Chapter 345
The secretary pursed her lips and thought that she could not manage so much. "Madam Amelia
Ramsay was smashed by the shelves when she was working in the warehouse! Please go and
have a look!"
Patrick stiffened and stood up from the sofa. He left his important client and said to his secretary
urgently, "Let''s go!"
At the department store of Roxxon.
Several men worked together to move the shelves out of the way, and in a cloud of dust, they
looked at the two people pinned under the shelves, "Are you guys okay?"
It was okay for Amelia because when the shelf fell down, the administrator protected her with his
broad back.
After the shelves were removed, the administrator slowly let go of the two hands on the head of
Amelia, and he grimaced in pain.
Amelia hurriedly helped him up from the ground, and one of the staff handed him a chair. "Where do
you feel the pain? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
The administrator rested for a bit, and then he red at the staff and shouted, "Sh*T, you bastards,
I''ve told you many times that there are many things here, so you should be careful whening in
and out! Be careful! Be careful! Do you listen to me? If you hit me, it won''t be a big deal, but if you
hit Madam Amelia Ramsay, you will be... Hiss!" He was too excited and hurt his waist.
One of the staff was embarrassed and stood up to apologize. "I''m sorry. I didn''t pay attention and
identally knocked down the shelf. I also made trouble for you and Madam Amelia Ramsay..."
In the chaos, Miss secretary who heard the news and cleared her throats and shouted, "Stop
yelling, Mr. Hopper ising!"
With a higher leader in the room, the administrator was not good at lecturing staff, and was about to
stand up to greet Patrick, but was pressed by Amelia beside her to sit back in his chair. "You are not
feeling well, just sit down."
"But this..." The administrator said in a low voice, "The one who came is Mr. Hopper, and no one
dares to neglect him."
"You''re in a special situation." Amelia insisted. If it weren''t for him just now, she would have been
smashed into the brain by the shelves. So what if he sat and took a rest? Even if Patrick med
him, she would protect him.
The administrator gave a wry smile and said, "Well... To be honest, I really can''t stand straight."
Before Amelia expressed gratitude, she heard the tall man, who had been ignored by her, suddenly
spoke. "Do you mean that she has been rescued?"
It turned out that during the conversation between Amelia and the administrator, someone had
already reported the whole process to Patrick, "Yes, at the crucial moment, the administrator
blocked her with his body..."
Patrick''s eyes turned concerned, couldn''t hide his anxiety, and interrupted, "Where''s Amelia?"
"She''s inside..."
Just as the man finished speaking, Patrick had already crossed him and rushed forward.
Although the light in the warehouse was rtively dim and Amelia was at the back, Patrick was able
to recognize her at a nce. Her face was dusty and she was talking to the man next to her. She
actually didn''t care about Patrick''s arrival at all!
As he calmed down, his worry was reduced with her safety. What followed was his anger for what
she had donest night and this morning. "Amelia! If you can''t finish a small task well, what''s the
use of an employee like you who can only cause trouble?"
His sudden attack was hard for the staff around him to understand, but Amelia looked as if she had
expected it. She said coldly, "If you don''t like me, please fire me, Mr. Hopper."
Amelia''s words were not purely due to anger. Anyway, she had umted a lot of experience
over the years when she worked at Roxxon Corporation. Even if she jumped to anotherpany, it
was better to start all over again than to be called by Patrick in the name of "boss" all day long!
Hearing this, Patrick was stunned!
This woman? Was she openly challenging him now? She didn''t want her seniority at Roxxon
Corporation? She didn''t want her supervisory position? And she didn''t want all the people in sales
who were like family?
Patrick stared at the calm- looking Amelia, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth, "Take
back what you just said, or else, I will..."
"Mr. Hopper!" It was the first time the secretarydy interrupted without waiting for Patrick to finish
speaking. Because she knew that if Mr. Hopper drove Amelia away because of a moment of anger,
he would surely regret it in the future!
"What''s the matter?" Patrick turned his angry face to her.
That scary aura made the secretary think that if she said a wrong word, Patrick would fire her.
But the secretary still forced herself to say, "Madam Amelia Ramsay, as a skinny woman, did a
rough job in the morning and just got out of danger at the shelf. She must be tired and afraid now.
Boss, you are a leader and a broad-minded man. Don''t mind her making an indiscreet mistake."
Patrick was so angry that heughed. He looked back at Amelia and said, "Huh, even the secretary
who is in charge of serving me speaks for you. If you know what is good for you, take back your
previous words!"
Amelia looked at him calmly and said without being condescending, "Mr. Hopper, why does Miss
Secretary speak for me? Don''t you think you should reflect on it? The shelves fell, and no one was
dead, but the staff around me was injured at the waist. You didn''t ask someone to send him to the
hospital as soon as possible, but caught an innocent woman like me and kept scolding me. If it
weren''t for you being young, I would really think that you were senile and should resign and give up
the position of the
president!"
Once she said this, the whole room was dead silent.
So far, no one dared to talk to Patrick like that. The secretary was so surprised that she couldn''t
close her mouth, she thought she was bold enough just now, but she didn''t expect Amelia to be the
real warrior!
Patrick narrowed his eyes. To be honest, when he saw Amelia, he didn''t care about anyone else.
"I''m just mad at you!"
He looked around and ordered the employees who were still watching, "Come over here, send the
administrator to the hospital, and remember to reimburse the medical expenses to the finance
department!"
Eh? Amelia''s rebuttal actually worked? Did Mr. Hopper like it when people talk back to him?
The secretary, who was frightened by the horrible atmosphere between the two of them, rambled in
her thoughts...
The administrator was taken away and the only barrier between them was gone. Patrick took a step
closer to Amelia whom he had been looking for all night, while she responded to him with nothing
but indifference.

"All of you go out!" As soon as Patrick said so, the group of people in the warehouse instantly
dispersed and left.
Amelia wanted to leave, but Patrick stopped her with his hand. She looked sideways at him and
asked in a bad tone, "Is there anything else?"
Patrick tried to find something to talk about. "You haven''tpleted the task I told you today, have
you?"
Ameliaughed and said, "Didn''t you mean to dismiss me? Then why should I stay here and work
for you? I won''t be so dumb!"
