Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 728

Jonathan gave her a sidelong glance and told her from the bottom of his heart, "Hit you? I wouldn't dare! Your protectors will knock me out before I even have a chance to raise my fist!"

"Uncle Tucker, what protectors are you talking about! There are more who wants my downfall!" Amelia mocked herself then continued to ask with a smile, "How about you scolding me to feel better?"

"Okay, that's enough. Stop pretending to be pitiful!" Jonathan chided Amelia out of amusement. Then, he asked, "Where were we?"

Seeing that Jonathan had no intention to continue with her banter, Amelia immediately regained her composure and replied, "We were just talking about Kaleb wanting to find me another assistant only for me to reject him."

"Well, it's great that you know how to refuse him! Because if you'd let him arranged for you, you're definitely only getting another pair of ears on you."

Amelia nodded in return. "I think so too!"

Jonathan then added, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to find someone generally capable with a clean background to be your assistant. I won't allow Kaleb

to succeed with his schemes!"

Amelia pouted and complained in some dissatisfaction, "Uncle Tucker, how can you say that? Of course you have to find someone talented to be my assistant!"

Jonathan only shook his head with a smile. "If an average assistant goes rouge, we can still react in time to their disloyalty. But if it's someone brilliant and smart, you'll be in deep trouble. I'm doing this for your own good. Just listen to me."

Amelia was stunned. Then, she exclaimed with a melodramatic tone as if she was hurt, "Ah, I see. You are worried I won't be able to handle a talented assistant! You're looking down on me!"

Putting up an act of a shocked expression, Jonathan gaped at her, "Is it that obvious?"

Upon hearing him, Amelia could not help but pucker her lips like that of a goldfish and whined unhappily, "Uncle Tucker!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore! I'm doing this purely for your sake. I'm just afraid that you'll be at the bad end of it."

"Okay, Uncle Tucker! I'll take your advice!"

Jonathan nodded with satisfaction and added, "We've already ended the big show of lie in front of everyone. Should we find a time to visit Mr. Quartley

next?"

Amelia's smile froze slightly. "But I'm worried that... Mr. Quartley will refuse to see us."

Jonathan scowled. "Why do you think so, President Ramsay?"

Amelia analyzed for him, saying, "Firstly, I don't know Mr. Quartley in person. Secondly, I've rashly said that he has promised to invest in our company when I don't even know him. It was a lie! And because of this breach of honesty on my part, I don't know if Mr. Quartley will regard me as a liar. Thirdly, even if he forgives me for it, I'm not fully confident that I can secure his investment..."

Drawling on earnestly, Jonathan said, "Whether it's a success or not, it depends on you, President Ramsay. Don't always underestimate your ability and luck. As a matter of fact, before taking part in the tender meeting, you said that Apex Construction Corporation had no chance to take over the project in the eastern district.

But look at what happened, aren't you almost succeeding?

Then, take a look at every single employee in the company. They're so immersed in their work today as if they're on steroids!

Some of those who handed their letters of resignation to the human resources department are now regretting it so much that they're asking for the letters back.

President Ramsay, you may think that you've made a shameful lie at the meeting. And now, you're deep in guilt, timid, and clueless about your next steps.

However, at the same time, you've also brought hope to millions of the company's employees. Everyone is sincerely thankful to you, and they'll continue to help the company with actions! You're not alone in this fight!"

"You're not alone..." the phrase echoed in Amelia's head.

An urge to cry rose in Amelia's chest all of a sudden. "Uncle Tucker, I..."

Jonathan patted the back of Amelia's hand and said, "Promise me. No matter what the result is, let's give it a try first, shall we?"

Amelia was washed over by high ambition at this moment. She expressed, "Well, I promise you! I'll do my best to get the investment!"

After Jonathan left the office, Amelia picked up her phone from the desk right away, intending to give Kaiden a call.

But in the next second, she noticed she had a missed call, and Patrick's name was on the screen.

Why did he call her for?

Amelia then dialled him back.
