Amelia lost count on how many time had she flipped her hair to the back of her ears. She was really in a bad mood as she had been searching for the button for the window for a while but she just could not find it.
Thinking that Kaiden's car was as eccentric as his character, Amelia gave up. Instead, she turned to Kaiden who was driving and asked, "Kaiden, can you close the window?"
"What?" Kaiden said absent-mindedly. He was focused on enjoying the faint fragrance from Amelia's hair.
He would never tell her that he kept the window open on purpose. It was the first time that he had experienced the feeling of being enchanted by someone's hair since he was born. It made him feel terrified but somehow expectant.
Perhaps... the woman sitting next to him was the one who could cure him of his Misogyny!
Although Kaiden was not speeding and Amelia's hair would not be blown away. Amelia was really getting irritated because her long hair was flying wild!
She tilted her eyes and saw that her hair was fondling Kaidens. However, Kaiden was as calm as a millpond and did not complain at all.
As if he had noticed her gaze, Kaiden said, "As a matter of fact, you look better if you don't tie your hair."
Amelia replied with a 'thank you’ dismissively because she believed that Kaiden was sugar-coating his words just to deceive her again.
But that was not the case.
After Amelia untied her ponytail, her shoulder-length long hair made her face smaller and much prettier. If it were not for her identity and the clothes she wore all day long, she would look as good as a 20-year-old university student.
As her husband, Patrick had never told her these words.
Over time, Amelia began to ignore her appearance. Perhaps this was Patrick's ultimate goal, he wanted to weaken the innate advantage brought by her appearance so that she would not seduce any other men.
A familiar ringtone interrupted their conversation. Amelia had not put her phone down since the call with Patrick. She lowered her head and saw Audrey's name floating on the screen.
Amelia was shocked. After hearing that Kaiden was willing to take her to Sawyer's banquet, she was so happy that she forgot to call the company and ask for a leave.
She swiped through the answer button and said 'hello' gently. Since Audrey was a newcomer introduced by Jonathan, she did not want to scare Audrey by her tone.
Audrey asked weakly, "Director Ramsay, the company's regular meeting will start soon. When... when will you be here?"
Amelia sighed and explained, "I have something urgent at the last minute, I couldn't make it to the meeting."
"What?" Her tone changed a little. "If you are not here, we will not have a leader to make the necessary decisions..."
Amelia grinned. She was pleased as Audrey called her as 'a leader'.
It turned out that she had unconsciously risen to such a high position in the eyes of the employees in the company.
Ahem, but in fact, sometimes this was just a compliment from the subordinates to their boss.
"Audrey," Amelia called out her assistant's name lightly. "Tucker is a trusted assistant of mine. He will be in charge of today's regular meeting."
Kaiden listened to the conversation aside quietly. If he were to get rid of all his negative emotions towards Amelia. Her voice was actually very soothing and comforting. For him, women were always noisy and annoying, but this time...
He was thinking of whether Amelia could call his name using the tone she had just used on Audrey...
