Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 553

The female manager was stunned at first but she began to swear afterwards, "What the f*ck are you..."

When she raised her head and looked at the man's face closely, her scolding voices changed into stutters, "Mr. Hopper?"

Patrick looked at her from his height and then glanced at the clothing store's name. He asked in a confused tone, "New shop?"

"Yes." The female manager gulped. She was nervous and mesmerized. This was the first time she was so close with Patrick in real life.

Patrick moved his feet and stepped few more times on the new dress. "How long have you been in Roxxon?"

"Just a few days." The female manager's attention was completely focused on Patrick. She did not pay attention to his action at all.

Patrick raised his eyebrows. No wonder she did not even know who was Roxxon's hostess.

Then the female manager saw that Amelia was helped up by Dr. Scarlett. She thought that they were trying to escape in chaos. She pointed to them and reported to Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, you are just in time. These two women just knocked down my racks. I suspect they did it on purpose!"

"Did it on purpose?" Patrick mulled over these four words meaningfully.

The female manager shot Amelia a contemptuous look. "That's right! I think if they aren't thieves, they must be sent by other shops to make trouble here!"

Patrick crossed his arms and said, "How do you want me to deal with this?"

The female manager said viciously, "It's best to send them to the police station and lock them up! No! Before that, I want them to compensate for the loss of my clothes!"

Amelia could not help saying, "You want me to compensate you for the loss of your clothes? But all of your clothes are here."

The female manager said angrily, "Yes. However, they are dirty! As soon as these clothes are stained with dust, I have to send these clothes to clean them. Anyhow, there will still be traces left. If my customers think that these are second-hand clothes worn by others, do you think my business can survive in the future? Well, there can be negotiation. I won't call the police as long as you compensate the clothes and apologize to me three times!"

At this moment, more onlookers were coming over to the clothing store. The way they looked at Amelia was totally different now.

It was because they had recognized Amelia who was Madam Ramsay from the sales department. She was the boss's wife!

Some kind people tried to open their mouths and wanted to remind the fearless female mananger. Then they noticed Patrick's sneaky smile. It was clearly that he wanted to vent his anger on the female manager.

They gave up the idea of warning the female manager when they saw Patrick's smile. After all, this female manager was really arrogant. What was more, competitions exist between businesses. They did not have to take risk to offend Patrick by doing something like this.

Patrick waited quietly. He wondered if Amelia would beg him or call him "hubby" or "Mr. Hopper" in front of the crowd sweetly. Then, he would help her immediately.

Amelia asked, "How much are these clothes?"

The female manager glanced at them roughly and said, "They worth at least more than five hundred thousand dollar!"

More than five hundred thousand!

Amelia's face looked concern. She was Roxxon's employee, so she knew the retail price of the stores was very pricey in Roxxon. However, five hundred thousand was too much. The female manager definitely was asking for too much!

"I think it's worth at most a hundred thousand dollar." Dr. Scarlett whispered to Amelia so that she would not get cheated.

The female manager pointed at a long dress on the ground angrily, "One hundred thousand dollar? It's even not enough to buy this dress!"

Amelia glanced at the ground and smiled. Unfortunately, the dress which cost more than one hundred thousand dollar was stepped by Patrick all the time. She asked, "That's strange. The skirt was stepped by him. Why don't you ask him to pay for it?"

The female manager lowered her eyes and said, "Mr. Hopper, err, he stepped on it accidentally. I can understand!"
