Cynthia tightly clenched the paper in her hand as if she could continue speaking, "I can feel that the relationship between you and Mr. Hopper is extraordinary, so I officially declare the war against you. Let's compete. As long as Mr. Hopper is not married, I will not give up."
Hearing Cynthia's heroic words, Amelia resisted the urge to laugh and approached her.
In Cynthia's terrified eyes, Amelia patted her shoulder and whispered, "Okay, I'll wait."

Back to work, Doris asked what happened.
Amelia softly spat out two words, "Declared the war."
Doris was confused and said, "Ha? She wants to compete with you for the Sales Supervisor?"
Amelia smiled but said nothing, thinking that Cynthia's ambition was more than that.
At this time, the telephone rang. The colleague who answered the call said, "Ms. Amelia, it's Mr. Hopper."
Thinking of last night's stalemate, Amelia hesitated for a moment, but her colleague was still waiting for her with the phone tube. She had to reach out and took it, saying, "Amelia speaking. What can I do for you, Mr. Hopper?"
"Madam Amelia, are you done with the sales report?" Patrick asked in a professional tone, as if what happened last night was just a dream.
"Yep, it's done. And I'm working on the final check." Amelia answered in the same tone.
"Send it to me immediately after the final checking." As soon as the voice fell, he hung up the phone.
Amelia sighed. She thought Patrick's role as the boss was nonsense as his secretary could do this.
What she didn't know was that Patrick had only contacted the sales department.
At this time, Doris came to Amelia and said with the documents in her hand, "Ms. Amelia, I'm done!"
"Okay, send them to Mr. Hopper please." Amelia instructed.
She didn't want to look at Patrick's stinky face. When she was about to make a cup of coffee, she saw Hobart.
Her face immediately turned pale and comforted herself that there were so many people in the office, so he won't offend her.
However, she was wrong.
The next second, Hobart took her hand and pulled her to the window regardless of her struggle.
Amelia was so annoyed and glared at him, shouting, "Hobart Smith! Don't push me too far!"
Hobart sneered, "Why so nervous? This is your office. Do you think I'll eat you?"
Amelia felt helpless and asked, "What on earth do you want?"
After last night's dispute, she had been very anxious.
She was not sure if what she did would bring trouble to herself and Roxxon.
Hobart dropped a sentence and said, "I'm trying to figure out why you're so special that convinced Patrick Hopper to spend so much on."
Amelia was confused. "So much? How?"
Hobart told her Patrick's decision. With her disbelief, Hobart smiled and said, "In order not to put you in jail, he really took pains."
Amelia was shocked, but she knew very well that Hobart won't lie to her. For a God's favoured son like him, once offended, the most direct way out was to take her to the police instead of "negotiating".
