Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 873

Kaiden could not tell if he should feel angry or sympathetic towards Amelia who had completely believed his words.

Under her puzzled look, he chuckled, "Goodluck." With that said, he turned around and escaped from the scene. It would be wise for him to not interfere.

Oh no!

Amelia was left in an awkward position that she had no other choice but to fight this battle all on her own. It was not possible for her to go after Kaiden when Sawyer was still here.

Just as she was searching an appropriate way to initiate the conversation between the two of them, she heard Sawyer's irresistible voice saying, "Ms. Amelia, please take a seat."

Amelia was stunned. Sawyer had already bypassed her and sat on the leathered sofa.

Sweeping his glance, Simon and Savannah who were both curious on what was going on hurriedly looked away.

Simon lowered his head and said, "Sir, I'm going to bring another tea cup."

Without hesitation, he picked up the broken tea cup before he turned around and left.

Approaching Sawyer, Savannah lowered her voice and asked, "How about Abner?"

Sawyer replied faintly, "Yeah, he can leave now."

"Yes, sir." Receiving the order, Savannah reached out to hold Abner's hand. Before they left, she took a glance at Amelia with her gaze intense. The corner of her mouth twitched unnoticeably as if

she had something to say. Eventually, Savannah left without a word as she knew that it was not an appropriate occasion for her to speak.

Amelia did not seem to notice this as she was still racking her brain to initiate the conversation.

She could not help feeling strange. After all, it was not like she had came unprepared. It was as if she lost all her memory the moment when she stood right in front of Sawyer!

She sneaked a peek at Sawyer just to find out that he was staring at her too.

Unlike Amelia, Sawyer did not bother to hide the fact that he was watching her. Seeing that she glanced at him, again he gestured her to sit down. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Lifting all her courage, Amelia walked over and sat down warily.

This time she seemed to learn from lesson. She had purposely picked the seat which was furthest away from Sawyer. She could only pray that her action would not disgust him again.

Watching every move of her, Sawyer could not help frowning. He wondered if he was in fact this scary.

Amelia had already begun her speech, "Mr. Quartley, I've only known two Quartleys in my life. It is such a coincidence that I happen to know your father too. Oh, you have to forgive me that I have to call out his name now. His name's Ryan. Mr. Ryan Quartley."

"As for him, I'm more than honored to receive a bottle of wine from his Dream collection as a gift from him. Not only that, I'm fortunate enough to have one climbing experience with him at Mount Logan. Anyway, I'm probably just an unimportant person to him. I'm afraid that he had never mentioned me to you, had he?"

Sawyer was not move by her speech. In fact, he nodded expressionlessly and said, "My father hadn't mentioned you to me before."

The smile at the corner of her mouth faded. Amelia could feel her cheek burning in embarrassment.

Followingly, Sawyer added coldly, "And I have not contacted with my father for several years."

Amelia was stunned by this new information as if she had just struck by a lightning. Sawyer sounded as if Ryan was a mere estranged father to him. If that was the case, then Amelia had made a wrong move to bring up Ryan in front of Sawyer!

Squinting, Sawyer fired back the question, "So can I understand this as Ms. Amelia is close with my father?"

Amelia frowned. There was no right answer to this question.

To admit that they were close, it would be hard for her to gain Sawyer's trust if it was true that Sawyer and Ryan had unresolved conflicts.

However, it would be going against her principle if she chose to deny this statement.

After deliberating, Amelia answered in determination, "I would say that I know Mr. Ryan quite well but I'm not sure if the same goes to him. Mr. Quartley, in fact I'm here today to ask a favor from you."

The corner of Sawyer's mouth twitched. Apparently, he had made it clear to her that he knew what she was up to and that her trick was useless to him.

Amelia got the message that Sawyer tried to deliver. Hence, she decided to stop beating around the bush, "Mr. Quartley, do you mind if I take a few minutes of yours?"

He swept a glance at her. Seeing her expression earnest, Sawyer shifted his posture but said nothing.

Amelia continued to say, "So, I'm the person in charge of one construction corporation. But we had since then owed a large sum of debt to the bank as a result of an accident happened some time ago. However, we already managed to get the development project of theme park building at Eastern district. This is in fact a governmental project. The reason that I managed to secure this project is because of..."

With her sentence yet to be finished, Amelia took a glance at Sawyer sheepishly.

Sawyer finished the sentence for her, "Because of me."

Amelia continued flatteringly, "There's nothing I can hide from you, Mr. Quartley! Regarding this, first of all, I would like to apologize to you for using your name without getting your consent beforehand. In fact, I was here last time with the help of Kaiden with intention to ask for forgiveness from you. Unfortunately, you weren't here that day."

The coldness in Sawyer's eyes seemed to fade a little as he said, "You helped my child."

After what had happened just a moment ago when she mentioned Ryan, Amelia had already learnt her lesson. She dared not to take credit this time. She hurriedly denied, "No! Even if I wasn't there that day, the blood bag supply would have arrived in the

hospital in a very short while."

Sawyer gave her meaningful look before he said with his voice irresistibly low, "Ms. Amelia, you don't have to belittle what you've done. I understand very well the condition of my child. Had you not stood up and volunteered to help, his condition could get so much complicated."

Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this time she had not irritated him.

Followingly, Sawyer brought up the unfinished speech of hers on his own, "So, what do you want from me, Ms. Amelia?"

Upon realizing that Sawyer had again brought up the planning project, Amelia hurriedly said, "So, I'm here to propose that you can invest in Apex Construction Corporation without rectifying this mistake."

Sawyer commented faintly, "Your proposal is very bold."

Amelia said earnestly, "I believe that our company stands a chance to make lucrative profit! All we need is your help. I'm sure that our company will prove you right in future!"

Sawyer sounded indifferent as he said, "I'm tired of listening to the same thing over and over again from others as well. Some people took my money and put them on waste as if my money had no value at all."

Amelia muttered, "In that case, I can only say that you're not sharp in making investment decisions. How can you blame others when you're the one who entrusted the wrong person?"

Sawyer frowningly asked, "What did you just say?"

"Nothing!" Amelia lifted her spirit and continued solemnly, "Mr. Quartley, I'm not good at sugarcoating my words. However, I will prove to you in action that you won't regret in investing our company! I believe you will be entitled to Apex Construction Corporation's profit sharing annually in the nearest future."

She was encouraged by his momentary silence. She convinced, "Of course, I know that you wouldn't even care about the sum of the profit. But at least, give me the chance to prove to you that your investment will be repaid!"

"Maybe you can picture our company as a handicapped person lying sick on the bed. With your investment, you will be able to see him recovering from his condition gradually until he can finally stand up, or even better, walk or run on his own.

Don't you think that this would be something that can make you feel worthwhile?"
