Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 974

Upon hearing the secretary's words, Amelia's heart gave a squeeze. The reason why Patrick did not come to work yesterday was because of her.

As she glanced at the office door gradually opening in front of her, Amelia unconsciously tightened her grip on the bag clutched in hand.

Then, under the expectant gaze of the secretary, she stepped in.

The secretary closed the door immediately and hung a "Do not Disturb" sign on the door handle.

After much thought, the secretary was still worried. She then turned and fished out something that shone in a silver light from her drawer. She headed back to the office door and fiddled with it.

"Hahaha, Madam Ramsay could not run away now!

I'll just have to patiently wait for Mr. Hopper to give me a raise!"

The secretary thought to herself proudly.

In the office, Amelia and Patrick looked at each other.

The moment he saw Amelia, there was a flash of surprise in the corner of Patrick's red-rimmed eyes due to the lack of sleep, which then quickly dissipated in the dark.

His fingers were originally placed on the keyboard, but they were gathered together on his knees at this moment.

If that was not enough, Patrick leaned back on his revolving chair, displaying a posture that read, "What brings you here?"

Under his obscure gaze, Amelia felt uneasy and apologized, "Sorry for bothering you..."

Patrick did not give her any room to continue. "Then why are you still here knowing that your presence bothers me?"

Amelia immediately had an impulse to turn around and leave immediately!

However! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Patrick is now me and my company's savior. No matter how angry he is at me, I shall endure it!"

After having convinced herself, Amelia was about to walk towards Patrick's table to arrange all the dishes in front of him, when she heard him say...

"Did I invite you here? I have mysophobia, and I can't stand excessive intimacy from anybody else."

Amelia took a deep breath and tried to coax him as pleasantly as possible, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? I'm here to bring you lunch. All your favorite dishes are in this bag..."

Nevertheless, Patrick interrupted her indifferently. "Well, after seeing you, I'm already full."

Amelia's bright eyes twitched a little in displeasure.

She comforted herself in her heart. Although Patrick was always so blunt, but in fact, he meant no harm. She tried to persuade him again, "Stop forcing yourself, okay?

Your secretary just told me that you were busy from this morning till now.

How could you not be hungry since you haven't been drinking, let alone have a meal?"

Patrick curved his thin lips and answered her coldly, "It's not that I'm not hungry, but after seeing your face, I. Am. Full."

What he meant was that she was so hideous to the point of anger and resentment, which made him unable to eat, wasn't it?

Amelia thought that this was something easy to solve. "Then I'll leave the lunch here."

Although Nora had prepared two portions of food, but if it would cause both sides to suffer because of having lunch together, then Amelia would rather give up her own portion of the meal instead.

When Patrick heard that she was going to leave, his picky tone became even more significant. "Have I ever asked you to bring lunch to my company?"

Amelia bit her lips. Just as she was hesitating about whether or not she should inform him that it was Nora who prepared the meal, Patrick coldly asked her again, "Answer my question. Have I ever told you to bring me food?"

Amelia replied, "No!"

With a sneer, Patrick pressed on in a haughty tone, "Then do you have an invitation or did you have my permission to come into my office?"

The space between Amelia's brows rapidly twitched. "No."

Patrick nodded and tried to bombard her with further questions. "If this is a 'no', and that's a 'no' either, do you think that my office is accessible to anyone who wants to enter?"

Amelia clenched her teeth and answered, "I..." D*mn it!

If it was not due to the fact that he had helped Apex Construction Corporation, if it was not for the fact that he had helped her company! If it was not...

In her heart, she repeated the purpose of her appearance in Roxxon Corporation three times before answering him while maintaining a smile on her face, "I inquired at the front desk if I needed to make any appointments to meet you in advance. They informed me that wasn't necessary and said that it was okay for me come up to you directly..."

Patrick's heavy tone dragged on, "Oh, so they didn't carry out their job well."

Amelia's heart trembled as she immediately realized what Patrick was about to do next.

He picked up the phone next to him and dialled a number. Then he placed the phone to his ear and glared at Amelia with piercingly sharp eyes. It was obvious that someone was going to get into big trouble!

If Amelia could not figure out what Patrick was trying to do at this time, she would be too naive.

She wanted to snatch the phone in his ear, but he saw through her and managed to dodge away.

Amelia fumed, "Patrick! This was my fault! Don't blame them!"

It was at this moment when Patrick uttered a "Hello!" Under Amelia's extremely furious expression, he instructed coldly, "No appointments will be made in the future. No one will be allowed to come up without my permission. Remember, everyone is subjected to this rule."

After he finished talking, Patrick shot Amelia a meaningful look and put the phone back to its original place.

Brilliant!

"I will never visit you in the future anymore!" Amelia was completely infuriated. "Patrick Hopper, did you think I really want to come visit you?"

"If it was not for you meddling and poking your nose in my business and settling the issue regarding C River, I wouldn't even show up today!"

After hearing this, Patrick was also enraged. He was angry at Amelia, but also at Owen for his slip of tongue. "I meddled in your business? Why don't you say that again!"

"Sure, I'll repeat as you wish!" Amelia placed the bag containing food on his desk and argued loudly, "I have never complained or told you about C River's issue from the beginning to the end, so I don't know where you got your information from.

If you asked me about it out of curiosity, I won't comment much on it, but why did you have to go out all your way to help me?

Although the way you settled things was kind of a help to me, but even without you..."

"Then Owen would be there to help you anyway, right?" Patrick argued back angrily.

Amelia answered bluntly, "Yes, I entrusted Owen with this issue to ask for his help!"

"Haha..." Patrick sneered and single handedly punched his table hard.

The food, which was stacked in a row tilted precariously due to his outburst.

Amelia was so angry that her heart ached.

She quickly rearranged all the food in the bag again and placed them aside. She then glared at Patrick angrily. "Will you stop throwing a tantrum for god's sake? I'm just here to thank you sincerely. Did you have to ruin this moment for us?"

"Sincerely?" Patrick's eyes were full of ridicule. "Well, I don't even see it!"

Amelia gritted her teeth. Wasn't her attitude good enough? The only thing she did not do was to kneel before him!

Although she was mad, she really could not disregard the fact that Patrick had indeed contributed to Apex Construction Corporation.
