Facing the puzzled look in Jessica's eyes, Amelia laughed dryly and said matter-of-factly, "I didn't know where the address is. You told me yourself before you got on the car."
"Really?" asked Jessica, but her voice ebbed and flowed.
"Sure!" Amelia nodded immediately, "I guess you're so focused on what happened today that you forgot what you have said to me."
Frowning, Jessica replied in distress, "Maybe."
Amelia heaved a sigh of relief secretly.
After a pause, she heard Jessica speaking, "There is an elevator in the apartment. I can go up by myself. You don't have to go with me. I don't want to introduce you to that shameful woman. She doesn't deserve it!"
After Jessica and Sierra went out of her sight, Amelia put on a stern look, turned the car around, and headed to Roxxon Corporation.
At the president's office.
The secretary yawned. When no one was watching, she stretched herself and found a figure suddenly rushed out from the elevator door. She took a closer look and exclaimed, "Hey! Manager Ramsay?"
Amelia asked politely, "Miss, is Mr. Hopper here? I want to see him."
The secretary paused for a moment before she said, "Manager Ramsay, unfortunately, Mr. Hopper has a client in his office and may not be available to meet you now."
Amelia was too anxious to care about the client. "But I need to see him now! Please tell him for me," she demanded.
The secretary was silent for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that she knew Amelia was not an unreasonable woman, she would have called the security guards long ago.
"Alright. I'll go in and ask if he wants to see you."
"Thank you!"
A few seconds later, the secretary came out of the office and closed the door. She said to Amelia with confidence, "Mr. Hopper said that he's not available to see you now."
Amelia said meaningfully, "I don't think he's not available. Instead, he must be too guilty to see me!"
With that, she directly passed the secretary, who was too overwhelmed by Amelia's determination to stop her.
When the secretary came to her senses, the door had been slammed shut by Amelia. She could only silently pray that Mr. Hopper would not blame her later.
As for Amelia, after breaking into the office, she glanced around with her beautiful eyes and found no client here at all!
The secretary must have made up an impromptu excuse after receiving orders from Patrick that he wouldn't see anyone.
She kept warning herself to calm down before she neutrally talked to the man on the sofa reading documents, "Patrick, please stop."
Patrick was still calm. "Manager Ramsay, did you forget that you're in the company and I am your boss? Do you believe it's appropriate for you to call my first name directly?"
Sh*t! Since she needed his help, she had to swallow it.
She forced a sweet smile and began, "Mr. Hopper, Jessica is one of the few friends I have since I was a child. Can you please do me a favor and leave her alone?"
But the man, who had claimed that he seemed to like her this morning, looked cold now. "Sorry, I can't
