Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 831

Amelia could not help but find it amusing to watch Kaleb losing his footing. For someone like Kaleb, who had the motives but not the guts, was destined to achieve nothing!

In the office.

Seeing Amelia opening the door and strolling in, Audrey asked immediately, "President Ramsay, do you want a cup of tea?"

Hearing the word 'tea', Amelia's heart began to throb. It hurt her to hear the word!

So, she asked while closing the door, "Is there any client coming over later?"

Audrey calmly flipped through the notebook containing the daily schedule of the acting president and said frankly, "Not for the time being."

Hearing that, Amelia was secretly glad and said, "Okay then. I'll have a cup of tea."

After that, Audrey took the bag of top-quality tea from the drawer and left.

A moment later, Audrey returned. Before Amelia was able to take the tea from Audrey, she was startled by what was behind Audrey.

Turning her head to look back, Audrey uttered, "President Ramsay, they..."

Taking in the slightly twitching corners of Amelia's eyes, one of the men said, "President Ramsay, the reason for our visit this time is about the exceeding amount of food waste being dumped into C River. We're here to discuss with you the solution."

Ah, those nerds... Oh no, the leaders from the Environmental Protection Bureau had come to visit again!

And Amelia's cup of fragrant tea was snatched away by one of those sweaty leaders!

"This is quite nice." The man smacked his lips and said to his colleagues behind him.

As a result, the leaders cast their attention on Audrey, their gazes were expectant and splendor.

Audrey was slightly intimidated by their looks, so she murmured to Amelia while holding the tea tray in her hands, "President Ramsay, I..."

Amelia silently turned her back to the visitors, then discreetly raised one hand onto her heart. She waved her other hand weakly and said to Audrey, "Go make more cups of tea for our guests."

"Okay!" Audrey answered.

When Amelia turned back around, she was wearing a broad grin on her face.

It had to be said without the flowery makeup on her face, Amelia's skin glowed fair and tender. To add on, her eyes turned into the shape of crescent moons whenever she smiled, which was enough to charm everyone present in the room.

However, no matter how charmed they were, they could not get the work down based solely on that!

The leaders tried their best to squeeze on the small sofas and began to ask Amelia about her opinions on taking this matter to the authority or to settle this in private.

Amelia thought they were too impatient and overly enthusiastic. And it was just a multiple choice question with only two answer given, so was it necessary forthem to come here in person?

"After the final vote from our board of directors, we have decided that we're more comfortable to take the legal and fair route."

Upon hearing her, the environmental protection leaders were caught off their guards!

They all felt that Amelia had to be an airhead to choose to go the legal route. They had even prepared their speech for when Amelia told them she would settle this privately. But Amelia was saying Apex Construction Corporation was choosing to go to the authority?

"President Ramsay, you should know that if you

choose to handle this with the court, you and your staff's restaurant will get publicized in the newspapers! So...are you sure you don't want to get this over with in private with us? If you do so, our Environmental Protection Bureau can bury this matter for you without anyone knowing."

Amelia waved her hand and said with an eager but restrained tone, "How can I not know all of your kindness? However, I'm just an acting president in the company. To put it bluntly, the word 'acting' meant I work for the board of directors. My influence is almost non-existent, and I can't change the decision of the directors above me. No matter what I say, most of the board of directors still insist on taking this legally."

One of the leaders was puzzled. "Why are most of your directors determined to deal with the authority on this? Isn't it more beneficial for the protection of your company's reputation if it's settled in private?"

"Who knows?" Amelia gave a wry smile and appeared to look pitiful. "Our company is divided into different groups, and we have never unified. I usually listen to the leader of the group with the most power. I'm just doing what they ask me to. That's all."

Amelia was making it sound like she had been severely persecuted. However, the Environmental Protection Bureau had indeed heard about the feud between Jonathan and Kaleb, that Kaleb had always been on Jonathan's tail.

That was to say, the party led by Kaleb had stopped them from carrying out the next step of their plan?

The leaders then shot each other a look. The same sentiment was going through their minds that since Amelia was not the one who made the final decision, there seemed to be no need for them to stay any longer. They should go back and discuss countermeasures with the person who entrusted them with this task.

Amelia did not expect she would cause the leaders to go into a frozen negotiation after she used Kaleb coincidentally as her excuse.

From this, she could tell that there was a mastermind behind this group of men. Otherwise, why were they so entangled with whether her company would deal with this in a private or public way? They could very well punish Apex Construction Corporation by the law!

From the way the situation was playing out, it seemed that Amelia had made the right choice, taking it up with the authority!

As the old saying went, 'goodness always triumphs over evil.' If she had chosen to go private with this, she might have landed herself in the opponent's trap! Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

At noon, Amelia was about to get up for a stretch after finishing the tasks at hand.

Right then, her phone rang from her left-hand side. Picking the phone up and looking at it, she was surprised by what she saw. Then, she hurried to accept the call.

"Paisley, what's happening over there?"

"Amelia, I have bad news. Your husband passed out in front of the garden gate early in the morning and was picked up by the man in black later in the day. I checked and found that his fever was at a high 41 -degree Celsius. His body alternated between the state of burning hot and cold the whole time. The worst thing is that though he fainted, he doesn't let anyone come close to him. If he feels anyone touching him, he'll spring up from the bed and beat them up right away. I have already been

beaten by him several times. The man in black was also worried about him and tried to get closer to him, but he was beaten up badly too. What do you think we should do?"

"No way." Amelia was awed. Patrick fainted at the gate of the garden?

Could it be...

She suddenly recalled that when Patrick was following her in the morning, he had indeed caught up with her at the entrance of the garden. Could he have fainted at that time?

Paisley continued, "Oh! Your husband is hitting people again! Can you hearthat? Can you hear the thumps and bangs? That's a punch to the flesh! It's such a pain to be your bodyguard! How about this, I'll put my phone to your husband's ear. You can talk him out of it. He'll listen to you."

Before Amelia could reply, the sound of Paisley's shuffling footsteps from dodging left and right sounded in her ears.

In less than two seconds, a furious cry of 'piss off!' resounded in her eardrums. Amelia then felt a buzz in her ears, and her skull also shook from the vibration!

Putting the phone further away from her, Amelia could still hear Paisley's angry scolding, "F*ck! If I get out of here, I'll see how you can act up in front of your wife!"

A moment later, Amelia knew that she was talking to Patrick through the phone. But what was there for her to say?

Was Sissi not the reason behind his worsened condition?
