Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 655



Chapter 655

D*mn it!

The pitiful expression on Amelia was as if she was greatly wronged.

But it was her who turned him down over and over again! It was only because of her that he stormed away from home and spent a night outside alone in the hotel!

Since when did Patrick have to compromise with her upsetting himself so much?

Yet at this moment, with just a few words, Amelia already was in such a state of aggrievement that she was about to break down into tears any time. As for him, he was not even upset yet!

Putting back on a straight face, Patrick coldly told her the suggestion that had been lingering on his mind for a long time. "Instead of staying up late to plan a proposal, why don't you take some notes on how you can be a better wife? And as soon as I'm satisfied, I can introduce a few cases with the big shots to you... and be done with this once and for all."

Amelia knitted her brows together.

She knew Patrick would not give her any solid, good

advice.

In short, he was suggesting that when men use their brains to do business, women should do business with their bodies instead.

Blinking away the disappointment out from the corner of her eyes, Amelia looked up at his seemingly all-knowing handsome face and said placidly, "Okay, I'll remember your advice. Can you leave now?"

"No!" Patrick's eyes constricted and locked on his prey, "If you really do remember, you should be pulling me in with you now, not pushing me away."

The implication in his words was heavily and strongly self-evident.

Amelia merely glanced at the desk in response and saw that the laptop was still on. If she invited Patrick to come in, no doubt the project on the eastern zone would be exposed.

She could not count on him for help. And at the same time, she was afraid he would cause trouble for her at the most critical moment. After all, he could easily destroy her chances with the few sponsors that she was about to get the moment the tiniest dispute broke out between them.

And Apex Construction Corporation had to get their hands on the project on the east side in the shortest time! Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She could not afford to make any mistakes just because of Patrick's personal needs!

After making up her mind, Amelia turned her head back and told grievously to the man who was casting suggestive looks at her by the door, "Let's do it another day. I'm busy now."

Patrick was more than a head taller than her, and his eyesight was good too. Naturally, the scene of her messy desktop and opened laptop all came into his line of vision.

She was very busy indeed, and he was fully aware of this.

However, it was precisely because of this reason that made him feel so annoyed.

Because what this showed was that Amelia's eyes were truly puffed up because of business, not because he did not return home.

Amelia's heart missed a beat when she noticed that Patrick's eyes were glued to her desk behind her. She shifted on her feet in guilty conscience and stood in front of Patrick for fear of him finding out something he should not.

"Can you leave now? I really have to get back to work." She repeated her request to be safe.

Patrick lowered his ominous gaze and fixated on Amelia's nervous face. He grumbled dangerously,

"Looks like you still don't understand what I'm saying."

Amelia put on a softer tone and coaxed, "I know, you want me to sleep with you tonight, then you'll introduce some clients to me, right? But I have something more important on my hand now, so can we do it another day?"

She was even more displeased than Patrick was. But because she was inferior to him in all aspects, she could only go with his flow.

But the case was different for Patrick, he lost his temper the moment he was not satisfied. "Amelia Ramsay, is your work so important?" "Even more important than me?" thought Patrick silently.

Hobart was prioritized before him previously. And even lifeless work came before him?

They were a married couple, not flatmates. Did it kill her to want him to come home for dinner and stay the night? Or even just to look at her?

"Why are you getting so irritated?" Amelia observed him and realised that his body was basically clamouring for some relief, which puzzled her greatly. "Didn't you say you went to the nightclub last night?"

His blood boiled in his veins. Patrick suddenly reached out to grab Amelia's arm, which was pressing onto the door.

Startled, Amelia loosened her grip. And before she could react, Patrick pulled her towards him through the crack of the door.

Amelia swiftly staggered into his arms. His other hand held her chin up skillfully and asked, "Do you wish that I had spent my energy at the club?"

Amelia frowned. "Didn't you say that yourself?"

Unlike the heat emitting from Patrick's palm, his voice was so icy that it sent a chill through Amelia's heart. "I was asking you! Even if I've gone to that kind of place and found myself a escort to accompany me, don't you care?"

Amelia's eyes dimmed. "I..." She cared, of course.

Right at this moment, a ringtone sounded and interrupted the rest of her sentence.

Amelia pulled her head down with effort and looked toward the source of the ringtone, reminding Patrick, "Your phone is ringing."

"I know, I hear it!" Patrick glared at her in anger. Then, he retracted his hand from her chin and reached into his trouser pocket.

However, his other hand was still tightly holding onto her arm, leaving no chance for her to escape back to her room!

But very soon, Patrick regretted this decision.

And it was because the name glowing on the phone screen was the pseudonym he made for Sissi, 'Unknown'.

Realizing that the grip on her arm had stiffened slightly, Amelia glanced at the caller ID and read it in a light and almost inaudible way, "Unknown?"

Hearing her, Patrick's hand with the phone trembled and instantly declined the call.

Amelia turned to look at his cold and stern face at his action and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you pick up?"

Thinking about it, this was the first time that he had hung up on an incoming call in front of her. In the past, even when Cynthia called, back when they were mutually pining for each other, he never avoided her call in front of her.

If that was Patrick's frank treatment towards Cynthia, then what was happening at this moment? The person who called him was 'Unknown', and yet, he had hung up the call. What else could it be if it was not guilt that he was feeling?

Hah, who would have thought that Patrick, who walked the talk, would end up like this!

In the face of Amelia's question, Patrick's eyes faltered. He quickly said, "It's not a big deal, just a customer."

To which Amelia replied, "Oh, your customer's name is called 'Unknown'? That's quite unique."

Patrick squeezed out a faint smile as if it did not matter. "I'm not that familiar with this customer, and he always pestered me to do business with him, so I hastily saved his phone number so that it's easier for me to hang up on him, like now."

What a good excuse.

A strange smile showed on her delicate face as Amelia said, "I see. Mr. Hopper's methods of handling matters are as extraordinary as always, so eye-opening."
