Chapter 86
Finally, Amelia picked a black English shirt with a dark green collar and put it into Patrick's arms, saying, "Perfect match with you, isn't it?"
Patrick had no other option and agreed.
On Monday, at Roxxon.
After lunch, Amelia met with Cynthia at a lounge.
Putting her hair behind her ear, Cynthia felt nervous in front of Amelia, saying, "Ms. Amelia, how may I help you?"
Putting down the orange juice, Amelia said gracefully, "My dear, I remember you once said that you want to compete for Patrick against me?"
Cynthia was a flustered and said, "Ye... yes."
Amelia continued, "But the precondition is that Patrick being unmarried." Amelia said in a soft voice, making Cynthia more nervous.
Cynthia finally understood why she was so nervous -Amelia at this time was not only her superior, but more importantly, she was the official wife of Brother Patrick, which was unshakable.
Cynthia's eyes darkened and she said, "Ms. Amelia, I know clearly the huge difference between Brother Patrick and me..."
"That's good" Amelia said straightforwardly, "Patrick is my husband and the elders place great expectation on our marriage. Before you want to get him, you'd better think about whether my parents-in-
law will agree."
At the end of the sentence, Amelia's eyes became sharper. After thinking about it for the whole night, she decided to take the initiative to defend her identity as the younger daughter- in- law of the Hopper Family just in case of Cynthia's pregnancy. Otherwise, the two families would completely be in a mess.
Although her mother-in-law had always disliked her, Eve would never allow Patrick to have an affair with Cynthia, the daughter of their previous steward, since she had been peacockish and wouldn't allow anyone to damage the reputation of her family.
Under the pressure of Amelia's words, Cynthia couldn't even stand up straight and gasped in pain and said, "Ms. Amelia, don't worry. Yep, I do like brother Patrick, but since he is married, I will bury this love in my deep heart and won't disturb you."
Amelia emphasised with a serious tone, "I hope you can add the time limit, which is lifelong."
Cynthia lowered her head like a loser and said in a mosquito tone, "Yes, I will..."
At this time, Amelia left and paid for the drinks, leaving Cynthia in desperation.
After a while, Cynthia took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number. She sobbed softly, "Brother Patrick..."

Patrick arrived at the bar and the same table where Amelia was
and was confused when he saw Cynthia's tearful
eyes, asking, "What happened?"
It seemed that Cynthia had made up her mind. She pushed her phone to brother Patrick and pressed the "play" button.
In an instant, the conversation between Amelia and Cynthia 30 minutes ago was completely heard by Patrick.
When the record was being played, Cynthia had been looking at Patrick, expecting him bursting his anger out, but didn't expect he was totally indifferent.
Cynthia was secretly anxious. She deliberately recorded the conversation and had been waiting for brother Patrick's outburst!
After that, under the expectation of Cynthia, Patrick smiled and asked, "Anything wrong with this?"
Cynthia was stunned, without expecting her brother Patrick could react this calmly.
After lowering her nervousness, Cynthia pretended to be kind and said, "Brother Patrick, I think it's necessary to let you know that Ms. Amelia seems to misunderstand us."
Cynthia thought, to put it bluntly, it was a misunderstanding; but to put it in a harsh way, it was a suspicion. How could proud Patrick stand Amelia talking bad of the "innocent" Cynthia?
In Cynthia's opinion, it was impossible. According to what she saw in the house, there must have been something wrong with the marriage. Just with a trick, Patrick would definitely hate Amelia even more.
To her surprise, Patrick pushed the phone back and said faintly, "Amelia is my wife. It's her responsibility to restrain my private life."
At this moment, Cynthia did not know what to say. She felt that she was a clown between the couple, who was told that "you block our way" after performing for long.
Seeing Cynthia was silent, Patrick said, "I have a meeting in 10 minutes. I gotta go."
After Patrick left, Cynthia cried out with a broken heart - he turned a deaf ear to her confession in the recording, with just Mrs. Hopper in his heart!
In the sunset, at sales department.
Patrick's secretary went to Amelia's office in person and said, "Ms. Amelia, Mr. Hopper will dine out with customers tonight and he told you to go with him."
"Me?" Amelia pointed at herself and asked in surprise, "Sure?"
Nodding, the secretary joked, "Mr. Hopper likes you so much!"
Amelia quickly flattered her and said, "Everyone knows that you are his capable assistant!"

After work, Patrick drove Amelia to Dari Vegetarian Restaurant.
The businessman was from Nepal, believing in Buddhism and liked to eat vegetarian dishes. Therefore, Patrick called the restaurant in advance to reserve a table for them. The decoration of the restaurant was elegant, and it's famous for its vegetarian dishes. Hopefully, he would like it.
Since the secretary wasn't there, Amelia opened the door for the big boss.
It seemed that Patrick didn't expect that Amelia would help him open the door and their hands were holding on the handle one after another.
Looking at Patrick with a shock, Amelia subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Patrick held her more tightly.
She was slightly annoyed, asking, "What are you doing?"
He smiled gently and loosened his grip. Then, Patrick opened the door himself and pushed the door open.
Staring at Patrick's back, Amelia thought Patrick was in a good mood.
When they entered in, they found that the businessman were there. When Amelia closed the door, they were greeting each other.
There was a young lady standing on the left side of the businessman. She looked graceful. According to the way she looked at Patrick, Amelia estimated that they had known each other for long. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
During the conversation, the businessman asked, "Patrick, I heard that Pauline and you were classmates in high school. But why do you look so unfamiliar with each other today?"
