Chapter 990
When Amelia heard his disappointed tone, a thought of Patrick saying, "Don't you think it's very romantic?" flashed through her mind.
This was probably the difference in how they view an issue.
Patrick thought it was romantic but for her, it meant he was being clingy!
At the moment, what she wanted the most was to stay away from him.
Amelia took a deep breath and made it clear to Patrick, "Patrick, you don't need to do such a thing at all. In my eyes, you're always superior and domineering. Your behaviour today makes me feel...you're not...you..."
Patrick's back stiffened and he squeezed his hand that was on Amelia's shoulder, "Do you think I want to do this? It's you who changed me and make it sway away from who I am!"
Upon hearing this, Amelia's heart ached as if it had been stabbed. It hurt so much that she could not ignore it at all!
She had indeed observed the change in Patrick's behaviour.
But the more she saw, the more frightened she was.
She was afraid that history would repeat itself on her without her knowing it.
Since the incident with Sissi, she had tried her best to get rid of her feelings for him, but what he did was shaking her up.
Sometimes she was so scared that she would make the same mistake that she would constantly use what happened with Sissi to remind herself to be alert.
As they say, a great man could not brook a rival. She could not tolerate Sissi's behaviors too.
Although it was a place away from the employees, the dispute between the two still drew the attention of some of the employees who went for a toilet break.
Patrick turned and held Amelia's hand. After squeezing it in his palm, he said loudly, "Mrs.
Hopper, let's go home!"
Patrick did this because he was sure that Amelia would not shake him off him in front of the employees of the Apex Construction Corporation.
If she did so, the headlines for Apex Construction Corporation the next day would be what had happened to their marriage instead of Kingston apologizing to the Apex Construction Corporation in front of the media reporters.
This was absolutely a piece of bad news for Amelia, who was eager to bring the Apex Construction Corporation back on track.
What she needed was to show that they were very in love with each other, so that the investors could continue on investing in the corporation with confidence.
Patrick was right, very right indeed. As the employees' greeted Amelia, Amelia had to face them with a smile. Then she raised her hand and hug Patrick's arm to show an expression saying "we are a loving couple".
At the company, she was not the only Ramsay here. The whole Ramsay Family and other relatives were by her side with their intentions hidden.
If she made one mistake, she would be torn apart by these people hiding in the dark.
Who knew if the one walking past was working for Kaleb?
"Calm down, you're hurting me," Patrick turned his head and whispered in her ear.
His words made Amelia tighten her fingers before relaxing them.
Seeing that she wrinkled his sleeves, she could not help but look at him apologetically. "I..." "Shh, I understand." Patrick winked at her.
Amelia felt relieved all of the sudden.
The truth was, Patrick was afraid that Amelia would leave him. As for Amelia, she was afraid that Patrick would leave her too.
If he left her, she would suffer a lot more loss than he did!
When they got in the car, a piece of tissue suddenly appeared in Amelia's field of vision.
Patrick's pleasant voice then rang out. "Take it."
Amelia touched her dry lips and said, "No."
There was a hint of sharpness in Patrick's voice. "I'm not giving you a choice."
Amelia had no choice but to take it. She intended to wipe her forehead, but when she really wiped it, she found that she was sweating a lot.
"That's too exaggerating, isn't it? " Patrick spoke out exactly what Amelia was thinking at this moment.
It was really exaggerating!
All she did was just imagining how it would be for the rumors to be spreading around, and she was sweating to this degree.
The next second, Patrick lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "By the way, I just noticed that a female employee who walked past us looking at you with hatred in her eyes."
Amelia immediately looked at him and asked anxiously, "Are you sure she's looking at me with hatred?"
Patrick nodded and said in a deep voice, "I think she had a crush on me. That's why she doesn't like you."
"Jesus! Can't you stop talking about such useless things?" Amelia shouted angrily.
She thought she could rely on Patrick's to find out the traitors working as undercover by her side for her!
Who knew that Patrick would only spend his attention on which employee was interested in him.
Amelia asked angrily, "Patrick, I think this is the real reason why you came here to pick me up, isn't it?"
Patrick answered with a "huh?", to show that he did not understand what she meant.
Amelia said with disdain, "Aren't you tired of the beauty in Roxxon Corporation, so you come to our Apex Construction Corporation to search for other beauties? Its obvious for me to say so as you're a person who thinks with the lower half of your body..."
Patrick looked at her with a faint smile and it successfully stopped her from going on.
All of a sudden, he reached out his hand and pinched her chin. Amelia who was assaulted had no time to react at all.
He stroked her chin with his thumb and said in a serious tone, "Isn't the only beauty in the Apex Construction Corporation sitting right in front of me?"
"Ahem!" Amelia admitted that she was pleased by what he had said.
She blushed and said, "You're making no sense".
As for Patrick, he accepted it calmly. He said with a slight smile, "I am making no sense, but aren't you a beauty that makes others lose their senses? Aren't we perfect together?"
"A beauty who makes others lose their sense?" Amelia could not help but want to ask, "Where did you learn all these?"
Patrick's expression became uneasy. He said in a rough voice, "Well, you should stop asking!"
Seeing him being so bashful, Amelia could not help but wanted to know more. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
At the same time, a strange thought popped into her mind. "Hey! Don't tell me that you're trying to get rid off your physical loneliness on a sleepless night
with romance novels?"
Patrick's face darkened. "You're thinking too much!"
Amelia looked at him with pity. "Then why do you have to pull a dark face?"
"I'm not pulling a dark face. My face has always been like this!" Patrick retorted.
Amelia then answered with a "sure", "Then are you reading romance novels that provide you with all these pickup lines?" She continued to question him.
Patrick gritted his teeth and blurted out, "N-O!"
Amelia could not help laughing. "If that's not the case, then what are you exaggerate about?"
