Chapter 144
"Firing Meggie can''t solve the problem, I want to fire those top managers in the Human Resources
Department who have causal attitudes towards work.
Because the new employees they hired were all gossipy and could only reply on their family
backgrounds.
"Who do you want to fire?" The secretary asked.
Rubbing the tissue into a ball and throwing it into the trash can at his feet, Patrick said slowly, "The
deputy manager of the Human Resources Department."
Firing the deputy manager could give the Human Resources Department a warning. It wouldn''t
effect the department nor make old employees unsatisfied.
The secretary nodded, then nced at the mouse in Patrick''s hand and asked in confusion, "Mr.
Hopper, isn''t this mouse quite clean?"
Patrick replied casually, "Meggie touched it, so I wipe it."
The secretary was speechless.
Then, Patrick threw the mouse into the trash can and said to the secretary, "Forget it, send me a
new one."
In the evening, in the Land of Fragrance.
Patrick walked into the living room and heard the sound of the cooker hood in the kitchen. He put
down his briefcase and walked to the kitchen. Then he found that Amelia was preparing dinner. The
dress she wore was still the one she put on before going to work in the morning, which outlined her
slim waist, sexy bottom, and slender legs.
Hearing the footsteps, Amelia turned around naturally, then Patrick saw the wound on her knee.
His face darkened as he strode over and grabbed the egg-striking machine in her hand. He frowned
and asked, "Why don''t you use a band-aid?"
Amelia said calmly, "I''m not that seriously injured. Give me the egg-striking machine. I need to
cook."
Her expression was a little indifferent. Patrick asked unhappily, "Are you angry with me?"
Amelia didn''t say anything, but her expression and movements were indifferent.
Patrick held her in his arms and said, "Are you ming me for causing you so much trouble?"
"No. I''m suffering from dysmenorrhea, so I''m a little depressed."
But in Patrick''s eyes, her depressed expression was more like a silent protest.
He felt a little annoyed. He didn''t deliberately cause trouble for her work. After knowing that she was
tripped, he immediately took some measures to help her. Wasn''t that enough?
Patrick lifted her delicate chin and asked with a poker face, "You''re lying to me."
There was a hint ofint in the eyes of Amelia, "So what do you want from me?"
Hearing this, Patrick suddenly became silent.
Yeah, what did he want from her?
After marring Amelia, his lifepletely changed. No matter he treated Amelia well or badly, he felt
ufortable.
He wanted to live a sweet life with Amelia, but he loved another woman in his heart, a woman that
he might never forget in his life.
Patrick blinked his eyes which were filled with mixed emotions. Then he returned to normal and
said, "Whether you are obedient or not, I can see you through at a nce. Don''t try to fool me with
a fake expression. Understand?"
Amelia''s heart beat so fast. Patrick was more possessive than she thought.
ncing at the egg-striking machine, Patrick asked with interest, "Mrs. Hopper, do you know how to
make omelette rice?"
Amelia answered quickly, "It''s easy to cook. Do you want to eat it?"
"Yeah, I want to eat." Patrick said ndly. When he thought that Sissi was good at making omelette
rice, he suddenly missed her.
Amelia nodded and took the egg-striking machine from his hand, "I''ll cook it."
During the meal, seeing that Patrick liked eating omelette rice so much, Ameliaughed and said, "I
didn''t expect that you like eating this." "What''s wrong?" Patrick''s voice raised. He felt as if
Amelia was doubting why he liked Sissi.
Amelia only mentioned it unintentionally and did not know what Patrick was thinking. When she saw
that Patrick was unhappy, she said in a hurry, "You disliked the ordinary dishes I ordered in the
restaurant yesterday. But you like eating omelette rice so much. Is it too delicious?"
Patrick said reflexively, "It''s not as delicious as the one she made."
Amelia asked, "Who?"
Patrick realized that he had said something wrong, and he said with guilty eyes, "I mean, it''s not as
delicious as the one Auntie Li made."
"Really?" Amelia was a little doubtful.
Because Cynthia was fired, there was a nanny called Anntie Li who came to their house to clean up
and cook every weekend. But did Auntie Li make omelette rice for Patrick?
Amelia couldn''t remember it.
A weekter.
During this period of time, Amelia''s life in Roxxon turned to peaceful again. It seemed that it was
just her illusion that someone tripped her that day.
She paid attention to what people in thepany were discussing about these days. It was said
that Patrick liked Meggie so much recently. Meggie stayed in the president''s office all day and even
ate on the same desk with Patrick.
Hearing this, Amelia was both relieved and shocked because of Patrick''s means to deal with
women.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for Meggie. Obviously, she did not know that the
one who tripped her was Meggie!
During the break, Amelia stopped working and went to make tea in the tea room.
When she stood in front of the water fountain to pour water, a group of women quietly gathered
around her. They all looked unfriendly as if they wanted to fight with Amelia.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Amelia thought that they were colleagues waiting in line for water, so she was about to leave
quickly. Unexpectedly, one of them grabbed her arm and stopped her from leaving.
Amelia was shocked and looked up. She didn''t know the girl who grabbed her arm. It was not until
she nced at her work card that she knew the girl was Meggie.
There were three girls who apanied Meggie, all of whom were from the Public Rtions
Department. They were beautiful, but their faces were all malicious at the moment.
Amelia looked at them quietly, waiting for them to exin their intentions.
"Are you the woman who was abandoned by Mr. Hopper?" Before Meggie could speak, the big-
eyed girl beside her spoke first.
Amelia didn''t agree with the word "abandoned". She said, "Mr. Hopper is just my leader in the
company. We have no other rtionship and he didn''t abandon me.
Meggie, who was holding Amelia''s arm, said hypocritically, "Amelia, I know you''re finding an excuse
deliberately. In fact, I came to apologize to you. Now I''vepletely reced you. I really feel sorry
for you."
Amelia nced at the blue veins on the back of Meggie''s hand and said with a faint smile, "Is this
how you apologize to me?"
"Oh! Look at what I''ve done!" Meggie pretended to be surprised and quickly loosened her hand. But
there was a red mark on Amelia''s wrist because she pinched Amelia with great strength.
