She wanted to ask him to come back numerous times. However, the replies that she always got was related to Sissi.
The sound of the shutters in Amelia's ears and flash lights made her came back to her senses. She then composed herself, walked up to the podium alone and nodded to the crowd.
Her small face looked energetic and glorious with light make up. All the men present secretly felt unworthy for her. The Apex Construction Corporation actually forced this gentle woman to face the public and took the blame. Was there nobody else in the company?
Amelia began to recite the apology script in a sincere manner under Jonathan's close attention.
When Amelia read half way through the script, she suddenly paused. Jonathan was so worried that he really wanted to rush up to the stage to grab the microphone and helped her finish the speech.
Fortunately, Amelia just stuck for a moment. After that she did not make any more mistakes.
Amelia ended her speech with, "We are responsible for this and willing to compensate for all the
mistakes." Then she bowed down to the camera.
After leaving the meeting hall, Amelia came to Jonathan and asked with a cheeky smile, "Uncle Tucker, how's it going? Did I read every single word correctly?"
When Ryker who had been following Amelia heard this, he could not help despising her in his heart. After all, it was only reciting a script. Was there anything for her to be proud of?
Jonathan darkened his face slightly and said, "President Ramsay, please control your emotion!"
"Huh?" Amelia replied as if she was like an idiot who could not figure out what was happening.
Jonathan gave her a headache look and lowered his voice. "Didn't you notice that some reporters were still here? Don't laugh If you don't want your smug expression to appear on the newspaper tomorrow! There was a total of 27 employees fatalities since the project started. Even if you want to act, at least act like you sympathize with them!"
"Oh! So that's what it is!" Amelia quickly hid the smile and put on a sad expression.
Jonathan looked at her carefully and snorted. "Now that's right!" "Haha..." Amelia who was being praised almost could not hold back her laughter. The moment she lost her composure, Jonathan gave her a severe glare.
Amelia felt suffocated. Then she quickly raised both of her index fingers and made a cross sign on her lips. She promised in a low and muffled voice, "I won't smile! And I promise I won't laugh anymore!"
Jonathan would have looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh but this occasion was not suitable for him to do so. He thought that Amelia was more outstanding than Brittany. However, it seemed that she was not even as good as Brittany!
Ryker quietly witnessed this scene and reported to Kaleb afterwards. "There's nothing to be afraid of Amelia."
In the office.
Amelia enthusiastically invited Jonathan to sit opposite her. After that, she said to Ryker, "Assistant Ryker, please make two cups of coffee for us."
Ryker raised his eyebrows. "Okay."
When Ryker was about to turn and leave, Amelia added her request, "By the way, assistant Ryker, please add one teaspoon of milk and a third of sugar to my coffee. Thank you."
She was still so demanding when the company was in deep trouble! Ryker was like a wolf with sheep
skin and he answered, "I'll keep it in mind."
After Ryker closed the office door, Amelia seemed to think of something. She looked apologetically at Jonathan and said, "Uncle Tucker, I'm sorry that I made my own decision."
