Chapter 562
Two dayster.
The holidays wasing to an end. Amelia was going back to work. However, Huxton told her that
he could not let her out without Patrick''s order.
Amelia frowned. "Wait. Didn''t he tell me that as long as you or the man in ck followed me, I could
go out? Why did he change the rules now?"
Huxton said, "Before Mr. Hopper left, he told me that if he wasn''t here, you would use the
opportunity to run away. So he ordered me to keep an eye on you. I thought about it and decided
that the best way to keep an eye on you would be just to keep you at home."
Amelia was depressed. "Mr. Fuller, I have to start working from today. If you don''t let me out, my
position as the chief manager will be handed over. And what about my sry? I still have to make
money to support the family!"
Huxton thought in his heart, it was really unreliable for Amelia to ''make money to support the family''.
Amelia felt that this statement was not very convincing as well. She said, "I mean, I need to make
some pocket money so that I don''t have to spend
your master''s money on everything."
Huxton said faintly, "Mr. Hopper is willing to let you spend his money."
Amelia rolled her eyes and said, "Well, why don''t you call and ask him if he agrees to let me go to
work?"
Huxton thought it might work so he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Patrick''s number.
After a while, Huxton took his phone off his ear and said seriously, "I can''t reach him."
Amelia frowned her brows. "What do you mean by ''can''t reach him''?"
Huxton says doubtfully: "His phone is probably out of battery..."
"Probably?" Amelia expressed her doubts. She did not want any ident to happen to Patrick.
"I think he must be so busy that he forgot to charge his phone. I''ll call him again." Huxton looked
calm but he was worried as well.
Amelia mumbled to herself, "Is it okay for him to go to such a dangerous ce alone?"
Just like what Eve had said on the phone, Patrick had never live a suffering life since he was a kid.
Now he had to go to such a remote mountainous area andndslide would probably happen at any
time. So, she was really worried about it.
Huxton said, "Madam, don''t worry. Our manpower and supplies have been there for the past two
days. I believe Mr. Hopper will return home after he confirmed that the secretary is safe."
Amelia nodded, "We can take turns to call him.
Maybe his phone will be connected at any time."
"Yes!" When Huxton saw Amelia turned and readied to go upstairs, he paused and suddenly asked,
"Madam, can you promise me one thing?"

Amelia turned and asked, "What''s the matter?"
Huxton seemed to have made up his mind. He twitched his lips and said, "After you finished work,
please return home immediately. Don''t put me in a difficult position."
Amelia''s eyes opened widely, "Did you agree to let me go to work?"
Huxton looked at her and said, "I hope you won''t let me regret the decision that I made today."
At Roxxon Corporation.
"Good morning, madam!"
"Madam, you look good today."
"Madam..."
As soon as Amelia stepped into thepany''s lobby, she was stunned by the endless greetings.
After greeting them one by one, Amelia was about to take one of the elevators to the sales
department. However, she found that all the employees at the elevator were avoiding her.
When the door was opened, they greeted her, "Madam, after you."
Amelia felt strange and asked, "Aren''t you going with me?"
"No, no, we can wait for the next elevator." Everyone shook their heads at the same time. If they
identally squeezed Amelia in the elevator, they would get themselves into trouble.
Amelia blinked and stood in the empty elevator to make the final confirmation. "Then I go first?"
Everyone waved their hands and said, "Sure, madam, have a good day!"
Amelia reached out to press the button on the floor where the ''Sales Department'' was located in
hesitation.
Amelia just realized that taking the elevator alone was quite a nice experience. She could even lean
against it. No wonder Patrick had his own elevator.
Amelia was slightly lost in thought when she thought about Patrick. She was wonder how was he
doing.
Meanwhile, in Timothy Vige, at a certain area of the damaged mountain road.
The head of the construction team held a hand drawing n and ran to the leader of the local
officer. He show the officer the n while saying, "Sir, we''re in the middle of the copsed mountain
road. We''re now working on a wooden bridge which can be used by rescue team..."
The officer''s face looked sullen. "It''s just a wooden bridge. It seems not secure."
The mountain road was called a mountain road because it was built halfway up the mountain. If the
wooden bridge was broken, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The construction team leader said, "As long as we limit the number of people crossing the birdge at
one time, it shouldn''t be a big problem."
"But..." The officer still felt timid with their decision.
"But what? Just say if you scared!" Then, an impatient voice interrupted.
The officer immediately red behind him. When he saw that it was Patrick, his face changed
dramatically and he asked politely, "Mr. Hopper, what''s your opinion?"
"The incident had have been happened for four days now. If the vigers don''te out, it means
that they may lose their food supplies at any time. If we don''t deliver supplies to them on time, it
would be useless by then." After saying that, Patrick nced at the local authority coldly.
The officer had lost his anger because of Patrick''s words. He turned around and shouted at the
head of the construction team, "What are you waiting for? Lead the way!"
"Okay!" The head of the construction team looked at Patrick with relief and went to do the work.
After a pause, the officer said to Patrick with a smile, "Mr. Patrick, you''re so kind to your employees.
In fact, you can leave the rescue job to us. We will definitely send your staff back to Northville
safely."
Patrick did not show any mercy and said, "Leave it to you? I''m afraid you''ll just send their corpses to
me."
The officer was shocked. Gosh, he could not tter Patrick and even made Patrick more angry.
When he looked up, he saw Patrick walking straight towards the wooden bridge. The officer
immediately became anxious. He quickly held up his huge stomach and stood in front of Patrick.
"Mr. Hopper, what do you want to do?"
Patrick narrowed his eyes. "To cross the bridge."
The officer said nervously, "You''d better not go there. Just wait here or wait at the foot of the
mountain. I will be responsible for rescuing your staff."
Patrick said coldly, "Did you misunderstand something? Who said I would take them back? They
haven''t finished their mission in the vige yet."
The officer was so nervous that he could not exin clearly, "But what if... what if you fall, how could
I exin it to Master Hopper and other people?"
