But she thought she was the only one who was angry?
"Let's make it clear before you leave." Patrick stopped her and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
Amelia didn't answer.
Patrick's dark eyes contained a hint of mockery and asked, "Could it be as what Maryanne said, that you were taught a lesson by a woman whose boyfriend or husband was seduced by you?"
"You! I was at the department store just now..." After a pause, Amelia's eyes darkened slightly and said with frustration, "Forget about it, you can imagine whatever you like."
After that, she quickly left.
Patrick looked at the door closed and wondered what had happened to her at the department store.
While he was thinking, Patrick asked the technician to share with him the surveillance video at the department store.
Moments later, he withdrew his gaze from the screen and pursed his lips. Anyone coming with Hobart and hurting Amelia would pay for what he/ she did.
At the sales department.
"... My God! It's Mr. Hopper!"
With Doris's excited voice, all the people in the department transferred their eyesight to Mr. Hopper.
Mr. Hopper really looked handsome. Just look at him, you would have the energy to work hard for Roxxon.
Amelia was applying ointment to the injury. Seeing Patrick coming in, she had to stop.
Since Ms. Lily wasn't around, she was the most senior staff in the department, so she went up and greeted, "Mr. Hopper."
"Come with me." Patrick ordered.
"Yes, sir." Amelia answered.
Amelia and Patrick had just left for two seconds, the colleagues began the gossip, "Look at Mr. Hopper and Ms. Amelia, what a perfect match they look like!"
Hearing this, Patrick's lips curled up slightly.
Doris snorted and said, "No! Ms. Amelia's Mr. Right is Mr. Cook, Director of Lintons!"
Someone said, "Ah! Mr. Cook is also a rarely handsome guy."
Hearing this, Patrick's handsome face suddenly darkened,
while Amelia pretended to be deaf.
Walking out of the office building and into the department store, Amelia asked, "Mr. Hopper, why do you bring me here?"
Patrick said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Amelia pulled his suit gloomily. When she saw him looking at her, she immediately let go of him and said, "Can't you walk slower? Are you Kipchoge?"
Glancing at Amelia's high heel, Patrick sneered, "It's because your legs are too short."
Amelia retorted, "No! You're short!"
The smile on Patrick's face was meaningful and he asked, "Am I short? Haven't I made you scream and breathed 'wow, oh my God! so nice!'?"
Amelia's white face turned red as this man... was too shameless.
Patrick was still asking seriously in a low voice, "Do you want me to take off my pants and let Ms. Amelia measure my 'little brother'? But you know that it has two forms and its length depends on your ability to make me happy."
His voice was flirtatious, and his eyes were full of mischief. He wanted to stimulate her.
But the title "Ms. Amelia" was like a blow on the head, which made Amelia suddenly sober up - they were at work, so she had to behave herself!
Hobart was stunned and saw that Patrick didn't look like joking. He immediately asked Anna seriously, "Ms. Amelia was hurt by you?"
Anna leaned on the back of the sofa and said arrogantly, "Yes, it was. I gotta teach this little b*tch a lesson and told her not to be coquettish upon seeing a man!"
Patrick and Hobart's handsome faces darkened at the same time. To some extent, they both had a strange feeling for Amelia. They could bully her no matter how hard they tried. If others bullied her, neither of them would let it go.
Hobart ordered coldly, "Apologise!"
Anna's chest heaved and said, "No way!"
Hobart slammed the table heavily, and Anna could not believe it, saying, "You treat me this bad just for this little bitch?"
Hobart was so angry that he glared at Anna and said, "Shut up!"
Anna was so frightened that her eyes turned red and she forgot to speak for a moment.
Hobart looked at Patrick and said, "My brother, my negligence resulted in Ms. Amelia's injury and not finding out in time that she was injured. As long as it's within my ability, I'm willing to compensate you."
Patrick took out his cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lightening up his cigarette while thinking about what compensation he wanted.
A moment later, Patrick put down the cigarette and slowly spat out a mouthful of white smoke and said, "I want Amelia to hurt Anna in the way Anna hurt Amelia. And we men won't intervene, okay?"
Hobart narrowed his eyes as if he was weighing the gains and losses.
Anna gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Hopper, please don't make things difficult for us. My father is the deputy mayor of Northville..."
Patrick interrupted her with an indifference, "Oh, then my grandfather used to be somebody at central government."
Anna was speechless by the anger, as if she had been choked by the smell of smoke.
Amelia glanced at Patrick's uncompromising side face, feeling that he could stand up for her, even in such a childish and unreasonable way, she was still moved.
