man glanced at Amelia and seemed to realize something. "Oh, Amelia Ramsay? I've seen her advertisement for our company. Very chaste. But I don't know her very well. It's said that she's quite low-key. What... You're interested in her?"
"I just want to know... whether she is what she seems to be."
After that, Timothy put on a dazzling smile and was about to head to Amelia. But he stopped when seeing the man coming out of the elevator and
reminded Ms. Reed with his head bowed, "Mr. Hopper is here."
"Okay, I saw..." Ms. Reed turned to two gorgeous young ladies next to her and said, "Mamie, Leslie, do you remember what I have told you at noon today?"
Mamie smiled confidently. "Don't worry, Ms. Reed. After tonight, Mr. Hopper's heart would belong to me!"
Leslie snorted, unconvinced. "Come on, you've been in the company for so long, but has Mr. Hopper ever paid attention to you? You're dreaming about winning over his heart!"
Ms. Reed scolded them with a frown, "Enough! Both of you are my right hand in getting sponsorship. You're equally capable and pretty. Otherwise, I wouldn't have provided you such a good chance to get close to Mr. Hopper! Both of you, repeat what I've told you!"
