The reason behind Finley's enthusiasm was that she simply did not want to refund Hobart.
Hobart glanced at Amelia who was behind Tim before he replied lazily, "There's no need, I just want to have my feet massaged now."
Finley was speechless.
He then turned around and looked at Finley. He smiled as he said, "Don't worry, as long as you arrange to have me in the same room with Amelia, you don't have to pay a single penny to me for the money that I had already spent here."
The moment when Hobart appeared in room 301, Amelia immediately straightened herself from the massage chair and exclaimed, "Hobart Smith?!"
Even Patrick's expression changed unnoticeably. His sharp gaze immediately fell on Finley, as if he was demanding an explanation from her.
As soon as she had eye contact with Patrick, Finley lowered her head and pointed at the massage chair on the left side of Amelia. She stammered, "Mr. Smith, please be seated." "Thank you!" Hobart smiled in victory. He intentionally disregarded Patrick's murderous gaze and threw his weight on the fully equipped massage chair.
The moment when his body came into contact with the chair, the corners of his mouth twitched a little as if he had touched his wound.
However, he quickly disguised his struggle and waved at Amelia playfully instead, "Hey, here we meet again."
"Mm." Amelia replied softly in acknowledgement.
At the same time, Bella brought along a small stool and sat on it right in front of Amelia. She skillfully helped Amelia in removing her slippers, which rendered her silky smooth feet being exposed at the sight of the two men.
Under the pressure of their preying gaze, Amelia curled her toes uneasily.
"Ms. Amelia's toes are adorable." Hobart never hesitated to compliment flatteringly.
Patrick was frustrated. There was no doubt that he was aware that Amelia's toes were adorable.
However, there was no need for Hobart to explicitly comment on it.
Amelia was not used to such flattering, so she just replied with an awkward smile, "Thank you."
Upon seeing her smile, Patrick could not help frowning.
After a while, someone knocked at the door twice along with a brisk sound of greeting, "Hi!"
"It's yours." As soon as Amelia heard the voice, she knew that it was the female therapist who had come to massage Hobart.
"Come in!"
The moment when he heard a beautiful lady's voice and since she was here to look for him, Hobart could not help answering merrily.
Upon seeing his eyes sparkled, Amelia broke into a laughter. His so-called cousin had just left, and Hobart got excited again in the face of another woman.
Hobart's instinct as a man towards female had always been accurate. The female therapist entering the room was a cute Korean. Hobart was delighted upon seeing her. He commented, "I heard that Korean women all have the cutest ass. This chick looks hot!"
Patrick sneered, "Your saliva is overflowing."
Hobart pretended not to bother of Patrick's sarcasm. He could not help sticking his gaze on the woman.
She was so curvaceous that he could hardly sit still.
Amelia was used to this kind of scene. However, she could not help speaking her doubt, "Why would Finley hire so many Korean? Aren't local citizens just as good?"
"You don't understand." Hobart continued, "This is known as 'marketing strategy'."
"Huh?" Amelia startled.
"Don't listen to him! He'll definitely try his very best to ruin the connection that I've found for you!" Hobart sounded insecure as he reminded Amelia.
Patrick stared at Amelia's dazzlingly beautiful eyes and said firmly, "I won't, you can trust me."
Patrick's words could be very impactful when he was serious, even to the extent that Amelia could not help feeling that there was no other person to be trusted but only him.
"Alright then." She agreed.
"Amelia!!!" Seeing that Amelia had compromised, Hobart was infuriated. He nagged, "If you really allow him to come in between, then I won't help you with my connections anymore!"
"Huh?" Amelia tilted her head.
"Look." Patrick sounded like he had foreseen that this would happen, "I knew it. He didn't mean to help Apex Construction Corporation genuinely."
Amelia nodded disappointedly, "I feel it too now..."
Hobart was made speechless.
"Ouch... It hurts!" The next second, Amelia suddenly bit her lips and stared at her feet in pain.
Bella, who had been silent all this while, spoke in fluent English for the first time, "Miss, I had pressed on your acupuncture point which caused you to feel some pain. Please relax, you will be alright soon."
"Oh." Amelia acknowledged her explanation. The next second, she abruptly realized something that had bothered her, "Bella! You speak English?"
Bella smiled and said, "Not only me, but every foreign employees hired by our boss in this saloon were trained to speak English."
