Chapter 143
Cynthia was indeed thoughtless. She said haltingly with pale lips, "Madam, I''m sorry, it''s my fault."
Eve said with both kindness and majesty, "However, you can report the situation to me in time,
which means that you are loyal to me. Help me keep an eye on her, and I will give you lots of
benefits in the future, understand?"
"Okay." Cynthia said obediently.
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia''s cautious expression became resentful. She didn''t care about
the benefits Eve said. She only wanted Patrick!
In the Hopper Family.
Eve looked thoughtful. She couldn''t only rely on Cynthia. At the critical moment, she had to do it
herself.
The next day, in Roxxon Corporation.
When Amelia arrived at thepany early in the morning, she heard many people discussing about
her and Patrick.
She looked at the people around her. Not everyone looked at her sarcastically. Because there were
still some sensible people.
Some of the people who red at her had just entered Roxxon. They didn''t know that how she
worked with all her might in Roxxon and thought that she became the manager by seducing Patrick.
Others were Patrick''s admirers. They were the craziest and the most unreasonable. It would be
easier to fight with them than exining to them.
When Amelia arrived at the sales department by elevator, someone tripped her. Because she was
wearing a knee-length skirt. Amelia almost had a wardrobe malfunction when she fell to the ground.
Not only did she fall down, but her silk stockings were also scratched by the floor. Seeing her
miserable look, some people in the elevatorughed at her.
By the time Amelia got up, the elevator door had been closed. She didn''t even see the face of the
one who tripped her, so she could only suppress her indignation.
At this time, Doris of the sales department identally passed by. After seeing Amelia''s
embarrassed look, she quickly came over and said, "Amelia, what''s wrong with you?"
Amelia patted the dust on her body and smiled as if nothing had happened, "I''m fine."
Looking down at Amelia''s injured knee, Doris was so angry that she said, "You''re injured! Did those
malicious women y a prank on you?"
Amelia''s face was slightly stiff, "Have you heard about that?"
Doris puckered her mouth and said, "Now everyone in thepany is discussing about that.
Yesterday, Mr. Hopper took you to his office, and you stayed in his office for several hours. They
said that you..." Doris didn''t finish her words, because she didn''t want Amelia to know those mean
words.
Amelia lowered her head. She could not exin it
clearly.

Seeing that Amelia was unhappy, Doris quickly took her hand and walked to the department, "Don''t
worry too much. Let''s deal with your wound first."
In the president''s office.
After the secretary handed the document to Patrick, she said, "Mr. Hopper, when I took the same
elevator with Madam Amelia Ramsay today, I saw that she was tripped and fell."
Patrick stopped signing the document and his eyes turned cold, "How did she fall?"
The secretary showed him how Amelia fell to the ground with postures and said, "Anyway... She''s
quite miserable."
Patrick''s voice turned colder, "Do you know who tripped her?"
The secretary thought for a while and said, "I nced at the person''s work certificate. It''s Meggie,
the new employee of the Public Rtions Department."
Patrick put the signed document next to his hand, picked up the cup of warm coffee and took a sip.
Then he said slowly, "Ask her toe to my office."
"Okay." the secretary replied.
"Mr. Hopper, are you looking for me?" Meggie, who was standing in front of Patrick, was at a loss.
She was not a fool and she knew why Patrick asked her to go to his office.
However, she didn''t understand why she was discovered tripping Amelia. She obviously took the
opportunity to trip Amelia.
Seeing the nervousness on Meggie''s face, Patrick got up from his seat and patted her on the
shoulder. He said softly, ''Are you scared of seeing me?"
It was the first time that Meggie had been so close to Patrick. However, in such a strange situation,
she was attracted to Patrick''s smile, "Mr. Hopper, why do you ask me toe here?"
Patrick kept smiling and said, "Nothing. I just want to ask you, are you used to working here?"
Meggie thought that Patrick was going to fire her, so she said in a hurry, "Mr. Hopper, I didn''t mean
to tripped your woman. Please don''t fire me..."
"My woman?" Patrick looked confused and asked, "Who is my woman?"
Meggie said in a dull voice, "That''s... the woman who was held by you yesterday!"
Patrick seemed to have just remembered it. He smiled more brightly. Under Meggie''s puzzled eyes,
he reached out and put his arm around her waist. Then he said flirtatiously, "I''m holding you now. So
are you also my woman?"
Meggie was surprised. She was stunned for a long time. Then she blushed and said, "Mr. Hopper, I
don''t understand what you mean..."
Patrick said seductively, "In fact, you are younger and more beautiful than Amelia. I have no reason
to fall in love with her. Am I right?"
Meggie said as if she was bewitched, "Yes, I''m younger and more beautiful than her."
"Good girl." Patrick continued to say seductively, "Stay and apany me to work, okay?"
Meggie was so excited that she couldn''t even speak fluently, "Well, it''s my pleasure!"
That day, Meggie stayed in the president''s office for a long time and did note out. Some
employees were in a hurry to see Patrick, and they were all stopped by the secretary at the door.
Those employees were dissatisfied and asked why they couldn''t go in.
The secretary said mysteriously, "Mr. Hopper is working inside. He seems to be teaching a new
employee in the Public Rtions Department... Her name is Meggie. We''d better not go in and
disturb him. Otherwise, we might see something we shouldn''t see."
Patrick''s secretary couldn''t lie. In less than a day, no one paid attention to Amelia anymore and
Meggie became the new topic of people''s conversations.
After leaving the president''s office, Meggie was eager to let all the people in thepany know that
Patrick liked her and attracted all the attention for Amelia.
"Mr. Hopper." The secretary ttered Patrick, "Your trick is really brilliant."
"Really?" Patrick took out a piece of tissue paper and carefully wiped theputer mouse.
The secretary smiled without saying anything. Since Mr. Hopper didn''t want to mention it, it was
unnecessary for her to say it again.
However, people couldn''t beck of self-knowledge. Otherwise, they would never know when other
people made use of them, just like Meggie didn''t know that Patrick was making use of her.
Patrick turned over the mouse and continued to wipe it, "The new employee really has no sense of
propriety."
The secretary knew what he meant, "Mr. Hopper, do you want to fire Meggie? If there is no proper
reason, you''d better not do so, because her father is the managing director..."
