Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 421

Mamie and Leslie exchanged a look with each other. One of them said, "You want us to build a good relationship with Mr. Hopper so that the PR can better perform next year and gain more financial support." Mr. Reed nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Stop talking about it. Mr. Hopper is here."

Patrick stood still and asked, "Is everyone here?"

If they had paid attention to where he was standing, they would replace that he and Amelia were shoulder to shoulder.

But everyone's attention was on his face, so they all missed it.

At the garden restaurant.

Everyone was sitting around the table. Leslie dangled the crab's claw in front of Patrick and said vulnerability, "Mr. Hopper, it is too hard for me to open."

Sitting opposite Patrick, Amelia watched them silently.

Patrick remained unmoved and said to Leslie, "Too hard? Don't eat it then."

Well done! Amelia gave a praise to Patrick inwardly!

"Oh..." Leslie put down the crab. According to what normal people would do, shouldn't Patrick handle it for her like a gentleman? Why didn't he follow her plan?

Sitting on the other side of Patrick, Mamie looked at Leslie with disdain and talked to Patrick in a normal voice.

Without trying to please Patrick, Mamie got him talking several times, which reminded Leslie of her missteps.

As if she had gotten Patrick intrigued by mentioning something, the president looked at Mamie seriously. "Before you came to work for Roxxon, you taught junior high school?"

"Yes!" There was nostalgia in Mamie's eyes. "Sometimes, when I think of those lovely children, I do wish I could leave my work alone and go back to visit them."

Patrick said softly, "Looks like you love teaching very much."

Seeing that Patrick seemed to have good impressions of teachers, Mamie hurriedly exaggerated, "Well, I have said to myself many times that if I could be a teacher again, I will cultivate more good civilians for the society."

"Your idea... is admirable," Patrick commented sincerely.

At that, Mamie was so happy that she started to exaggerate her feelings even more.

Noticing the two in front of her had never stopped talking from the very beginning, Amelia emptied the wine Doris poured for her gloomily. Patrick didn't live up to her praise. She had just complimented him for being able to hold himself back in front of beautiful women, and then he showed his true color too soon.

Ms. Reed was rather satisfied with her subordinates. Mamie was always resourceful and better than Leslie, who only depended on her pretty face.

The meal was over at the second when Patrick put down his cutlery.

He looked at Amelia from a distance and said in an aloof tone, "Manager Ramsay, where should we go now?"

Manager Ramsay!

Hearing the address, Amelia had a strong impulse to jump into the chair and announce in front of everyone that she was Mrs. Hopper after work, instead of Manager Ramsay!

Doris found that Amelia seemed to be possessed. Amelia kept glaring at Patrick, having no idea what disaster it would bring to her and the

sales department.

One second, three seconds, five seconds...

Knowing that Amelia was still glaring at Patrick with "hatred", Doris was so worried that she almost cried. "Amelia, what are you thinking? Mr. Hopper is asking you where to go next... Answer him immediately!" Doris's voice pulled Amelia back to reality. Under everyone's confused gaze, she pretended nothing had happened and said, "We've agreed to go to Triumph Karaoke. I don't know if you'll like it, Mr. Hopper?" There was interest in Patrick's dark eyes. "Okay. I've never been to that place."

That place?

There was nothing particular about his tone, but no one could ignore the condescending feeling he gave.

The feeling was stronger to Amelia and reminded her of what Ms. Reed had said to her. It was as if Patrick was looking down on the idea from their department.

Now Ms. Reed was watching her with a smile that seemed to be saying "I told you so".

Amelia couldn't bear it anymore, but she could vent her anger in public. As a result, she rearranged her features and curled up the corner of her mouth.

"Since you said it's okay, let's get there now."

Since they had a group of people, they borrowed a bus from Roxxon. When Amelia walked into the vehicle, she found that the secretary, who should have sat next to Patrick, was driven to the back seats. And the one Patrick was talking with was still that Mamie!

Amelia couldn't help giving a few more looks at Mamie, wondering what it was about her that attracted Patrick that much.

Suddenly, Mamie tilted her head to organize her hair. When a long hair drifted from her finger to Patrick's suit, she hurried to reach out and brushed it away. "Mr. Hopper, I'm sorry. Our department has a heavy workload at the end of the year. I'm kind of losing my hair."

Patrick pondered over what she had just said. "Your department has a heavy workload?"

Just as Mamie was about to comment that the company had been squeezing their department and ask Patrick to take more care of them, Leslie, who couldn't stand to be ignored, interrupted, "Mr. Hopper, wha are you talking with Mamie? You look so happy. Can I join you?"

If she had not been in Patrick's presence, Mamie would quarrel with Leslie. Since she needed to leave a good impression on Patrick now, Mamie had to

hold back her anger and said, "Of course, but there are only two seats each row. Are you going to stand there talking to us? The bus is about to start"

The moment Mamie finished her words, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the whole car leaned forward...

Because of their position, Leslie, who hadn't gotten her seat yet, fell backward and stepped on Amelia, who had just sat down and had no time to arrange her feet. When Amelia was about to replace out which jerk had stepped on her without any apology, Leslie dropped beside her and accidentally pushed her shoulder against the window!

Excellent. Now Amelia's feet hurt. And her arm hurt. And the other parts of her body hurt more from annoyance!

But with her only focus on chatting with Patrick, Leslie didn't even say sorry to Amelia.

Patrick saw all of that.

And it brought coldness to the look he gave Leslie.

After they got off the bus, Patrick stopped next to Amelia's seat and asked, "Are you alright?"

Amelia gave him a quick look. "Of course not! How about I step on you and give you a good push!"

It was fair to say that Amelia was venting her anger on him. But if it weren't for Patrick attracting those women's attention, how on earth could all this have happened to her!
