Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 76

What had happened at the canteen made Cynthia absent-minded - Her Brother Patrick firstly sat with her, but later turned to Amelia. She didn't want to think deeply about this.

Seeing Cynthia stunned, her manager got more annoyed, "How can I entrust you since you failed in such a small task?"

Cynthia said anxiously, "Sir, I didn't mean it. Let me reprint them!"

The manager shook his head, pointed at her shoulder, and said with a hint, "Your shoulder is so thin and narrow. How can you live without a man who can take care of everything for you?"

Holding the documents tightly, Cynthia didn't say a word. She felt wronged and sour in her heart, complaining about why she lived such a suffering life. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

At sunset, in the sales department.

Since they had been busy with Valentine's promotion, Ms. Lily, as the Head of Sales, invited all her colleagues in the department to a Japanese restaurant for dinner after work.

Wow!

It would be much more expensive than last year's barbecue at a stall, so everyone appreciated Ms. Lily.

After work, the staff of the department went downstairs in groups. Coincidentally, they met Mr. Hopper who came down from the elevator. He asked faintly, "Where are you going?"

Ms. Lily smiled and said, "We're going to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. They worked so hard, you know." After a pause, she politely asked, "Sir, would you like to join us?"

"Sure." Mr. Hopper answered.

"Since you're busy... Eh? Sorry?" Ms. Lily thought she heard something wrong and looked at Mr. Hopper in surprise.

"You and I..." After glancing at Amelia and a two-second pause, Mr. Hopper continued, "... we go together."

In the Japanese restaurant.

The first thing they did upon entry was to organize the seats. The over 30 people were divided into nearly 10 tables.

Amelia had no idea why Ms. Lily was seated with Mr. Hopper.

As soon as she sat down, she was attracted to him but she had to pretend to be indifferent. With a menu in her hand, she was puzzled.

All of a sudden, Mr. Hopper touched her hand lightly. Seeing her nervous, he chuckled and said, "Why don't you share with me?"

Ms. Lily, who was seated at the same table, joked, "Yeah, Amelia, share with boss."

Amelia simply put the menu into Mr. Hopper's arms and said, "Mr. Hopper, read it yourself."

With the menu in one hand and the other circling her back, Mr. Hopper said ambiguously, "But I wanna share with Ms. Amelia."

As sensitive as she was, Amelia could naturally feel his action. She put her hand under the table and pinched his forearm hard. He grunted!

Hearing this, Ms. Lily asked nervously, "Sir, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm! It was just a mosquito!" Mr. Hopper said as if nothing happened and withdrew his hand on Amelia's back.

Amelia didn't care about him.

And the dishes were served gradually.

During the meal.

In Japanese cuisine, mustard and sushi were a perfect match, but Amelia noticed that Patrick only took the sushi without mustard, which tasted dull.

So she picked up a piece of cherry blossom sushi and dip it in soy sauce and mustard, and then put it on his plate, saying, "Have a try, Mr. Hopper."

Patrick felt disgusted at the green mustard on the pinky cherry blossom.

But with the expectant look in Amelia's eyes, he picked the sushi up and kept it in mouth.

The pungent smell made him, who didn't like the food with strong taste, felt mad. While he was busy looking for a cup of tea, he saw Amelia looking at him with a tricky smile. He realized that she actually waited to see him making a fool of himself.

Pointing at Amelia's lips with his index finger, Patrick

said, "Ms. Amelia, there's something on your lips."

Seeing that Patrick was serious, Amelia licked where he pointed. Then she immediately began looking for a cup of tea!

She was so happy to see Patrick fooling himself that wasn't aware the mustard left on his fingertip.

Seeing Amelia's red lips quivered slightly for being choked or angry, Patrick's handsome face was full of joy.

After the meal, when Ms. Lily was about to pay the bill, Mr. Hopper gave the cashier a Premium Card, saying, "It's my bill."

"Oh, boss, it's my bill today." Ms. Lily said in a hurry.

But it was late as Mr. Hopper had told the cashier to swipe the card. Ms. Lily had no other option but said, "Thank you, boss."

Outside the restaurant, the colleagues said goodbye to each other and went home. After a while, only Amelia and Patrick were left. He said, "Let's go home."

"No, I have to go somewhere else." Amelia said.

"Where?" Patrick asked.

At night, in the emergency center.

The Lamborghini stopped at the gate of the Inpatient. Amelia said to Patrick, "Wait for me here. I'll come down soon."

A hint of anger rose in Patrick's heart and he questioned, "Can't I go up to see your father with you?"

Amelia was stunned for a moment and then said,

"This is my family's business."

"Up to you!" Patrick said with anger.

Seeing her walking into the building, he heard his phone ringing. It was his elder brother wanting to see him.

*

Because she cared about him, she didn't want to show him how sharp she was, letting alone the painful memories. This was why Amelia didn't want Patrick to visit her father.

Standing outside the ward, Amelia gently patted the window with one hand and woke Alice up, who was sitting on the chair.

Seeing Amelia, Alice immediately got up and opened the door.

In just one day, Alice looked much more haggard -she really took good care of her husband here. Amelia Ramsay wanted to ridicule her as usual, but when she saw Alice's tired face, she swallowed the words.

As tender as she was, Alice said in a soft voice, "My dear, your dad woke up early today in good condition. He asked about you. He had just fell asleep. Would you like to come in and see him?"

Amelia didn't move. After an "oh" with a cold face, there was nothing to say, because Alice had told her everything.

Seeing Amelia was about to leave, Alice stopped her, saying, "Amelia, I have a request."

Amelia stopped with her back facing Alice.

"Your father's heart attack this time was a warning to us. He is getting older, and he could do less to increase Apex's performance. I have advised him before to retire as soon as possible, but he said that he hasn't found a capable successor. So, do you think Daniel could be the one?"

Amelia said pitifully, "This is his company. You should discuss it with him."
