My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 302

"Hello? Please say something, Richard." Amy got anxious since Richard had been in silence for a while.

"I have a meeting right now." Richard couldn't explain the situation to Amy properly, so he found an excuse to avoid the topic.

"You..." Amy didn't finished her sentence while Richard's phone was dead.

Richard tried to find the charger, but he couldn't find it.

"Mr. Carter, we are waiting for you to voice your vote." a worker came in to ask Richard to join the meeting while he was going to give an explanation to Amy by using the telephone. The members in the board of directors had arrived. Today, they were going to vote on the resort project and the hypermarket project, both proposed by Richard.

"OK, I'm coming." Richard grabbed his files and went to the meeting room.

Amy was so upset that she called him again. But he couldn't be reached out both from his phone and the office telephone.

‘Fine. I will do it myself if you don't want to cooperate with me.' Her anger boiled away soon.

Amy reviewed the plan and then asked Finnley to budget the money so as to estimate how much capital was needed.

Richard didn't convince other members at the meeting. Other members were friends with Halbert, so they voted against the project collaborated with Newell Group out of the reasons that Richard had done nothing to get revenge for Halbert and Newell Group was owned by the murderer of Halbert.

"Richard, it's essential to win people's heart. I will get revenge for father since you don't." Jacob said to Richard crossly.

Some members sighed when watching what was going on between the two brothers. Most of them left with Jacob.

"Richard, every hero fails to pull through beauty pass. You should think about it." some offered advice to Richard.

Richard had a face like a fiddle. Jacob had become the second largest shareholder only next to Richard after receiving the shares from Grandma Eva. Therefore, he had more say in decisions of the company. Besides, he had spread the saying that Richard was unwilling to get revenge for their father and established cooperation with the enemy. And the members of the board of directors bought it.

So, Richard was in a difficult circumstance in the company.

Richard came back home after work. He was both physically and mentally tired, which led to a fever in the midnight.

He might have been dead if Cathy hadn't checked on him because of losing sleep.

"Richard, are you back?" Cathyopened the door and found it was silent inside. Usually, she could hear the noise of the door when Richard came back from work. But she didn't hear any sound today, so that she came to see if her son returned home out of concern.

She walked in the room and found Richard fell asleep without undressing. She tried to wake him up to undress.

"Amy! Amy! Don't leave me." Richard suddenly grabbed Cathy. It startled her.

She felt the hand grabbing her was hot. And then she touched his forehead which was also hot. In a hurry, she called the family doctor to treat him.

Richard didn't recover until three days later. During the three days, he was befuddled. He kept seeing Amy was staring at him, but she was gone when he tried to reach her. He got into a flap, worrying that Amy would leave.

He woke up finally when he held a hand. "Amy."
