Chapter 792


    "Alright then. I''ll send everyone downstairs." Amelia did not force any of them to stay.


    After sending them to their vehicle and closing the door thoughtfully for them. Amelia stood by the


    window and waved her hand. "Be safe on your way back."


    The vehicle drove away slowly from Amelia, they did not seem like in a hurry.


    Amelia crouched as her smile slowly fade away and it was then reced by exhaustion.


    Looking up at the sign of Apex Construction Corporation on the top of the building, Amelia found


    that ever since she took over thepany, troubles and issues kept popping out. She wondered if


    her father had faced the same issues as she did when he was in this position.


    Amelia sighed, sometimes she really wanted to join venture with Patrick and let Apex Construction


    Corporation rely solely on him, so she could just be a titr chairperson. But then she remembered


    Patrick''s distant attitude...


    With another long sigh, she thought, "I''d better forget


    it."


    She then took the elevator back to her temporary office. Amelia had just opened the door when she


    smelled a strong aroma of tea.


    As she turned her eyes, she saw Audrey putting a cup of tea in front of the guest like a maid.


    Amelia felt an ache in her heart as she smelled the aroma. That was the best tea she had, It was a


    gift given by Howard when she visited the Hopper Mansion during Christmas!Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Amelia had been reluctant to drink it because of its rarity and the amount that was given. Amelia


    had always brought it along with her wherever she went. What she did not expect was when she


    finally decided to put it in the office drawer, Audrey would have taken it out and serve it to some


    unimportant visitors!


    What a reckless waste of a treasure!


    But on the surface, Amelia still had to pretend that she did not care. After all, she could not say that


    Kaleb''s gang was a pig, could she?


    That was right. Just as the head of the Environmental Protection Bureau left, Kaleb and his men


    had arrived. They were holding their teacups and enjoying the best tea that she had save for


    herself!


    "Wait a minute!"


    Amelia saw that there was only a cup of tea left on the tea tray in the blink of an eye and Audrey


    intended to hand it over to someone irrelevant!


    Amelia rushed over and grabbed the teacup. Under everyone''s gaze, she lowered his head and


    sipped the cup but she did not drink the boiling hot tea. After all, she was afraid of being burnt by


    the boiling water. If she were to pour such hot tea into her mouth, she would definitely suffer.


    As she put down the teacup, Amelia deliberately acted emotionally in front of Kaleb and the others


    and said, "It''s so hot that I almost fell into heatstroke! Audrey, thank you for making tea but


    remember to make more next time. Don''t leave the other directors thirsty."


    The director whose teacup was robbed by Amelia had a slightly gloomy face at first, but after he


    heard Amelia''s words, he felt that she did not really do it on purpose.


    Therefore, he swallowed the sarcasm at the edge of his mouth and said instead, "President


    Ramsay, it doesn''t matter. I''m not thirsty."


    Beside him, Andrea said in a hurry, "I''m sorry, I''m going to make another ss now!"


    Amelia said in a voice that was even more urgent than hers, "Well, be fast then!"


    However, her heart was bleeding. Why was Audrey being so responsible and caring, couldn''t she


    just leave after apologizing? My gosh...


    The director whose teacup had been taken away was even more embarrassed. He immediately


    turned to Amelia and said, "Thanks a lot!"


    Amelia threw up a fake smile and said, "You''re most wee..."


    The next second, Kaleb''s ufortable voice reached Amelia''s ear. "President Ramsay, what''s


    wrong with your face?"


    Amelia fell into awkward silence. She could not tell them that she had a conflict with a little girl


    because of Patrick and ended up being in such an embarrassing state because of the pastel colors


    in the girl''s bag, could she?


    No! No way!


    No matter was it ''I had a conflict with a little girl'' or ''being stained by pastel colors'', neither of them


    was a glorious thing.


    After thinking for a while, Amelia replied, "It''s just skin allergies."


    Kaleb and the others did not say anything.


    Even Jonathan, who had always been calm was choked by the tea and kept coughing. Amelia oh


    Amelia, had you ever seen someone whose


    allergies would even affect their clothes?


    Kaleb who hade back to his senses let out a dryugh and said, "President Ramsay, I heard


    that the people of the Environmental Protection Bureau havee to ourpany?"


    Amelia put his palms together and seemed to be worshipping Kaleb. "Wow, Uncle Kaleb you''re so


    well-informed!"


    Kaleb smiled stiffly. "This matter was spread from the staff canteen and I happened to know about


    it."


    Hearing this, Amelia could not help but felt disdainful. Kaleb was acting like a fake b*tch, if he did


    not keep an eye on Amelia''s activities, how could he appear right after the officers of the


    Environmental Protection Bureau had just left?


    She kept that thought with herself and did not show it on her face. "You''re right. The officers of the


    Environmental Protection Bureau had just came. They said that our restaurant had polluted the river


    by emitting too much waste and food debris into the river. They asked us topensate and


    cooperate with the management to solve the issue."


    "So that''s how it is." This was the first time Kaleb had heard of the full story. He immediately


    revealed a cautious expression that was different from before.


    Amelia observed Kaleb''s expression and continued,


    "And, they said that if we can''t solve the issue, they would bring reporters over to expose the matter


    and use it as a warning to otherpanies."


    A hint of shock shed across Kaleb''s eyes. Then, he felt a faint sense of delight. He probably


    thought that he had concealed these things very well but in reality, Amelia had taken note of them


    all. "Oh, by the way!"


    All of a sudden Amelia raised her voice and pulled Kaleb''s attention back. "What''s wrong, President


    Ramsay?"


    Seeing Kaleb and the others waiting patiently, Amelia said "The officers asked if we were willing to


    settle this issue privately!"


    Kaleb and his men exchanged nces with each other as if they were weighing the pros and cons


    of this action. For a moment, the only sound heard in the office was the sipping of tea.


    Amelia waited for a while and asked, "Uncle Kaleb, do you have any good suggestions for this?"


    Kaleb replied with an "Err..." Of course, what he wanted was for Amelia to bear the consequences


    of not hurting the benefits and profits of Apex Construction Corporation.


    If the issue was solved privately, the officers can act like the river pollution was nothing but a mere


    misunderstanding and Amelia would then get to


    safety by paying an amount of money.


    If they were to solve this issue ording to thew, Amelia would need to make sure that


    everything would run smooth and they would give full cooperation to the bureau. This meant that


    the officers from the bureau would be constantly applying pressure on Amelia.


    From Kaleb''s point of view, everything that could pressurise Amelia was a great thing to him!


    Kaleb who was always thinking of something bad then said righteously the moment, "President


    Ramsay, I don''t think it''s good for both you or thepany if it''s private. My suggestion is to carry


    out formal trials. We should do what we should do!"
