Greatly pleased by Doris's praise, Patrick took out a few cash from his wallet again. "Take them. Have something good tonight."
"Thank you, Mr. Hopper!" Doris happily took the money and cheerfully ordered all the snacks and drinks.
After receiving the change, Doris looked over her shoulder to return the money to Patrick, only to find him turned around and left.
Doris thought for a while and suddenly handed the money to Amelia. "Amelia, you know Mr. Hopper well. How about you return the money for me?"
Amelia asked with confusion, "Why don't you give it back to him yourself?"
Doris was frustrated and a little annoyed by that. "Amelia, you are so terrible at taking advantage of opportunities. When you return the money to Mr. Hopper, you could take the chance to bond with him, right?"
Amelia raised the end of her eyebrow. "Why do you want me to bond with him?"
Doris said in a serious manner, "As the saying goes, great trees are good for nothing but shade. If you have a good relationship with Mr. Hopper, our department is sure to have a promising future."
Amelia gripped the money in her hand. According to her understanding of Patrick's personality, he would be angry if she returned this little money to him.
After pondering for a while, Amelia put the money back into Doris's hand and said, "Since Mr. Hopper gives the money to you, he certainly doesn't expect to have it back. Just take it and regard it as a gift for Christmas."
After that, without giving Doris a chance to protest, Amelia told the salesgirl to deliver the food they ordered to their rooms and left.
"Hey, Amelia, wait..." Doris stamped her feet and hurried after Amelia.
When the group entered the room, Mamie seized the moment to sit on the right next to Patrick. Lily followed closely behind her and sat down on the sofa on the other side of Patrick.
Soon, beers, fried chicken, popcorn, and French fries were served on the table by the waiters. Lily tried to coax Patrick to eat some in the way she did to other male clients, only to find him dodging the food she presented to him and taking out a cigarette from his pocket to smoke.
He was very elegant. Far from being repulsive, his smoking in the public was such a pleasure to watch.
Not only Leslie, but Mamie and other beautiful women in the PR were a little charmed.
Seeing them, employees from the sales department gave looks of disdain simultaneously. "Huh, those vixens in the PR look like they're going to eat Mr. Hopper alive. I'm sick of it!"
Another followed, "That is one of the reasons why the PR is unpopular. They are always slutty to whoever in front of them."
Just as the sales department was in agreement, a pleasant but slightly sad male voice came. "Ladies, so you have that many misunderstandings about our department."
Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads to the man speaking and found a boy with short orange hair, dimples, and a cute and enchanting smile...
But precisely, he was already an adult. Just because of his fair, tender face, he was easy to be mistaken for a teen.
"You are... Timothy Gibbon?" Lily searched her memory and asked with uncertainty.
"Yes, that's me. Ms. Seth, you have such a good memory." With a smile, Timothy pointed to an empty seat beside them with the hand holding beer and requested, "Ladies, the sofa over there is too crowded. Can I sit here with you?"
"Of course. Welcome!" Timothy was handsome and, more importantly, polite. How could they have the heart to refuse him!
Not interested, Amelia was having her snakes. She didn't even pay attention to what Timothy looked like.
