At Land of Fragrance.
The secretary turned and took a glance at Patrick who was sitting at the back seat. When she saw that he was frowning as if he was suffering from a nightmare, she called out softly, "Mr. Hopper, you're home..."
After she called Patrick for a few times, he opened his eyes which were full of panic. He did not manage to hide his panic look.
Patrick dreamed that Sissi and him were trapped in the cold and narrow pit again. She held him and asked whether they were going to die. Then she feebly closed her cold her eyes with snowflakes on her eyelashes.
Sissi did not wake up no matter how he called and shook her...
Even though he was awake, he still felt stuffed in his chest. He was determined not to let this kind of incident happened again!
"Mr. Hopper, are you okay?" The secretary asked with concern when she saw Patrick's face was slightly stiff.
He raised his hand and pressed his pulse with his palm. After resting for a while, he said to his secretary with his usual tone, "It's late now, let the driver send you home."
After he finished talking, he opened the door and got out from the car.
"Thank you, Mr. Hopper." The secretary shouted from afar.
The secretary scratched her head. Before she left she was thinking whether she should call Amelia.
Then, she thought Patrick would meet Amelia as soon as he arrived home.
Then, it was unnecessary for her to make a phone call. She should let Amelia have a surprise.
When Patrick stood at the door, he adjusted his facial expression. Then he reached out his hand to press the doorbell.
The door was opened and revealed Huxton's poker face. When Huxton saw it was his master, his face expression changed immediately. "Sir! You're back!"
Patrick patted Huxton on the shoulder, then he grinned and said, "Yes, let's talk inside."
"Yes sir." Huxton turned his body sideways to welcome Patrick into the house.
Patrick looked around the house quietly. Then he sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. After that, he glanced at Huxton. "Where is Amelia?"
"Tonight, madam has a.."
Huxton would have blurted out the word 'social meeting' at ordinary times. After all, he had always betrayed Amelia and he showed no mercy at all.
However, he listened from the bug and it proved that Amelia was working hard for something.
If Huxton told Patrick that Amelia was drinking and playing game with some men, Patrick would be furious.
Huxton thought that madam had been so restless recently. If she still got tortured by Patrick, this tough woman would not be able to hold herself anymore.
Patrick noticed his unnatural pause and asked, "You say that Amelia has what tonight?"
"Oh! Madam has to work overtime tonight. She just called and informed me just now." Huxton explains.
"I see." There was no doubt on Patrick's face, as if Huxton was still his most honest servant. "I'm hungry. Let's get dinner ready."
In Maya Hotel.
In the midst of the hubbub, Amelia forced to smile and clinked glasses with Hendrix Lawrence.
Suddenly her right eyelid twitched badly made her losing her composure. She accidentally broke the glass while she used her hand to rub her right eye.
Hendrix who originally had a lecherous smile on his face, saw that his prey suddenly flew out of his mouth. He immediately said with some displeasure, "President Ramsay, don't play with fire if you are afraid to lose. It's not like we have to cooperate with your company."
