Amelia's eyes slowly turned to him and satisfied with the Hobart's dispirit. She said, "Mr. Smith, any new arrival? Just give me."
Before Hobart could say anything, the tall beauty took a step forward jealously, blocking his sight and complained, "Darling, aren't we leaving yet? I feel so tired for standing for long."
Hobart was tempted by the cunningness in Amelia's eyes, but he could only leave helplessly, "Okay, okay..."
The moment Hobart left, a hint of viciousness flashed across the tall beauty's eyes. She raised her hand and slapped on Amelia's face.
Feeling the aggression, Amelia raised her arm to block it reflexively. Even so, because they were too close to each other, the back of her hand was actually scratched, with five lines red marks left. She let out a muffled groan.
Hobart looked back subconsciously, but was blocked by the beauty, who said, "Darling, let's go to the jewellery shop."
Hobart withdrew his gaze and the tall beauty took the opportunity to cast a glance at Amelia like a warning but arrogance.
"Ms. Amelia, are you... okay?" Looking at the the back of Amelia's hand, which was almost bleeding, Zoey asked nervously.
Amelia blew her hand and smiled, saying, "No worries. Let me have the sales report for this month."
In the President's office of Roxxon.
The secretary knocked on the door and pushed the door open, telling Mr. Hopper that there was a Japanese partner wanting to see him.
Patrick turned to Maryanne and said, "Miss Maryanne, let the secretary to see you off."
But Maryanne walked to Patrick and grabbed his right arm with some reluctance and said, "No, my brother is shopping with in the department store and it would be boring for me to wait for them alone in the car."
Patrick didn't care about that and said, "But I have some work..."
Maryanne stared at Patrick's handsome face, unwilling to move away and said, "Just work on them. I'm sitting there and I won't disturb you."
The secretary coughed and said, "Hmm, Mr. Hopper..."
Maryanne was still young and had been spoiled by Hobart as a princess. Seeing the secretary hum a few times like a fly, she flared up, "What's wrong with you? Why do you interrupt me? Get out, I don't want to see you!"
"..." The secretary's mouth twitched, and waited for Patrick's order.
Patrick said in a low voice, "Invite the guests in." The secretary agreed and left quickly.
Mills was a partner of Roxxon, and even Patrick didn't dare to offend her, not to mention the secretary.
When the Japanese guests walked into the office, the secretary remembered that she hadn't served them coffee yet. When she was hesitating whether she should go in, she suddenly thought up someone.
Ten minutes later—
Seeing Amelia coming, the secretary's eyes lit up. She quickly put the coffee into Amelia's hand and said, "Ms. Amelia Ramsay, do me favour, please."
Confused, Amelia asked, "Why me?"
The secretary said gloomily, "I have no other option. Except me, no one at Roxxon comes to see Mr. Hopper more frequently than you."
Amelia did not know what to say. If she had known that the secretary called her for this matter, she wouldn't have come up at all.
