Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 651

Hearing this, Jonathan put down his chopsticks and said to Amelia solemnly, "As long as the enterprise is not declared bankrupt, then we should take initiative to take down the profitable project! Our company is currently awaiting for investments. If we don't take initiative in grabbing the opportunity, then we'll never find a way out from the current situation."

Amelia remained silence. Perhaps Jonathan and her were currently holding different positions and hence their respective considerations and doubts might varied. Apex Construction Corporation could not afford any more mistakes. Hence, she must be extra cautious in making any decisions!

It was as if Jonathan could read her mind from his experienced eyes. He said, "President Ramsay, the market is akin to the battlefield. It'd be good to be cautious. However, exceeding cautions will only make us loss chances. You don't have to worry much of the expenditures. As I said, we are going to have government support at the early stage. Later we can try to ask for investments and sponsorship. In the worst case, we can ask for a loan from the bank. All we need to do is to wait for the completion of the theme park. Once it begins to open for public, somehow we will be managed to fill in the loophole

of money that Daniel had caused."

Amelia was impressed by his explanation. She could not help enquiring him humbly, "Uncle Tucker, in that case, I have another question!"

Jonathan did not seem to be annoyed by her questions. He smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Amelia fired away her question upon his approval, "How will the business go once the theme park is built? I'm afraid that we might end up suffering loss."

Jonathan smiled, "Since the government had proposed this project, certainly they must have evaluated the risk before. In my opinion, President Ramsay can take a look at the number of similar

companies who are going to compete with us. Assuming that we are indeed a fool, there's no way that all other companies are going to make the same stupid mistake. Don't you think?"

Amelia blinked her eyes in understanding. Right now she was completely convinced by Jonathan's words, "You're right!"

Jonathan stared at her and asked, "So, may I know what is your decision?"

Amelia took a deep breath as if she had pumped in the confidence for herself and said, "I want to bet on this."

In Room 1601 located on the 16th floor of one of the premium residence in Northville.

A figure with graceful stature could be seen in the empty kitchen where she stared at the instant noodle packet on top of the cabinet in frustration.

She had never really bothered about the taste of the instant noodle. All she cared about was that which brand appealed more to her appetite.

When she was murmuring to herself, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?" The woman muttered in confusion. She put aside her struggle in picking the right instant noodle for herself and turned around in direction of the door.

Moments later...

Stopping at the door, the woman lowered her head so that she could peek at the peephole of the door. Her face was instantly painted with excitement in surprise as soon as she saw the man standing outside.

Leaning over, she earnestly entered a 4-digit passcode before she pressed on the 'confirm' button.

The next second, a beep sounded from the device indicated that the passcode entered was correct.

The woman's face was lit up with joy. She was about to reach the door knob when she suddenly remembered of something. She quickly turned around and rushed to the washroom. Then, she began to tidy herself in front of the mirror.

During this period, the doorbell rang a few more times.

"I'm coming!" The woman shouted and walked out from the bathroom eagerly.

She returned to the door and opened it. She smiled at the man who was standing outside and said, "Hello!"

Patrick did not seem to be irritated despite waiting for some time outside.

Taking a quick glance at Sissi, Patrick asked politely in distant, "May I come in?"

Sissi smiled brightly and said, "Of course!"

Ten minutes later...

"CEO of Roxxon, what made you thought of coming here to have instant noodle with me?"

Sissi came out of the kitchen with two cups of the instant noodle on her hands. One of them had been brought to the front of Patrick.

Patrick shifted into a leg-crossing posture. He stared at the instant noodle and frowned, "This is what you eat after work?"

Sissi had no choice but to admit plainly, "Yeah. You don't want me to rent outside. Instead, you have insisted on me to move in to the new house here. But the kitchenware here is yet to be purchased, hence instant noodle is my only option."

Patrick pursed his lips and said, "Come, I'll bring you out for a meal."

Sissi changed to a lighter tone and rejected his offer politely, "No need forthat. Instant noodle will only take one minute to be done. Don't you know that I've just gotten this job? There are some documents of students which will require me to browse through. Otherwise, I don't even know how to interact with them during class session."

Patrick did not seem to regard this as an issue, "There's no need for lecturers in the university to remember the students' names in particular right?"

Patrick had never used to prioritize some irrelevant people in his life to the extent that he was going to delay eating for them.

Sissi smiled and said, "That's true, but since the fate had brought me to them, I feel like I should try my best to remember all their names so that I can mix around with them soon."

"Come on." Patrick sneered, "Don't tell me that you're gonna hook up with your own students again the more you get to know them." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Sissi's face turned pale. She lowered her eyes and said sadly, "No... I won't."

Seeing how embarrassed she looked, Patrick realized that he had gone too far. "I'm sorry, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Sissi shook her head, "I'm fine. You don't have to apologize. After all... This is somewhat true."

Patrick's back which was earning against the leathered chair was stiffened. He replied guiltily in frustration, "Hadn't I already apologized to you? Why would you still humiliate yourself by saying so?"

With that said, he reached out to his pocket and took out a jade made earring before putting it casually on top of the table.

The small gesture of Patrick implied his good intention.

Sissi came to her senses and picked up one of the cup of instant noodle. She started removing the package and said, "Alright, now let me prepare the instant noodle for you as an apology. So please forgive me for my miswords, alright?"

Her words were mature yet she had spoken them in a mischievous way. Patrick's anger could not help receding, "Fine, but you must make sure that your noodle is of Michelin five star standard."

Sissi clicked her tongue in mischief and said, "This is an impossible mission for me. But I'll try my best."

A minute later, Sissi handed the cooked noodle over to Patrick. She enthusiastically opened the lid and exclaimed, "Dang dang! Now it's ready to eat!"

Patrick was so irritated by the strong seasoning smell that he frowned. He had an impulse to throw that instant noodle into the rubbish bin.

Sissi's eyes flashed with disappointment when she saw that his reaction was somehow different from what she had imagined.

In the past, no matter what she cooked, Patrick had never rejected it. He could even enjoy with the most basic egg sandwich made by her. But at this moment, he was unmoved by her effort. Strictly speaking, she could tell that he was distasteful...

After all, everything had changed...

Sissi could not help but sigh.

Her sigh was clearly heard by Patrick which made him tensed.

"Give it to me." As Patrick was saying, he reached out to take over the noodle from her.
