Chapter 317


    Having no choice but to go ahead and sit on the couch, Amelia turned around when Patrick looked


    up at her.


    She came to him in such a hurry because of the cemetery matter, right?


    It looked like... she had figured it out?


    After making him wait in the study for so longst night, it would be better to ignore her for a while.


    With this in mind, Patrick continued to attend to his business, pretending not to see Amelia.


    Amelia waited for a long time and suddenly realized that waiting like this was not the way to go.


    What was Patrick doing to buy the cemetery? Was it to make her bow down and beg him? Since


    that''s the case... she would just go along with his idea!


    Getting up, Amelia walked over to Patrick''s body, and seeing that he was still staring at the


    computer screen without looking away, she made a bold decision to just move hisptop away!


    If it were anyone else, Patrick would have been furious, but when it was Amelia, it all became easier


    to ept.


    He leaned his back on the leather seat and watchedfortably as Amelia made her next move.


    In that case, let her be frank!


    She walked over to where he had ced hisptop before and, to Patrick''s surprise, took the


    initiative to take both of his hands and wrap them around her waist and said, "I have something to


    discuss with you!"


    Patrick''s expression suddenly turned wicked as he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and


    asked, "What are you doing? Want me to y with you?"


    Amelia was annoyed, "I''m not role-ying with you right now! I''m serious!"


    "Are you serious about asking me to y your rules?" Patrick was still teasing her.


    Pouting her lips, Amelia tried to be patient and said, "I''ll just be straightforward. Can you withdraw


    from thepetition for the cemetery?"


    Once Hobart and Patrickpete, it would be as impossible to clean up the mess as two lions


    fighting. If they both raised their bids wildly at the auction, she would not be able to buy thend


    even if she sold her shares of Apex Construction Corporation or sold the entirepany!


    The only way out of this was to dissuade Patrick from thepetition so that Hobart, without a


    competitor, would surely lose interest in the cemetery, and her pressure would be minimized at


    once!


    "You want me to quit?" Patrick met her worried eyes and said cruelly, "No, impossible!"


    Amelia said cautiously, "Just take it as a good thing that I owe you. Lend me money and I''ll take it to


    the auction. We''re the couple. There''s no need to do this, right?"


    Patrick only felt that these words were extremely ironic. Since they were the couple, why didn''t she


    rely on him more? Why did he have to force her toe to him?


    "So, do you still want to sell the shares of Apex Construction Corporation?" he asked.


    She sighed. "I won''t sell it... Anyway, you don''t want me to sell it!"


    Patrick''s expression softened a little. This stupid woman''s status in The Ramsay Family was


    already very low, if she sold her shares, it would be even worse for her in The Ramsay Family in the


    future. He said, "I agree."


    Amelia was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. "Did you agree to withdraw from the


    competition?"


    Patrick nced at her overjoyed face and smiled faintly. "Yeah," he said.


    Amelia wanted to prepare him mentally: "But this time it might cost you a lot of money."


    Patrick looked at her incredulously, "Who am I to you?"


    Amelia felt uneasy and asked, "Husband?"


    Patrick was upset. Why was she using a questioning tone?


    Well... it was better for her to have this knowledge than not!


    "It''s only right for my wife to spend my money, and besides, it''s the only thing I can do for your


    mother."


    Amelia was so moved by his words that she wanted to cry, but in order not to be noticed by him,


    Amelia reached around his neck and rested her head on his chest, feeling the warmth of his body,


    "Thank you, hank you so much..."


    He sometimes showed tenderness, the dominance to make her heart flutter, she promised herself


    not to fall in love with him, but she still could not control it...


    Patrick kissed her ear and said in a husky voice, "But I''d like to ask for a little rewards first, now."


    Amelia took his reckless hand away from her chest and said glumly, "Don''t think about that stuff in


    such a cozy moment, okay?"


    Patrick said unjustly, "But that''s my way of expressing warmth."


    "You jerk!" Amelia red at him, then left his body, grabbed her bag, and walked away...


    "Reaching your goal and running away is pretty slick!" Patrick looked regretfully at his hand, missing


    the warmth of her chest.


    At the sales department.


    Amelia returned to her department with a big smile on her face after solving her biggest worry.


    Without her right- hand man these days, Lily Seth was so busy that she thought she was


    hallucinating the second she saw Amelia.


    Amelia called "Lily Seth" twice before Lily Seth hesitantly asked, "Amelia, you''re finallying to


    work?"


    Doris echoed, "Amelia, many regr customers are looking for youtely. I can''t handle it at all!"


    Amelia felt embarrassed and said, "I''m sorry, everyone. I''m still on vacation."


    The sales department fell into a dead silence.


    Amelia didn''t know how to do it because everyone was eager for her toe back to work.


    She reassured everyone, "But I''ll be back as soon as I can."


    Lily Seth took advantage of what she said and asked, "Then... tomorrow?"


    Amelia gave her an answer in silence.

    Knowing that she could note back to work for the time being, Lily Seth sighed sadly.


    "Oh yes!" Doris suddenly thought of something and immediately went back to her seat and found a


    beautiful envelope and handed it to Amelia.


    Amelia was confused, "What is this?"


    Doris said, "This was sent up by the security guard yesterday, saying it was something for you, and


    I was thinking when to call you toe and pick it up."


    On the way home, Amelia opened the envelope out of curiosity and saw a movie ticket and an


    invitation card.


    She opened the invitation card and saw "Shawn Haward" on it, which made her surprised. It turned


    out that tomorrow night was the premiere of his new movie, and Shawn issued this invitation to ask


    her to participate in it.


    In a sense, Amelia and Shawn had a "special friendship", Shawn was an actor she had always


    admired, he had sent the precious invitation and movie tickets, if she did not attend, it seemed not


    good.


    Unfortunately, there was only one ticket, otherwise, she could have gone to the movie with Patrick.


    What should she do...


    At that moment, a phone call interrupted Amelia''s worries and she looked at the screen of her


    phone, it was Daniel.


    She answered and said quickly, "Daniel, I''m officially informing you that my shares in Apex


    Construction Corporation... are not for sale!"
