"Is that so?" Patrick curled his lips.
"Yes, what are you smiling at?" Amelia was a little uneasy at his smirk.
But there were some things she preferred to believe rather than doubt. Otherwise, it would only make her sadder than killing her.
At the Scarlet Clothing Company.
"Tiffany, I'm not hallucinating, am I? Is that Patrick Hopper walking next to Amelia?"
Jeremy and Tiffany, who were waiting in the office, still found it hard to believe even when the distinguished Patrick was standing right in front of them.
Compared with Jeremy, Tiffany was a little calmer. Realizing that her fiance was so humble in front of Patrick, she secretly pinched the back of his waist out of annoyance, reminding him to behave himself!
Jeremy's smiling face almost turned into a crying one because of the pinch. But obviously, he seemed to have gotten used to Tiffany's "special treatment" and had developed the ability to restore a smile immediately.
Noting the change in his facial
expression, Amelia thought Jeremy was not feeling well and asked out of their partnership. "Are you alright, Mr. Roland?"
In the face of the beautiful lady's concern, Jeremy decided to pretend to be a tough guy no matter how painful it was. "I'm okay."
After a pause, Jeremy looked at Patrick with his eyes shining. "Mr. Hopper, are you here to do business with me?"
But Patrick said, "I don't feel easy about Manager Ramsay coming here alone, so I came over to have a look."
"Eh? It doesn't make sense..." Jeremy, who was slow, was about to ask, "Don't you like Amelia? What's the point of coming with her?"
Before Jeremy could let out those questions, he was held back by the "special treatment" from Tiffany, who was standing beside him!
Women's intuition had always been sharp.
Although Tiffany had no idea what was going on between Amelia and Patrick, it was right not to get to the bottom of the matter. Tiffany smiled and said, "Mr. Hopper, you worry too much. The
Scarlet Clothing Company is not a dangerous place, and we are not cannibals. It's very safe for Miss Ramsay to come here to work part-time."
"Good." Patrick couldn't help but look
at Tiffany again. This woman was much smarter than Jeremy.
Jeremy's father had gotten such a woman as his daughter-in-law and employee. Jeremy was such a blessed fool.
After the small talks, Tiffany suggested, "Miss Ramsay, I've got four sets of suits for you. Now, please come to the dressing room with me."
"Okay." No sooner had Amelia finished that did she heard a bang as someone knocked open the door of the office.
The four inside were all caught off guard.
After seeing who had come, Tiffany rushed forward and reached out to hold still the thin woman storming in. "Valerie, didn't you just have an operation on your appendix? Why don't you have a rest in the hospital? What are you doing here?"
Valerie, with a pale face and hollow cheeks, anxiously grabbed Tiffany's hands with tears in her eyes. "Tiffany, I heard from my colleagues that you had gotten someone else to take my place for the cover of our magazines. So I hurried back to the company! You see, I am fine now. Would you... give me another chance and let me do it?" "Well..." Tiffany hesitated.
