Chapter 370


    Then the cell phone in her pocket rang. Amelia put it through without looking at it and ced the


    phone between her shoulder and ear. "Hello, this is Amelia. Who is that?"


    "Amelia, do you know what time is it? Why don''t you go home yet?"


    "Florence? I''m busy with a report in thepany now. I''m afraid I won''t be back so soon."


    "Do you remember what day today is?"


    "I know it''s Patrick''s birthday today. Don''t worry. I''ll be home before midnight."


    With that, instead of waiting for Florence''s reply, Amelia took away the phone and put it next to the


    laptop before she continued to do her job.


    At the Land of Fragrance.


    "Midnight..." Florence had a hunch that something bad was about to happen when hearing


    Amelia''s answer.


    The next second, Patrick, who was standing behind her, asked, "What did she say to you?"


    Florence turned around and said, "She''s so busy with work that she may not be able toe back


    soon. Patrick, why don''t we have dinner first? I''m hungry."


    Patrick''s face turned cold. Amelia had spent a lot of time with Florence, so even if Patrick didn''t


    make it clear, Amelia must know that today was his birthday. Why didn''t she go home to celebrate


    his birthday instead of working godd*mn overtime?


    Seeing that Patrick was sullen, Florence said, "Patrick, why don''t you go to thepany to stay


    with her? If Amelia was going to work untilte at night, she might be in danger if she''s alone."


    "Stay with her?" Patrick''s gorgeous eyes sparkled with anger. "Have you misunderstood something,


    huh?"


    "I know you can''t be without her..."


    In front of Patrick''s impetuous face, Florence corrected herself tactfully. "Oh no, it''s Amelia who


    can''t be without you. She almost cried on the phone when she talked to me. She said that she was


    afraid of meeting something horrible when walking on the dark streets."


    Patrick snorted, but it was obvious that he had been swayed.


    Florence continued, "If I were you, I''d wish I could immediately appear in front of her. What a great


    chance it is to win over the beauty''s heart. Besides, you''re sacrificing your birthday celebration to be


    with her. She''s gonna be very moved."


    It sounded like it was a good idea. Reluctant to admit that he was tempted, Patrick said coolly,


    "Since she''s so scared, I guess I''ll have to go out of my way to stay with her."


    Seeing the eager figure, Florence snickered with her hand covering her mouth. She believed that


    soon she would be able to hold a niece or nephew in her arms.


    At Roxxon Corporation.


    Amelia rubbed her eyes to relieve the difort caused by staring at theputer for too long.


    When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one left in the sales department, which was so


    depressing.


    She looked down at the sales report, which was almost done. When Amelia was trying to exert


    great effort to finish it, some footsteps suddenly came from the door. She turned to the direction and


    found the visitor turned out to be-


    "Hobart!"


    There was a cunning smile on Hobart''s handsome face. "Uh-huh, you have finished the sales report


    I asked you to make, haven''t you?"


    Amelia looked a little embarrassed. "Ah... It''s almost finished."


    After enjoying her embarrassment, Hobart grabbed a chair in front of him and dropped on it.


    "Alright, you can continue. I''ll be waiting here."


    It was the first time for Amelia to be cornered by the boss of their partnerpany personally. She


    asked, feeling great pressure, "Isn''t yourpany holding an annual meeting?"


    Hobart narrowed his eyes. "I have to get the sales report of the past few months first so that the


    annual meeting can be carried out in a better way. Otherwise, what do you expect us to discuss?"


    Amelia gave him a soft look and said, "I didn''t prevent you from holding the annual meeting, did I?"


    "What do you think?" Hobart bluffed, without showing whether it was true.


    Amelia calmed herself down and said, "I will try my best to finish the report as soon as possible.


    Please wait a moment!"


    She returned to her desk and missed Hobart''s smiling eyes as she buried herself in her hard work.


    "Sizzle..."


    Just when Amelia had finished the report and was about to improve the forms, the lightbulbs on the


    ceiling suddenly gave a strange noise with flickering light as if it were haunted.


    "What''s going on?" Just as Amelia was puzzled, the light above her went out together, and the


    entire sales department fell into darkness immediately.


    Theputer screen was buzzing before it went dark. Amelia almost had a breakdown at that. She


    had just sorted out the sales report but had not saved it yet!


    "It seems like that the electricity is out." Hobart''s voice drifted into her ears several meters away.


    Amelia copsed in the chair and said disappointedly, "Oh, gosh. Is this a trick?"


    Noises sounded as Hobart dragged the chair, and then he said, "Let''s go."


    "Where are we going?" Amelia mumbled. The sudden disappearance of hard work would be a blow


    to everyone.


    "I''m sending you home, or do you want toe to my ce to have fun?" Hisst two words were


    suggestive.


    "No, thanks. I have a car myself." With that, Amelia stood up. When she turned around, she


    identally stumbled over a trash can under the desk. She cried out and was about to fall to


    somewhere she couldn''t see clearly.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Amelia!" Under such an urgent situation, with his outstanding hearing and quick


    response, Hobart stepped forward to grab Amelia''s arm and bring her to him. As a result, the two of


    them fell together.


    "Sh*t, it hurts so much!" Ameliained, covering her head that had been hit.


    "Miss Amelia, I was the one hit by you, alright? You''re so heavy! You''re killing me!" Hobart replied in


    a voice that was even weaker than hers.


    Amelia was at a loss for words. Her butt had identallynded on Hobart''s chest. The gesture


    was so embarrassing. "You came to me on your own. You deserve it!"


    "Hey, you brat. I saved your ass out of kindness, but you''re ming me instead?"


    That being said, with the beautifuldy on him, Hobart was not in a hurry to get up from


    Amelia. Instead, he justy there arguing with her.


    Amelia said in return, "Huh, who knows if it''s because of you that thepany''s powers off? You


    know, I''ve been working in Roxxon for so long, and this is the first time I''ve encountered a power-


    off!"


    She did not know if she was mistaken, but she had a feeling that Hobart was silent for a much


    longer time than usual after what she had said.


    "Hey, why aren''t you saying anything? Don''t tell me my guessing is correct." Amelia asked.


    After a long stretch, Hobart said, "I didn''t speak because you''re sitting on me! Sh*t, can''t you get up


    from me as soon as possible? If you keep doing that, I''m dying from suffocating."


    "Oh, alright then." Amelia picked a direction and climbed up from Hobart''s body in the dark. Then,


    she shrieked and fell back into Hobart''s embrace. "Ho... Hobart, it seems like something has


    touched my calf. Is that..."
