Upon seeing that Audrey could not remove her gaze from her right wrist, Amelia subconsciously straightened her bracelet to ensure that it perfectly covered her bruises. It was only then she told Audrey, "This isn't from him."

Audrey could not help but ask curiously, "Then who's the one that gifted it to you?"

Amelia replied faintly, "It's a gift from Milton."

Since she had already put it on, there was no reason for her to hide the identity of the person who bought it for her.

"Oh, I see." Acknowledging her reply, Audrey soon murmured in perplexity, "Won't Mr. Hopper mind about it?" Hearing her almost inaudible murmur, Amelia decided to answer her doubt, "He had not known about it." Audrey was surprised that Amelia had caught her question. She stuck out her tongue playfully and sought to ease it off, "President Ramsay, I swear I don't mean anything!"

Amelia took a glance at Audrey before she clarified, "I know what's on your mind now. But Milton is like my bestie who grew up together with me. I'm entitled to use or wear anything gifted from him as I wish. I do not need to seek for Patrick's opinion."

Even Audrey could tell that Amelia was clearly irritated whenever she mentioned of Patrick. She immediately changed the subject, "Um, by the way, why did you let your hair down today? I thought you prefer to tie it all up. I still remember that you once told me that it's easier to work with your hair tied!"

Amelia tried to brush the question off, "It's just my sudden impulse."

"Oh." Upon seeing that Amelia was not in a mood of chitchatting with her, Audrey said, "I've already cleaned the office for you, President Ramsay. I'm going back to my desk now. Just call me at my extension number if you need anything."

"Sure. Take your time." Amelia nodded in acknowledgement.

As soon as Audrey closed the door behind her, Amelia immediately took out a hair band from her drawer and tied her hair up.

Despite the fact that the office was air-conditioned, she was not pleased with the idea to have her hair sticking around her neck.

Settling down, Amelia subsequently took out the agreement regarding the project at Eastern District from her safe.

She had acquired help from Jonathan to run through all the terms and conditions in the contract before. Upon ensuring that there was no problem with the contract, she began to sign and stamp on it.

After settling everything on hand, she made a call to Fred. Upon being assured that he was in his office in the governmental administrative building, she promised to deliver the contract to him herself right away.

Before departing from her office, she let her hair down again in order to cover the marks on her neck.

Meanwhile in Roxxon Corporation.
