Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Hearing this, Patrick asked in confusion, "Isn't Apex Construction in a state of mess now? Don't you think that you would only worsen his condition when you updated him with regards to the affairs of your company?"

"Who said so?!" Amelia blurted out, "Apparently Apex Construction had already..."

Hold on.

Amelia managed to contain herself from finishing her words.

She realized that she almost leaked the news that she was trying so hard to keep from Patrick.

"What did you say? What happened to Apex Construction? Are there any good things happening?" Upon noticing that Amelia was acting strange all of a sudden, Patrick could not help asking.

Amelia's expression changed unnoticeably. It was totally fine to let Patrick know about the good news. After all, he was aware that she was on the move to secure the planning project of Eastern district. However, as soon as he learned that it was a success, she could tell that he was willing to go

extra mile in knowing who was the investor of the project.

It was a matter of fact certain that once she revealed to him that it was Sawyer who invested her company, everything could turn rather tackling.

She thought that perhaps keeping it from Patrick for as long as possible might be the best solution for her for the time being.

She decided that she was going to wait until she signed the legal document that Fred was going to bring her the next day. She would find a right time to tell Patrick herself after the legal document was sent to the government department, which officially declared the contractual relationship between Apex Construction Corporation and the government.

Amelia thought that it would better be safe than sorry for the time being. As soon as she heard the buzz sound coming from the lift, she said in relief, "We reach the basement carpark. Come on! Let's get into the car and go back now. I'm starving!"

The more she tried to ease it off, the more suspicious Patrick got at her unusualness.

But he had not forgotten the promise that he made to her. He once promised that he would not ask her about anything regarding Apex Construction Corporation especially if it concerned the project at Eastern District so long as no one had mentioned it to him. Having in mind of such a promise, he had no other choice but to suppress his confusion.

"Alright, let's go." He replied faintly before he glanced up and strode out from the lift.

Amelia who was left behind him immediately paced up to catch him. She could not help glancing at his face from the side.

Putting aside the episode that took place in the lift, she had to admit that he had presented himself perfectly! "What are you looking at?" Patrick soon came to notice that Amelia was staring at him.

Seeing that he had glanced at her, Amelia simply asked the question that was lingering on her mind, "Had you taken care of any patients before?"
