However, before Amelia could go any further she was dragged back by Patrick.
Amelia did not hold back this time, she tried to shook off Patrick's hand. However, due to the disparity in strength, she rolled into his arms with a slight pull.
Patrick then wrapped his arm tightly around her chest.
Not only that, he even placed his jaw on top of her head. At this moment, the outsiders were regrading her as Patrick's bolster!
His calm voice floated over her head. "I haven't allowed you to leave yet."
Amelia was extremely annoyed by Patrick's behaviour. Especially when the group of shop assistants had their eyes focused on her, she really wanted to hide out of embarrassment!
Unexpectedly, the group of female shop assistants who were looking at her did not make fun of her. Instead, they were all jealous of what they saw.
"Oh my gosh... If I could be held by Mr. Hopper like this, I would really die without any regret!" "Maybe a hug is too much to ask for, just let me lean on him and I'll be truly grateful!"
"If leaning on him is too much to ask for, how about just let me touch him!"
"If touching him is still too much to ask for, just let me smell him!"
Amelia was really speechless!
Seeing Amelia's sad expression, the manager smiled and tried to help her out. "Madam Ramsay, I have something to tell you. Please don't leave in a hurry."
Amelia was busy trying to get out of Patrick's tightening grip. When she heard the manager's words, she asked subconsciously, "What's the matter?"
"The first thing is..." The manager took out a pair of scissors from her pocket and cut the name tag hanging on Amelia's clothes. "That should do it."
Amelia was stunned for a moment, then she turned around and glared at Patrick. It was all his fault, he made her so angry that she forgot all about this!
Then, the manager took a garment bag from the clerk but she did not hand it to Amelia immediately. "This is the dress you wore here but I noticed that it seemed to be tore? If Madam Ramsay doesn't mind, you can put the dress here for the moment. I can ask the dress maker to mend it."
Amelia's eyes lit up. "Really?"
The manager replied, "Yes, as long as Madam Ramsay agrees with it."
Amelia would agree at all cost, "That's great! I'll leave it to you then!"
As her voice fell, she wanted to hold the manager's hand to express her gratitude but Patrick's hand was wrapped around her elbow, so she could not lift her hand.
Amelia was very angry that Patrick treated her as a pillow.
Ignoring the anger emanated from Amelia, Patrick dominated her at ease. He then looked down at the manager and said, "Are you done with your words?"
The manager said immediately, "Yes, yes..."
"Then let's go." Patrick said this to Amelia in his arms.
Before being dragged out of the clothing store by Patrick, Amelia repeatedly instructed that the dress must be restored to its original state no matter what. The manager then smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to make it perfect again!"
Amelia felt relieved as she left. Originally she had planned to pay a visit to the Scarlet Clothing Company and meet Tiffany and the others but she did not expect the manager here to be so sensible and reasonable. "I like her!"
She muttered casually but Patrick sneered in his heart, "It's a pity that I don't like her."
