Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

If Patrick were to meet Sissi the coming Saturday, in other words, this meant that he was not going to visit Granny Hopper.

Despite remaining expressionless, Amelia murmured irritably, "So you have no other choice but to sacrifice my time now."

Patrick who did not get to pick up her words immediately asked, "What did you say?"

Amelia replied absent-mindedly, "There's nothing.

Eat first and I'll get back to you on this later."

Patrick nodded. In the next second, something came to his mind and he abruptly asked, "By the way, there's one thing that I need to ask you."

Gritting her teeth in great annoyance, Amelia put down her cutlery and asked irritably, "What's the matter?"

"Tell me honestly what had you told my secretary the other day? Why did I find numerous bottles of strange medicines on my office table today?"

"What were they in specific?"

"Some for dermatophytosis and also ulcers."

Amelia's eyes flickered yet she sounded innocent as she replied, "Uh? I told your secretary nothing else but your neck pain."

"Are you sure?" The smile at the corner of his lips had not reached his eyes. Apparently, he was not convinced by her reply.

Amelia immediately put the blame on him as she added, "Who knows you're indeed contracted with some unspeakable disease and this piece of information is further leaked to your workers. That's why they bring you the medicine to express their concern. Don't you think?"

With a crooked smile on his face, Patrick muttered, "You're the one who sleeps next to me every day. There's no other person who can know me better than you do."

"Watch your mouth. I'm not close with you at all." Amelia hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of food before she said, "I'm done with my meal. If you can excuse me, I'm going to wash my dishes now. Enjoy your meal."

Upon staring at the back of Amelia, who might as well be described as fleeing from the scene, Patrick could be certain of two things. Firstly, Amelia was the one who made up the rumor. Secondly, his secretary was the culprit who spread the rumors in the company.

However, there was no way for him to punish these two women in his life.

After all, one of them was his wife while the other one was his assistant that he entrusted with his work. Therefore, he always found himself ready to forgive their mistakes regardless.

After washing dishes, Amelia returned to her bedroom in order to avoid any contact with Patrick. She then made a call to the Sawyer's.
