Chapter 883
Smiling, Charles put down his phone and said, "It''s my pleasure! This way, please. I can assure you
that you''ll be interested. There are several models specially meant for female drivers that we had
recently introduced into our showroom. I can personally bring you for a tour of them."
"Sure!" Only Amelia knew that she had faked a smile on her face when she epted his invitation.
She began to feel pity for herself as she became the victim of hard-selling marketing strategy again.
Charles had sent a text message to Patrick when Amelia was not paying close attention to him. In
the text message, not only he had updated Patrick with the fact that his wife was with him, but
Charles had also sent the location of his store to Patrick.
Half an hourter, Patrick arrived, and saw Amelia grinning as Charles talked to her.
He could feel his anger slowly burned underneath him. Acting on it, he marched towards them with
his gaze murderous.
"Amelia, let me tell you something..."
Charles was good at talking. He knew very well what topic would catch Amelia''s attention.
For example, he had noticed that Amelia wouldugh heartily at every Patrick''s embarrassing
secrets that he revealed to her.
Without them realizing, the two of them were getting closer over time. This could be seen from the
way they began to address each other intimately.
In fact, Charles and Patrick were peers of simr age while Amelia was only a few years younger
than both of them. There seemed to be nothing wrong with Amelia referring Charles as ''Charlie''.
But the way they addressing each other had triggered Patrick!
In his view, Amelia had not been knowing Charles for long, perhaps not even one hour. Yet she was
laughing wholeheartedly with a man that she barely knew!
Not only had she allowed Charles to address her as ''Amy'', seemingly she found no problem in
calling Charles ''Charlie''.
Charles saw Patrick as soon as he looked up since he was walking towards them in direction of
facing him.
However, Amelia who was sitting right opposite of Charles waspletely unaware of Patrick''s
arrival. She continued to engage herself with the topic
revolving Patrick.
Seeing that Charles had fallen into momentary silence, she urged him tteringly, "Charlie, tell me
more please."
Hearing her delicately sweet voice as she spoke to Charles, Patrick was infuriated. He managed to
frighten Charles with his murderous look while he paced up towards them.
For the sake of his safety, it would be better for him to act before Patrick. Hence, Charles stood up
from the sofa right away. Smiling, he greeted Patrick, "You''re here, Patrick! Pleasee over and
have a seat! You know, I was in the midst of talking about you to Amelia!"
Patrick?!
Amelia''s eyes widened in disbelief. Catching a glimpse of him from the corner of her eyes,
immediately she smelled ''Water of Life'' in the air.
Seeing that Patrick and Charles were now shaking hands and patting shoulders of each other,
Amelia struggled to ept his presence at this time.
Charles could tell that Patrick was being aggressive against him from the force he used on patting
his shoulder. He secretly cursed Patrick although he put on a smile on his face gentlemanly in
response to Patrick''s greeting.
After all, he had done nothing but chitchatted with Patrick''s wife with the presence of his workers
around.
Besides, he was not here with any motive. He even texted to notify Patrick after seeing that Amelia
was alone in this area.
"Patrick, you''re such a j*rk!" Charles secretly cursed.
Unfortunately, Patrick did not seem to notice the grudge that Charles was holding against him at this
moment.
ncing at Amelia who was so stunned that she had stood up from her seat, Patrick muttered,
"Sit."
Charles could tell that Patrick was suppressing his anger even if he sounded calm when talking to
Amelia. Hence, he hurriedly said, "Amelia, please take your seat."
Patrick nced at Charles insidiously. Charles'' sudden change of attitude towards Amelia would not
alter the fact that he had been addressing Amelia intimately!
The murderous look from Patrick was sufficient to frighten Charles. He had not been aware of the
influence Amelia had on Patrick!

He always thought that Patrick fancied only her body. This was what he told him in person before.
He even advised Patrick to enjoy while itsted since he was getting to get bored of her sooner or
later.
Patrick and Amelia had been married to each other for almost one year. To the exact opposite,
Charles could tell that his best friend had already fallen for her overtime.
Meanwhile, Amelia had already returned to her seat. ncing at Patrick, she asked, "What are you
doing here?"
Patrick squinted. She sounded as if he was not supposed to be there and that his presence was an
unweed one.
He fired the question back at her, "This is my friend''s store. It''s totally normal for me to pay a visit to
my friend. How about you? What are you doing here?"
Amelia tried to disguise her panic as she imed, "I was here to meet a friend mainly. I just stopped
by."
"No matter what, your best friend will never get to close a deal with me!" Amelia reminded herself
secretly.
Patrick asked, "Which friend of yours actually stayed in a rural area like here? Is your friend staying
in a tent? I see no residential area here but automobile stores and garages everywhere."
Amelia''s eyes flickered in panic. She wished that she could time-travel to the time when she first got
into the taxi and told the location of another 4S store instead. She would not have to lie from the
very beginning.
Patrick did not seem wanting to let go of it, "Can''t you even recall your friend''s address?"
Amelia lowered her gaze to disguise her fear that she was going to be exposed at any time. She
tried to make up an excuse, "Hehe... We''re not very close in fact. That''s why I asked her out without
asking for her address."
Nodding, Patrick replied, "Well, can you ask her to meet you here? I have to meet her in person
only I can ensure your safety."
Amelia was stunned by his persistence. Although he sounded as if he was concerning her, she
could not help feeling that it was a trap.
However, she soon came out with an idea to get away from him, "Fine, please excuse me. I''ll make
a call outside and wait for her."
However, Patrick had pressed her shoulder forcefully before she could stand up from her seat. He
said, "You can call here. It''s not that Charles is aplete stranger."
Charles had chosen to remain silence all this while although he secretly paid close attention to
every details of the two of them.
In fact, he was astonished. To be frank, he had never seen Patrick being so protective towards any
woman other than Sissi.
At this moment, Amelia was stuck in a dilemma. She thought of speaking of the truth that she was
here to buy car but this was no more than admitting she was a liar all this while.
It was apparent that these two men would not simply let go of this matter had they found out that
she had been lying. She could even foresee how Patrick was going to make fun of her in the future
with this incident.
Amelia sneaked a peek at Charles. She was pretty certain that it was all because of Charles that
Patrick had shown up here.
Spending most of the time with women, Charles was sharp at dealing with women''s gaze. No
matter how careful Amelia was when she secretly nced at him, Charles had sensed it
nheless.
He raised his eyebrows in gesture to ask her.
The meeting of their eyes was immediately caught by Patrick. With his gaze deadly cold, he asked,
"Mrs. Hopper, did you hear me?"
