Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 617

Amelia clearly did not believe in his excuse, but Huxton was so one-track-minded that Amelia would not get anything more from him even if she pressed on. So, she simply said, "Remember to be careful next time then, don't make any more mistakes."

Understanding Amelia's overtones, the edges of Huxton's lips lifted slightly and said, "I will. Thank you, madam, for your concern."

Amelia nodded and turned to go upstairs to her room.

At half-past seven in the evening.

Hearing a set of steady footsteps passing by her door, Amelia stopped drinking water from the glass and thought that Patrick must have come back.

The next second, the footsteps that had just passed by her door travelled back again...

As it turned out, the person outside was indeed Patrick because only he would push the door open and barge straight in without knocking.

Seeing him, Amelia simply put down the glass of water and watched the man who just appeared at her door.

She was expecting Patrick to lecture her for

'escaping' from his wrath this morning. But he said instead, "Let's go down for dinner."

Amelia could almost drown herself in his electric voice. Hell might have actually frozen over for Patrick to be so polite to her for no apparent reason. And he even asked her to go downstairs for dinner personally.

"Okay, right away," Amelia answered, then got up to tidy up the scattered files and documents on the table.

Her actions attracted Patrick's attention. "What are those on the table?"

"Oh, these are the information of a venture capital I asked the seniors at the company to help me sort out. I want to give it a try." Amelia replied without reluctance.

Patrick was furious. "What did you say?"
