Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 883

Smiling, Charles put down his phone and said, "It's my pleasure! This way, please. I can assure you that you'll be interested. There are several models specially meant for female drivers that we had recently introduced into our showroom. I can personally bring you for a tour of them."

"Sure!" Only Amelia knew that she had faked a smile on her face when she accepted his invitation. She began to feel pity for herself as she became the victim of hard-selling marketing strategy again.

Charles had sent a text message to Patrick when Amelia was not paying close attention to him. In the text message, not only he had updated Patrick with the fact that his wife was with him, but Charles had also sent the location of his store to Patrick.

Half an hour later, Patrick arrived, and saw Amelia grinning as Charles talked to her.

He could feel his anger slowly burned underneath him. Acting on it, he marched towards them with his gaze murderous.

"Amelia, let me tell you something..."

Charles was good at talking. He knew very well what topic would catch Amelia's attention.

For example, he had noticed that Amelia would laugh heartily at every Patrick's embarrassing secrets that he revealed to her.

Without them realizing, the two of them were getting closer over time. This could be seen from the way they began to address each other intimately.

In fact, Charles and Patrick were peers of similar age while Amelia was only a few years younger than both of them. There seemed to be nothing wrong with Amelia referring Charles as 'Charlie'.

But the way they addressing each other had triggered Patrick!

In his view, Amelia had not been knowing Charles for long, perhaps not even one hour. Yet she was laughing wholeheartedly with a man that she barely knew!

Not only had she allowed Charles to address her as 'Amy', seemingly she found no problem in calling Charles 'Charlie'.

Charles saw Patrick as soon as he looked up since he was walking towards them in direction of facing him.

However, Amelia who was sitting right opposite of Charles was completely unaware of Patrick's arrival. She continued to engage herself with the topic

revolving Patrick.

Seeing that Charles had fallen into momentary silence, she urged him flatteringly, "Charlie, tell me more please."

Hearing her delicately sweet voice as she spoke to Charles, Patrick was infuriated. He managed to frighten Charles with his murderous look while he paced up towards them.

For the sake of his safety, it would be better for him to act before Patrick. Hence, Charles stood up from the sofa right away. Smiling, he greeted Patrick, "You're here, Patrick! Please come over and have a seat! You know, I was in the midst of talking about you to Amelia!"

Patrick?!

Amelia's eyes widened in disbelief. Catching a glimpse of him from the corner of her eyes, immediately she smelled 'Water of Life' in the air.

Seeing that Patrick and Charles were now shaking hands and patting shoulders of each other, Amelia struggled to accept his presence at this time.

Charles could tell that Patrick was being aggressive against him from the force he used on patting his shoulder. He secretly cursed Patrick although he put on a smile on his face gentlemanly in response to Patrick's greeting.

After all, he had done nothing but chitchatted with Patrick's wife with the presence of his workers around.

Besides, he was not here with any motive. He even texted to notify Patrick after seeing that Amelia was alone in this area.

"Patrick, you're such a j*rk!" Charles secretly cursed.

Unfortunately, Patrick did not seem to notice the grudge that Charles was holding against him at this moment.

Glancing at Amelia who was so stunned that she had stood up from her seat, Patrick muttered, "Sit."

Charles could tell that Patrick was suppressing his anger even if he sounded calm when talking to Amelia. Hence, he hurriedly said, "Amelia, please take your seat."

Patrick glanced at Charles insidiously. Charles' sudden change of attitude towards Amelia would not alter the fact that he had been addressing Amelia intimately!

The murderous look from Patrick was sufficient to frighten Charles. He had not been aware of the influence Amelia had on Patrick! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He always thought that Patrick fancied only her body. This was what he told him in person before. He even advised Patrick to enjoy while it lasted since he was getting to get bored of her sooner or later.

Patrick and Amelia had been married to each other for almost one year. To the exact opposite, Charles could tell that his best friend had already fallen for her overtime.

Meanwhile, Amelia had already returned to her seat. Glancing at Patrick, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Patrick squinted. She sounded as if he was not supposed to be there and that his presence was an unwelcomed one.

He fired the question back at her, "This is my friend's store. It's totally normal for me to pay a visit to my friend. How about you? What are you doing here?"

Amelia tried to disguise her panic as she claimed, "I was here to meet a friend mainly. I just stopped by."

"No matter what, your best friend will never get to close a deal with me!" Amelia reminded herself secretly.

Patrick asked, "Which friend of yours actually stayed in a rural area like here? Is your friend staying in a tent? I see no residential area here but automobile stores and garages everywhere."

Amelia's eyes flickered in panic. She wished that she could time-travel to the time when she first got into the taxi and told the location of another 4S store instead. She would not have to lie from the very beginning.

Patrick did not seem wanting to let go of it, "Can't you even recall your friend's address?"

Amelia lowered her gaze to disguise her fear that she was going to be exposed at any time. She tried to make up an excuse, "Hehe... We're not very close in fact. That's why I asked her out without asking for her address."

Nodding, Patrick replied, "Well, can you ask her to meet you here? I have to meet her in person only I can ensure your safety."

Amelia was stunned by his persistence. Although he sounded as if he was concerning her, she could not help feeling that it was a trap.

However, she soon came out with an idea to get away from him, "Fine, please excuse me. I'll make a call outside and wait for her."

However, Patrick had pressed her shoulder forcefully before she could stand up from her seat. He said, "You can call here. It's not that Charles is a complete stranger."

Charles had chosen to remain silence all this while although he secretly paid close attention to every details of the two of them.

In fact, he was astonished. To be frank, he had never seen Patrick being so protective towards any woman other than Sissi.

At this moment, Amelia was stuck in a dilemma. She thought of speaking of the truth that she was here to buy car but this was no more than admitting she was a liar all this while.

It was apparent that these two men would not simply let go of this matter had they found out that she had been lying. She could even foresee how Patrick was going to make fun of her in the future with this incident.

Amelia sneaked a peek at Charles. She was pretty certain that it was all because of Charles that Patrick had shown up here.

Spending most of the time with women, Charles was sharp at dealing with women's gaze. No matter how careful Amelia was when she secretly glanced at him, Charles had sensed it nonetheless.

He raised his eyebrows in gesture to ask her.

The meeting of their eyes was immediately caught by Patrick. With his gaze deadly cold, he asked, "Mrs. Hopper, did you hear me?"
