Chapter 609
In the face of his refusal, Amelia pouted her lips and said, "If you don''t help me, then I can only rely
on myself."
Patrick''s eyes were cold. Relied on herself? What else did she want to do with them in front of him!
"By the way, wouldn''t it be boring for you if you came here in the middle of the night and didn''t do
anything?"
Amelia really could not understand and thought. "If he hadn''te to help her, why would hee
to such a ce? Isn''t it better to stay at home and rest?"
Patrick was extremely angry but then heughed and said, "Who said I had nothing to do?
Watching you get aroused is what I want to do most at this moment."
This time, Amelia was choked by his words.
A derisive smile appeared on Patrick''s lips. He ordered, "Now, get off my leg."
The corners of Amelia''s eyes twitched. She tugged pitifully at his ck coat. "Don''t be so mean,
please go easy on me in front of so many people."
However that was not enough to change Patrick''s mind. "Get off." "Alright..."
People would only care about what they saw, they would never care about what they did not see. All
men were equally the same in this way.
With a self-deprecating smile, Amelia let go of her arms around Patrick''s neck and jumped down
from his thighs.
The skirt''s hemline wavered as she came down from Patrick''sp, she did not know how many
sceneries had she revealed.
Fortunately, Patrick''s eyes were sharp and deadly. All the other men in the box turned their heads
away and did not see what happened.
Rubbing her slightly swollen forehead, Amelia picked up two cups and a bottle of whiskey from the
coffee table.
Then she took three steps forward and poured the wine into the ss.
A momentter, she handed one of the sses to Hendrix and said with a smile, "Director
Lawrence, if I recall our agreement, as long as I drink with you to your heart''s content, you will
persuade the top management of thepany to hand over the project to Apex Construction
Corporation, right?"
After a while, Hendrix, who had not taken any
advantage of the situation managed to say, "Yes."
Amelia chuckled and said, "Then have we drank to your heart''s content? If not, let''s continue
drinking."
Hendrix''s eyes fell on the wine ss that she was holding up. As if he had made up his mind, he
took it and drank it all!
"President Ramsay, this is to wish us all the best in our cooperation. I still have something to do, so
I''ll go first."
Amelia bowed her head and sipped a mouthful of whiskey as if she had won the game. However,
she said nothing about being taken advantage of before, "Alright, Mr. Lawrence, take care."
Just as Hendrix was packing up his things and running away, Patrick said in a deep voice, "Since
you''re already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Hendrix paused and turned to look at Patrick. He asked politely and nervously, "Mr. Patrick, I''m here
to discuss a project with your wife. Do you have any suggestions or advice?"
Huh, Hendrix was being polite now. Who was the one that called himself her ''husband'' when she
pretended to be drunk on the sofa just a moment before? Amelia let out a cold smile.
"I''m not dare to give advice." Patrick lifted his foot and stomp the peanuts that had fallen to the
ground. After that, he looked at Hendrix evilly, Patrick was silently threatening him.
Hendrix froze. He felt that in Patrick''s eyes, he could not bepared to the crushed peanut.
"Mr. Patrick, if you have any instructions, just say it. I''m listening!"
"Since you want me to speak, then I''ll get straight to the point. I just don''t think your enterprise is
worthy of cooperating with the Apex Construction Corporation."
Amelia was stunned.
Hendrix was even more dumbfounded.
Patrick nced at the other five people one by one, "I''m not talking to him but to all of you who are
present."
When everyone left, there would be nothing left.
Amelia looked at this scene with disbelief. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time
surged out at this moment.
She clenched her fist and rushed to Patrick. She was not as happy as before. "Patrick, what do you
mean by this?" "Don''t shout at me," Patrick said slowly. "I''ll take it as you provoking me."
Amelia could not care less. "Do you know what I''ve done tonight would be in vain because of your
words?"
From the second she stepped into Maya Hotel, she had forced herself to tolerate!
Director Lawrence and his group had teased her, but she kept quiet about it. When they touched
her she kept quiet too!
In the end, she had to risk her life to apany them to the nightclub to have fun. All of this was
done just to ensure that she couldplete the task that was given by Jonathan which was to
secure all the projects.
But Patrick ruined all these as soon as he stepped in the room, he did not even help her, which
made her even more confused!
A great sense of frustration welled up in her heart. She was really sad. What she had tried so hard
to fight for was affected by just one decision made by Patrick.
Once he said the word ''no'', all her expectations and efforts would instantly turn into ashes!
Seeing the unwillingness on Amelia''s face, Patrick put on a softer tone and said, "Listen, they''re not
suitable for you."
Amelia said angrily, "I''m not going on a blind date. I don''t care if they are not suitable for me! What I
want is business. Do you understand how important are these businesses are in order to maintain
thepany''s operation?"
Patrick nced at her but she could not tell his emotions. "You like to be taken advantage of by
men, don''t you?"

A look of disgust shed across Amelia''s face. "Of course not! It''s just that this kind of thing is
inevitable."
"Inevitable?" Patrick thought about this word and squinted his eyes at her. "From your makeup to
clothing, which one of it isn''t carefully prepared by you? Admit it, you have the desire to seduce
them yourself."
Amelia red at him in great humiliation, she was so angry that she did not reply.
After taking out the cigarette, Patrick lit it up and put it into his mouth.
After a moment of silence, he chuckled and asked, "When did you learn how to gain benefits with
your beauty? Don''t tell me that it was Roxxon who taught you that."
Amelia felt unhappy and said, "Can''t I learn it myself?"
Without any expression, Patrick said, "I think you''re degrading yourself."
The word ''degrading'' strike Amelia straight on her heart, It made breathing difficult for her.
If she was degrading herself by keeping these people apanied, what about him being with
Sissi for these few days? Was he self-indulgencing in happiness?
She took a deep breath and told herself that it was not the right time to think about it. Amelia sat on
the single sofa opposite Patrick and put on a negotiating tone. "Mr. Hopper of Roxxon Corporation,
since you ruined the project that I was about to get, I now ask for yourpensation."
Patrick frowned. "Compensation?"
"Yes!" Amelia nodded and picked up the leather bag that was left at the corner by Director Lad. She
took out a palm-sized notebook from it. She opened it and started to read what was written in it.
"Listen up, one block of staff dormitory project offered by Director Lad can bring one hundred
thousand dors of profits to Apex Construction Corporation, 10 blocks of staff dormitory would
bring the profit of 1 million! As for Director Lawrence, he paid for an empty piece ofnd and
entrusted money to Apex Construction Corporation for the development. Now that the cooperation
is cancelled, Apex Construction Corporation will ???d to double the penalty fees, which is a total of 3
million! In addition..."
