Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) -
Chapter 487
Seeing the nod from Vicente, Brayden went to work at once. He must eradicate all hidden peril before Jack was arrested and interrogated. At the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia saw that it was almost noon, so she made a phone call to both Leah and Shawn, reminding them that they were supposed to meet at the Broad Avenue Restaurant later.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening and closing sounded from the first floor. Amelia's face stiffened for a second, thinking that Patrick must have come back.
Gently opening the door handle, she grabbed the railing of the second floor and peered down. It was the housekeeper. Amelia then remembered that today was the weekend and that the housekeeper had come over to do spring-cleaning.
The aunt heard the movement from ahead and looked up. When she saw Amelia, she asked with concern, "Miss Amelia, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten!" Amelia lied.
Then, she descended the spiral staircase, came to the front of the housekeeper, and said, "Auntie, I have to head out now. If Mr. Hopper comes back and replaces that I'm not home, then you tell him that...I've left to meet a friend."
The housekeeper knew clearly about Patrick's tendency to always ask for the whys and wherefores. So she asked, "Who are you meeting with, Miss Amelia? I can inform Mr. Hopper better if you tell me." "This..." To see Milton? No way! Ryan? Even worse! How about Jessica? She had only met her yesterday! Then to see Lucy? Patrick would lecture her for being careless when making friends! Tell her the truth? Wasn't Patrick going to explode then?
After thinking for a while, Amelia said helplessly, "Just say that I went to the hospital to see my father."
"Okay!" The housekeeper agreed without suspicion.
At Broad Avenue Restaurant.
As soon as Amelia got off the car, she saw Leah standing at the entrance of the restaurant and glancing around.
Leah's eyes lit up at the sight of Amelia, approached her, and asked, "Amelia, what happened yesterday at the nightclub? I asked Patrick on the way back, but he refused to tell me."
Amelia smiled and said, "He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry. Look, I am standing in front of you now, meaning the matter has been settled."
"That's good!" Leah patted her chest and said.
Amelia only noticed now the stark contrast of her current dressing style as compared to her yesterday's exaggerated fashion. The Leah today looked fresh and clean, and her makeup was done lightly and elegant too. The difference between how she looked now than when normal was appalling!
Amelia sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Leah, why didn't you dress up like this a long time ago?"
Leah proudly said, "If I do dress up like this, what to do with you then?"
Upon realizing what she just said, Amelia felt both indignant and amused, then said, "Yes, yes, I should thank you for showing mercy!"
"By the way, Amelia..." Leah suddenly pointed in a direction and mysteriously asked Amelia, "Have you seen the two men sitting in the restaurant?"
Following her finger, Amelia saw two oddly dressed men sitting in the position indicated by Leah. They looked as if they had come from Arabia. Other than their mouths, the rest of their body was covered in various clothing.
There was a glint of light in her eyes as Amelia said with confidence, "The one in white must be Shawn!"
Leah frowned. "Then who's the man next to him?"
Amelia was not sure. "Maybe his manager?"
Leah was not satisfied with the answer. "Amelia, I've only wanted to see Shawn. Why is his manager here as well?"
Amelia shrugged and said, "Maybe he's worried about Shawn."
Leah bit her lip. "But this person may be a hindrance to my plan!"
Amelia glanced at her and said, "Didn't you want to ask Shawn to pretend to be your temporary partner? Well, if Shawn's manager is here, you can discuss with him about the performance fee!" ""Leah was rendered speechless.
Seeing that Leah was still furrowing her brows together, Amelia reckoned that she was worried about money. So she immediately patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely help you to negotiate to the lowest mates' rate."
Leah lowered her gaze slightly and said after a long pause, "Amelia, I have a favor to ask from you."
"What is it?" "You must help me get rid of the guy beside Shawn later no matter what. I want to be alone with the man of my dreams, okay?"
With Leah's expectant eyes, Amelia could not refuse and said, "Alright, I'll try."
After that, the pair entered the restaurant and gently coughed in the way of the two men who were dressed in Arabian clothing.
One of the men heard the cough. He moved the hat on his head slightly and looked up to confirm Amelia's identity. Then he said, "Miss Amelia, long time no see. I'm Ursula." "Yes, I could tell."
Amelia had recognized him when
Ursula Cullen raised his head to meet her. She pointed to Leah next to her and introduced with a smile, "This is my cousin. I've brought her today to see Sha.the superstar."
At this, the man sitting opposite Ursula reached out to tug at Amelia's clothes without raising his head and ordered, "We know, keep your voice down. Sit down quickly."
"Okay." Amelia nodded and quietly gave Leah the empty seat next to Shawn in exchange for a look of gratitude from Leah.
When Leah sat down, she could not help taking a glance at Shawn. Her shy gaze made Shawn shift in his seat uneasily.
Leah acted as if she did not notice his small movement, took the initiative, and said, "Hello!"
"Hi." Shawn politely shook her hand when he saw a chubby and pale hand stretched out to before his chest. Leah's hand was as soft as tofu, and he rubbed her hand in reflex. Noticing Shawn's subtle movements, Leah smiled and asked, "Mr. Haward, you haven't held a lot of girls' hands this way, right?"
Shawn quickly let go of her hand, coughed awkwardly, and fell silent.
People who did not know better might think that he was putting on an act. But in actuality, he was a little ashamed and frustrated for being exposed by Leah.
Leah's stare lingered at the hand that shook Shawn's and said with yearning, "Mr. Haward, two years ago, you had also shaken my hand like today."
Shawn was stunned. "When?"
Seeing that he was looking at her with complete confusion, Leah sighed pensively, "You have met countless people, so you certainly don't remember me. It's fine if we don't talk about it."
Leah's words immediately aroused Shawn's curiosity. He pressed on, "What happened back then? Can you make it clearer?"
Seeing that the two on the opposite were striking up a chat, Amelia said timely to Ursula, who was watching the time, "Ursula, I have something to talk to you about."
Ursula answered casually, "Well, please go ahead."
Amelia beat about the bush and said, "But I wish to talk to you in private."
