"Alright then. I'll send everyone downstairs." Amelia did not force any of them to stay.
After sending them to their vehicle and closing the door thoughtfully for them. Amelia stood by the window and waved her hand. "Be safe on your way back."
The vehicle drove away slowly from Amelia, they did not seem like in a hurry.
Amelia crouched as her smile slowly fade away and it was then replaced by exhaustion.
Looking up at the sign of Apex Construction Corporation on the top of the building, Amelia found that ever since she took over the company, troubles and issues kept popping out. She wondered if her father had faced the same issues as she did when he was in this position.
Amelia sighed, sometimes she really wanted to join venture with Patrick and let Apex Construction Corporation rely solely on him, so she could just be a titular chairperson. But then she remembered Patrick's distant attitude...
With another long sigh, she thought, "I'd better forget
it."
She then took the elevator back to her temporary office. Amelia had just opened the door when she smelled a strong aroma of tea.
As she turned her eyes, she saw Audrey putting a cup of tea in front of the guest like a maid.
Amelia felt an ache in her heart as she smelled the aroma. That was the best tea she had, It was a gift given by Howard when she visited the Hopper Mansion during Christmas!
Amelia had been reluctant to drink it because of its rarity and the amount that was given. Amelia had always brought it along with her wherever she went. What she did not expect was when she finally decided to put it in the office drawer, Audrey would have taken it out and serve it to some unimportant visitors!
What a reckless waste of a treasure!
But on the surface, Amelia still had to pretend that she did not care. After all, she could not say that Kaleb's gang was a pig, could she?
That was right. Just as the head of the Environmental Protection Bureau left, Kaleb and his men had arrived. They were holding their teacups and enjoying the best tea that she had save for herself!
"Wait a minute!"
Amelia saw that there was only a cup of tea left on the tea tray in the blink of an eye and Audrey intended to hand it over to someone irrelevant!
Amelia rushed over and grabbed the teacup. Under everyone's gaze, she lowered his head and sipped the cup but she did not drink the boiling hot tea. After all, she was afraid of being burnt by the boiling water. If she were to pour such hot tea into her mouth, she would definitely suffer.
As she put down the teacup, Amelia deliberately acted emotionally in front of Kaleb and the others and said, "It's so hot that I almost fell into heatstroke! Audrey, thank you for making tea but remember to make more next time. Don't leave the other directors thirsty."
The director whose teacup was robbed by Amelia had a slightly gloomy face at first, but after he heard Amelia's words, he felt that she did not really do it on purpose.
Therefore, he swallowed the sarcasm at the edge of his mouth and said instead, "President Ramsay, it doesn't matter. I'm not thirsty."
Beside him, Andrea said in a hurry, "I'm sorry, I'm going to make another glass now!"
Amelia said in a voice that was even more urgent than hers, "Well, be fast then!"
However, her heart was bleeding. Why was Audrey being so responsible and caring, couldn't she just leave after apologizing? My gosh...
The director whose teacup had been taken away was even more embarrassed. He immediately turned to Amelia and said, "Thanks a lot!"
Amelia threw up a fake smile and said, "You're most welcome..."
