Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 24

After talking to the phone, Doris immediately reported to her boss, "Amelia, a piece of bad news - Mr. Miller is departing tomorrow morning."

"... Uh, any good news?"

"He promised to meet you at 7:30 tonight at room 101, Venice Hotel."

The lady boss was in deep thought - In other words, if the negotiation failed, we would lose such a cash cow?

"Doris, are you available then? We go together?"

With the assistant, Amelia might not be stuck.

Doris said pitifully, "Boss, I have an urgent blind date who asked me out several times... My parents are worried about my marriage and requested me to attend the meeting tonight... I'm sorry, boss."

Marriage was a big deal and Amelia was definitely sensible, so she did not force Doris to go with her. Instead, the lady boss wished her best, "Alright, good luck! If your knot is tied with him, I'll give you a big red packet as gift!"

Doris replied with an intention to reject, "What a joke! It's too early to promise this, boss!"

Before Doris leaving the office, the internal call suddenly rang.

Seeing the incoming call, Doris picked up the voice tube and made a mouth-reading gesture to her boss: Mr. Hopper.

Amelia was astonished as this was the first time that her husband trying to get in touch with her in the company. Usually, except for meetings, they had no contact with each other.

Receiving the voice tube from Doris, Amelia answered the call diffidently, "Hello Mr. Hopper, Amelia speaking. How can I help you?"

"Mr. Hopper?" The man's magnetic voice was full of coquetry. "We've seen and touched every inch of the bodies of each other. Don't you think you are too aloof?"

The capable lady took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Hopper, if there is nothing I can do for you, that's all."

"Wait! Bring me a cup of coffee. Be quick."

"Where is Mr. Hopper's secretary?"

"Um, she isn't here with me physically... at the moment."

The word "physically" was pronounced with a prolonged sound, lingering and lingering.

Amelia got angry and almost cut off the phone, but gave a sign to her assistant and reported to her boss, "The coffee is coming. Do you need anything else, boss?"

Patrick seemed to figure out that she didn't want to see him at all and said, "Madam Amelia, I want you to deliver me the coffee and trust that you won't refuse follow my instruction, isn't it?"

Amelia was speechless.

"Boss, how can I help you?" Doris asked while waiting beside the desk.

Hanging up the phone and trying to calm herself down, Amelia told Doris with a smile, "It's okay now."

There were coffee beans and maker in the pantry, but it took time to grind and brew.

To make it easy, Amelia put a Bird's Nest instant ground coffee, which was prepared for the staff, into a disposable cup, filling with hot water and stirring with a straw.

On the 18th floor. Since the secretary was not there, she pushed the door open and walked in directly.

Seeing Patrick reading the documents, Amelia reminded him in a low voice, "Boss, may I just leave your coffee on the desk?"

He agreed without raising his head.

Pputting down the cup and was about to leave, Patrick asked with a bit of anger, "Have I told you to leave?"

Amelia turned around and stood, waiting for Patrick's order.

Putting down the pen, Patrick picked up the cup and took a sip. With a frown, he asked with an increasing anger, "Amelia, how dare you fool your boss with the instant?" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia was very calm and answered, "Boss, you instructed me to prepare coffee for you, but didn't specify the type and the taste, so please make it clear next time and I think I'll serve you better."

Patrick was so angry burst into laughter. "Madam Amelia has a glib tongue. No wonder you can be so successful at Roxxon."

Amelia pretended to be modest, "Thank you, boss.

You know, you are the one leading me to where I am.

Patrick stared at the stubborn staff and suddenly thought up why he asked her to come.
