Chapter 694


    It was proven that Patrick had been a skilled maniptor after all. Amelia, on the other hand, was


    just his follower that had been fooled by his sugar-coated words.


    The next day.


    Feeling soreness at her back and waist, Amelia walked out from her room just to find out that


    Patrick was enjoying his morning tea rxingly downstairs. She could not help cursing, "B*stard!"


    She had not expected that Patrick''s proposal for the win-win situation was to put her nakedly in the


    bathtub filled with the entire bottle of wine...


    He described it as spice for intimidation of spouses.


    In the end, it seemed like she was the one who gained nothing from this ''win-win situation''. Not only


    she had pledged herself to Patrick, she had lost the bottle of wine that she had been begging for.


    Turning around, Amelia was surprised to find out that Huxton had already returned home. Standing


    beside Patrick, he was ready to serve him tea.


    After changing into her working attire, Amelia came downstairs exhaustedly.


    The stirring sound of hering downstairs


    immediately drew attention of both men.


    However, each of them had been tellingpletely different messages from their gaze. There was


    victorious satisfaction in Patrick''s eyes while on the other hand, Huxton''s gaze was deadly cold as if


    he had been waiting for this very moment to confront her.


    Under the pressure of sight from two men, Amelia could not help but felt suffering.


    She smiled and pretended to sound normal, "After one night sleep, I''m feeling so hungry."


    Hearing this, Patrick felt sympathetic for her. He nced at Huxton who was standing by his side


    and ordered, "Madam is hungry, get her some breakfast."


    There was a trace of anger shing across Huxton''s face. He had no other choice but to follow


    Patrick''s order. Huxton shot a meaningful nce at Amelia before he walked pass her in direction of


    the kitchen.


    Amelia scrubbed her nose. It seemed like Huxton had been meeting Scarlett the previous night. In


    that case, this meant that her lie was instantly exposed after the two of them talked to each other.


    Despite her intention was good, after all she did not feel quite right of lying to Huxton.


    In this case, she might as well take the initiative to apologize to him.


    Considering the fact that she was Patrick''s wife anyway, most probably Huxton would have forgiven


    her.


    Feeling optimistic, Amelia turned around and followed Huxton to the kitchen.


    "Do you want some tea?" Patrick was about to pick up the tea cup when he saw Amelia leaving him


    behind.


    Seeing this, he was confused yet annoyed. It appeared to him that Amelia would stick with Huxton


    every time when Huxton was back.


    On the other side.


    Noticing the sound of footsteps approaching, Huxton abruptly made a halt.


    Turning around, he stared at Amelia in an unfriendly manner and said, "Madam, are you here to


    supervise my work?


    "Of course not!" While yawning, Amelia said, "I''m just worried about you! You had not returnedst


    night..."


    Huxton interrupted ruthlessly, "Madam, please stop being pretentious."


    Amelia covered her heart in gesture of heartache as she said, "As a butler, how could you interrupt


    me when I''m talking?"


    Hearing this, Huxton seemed lost in his words.


    However, it was not long that she continued enthusiastically, "But it''s okay, I can forgive you. In


    return for my forgiveness, you have to forgive my prank on you yesterday too!"


    Huxton clenched his teeth. He had never seen such a shameless person before.


    Seeing that Huxton had lost in words, again she asked innocently, "Oh yeah, how''s the progress


    between you and Dr. Jagger?"


    Huxton turned his face away and refused to answer.


    Amelia did not seem to be offended by his ignorance. It was obvious that she had already used to


    his reply in silence.


    Just as she was about to retreat, Huxton abruptly added, "She might need to take another two days


    off..."


    Amelia asked without hesitation, "Huh, why?"


    "What do you think?" Huxton growled at her with his face flushed.


    Amelia could feel his anger from distance. After pausing for a while, she murmured, "To rest?"


    She thought of something.


    Looking at the back of Huxton who had just leaving to the kitchen, Amelia was stunned. She


    wondered if


    Huxton had actually taken Scarlett down impulsively.


    Right at this time, a man who appeared out of nowhere struck at her head and asked, "What''s on


    your mind?"


    Amelia was slow to respond to such a sudden attack. It took her some time to cover her head and


    nced at Patrick in anger, "Are you going to be responsible if I be a retard?"


    Patrick replied in casualty, "I don''t see you being smart even before I hit you."


    At that very moment, she wished she could shred him into pieces!


    As soon as Amelia clenched her fists, she heard Patrick asking, "Aren''t you going to bete to


    work?"


    Amelia was shocked upon being reminded. Acting on her reflex action, she took a nce on her


    watch.

    "Oh no!" she yelled.


    Thanked to his unbridled wildness the previous night, she had mistakenly turned off her rm this


    morning. It took her great effort in struggling to wake up. Otherwise, she would have to take another


    day off.


    "I guess you deserve the title of the most irresponsible chairperson in this world." With his brows


    raising, Patrick mocked.


    Amelia did not bother to respond to his sarcasm. She turned around intending to leave.


    Realizing what she was up to, Patrick reached out one finger and hooked on her cor from the


    back.


    As a result, Amelia was not able to move. In the event if she forcibly resisted his force, she would


    only end up strangling herself.


    The evil man who had restrained her movement gracefully said, "It won''t take you long to finish your


    breakfast first before you go."


    Amelia began to suffer from deprivation of air. With her face flushed red, she said, "No! I''m running


    out of time... Let go of me!"


    At this time, Huxton came over with some prepared breakfast. All he could see was that Patrick was


    holding Amelia''s cor from her back forcefully.


    Huxton smiled andmented revengefully, "Sir, outsiders might be mistaken you as walking Rick."


    ''Walking Rick''...


    "Does that mean Huxton is calling me as dog now?


    Should I bark in response to his words?" Amelia thought dejectedly. She sulked, "Hopper, you''d


    better let go of me. Otherwise, I''m not going to sleep with you from today onwards!"


    This sentence had immediately sent Patrick and Huxton into silence.


    At Apex Construction Corporation.


    ''Ah! D*mn it!"


    Upon recalling what had she blurted in front of Patrick and Huxton, Amelia mmed the working


    desk with her documentation files in frustration. Right this moment, she wished that she could


    simply bury her head in the sand in humiliation.


    Knock. Knock. Knock.


    Upon hearing this, Amelia tried to gather herself by rubbing her hands against her face. She then


    said, "Pleasee in!"


    It was Ryker who opened the door and brought her a cup of coffee routinely.


    "Oh, it''s you, Ryker." Amelia smiled, "Thanks for taking care of me every day."


    Putting the coffee on Amelia''s table, Ryker replied formally, "President Ramsay, you''re most


    wee."


    Amelia was stirring the coffee with a teaspoon while another hand of her was resting under her chin.


    She nced at Ryker and asked, "Had anything happened yesterday when I was not here?"


    "Nothing happened." Ryker shook her head in reply.


    "That''s good." Amelia smiled in relief.
