Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

"He's going back with you anyway. You don't have to come and look fortroubles now."

"You sound as if you're the one who's going to decide Milton's whereabouts. Don't you forget that I'm his girlfriend."

"Of course I remember. But do you believe that I can also talk him into breaking up with you right away?"

The other end of the phone fell into momentary silence.

Not getting any response from Maryanne, Amelia could not help but scoff, "I have not forgotten what had you done to me before. I know that he likes you, that's why I choose not to air your dirty laundry. However, I have to warn you that I'm not going to tolerate with your craziness endlessly."

Maryanne sneered, "Go ahead and tell him the truth so that he can break up with me! However, I doubt that Aunt Sierra is going to let go of this matter easily."

"What does this has to do with her?"

"Think about it. You are well aware that I'm a malicious woman from the very beginning. Even so, you decided to remain in silence and let your buddy to continue dating with me. What will Aunt Sierra think of you if she were to learn of this one day? I'm sure that she is going to blame you for not warning his son earlier. To be frank, I kind of looking forward to what will happen between the three of you at that time."

Frowning, Amelia said, "Don't you know that they treat you as part of their family and they sincerely care for you? How can you return their kindness with such an evil thought?"

"I won't push you down the stairs at all if I were to be a kind person. Don't assume every woman to be as kind as you. Your kindness is going to bring you down one day. In the worst case, you're going to disappoint an elder who hopes for nothing but her son's happiness."

Amelia could feel her heart sinking. She was finally convinced that her kindness was not going to get repaid with kindness for Maryanne.

"Amelia, what I'm trying to tell you is that there are only two options left for you. You can choose to get rid of me now or you can stay away from Milton as far as possible. Who knows I might be moved by your effort and decide to repay them with kindness from now onwards!"

With that said, Maryanne hung up the call.

Amelia could not help scolding, "What a psycho!"

Milton glanced up and asked concerningly, "What's wrong?"

Amelia struggled to look for a reasonable explanation all in a sudden. With her gaze flickering, she muttered, "Um, it's a client who had entered into an oral agreement with us earlier. He suddenly called to say that he had changed his mind."

Upon hearing this, Milton could not help feeling relieved, "I was thinking of something much worse than this a while ago. You should leave it though. After all, Apex Construction had successfully secured the planning project at Eastern District. I'm sure that this is a huge project that is going to keep you busy for some time. Speaking of this project, had Patrick learnt of this news?"

"He was aware of it."

Hearing this, Milton could not help but let out a sarcastic laugh, "I must be asking the obvious. You're spouses after all. There's no doubt that he knows of this good news. It will not surprise me to know that he has invested into this project personally."
