Upon finalizing every details of the project, Amelia accepted the invitation to have lunch together with Fred. After having lunch, it was only then Amelia drove back to Apex Construction Corporation.

As soon as she saw Amelia passing by the corridor, Audrey immediately stood up from her desk and greeted, "Ms. Amelia, you're back!"

Amelia took a glance at her from the corner of her eyes. She had to admit that she was in a good mood after she officially entered into a contractual relationship with the government. Hence, she asked cheerfully, "Yeah. Have you had your lunch?"

Audrey took a glimpse at her watch before she replied solemnly, "Not yet. It's eleven fifty now, can only go for lunch break in another ten minutes."

"It's okay, make today an exception." Smiling, Amelia was about to return to her office.

Audrey could tell that Amelia was elated upon her return as compared to her disagreeable mood earlier. She could not help but leave her desk and tailed Amelia, "President Ramsay, it seems like you and Mr. Gordon are getting along well!"

Amelia took a side glance at her just to find out that Audrey was beaming like a silly at her. Amelia felt a sense of obligation to correct her, 'Audrey, this is not about me and Mr. Gordon. It's the collaboration between Apex Construction Corporation and government of Northville that you were mentioning."

Audrey replied solemnly, "Oh! Yeah that's what I meant. My bad. I'm dead by now if today Mr. Hopper and the rest were to hear me!"

Mr. Hopper and the rest?

It made sense that Audrey mentioned Patrick this way. After all, having in mind his overbearing possessiveness, had he ever heard the rumors of affair between her and any other men, it was certain of a fact that he was going to throw a tantrum. However, Amelia had no idea to whom Audrey was referring to other than Patrick.

She asked in confusion, "Audrey, who else would want you dead other than Patrick?"

Audrey counted her fingers and she answered Amelia's question, "Mr. Cook and that sissy."

"That sissy?" Amelia hesitated for a moment before she guessed, "You mean Kaiden?"

"You're right! It's him!" Audrey's face was disdainful whenever she mentioned Kaiden.

Amelia could not help but break into a laughter, "It's true that Kaiden was gifted with such beautiful features. But after all, you can't deny that he has a manly character. You can't regard him as a sissy."
