"You!" Patrick was infuriated. What he was implying was for her to stop asking questions!
Even Sissi felt she should not answer all of her pressing questions. "Ms. Ramsay, why are you asking about such specific questions?"
Was Amelia planning to personally seek revenge on Sissi?
Amelia then turned to look at Sissi and could not help but chuckle when she saw her face was full of suspicion. "What else is there for me to do? It's just that I need a tour guide when I visit your university."
"Oh, I see..." Sissi smiled and felt relieved at once. "Then I'd better give Ms. Ramsay my phone number. You can give me a call before you come to Loan Oak Univesity."
Very well. Now they had each other's phone numbers.
Satisfied, Amelia added, "Okay! Thank you, Sissi.
You're such a warm-hearted person."
Hearing her, Sissi replied politely and humbly, "Ah, not at all."
Soon, all the dishes the five of them ordered were served.
Amelia glanced at the dishes and found that everything Sissi ordered was Patrick's favourites. Unbelievable, even after so many years, she still remembered her former lover's palate.
They had ordered the dishes as sharing platters since they would like to try each of the dishes. When Amelia reached out for an oyster, Sissi just so happened to pick on the exact oyster as hers.
A trace of dignity flashed in Amelia's eyes, and she unceremoniously snatched the oyster from Sissi's fingers.
Patrick and Sissi were taken aback by what Amelia just did, for they did not expect Amelia to be so rude.
But why should Amelia be courteous? Was the oyster labelled with Sissi's name? Amelia guessed not...
After that, Amelia then slurped the oysters down with ease. Amelia did not even care if she looked better or worse than Sissi when she ate it.
Amelia was bringing all of the self-abasement upon herself!
As the president of Apex Construction Corporation, though she was just a stand-in, she was still slowly beginning to wield the official title.
There were tens of thousands of employees working for her. And was there any one of her high-level employees that did not earn as much as Sissi?
Therefore, she had absolutely no reason to humiliate herself in front of Sissi just for the sake of a man's favor.
Realizing that Sissi liked to eat oysters, Amelia kept taking one oyster after another and popping the flesh into her mouth...
She was eating so intensely to the point where Patrick frowned, silently called over the waiter, and ordered for another two servings of oysters.
F*ck!
Amelia could not help but let out a curse deep down. She could not eat this many oysters...
From aside, Sissi then shot Patrick with a look, touched. He must have called for two more plates because he noticed she was not able to eat any.
Catching Amelia's expression looking glutted, Sissi felt a burst of pride. "Are you trying to go against me? The best is always saved for last!" thought Sissi.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Patrick saw Amelia was stiff in her seat. He then turned his head and asked puzzledly, "You're full?"
"I..." Amelia was just about to speak when a twinge of discomfort churned in her stomach. She immediately covered her mouth and got up, scanning around for the toilet.
Patrick had been paying attention to her and witnessed her abnormality in its entirety. He then called out hastily, "Where are you going?"
"To throw up!" Amelia replied without looking back.
Without another word, Amelia then pushed her chair back, ran to a waiter, and asked him about the direction to the toilet.
