Chapter 192
Patrick gently held Yvonne's waist with one hand and held her hand with the other hand. After hearing her words, his footsteps paused slightly, "Is this why your father become my business partner?"
Yvonne said nervously, "My father wants to pair me off with you in Northville because we have known each other since childhood. For the sake of my honesty, don't stop the cooperation with him halfway!"
Patrick said ruthlessly, "We've known each other since high school, but it's impossible for me and you to be together."
Yvonne smiled and said, "I know that many women like you, but I've had someone I like. If it weren't for the fact that you're my father's business partner, I wouldn't have accompanied him to come here tonight."
Patrick laughed and suddenly felt relaxed.
Although Boss Yun was old, he was very skillful at dancing. He held Amelia's hand and asked blandly, "You're so good at dancing. Do you often attend social activities with Mr, Hopper?"
Amelia said modestly, "You flatter me. I rarely attend such an occasion with Mr. Hopper."
Boss Yun began to sound out her intention, "Is that so? But I feel that Mr. Hopper cares about you so much. I thought you are a couple."
Amelia smiled and didn't say yes or no.
Boss Yun didn't hear any useful information from Amelia's words. However, for the sake of his daughter's happiness, he decided to ask again, "What do you think of Yvonne?"
Amelia replied honestly, "She is young and beautiful, and she has a nice family."
Boss Yun smiled more happily as he asked, "Do you think she and Mr. Hopper are well matched?"
Amelia touched her forehead and thought, "Is it really good for you to ask Mr. Hopper's wife this question?"
Boss Yun noticed Amelia's smile and thought that she was mocking his over-confidence, so he said seriously, "With my identity, I don't need to talk to you like this. I respect you, so I asked you that question."
In fact, Amelia really wanted to laugh because of Boss Yun's serious tone. She lowered her head quickly in case she would really laugh out loud.
When Boss Yun saw Amelia lowering her head, he was in a good mood because he thought that she was listening to him obediently, "I can see that Mr. Hopper is very considerate to you. This kind of consideration can only be found between lovers. But... do you know what rich people care about the most when they get married?"
Amelia bit her lip hard. She really wanted to laugh out loud. It seemed that Boss Yun really wanted her daughter to marry Patrick.
Boss Yun thought that Amelia didn't understand his words, so he continued to teach her, "Rich people all want marriages between families of equal social rank. Yvonne has a rich background, but you... don't have. You'd better stay away from Mr. Hopper. Otherwise, you're wasting your time and your heart will be hurt."
Boss Yun was an expert in business, but he was so naive when he thought about love.
Did he think that Patrick would fell in love with Yvonne as long as she stayed away from him? He didn't know that Patrick would refuse Yvonne.
Finally, Amelia couldn't control herself and laughed out loud. Boss Yun was confused. He thought that his words stimulated Amelia and she became crazy.
"Are you okay?" Boss Yun was so nervous that he got closer to Amelia to see what was going on with her.
Seeing this, Patrick got so angry.
"Ah! It hurts!" Yvonne suddenly screamed in pain, because Patrick suddenly held her hand with great strength and her hand was almost crushed by him.
Patrick came to sense and let go of Yvonne's hand in a hurry. He looked down and found that her whole hand had turned red because of his uncontrollable strength, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Yvonne shook her hand unconcernedly and said with a smile, "You are always absentminded when you are separated from Miss Amelia Ramsay. Who is she to you?"
"My female companion." Patrick said calmly, but his heart was full of anger.
"I think she is your girlfriend! Your eyes can't deceive me. I thought that Sissi has come back to you again just now when you looked at Miss Amelia Ramsay."
Both of them were stunned after Yvonne said this.
Seeing Patrick's gloomy eyes, Yvonne said awkwardly, "Well... I didn't mean to mention her."
Patrick's eyes were cold and he seemed to dislike this topic very much.
"I heard that there's something wrong with Sissi's marriage recently..."
"It's none of my business." Patrick's voice was so cold, which made Yvonne unable to say what she was going to say.
At this moment, the music was changed into a cheerful song, which meant it was time to exchange the dance partner.
Patrick couldn't wait to let go of Yvonne and turned back to look for Amelia. However, a strange man walked to her first...
Not only Patrick, but also Amelia was surprised. She looked at the man who was wearing a mask and asked nervously, "Sir, do we know each other?"
Although there were many men and women who wore masks to cover their faces, the man who was dancing with her had an imposing manner that was no worse than Patrick. She even felt that this man was not easy to deal with.
Just when Amelia thought that he would not answer, he replied her in standard Mandarin, "No."
Chinese? This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Since he was a Chinese, Amelia was less wary, but she still wanted to leave, "Sir, since we don't know each other, can you please let go of me? My friend is waiting for me."
"Is there a rule that only people who know each other can dance together? No one was born to know another one. Am I right?" The man smiled and said, which made him look gentler.
Hearing his reasonable words, Amelia thought that it was impolite to leave him directly. She simply took a step back, trying to stay away from him slowly.
But the man spun and brought her moving feet back. After several times, her ankle was almost sprained.
Amelia looked at Patrick, only to see him chatting happily with Boss Yun and his daughter, completely ignoring her.
Her eyes turned gloomy and she felt a dull pain in her heart.
The man pinched her hand and said with a smile, but his voice sounded a little unhappy, "Miss, don't you know that you have to be focused while dancing?"
"Why should I be focused? I don't even know you. If you don't want to bring shame on yourself abroad, let me go as soon as possible." Amelia said unfriendly.
"You like a kitten who likes to lose temper. Interesting..." The man said teasingly, "But we haven't finish this song yet. Now you drive me away, I'm a little embarrassed."
