Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 427

When Amelia went down to the second floor, she received a phone call from Doris that the company was going to give out their year-end bonus today and that Amelia should come over earlier to collect it.

Generally speaking, money motivated Amelia the most. But today, the word bonus was less attractive to her. In the end, Amelia concluded that it must be that the bonus was not enough.

"Amelia, where... where did Mr. Hopper take you last night? Why didn't you come back when we left?"

Amelia tried to come up with an excuse and realized that she had kept doing such a thing to deal with her colleagues all the time, which she was tired of. Finally, she answered, "I don't know, Doris... I really don't know, don't ask me..."

She had long been lost in Patrick's vague attitude. Perhaps someday she would be able to tell Doris and others directly that she was their boss's wife. But that would have to wait until Patrick was willing to admit it. Otherwise, Amelia would only be regarded as being out of her mind.

After hanging up the phone, Amelia had a quick breakfast before carrying her handbag and going out. It was the way that she had been taking thousands of times, but for the first time, she felt uncertain about it...

In the president's office.

Informed by the secretary, Manager Reed from the PR went to Patrick's office in fancy dress and asked, "Mr. Hopper, what can I do for you?"

Patrick leaned back in his hug chair and asked with concern, "I heard Mamie say that the finance department has never funded the PR enough and you've always had a hard time?"

Reed opened her mouth in surprise and started to blame Mamie for mentioning it. "How could she tell you such a thing? I've reminded her countless times not to complain in front of you so as not to result in your revolting us. I'm surprised she couldn't hold her tongue. I'll teach her a lesson when I get back!"

Patrick looked at her calmly and said, "Ms. Reed, according to you, it seems that it is true?"

Reed said hypocritically, "There's no such thing..."

But she was stepping backward to gain more advantages. And that finally brought about Patrick's unsolicited inquiry. "Ms. Reed, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'll see if I can help you with them once and for all."

Reed cheered inwardly. Sure enough, Mamie did not disappoint her. Reed sighed before slowly telling him the problems the PR was facing. "Here's the thing, Mr. Hopper..."

After listening to her quietly, Patrick concluded. "Ms. Reed, you mean that the finance department refused to pay for your spending on activities and caused you a lot of losses?"

"Yes." Reed nodded. "Mr. Hopper, you know that the PR represents the company's public image. If we stop paying attention to improve

ourselves, Roxxon's image would be going downhill. That's why I recruit good-looking men and women. Mr. Hopper, please understand me for being the leader. It's not easy to train them..."

Patrick curled his lips. "It is not easy. Your expense on beauty salon every month alone was almost the monthly salary of other departments."

Panic was obvious in Reed's eyes. "Mr. Hopper, who told you that?"

Patrick's cold face was filled with mockery. "Who else could it be? Of course, it's the leader of the finance department. Besides, you often ask the finance to pay you according to the invoice of your expense for nightclubs, hotels, and other entertainment. At most, there were nearly 100 thousand in total, which is just your monthly spending."
