Chapter 725
Amelia then stood upright and nodded apologetically to Kaleb and the rest.
After that, she reached out and pushed open the office door, inviting them inside and said,
"Everyone, let''s talk inside. I''ll let Mr. Scott make a cup of coffee for everyone. He makes great
coffee, so good that it makes me go, ''Hmm...'' The tastes linger on you!"
Noticing the intoxicated expression on Amelia''s face at the mention of Ryker, Kaleb could not help
but feel a chill down his spine.
Recently, whenever Amelia was brought up on the topic, Ryker was either absent-minded or would
avoid talking about her. Once, he even told Kaleb that Amelia was finding it difficult to be in front of
her husband and about how pitiful she was!
Pitiful?
Was it appropriate to use such an adjective to describe the enemy?
Kaleb understood that Ryker was young, and he also agreed that Amelia was a beautifuldy.
However, both good and evil could not coexist. They were plotting against Amelia''spany, so
how could Ryker have mercy and feel sympathetic to the
opponent?
What was more, what happened the previous day was downright outrageous!
Though Amelia had been working under Ryker''s nose all day, Ryker still had no idea about the
arrangements Amelia and Jonathan made for the meeting. Did his brain, eyes, and ears all
malfunction because of Amelia?
And right then, after hearing Amelia praise the coffee Ryker made, the already raging anger in
Kaleb''s chest then burst into monstrous mes of ire.
It was all Ryker''s fault! His negligence had caused them their inability to respond to the project on
the east zone!
He heard that Amelia had pulled Sawyer and Kaiden under her wing, and this was enough to turn
the tide around Apex Construction Corporation''s situation.
At first, Kaleb had joined forces with the rest of the directors and went against Jonathan and Amelia
to fight for power and influence. Later Jonathan and Amelia had the support of another two big
shots, the defensive wall that they had built and erected against them was blown apart in an instant!
To make the matter worse, Amelia had pulled them into thepany by herself, which was enough
for her to gain poprity amongst the existing
employees!
When they were at work this morning, Kaleb had even overheard more than one person praising
Amelia for her effective capability.
After all, with the investment from Sawyer, they could miraculouslye back to the game even if
on the verge of copsing!
And because of that, Apex Construction Corporation''s employees were so delighted that they even
selectively forgot about the rumoured divorce between Amelia and Patrick!
How frightening was the power of worship for a single person!
And Kaleb was well-aware of this.
It was because of this reason that he became even more resentful of Ryker''s ipetence and
obsession!

With these thoughts shing in his mind, he forced a smile at Amelia and said, "President Ramsay,
you''re too polite. We''re here to congratte you on taking over the project in the eastern district.
Why are you apologizing to us? You''re thepany''s saviour!"
Amelia smiled and looked up at Ryker, who was sorting out files in her office, and said, "Ryker, see
who''s here?"
Upon hearing her, Ryker raised his head frantically.
He then found Kaleb ring back at him, which made him break out in a cold sweat. He managed
to cry out in a low voice, "President Ramsay, and all the directors, good morning..."
Kaleb snorted inaudibly, no longer taking Ryker as one of his people.
At such a sight, Ryker''s smile froze, and he stepped aside awkwardly.
Amelia thought the tension between them was not fiery enough and decided to add fuel to it
desperately from the side. "By the way, Ryker, make a cup of coffee for me. Your coffee is the best.
I''ve never had coffee better than yours. If you''re gone, I''ll die craving for it."
Ryker then replied to her, distracted, "Thank you for your appreciation, President Ramsay. I''ll go and
make the coffee right away!"
When Ryker brushed past Kaleb''s side, Ryker was terrified by the sinister gazeing his way, as
if Kaleb was telling him that he would not stay here for long!
Ryker felt rightfully indignant to have offended his superior when he had not done anything!
And Ryker could tell that Kaleb had no intention of letting him stay at Apex Construction Corporation
any longer.
Therefore, the only one who could help him get out of his predicament was Amelia!
Yes! He had upset Kaleb for Amelia''s sake. Amelia must cherish his loyalty towards her and
promise to keep him here!
After Ryker left the office, Amelia casually leaned on the edge of the desk, greeting, "Please sit
down, everyone."
Kaleb''s group took their seats, and Kaleb took the lead to say, "President Ramsay, your trip to the
eastern district this time was so mysterious and unexpected. Who would''ve thought you would strike
up a storm after lying low. Also, your social skills are much better than Daniel''s!"
Amelia returned a smile and said, "Uncle Kaleb, you tter me. I only did what I should do."
And suddenly, Kaleb changed the subject. "But President Ramsay, running apany isn''t the
same as ying child''s game. We won''t deny that you''re capable, but you brashly participated in
the project in the east without consulting with the board of directors. Aren''t you... Emm... Taking the
opinions of thepany''s top management too lightly?"
Amelia then responded with a straight face, "Uncle Kaleb, you''ve misunderstood me. I''ve never
thought it that way. To be honest, I went to the eastern district without expecting much. So, I didn''t
inform the directors because... I didn''t want you all to be too tired out."
Kaleb gave her a strange look. "You didn''t want us to be too tired out? What do you mean?"
"Uncle Kaleb, Think about it..." Amelia said with a serious tone, "If I had told the board of directors
outright that I was going to strive for the big project at the east, everyone would have definitely
broken out into a fierce discussion about the pros and cons first. It might hurt the peace between
the directors and maybe even began arguing with each other.
And if that happened, it will only going to be two oues. One of it would be the side that didn''t
support me won, then I could only give up on the project. And because of that, you guys wouldn''t
have had a reason to congratte me today.
The other oue was that the side that supported me won. But after that, we had to prepare a
n and proposal for the project. But what if Apex Construction Corporation wasn''t strong enough
in statistics and would''ve lost in the tender meeting?
Wouldn''t everybody''s efforts go to waste then? Wouldn''t everyone''s expectationse to nothing?
And when that happened, the morale at thepany would go down a notch, lowering the work
efficiency of the employees. How was I supposed to keep thispany running then?"
"But that''s exactly what I want!"
Kaleb thought and gnashed his teeth in anger silently for a while before he said, "It turns out that
President Ramsay hid it from us for our sake... I have misunderstood you."
Amelia replied with a chuckle.
One of the directors with Kaleb then chimed in, "However, it wasn''t right of President Ramsay to
hide it from the board of directors..."
To which Amelia hurriedly replied, "Yes! That''s true! I admit this! I solemnly apologize and promise
to everyone here that I''ll hold a board meeting in advance before I make any other decision in the
future. I''ll inform everyone about my nning first, only then I''ll proceed with it! Will this work?"
