Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 586

Only then did Amelia's depressed mood improve a little. She said, "Let's make it clear. At most, I can accept that you had secretly put a listening bug on me. As for the other types of bugs, you're not allowed to install them on me. Understand?"

Huxton gave her an odd look as if he had not expected her to compromise with what he had done.

Amelia rolled her eyes and explained, "Even if I don't let you put this type of devices on me, you won't listen to me anyway, right?"

"That's right." Huxton nodded without any hint of shame. Hethen reminded Amelia, "Madam, didn't you say you're going to call sir tonight?"

Amelia seemed hesitant. "Do you think I should contact him?"

Huxton answered without thinking, "You should. Sir is the only one who can help with the three billion debt for you."

Amelia felt drained at the thought of that. She did not want to borrow money from Patrick!

Huxton added, "You're sir's wife. It's not embarrassing for you to ask him for help when in

difficulty."

In the secondary bedroom.

Recalling what Huxton had said, Amelia's hands started to tremble.

She plucked up her courage, grabbed the phone on the bedside table, and dialled Patrick's phone number while holding her breath.

But his phone was turned off!

As if she had been thrown a wet blanket on her head, Amelia put down the phone stiffly.

Amelia looked up at the clock. It was not even eight o'clock yet. Even if Patrick was tired and had fallen asleep, he did not have the habit of shutting off his phone before going to bed.

Just in case, Amelia decided and contacted Patrick's secretary.

An elegant melody sounded from the other end of the phone, but it did not do anything to relieve her anxiety.

After a while, Amelia heard someone responded, "Hello..." There was quite a hint of panic in her voice.

Though it was strange, Amelia still greeted her back. "Ms. Secretary, I'm Amelia."

"Oh, Madam Ramsay. What... what's the matter?"

Amelia's eyes froze. She did not mishear, after all.

The secretary was indeed a little nervous.

"Nothing. I just called Patrick and found that his phone was turned off. So I wanted to ask you if something has gone wrong over there?"

The secretary's tongue seemed to have been tied. "Ah... nothing happened! Everything's fine!"

Amelia scowled and asked, "Ms. Secretary, what's wrong with you? Is your throat okay?"

The secretary faked cough. "Ahem, yea..."

Amelia shot her a question purely out of instinct, "Are you hiding something from me?"

The secretary stuttered twice before finally saying, "I'm really not! Mada Ramsay, please don't think too much!"

Amelia then added half-jokingly, "Then let the truth be told, did Patrick elope with Sissi?"

Silent fell from the other side of the phone.

Amelia's heart skidded a beat. Did she guess it right?

After a long pause, the secretary replied with a bitter laugh, "Madam Ramsay, it's not what you think it is. I'll just tell you the truth. Yesterday morning, a few kids from the village went to the mountains to play without telling their parents. Sissi got so worried that she ran out to search for them amidst the wind and snow."

"Still haven't found him?" Amelia muttered to herself. She called the secretary to ask for confirmation, but even she was missing.

She loosened her hold on the phone and it fell into the blanket from her hand. Then, Amelia tugged in her knees and hugged herself, looking out of the window at the falling white snow. An urge to cry overwhelmed her.

At Roxxon Corporation, in the sales department.

"What? Amelia, you want to resign?"

When hearing Amelia uttered the word 'resign', everyone in the sales department was startled.

Amelia's professional attire masked her dispirit. She brushed her hair and said, "Yes, I've come here today to hand over my work."

At the sound of this, Doris pouted. "Amelia, aren't you doing well in Roxxon? Why are you leaving?"

"Yea, Amelia. Our department can't be without you." Everyone's eyes were filled to the brim with tears.

Only the manager, Lily Seth, spoke out about Amelia's difficulties. "You want to leave because something went wrong with the project under Apex Construction Corporation, and you need to go back and help, right?"

Amelia opened her mouth to reply. But before she could answer, somebody in the department interrupted, "Lily, I've seen the news, but what does that have to do with Amelia?"

Lily was rendered speechless at their dullness. "Think about it, what's Amelia's surname?"

Everyone answered subconsciously in unison, "Ramsay."

Lily continued, "Then what's the surname of the founder of Apex Construction Corporation?"

"Ramsay! Ah?" Shell-shocked, everyone whipped their heads at her and stared at Amelia in disbelief.

"Amelia, are you... the eldest daughter of The Ramsay Family?"
