"Again?" Amelia had no clue what Patrick wanted.
Frowning, Patrick said in a rough voice, "I'm going to have lunch. Are you coming or not?"
Although his shouting was loud, it was obvious that he had given in. If he hadn't felt guilty or concerned, he could have gone away directly instead of coming back for her.
Sure enough, Amelia knew that. The more arrogant he was, the more precious every time he turned back to her, and the more difficult for her to bring herself to refuse him.
After the meal, Patrick silently sent her back to the door of the jewelry store. Amelia was a little surprised. "You don't mind I work here?"
"If I do, I'd be more hateful to you, wouldn't I?" Although Amelia had had lunch with him, Patrick still sounded harsh.
Amelia looked at him and said sincerely, "I don't think you are hateful. You are a good man, really."
Patrick drew in a deep breath and exhaled. "When did you learn this carrot and stick trick?"
A smile surfaced on Amelia's pretty face. "You taught me that."
With a whim, Patrick moved closer to her and gently licked the corner of her mouth.
When he found that she did not push him away despite her slightly stiff body, he took advantage of the chance and suck on her lips bit by bit...
Before he would lose control, he stepped back a little and fixed his flirtatious gaze on her face. "Since you're that capable, you should learn this trick, too."
She knew he was baiting her and decided not to fall into his sweet trick like a fool. "I... I'm getting off the car."
"Wait." When she reached out to open the door, Patrick asked, "When is the shooting of the Scarlet?"
"Eight o'clock tonight, what's the matter?" Amelia asked.
"I'm going with you." Patrick looked at her resolutely. It was a positive sentence, which meant that he was going whether she agreed or not.
Amelia didn't know what to make of it. Had his supervision on her shifted from surreptitious to aboveboard?
Seeing Amelia, Mr. Cosmo hurried forward and asked, "Miss Ramsay, what did Mr. Hopper say to you?" "Nothing." We just quarreled and reconciled again. Amelia added silently.
"Then... Did he mention me?" Mr. Cosmo looked at her nervously.
Amelia shook her head. "No."
"Oh, good..." Mr. Cosmo breathed a sigh of relief. He had assumed that Patrick would bear a grudge against him and didn't expect that Patrick hadn't mentioned him at all. He should be fine now.
At dusk.
After saying goodbye to the last customer today, Amelia walked into Mr. Cosmo's office and said, "Mr. Cosmo, time is up. I should leave.
Goodbye."
Mr. Cosmo was discussing business with his clients. Seeing Amelia, he picked up a bulging envelope next to him and caught up with her. "Miss Ramsay, please wait a moment. You left something."
