Chapter 970

Seeing that Patrick seemed to have finished trying to say what he wanted to, Amelia answered, "I came to you to get the agreement, and... I want to pay you for the rent and living expenses for this month in advance."

It was as if a flash of lightning streaked across the clear sky. No, more accurately, there should be two bolts of lightning. One struck Patrick's head, and the other one struck his heart.

His expression immediately turned hostile, and Patrick gasped before saying, "It seems that you don't understand human language at all."

Amelia's features displayed a quick wince of pain momentarily, but then she immediately returned to being indifferent.

Patrick's words had always been awfully blunt and hurtful. Hadn't she known this already?

"If you only came for these two things, then coming into my room is not necessary."

As he spoke, he let go of her.

Amelia felt the pressure against her waist and back lifted, and the sound of Patrick's footsteps echoed further and further away.

She lowered her eyes and slowly turned around. The only thing she saw was Patrick's long and sturdy legs.

As she looked up, she realized that he was clad in a white bathrobe that hung until his knee.

She had been tricked!

By this time, Patrick had arrived at his desk.

He switched on the desk lamp and pulled apart the office chair towards himself while his handsome face was riddled with gloom, as dark as ink.

That look was not of someone who was about to work, but someone who was going to kill.

Amelia did not know what else she could possibly say to him, so she simply leaned against the edge of the window and kept silent.

But in the next second, Patrick lifted his gaze and looked at her with eyes framed with overwhelming hostility. "Would you prefer me to write it myself, or to formally type it out into an agreement sealed together with my signature and stamp?"

Amelia's rosy red lips stammered twice. "That's up to you."
