Chapter 695


    Ryker casually said, "Ms Ramsay, Yesterday was the first time that you did note to work since


    the first day you became the president. I''m really not used to it."


    Amelia curled her lips. Was Ryker trying to trick her into reporting to Kaleb?


    She rolled her eyes, "Oh, yesterday my husband had suddenly decide to go to golf and I


    apanied him for a whole day. I was really too busy to do anything else, so I could only apply for


    a leave."


    Useless!


    Thepany was at its rush hour, how could Amelia still have the mood to y golf?


    Ryker sneered in his heart but he ttered, "You are really in love with each other."


    "In love?" Amelia''s delicate eyes and brows dropped, she could only mask her loneliness by saying


    so.


    However, Ryker observed her carefully and noticed the reluctance on Amelia''s face at a nce.


    Combining it with the rumors he heard from the alleys, Ryker could not helping up with the idea


    that Amelia was really unfavored.


    In the silence, only the sound of Amelia raising her hand to pick up her coffee could be heard.


    She lowered her head and took a small sip. Amelia''s brows furrowed as she said in an inaudible


    manner, "The coffee today is rather bitter."


    Ryker exined, "How could that be? I followed President Ramsay''s instructions..."


    Upon hearing that, Amelia sighed and said, "Oh? Maybe it''s because I''m sad."


    Ryker repeated, "Is your work being harsh on you?"


    Looking into Ryker''s stunned eyes, Amelia smiled and raised her hand and ced it on her heart.


    "Assistant Scott, I''m referring to... my heart."


    Ryker''s eyes trembled. For a moment, he was lost in the temperament of Amelia who pitied herself.


    But then, deep doubts followed because he did not think that he had been so close to Amelia that


    she would tell him how she felt.


    However, Amelia did not seem to have any concern. She said in annoyance, "Assistant Scott,


    please don''t look at how morous I am on the surface. In fact, I''m just living a normal life."


    Ryker said calmly, "President Ramsay, are you worn out because of all the stuff that had happened


    recently? Why are you so sentimental?"


    Amelia said gloomily, "What you didn''t know was... I don''t know how to y golf at all but Patrick


    brought me along just to shame me in front of his friends.


    I..."


    At the end of her words, Amelia choked with sobs!


    Ryker was shocked. He wanted tofort her but he knew that Patrick was a person he could not


    afford to offend.


    Amelia held her forehead in a delicate and weak way. "I am exhausted... You see, as a woman, I


    have to shoulder apany that is bing weaker and weaker day by day, on the other hand, I


    have to amodate a man who has no intention to take care of me. If it goes on like this, I''m


    really afraid that I will break down one day..."


    When Amelia looked down, a dim light shed through Ryker''s eyes. When he spoke again, his


    voice sounded different. "Although I''m limited by my ability, I''m your assistant after all. It''s my duty to


    help you. So... if you have any troubles, please just spill them out to me."


    Amelia looked up at him emotionally. The emotion in her eyes was so intense that Ryker could not


    ignore it.


    "Assistant Scott, you are so kind!" She raised her hand and took his hand hanging beside her and


    her tears fell on the back of his hand. "My life is miserable, I have never met a man as gentle and


    considerate as you in my life... Oh, no, to be exact, you''re really a gentleman."


    Under the grip of Amelia, Ryker was shocked and said, "President Ramsay! Please... please let go


    of my hand! It''s not good to be seen by others!"


    However, Amelia still held his hand tightly and said pitifully, "I just want to get some warmth and


    comfort from you. I don''t have any extra intentions. Please don''t take it to your heart."


    "But you''re obviously trying to make me misunderstand!" Ryker thought.


    Ryker was in a frenzy but he did not dare to pull his hand back directly.


    After all, Amelia was his superior. If he left a bad impression on her because of this matter and lost


    his position, how could he exin it to Kaleb?


    Just when Ryker''s face was full of sorrow and joy on the inside, Amelia had secretly let go of his


    hand.


    She wiped her tears and said sensibly, "I crossed the boundaries just now. I apologize."


    Ryker restrained his thoughts and subconsciously nced at the back of his hand which was still


    stained with tears. He said in a daze, "It''s nothing!


    It''s my job as an assistant."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Ryker immediately knew that something was wrong.


    His words were as if he was hinting to her that she could request him to do anything.


    "I''m really relieved to hearthat."


    Amelia cried out tears of joy. Seeing Amelia crying andughing at the same time was not abrupt at


    all. On the contrary, she looked beautiful.


    At Land of Fragrance.


    After a day of work, Amelia walked into the house and was greeted by Huxton''s sympathetic eyes.


    Amelia nced at him shockingly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    Huxton opened his mouth and replied, "Sir is waiting for you in the study room."


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Amelia said, "Hmm?" Then she looked up in the direction of the study room and asked, "He''s off


    work?"


    "...Yes." In fact, Patrick went home after working half a day. When he came back, he was really


    angry.


    Huxton spected that it might have something to do with Amelia.


    Amelia nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll go find him."


    In the study room.


    Amelia found that the door of the study was not closed when she stood outside the door.


    "I''ming in?" After saying that, she reached out and pushed the door open.


    Once she entered, the surrounding was dark, only the light on theputer screen shone on


    Patrick''s handsome face. It emitted a strange and gloomy atmosphere.


    Amelia frowned. "What are you doing? Why don''t you turn on the light? Yet you also closed the


    curtains?"


    As she spoke, she reached out and turned on the switch. The light in the study room was


    immediately turned on but the warmth of the light did not reach Patrick''s eyes.


    Amelia could not help but feel a little scared. Then she thought of what Huxton had said and asked


    softly, "Huxton... said you wanted to see me?"


    Patrick lifted his eyes and carefully examined her before saying, "Yes,e on in."


    When Amelia heard his gloomy tone, she did not dare to go over.


    "Can I just stand here and listen?"


    "Sure." Patrick''s eyes were frighteningly sharp but he asked in a very humane tone, "You''ve been at


    worked all day today. You must be very tired aren''t you?"


    Amelia spent a whole day in the office. Apart from her butt aching, there was nothing else that made


    her felt tired. She said, "Fortunately, I don''t have a lot


    of work so I''m not really tired."


    Hearing this, Patrick raised his eyebrow and said, "I think you misunderstood what I mean. The


    tiredness I meant refers to here."
