"Sure!" Milton then followed Amelia into Amido Cafe.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After they entered, a lady in a black car was swallowing her saliva as she was sitting next to her superior.
Was she hallucinating? Wasn't the man who had just hugged Madam Ramsay Director Cook?
But that did not sound right. According to the rumors, Director Cook had already flown to Lintons Ads Company branch office in England. Could it be that he was back for a vacation?
However, regardless of the matter, why would Madam Ramsay hug Director Cook at the moment when Mr. Hopper decided to pass by Apex Construction Corporation and invite Madam Ramsay for lunch after a business deal
This was definitely playing with fire.
However, what pained her was every tine Madam Amelia did something wrong, the subordinates were the ones who suffered from Mr. Hopper wraith. "Madam Ramsay, please take the responsibility to put out the fire you lit!" The secretary shouted in her heart with grief and indignation.
At the same time, Patrick, who had witnessed the whole thing, slowly withdrew his gaze from them and looked at his secretary. "Miss secretary." "Yes!" Alas...
Upon hearing Patrick's words, the secretary immediately became serious. She knew that her life would depend on what Patrick was going to say!
Patrick glanced at her with a poker face. His eyes were so cold that it made the secretary shudder. "Why do you women always like to be hugged by men other than your husband?"
The secretary knew that this was a trap. She would suffer no matter what!
If she were to stand on Madam Ramsay's side, Mr. Hopper would definitely fly into a rage. If she was to stand on Mr. Hopper's side, Madam Ramsay would definitely be in deep trouble when she returned home!
The secretary thought about it over and over again. As Patrick's glance gradually became gloomy, she finally thought of an answer!
"Well, Mr. Hopper, I think there are many kinds of hugs between men and women, like the hug between Madam Ramsay and you. It must be a heartfelt hug to show her love ta you!
I'm sure Madam Ramsay's loving hug would be for you only! And for other hugs
For instance, like how Director Cook from the Linton Ads Company hugged Madam Ramsay moments ago, it was a symbol of friendship and a form of greeting!
To tell you the truth. I've kept count on them, they've hugged each other for around two seconds, maybe lesser than that.
Therefore, we can conclude that Madam Ramsay's act was just a form of courtesy! Do you think what I said makes sense, Mr. Hopper?" Patrick was silent for a while. His secretary's heart was about to burst out of her throat. Finally, he said, "Yes."
"Yes? Yes... of course!”
The secretary thought she had misheard him at the beginning, but after making sure that Patrick had agreed with her, she went praising the heaven for keeping her alive for another day.
Patrick pursed his lips and looked out of the window again. Even though Amelia and Milton were nowhere to be seen, he was still staring at the cafe with a sense of scrutiny and anger.
The secretary forced herself to ask, "Mr. Hopper, then what should we..."
Patrick raised a hand to stop the secretary, "We'll sit here and wait." "What? But, Mr. Hopper! You haven't had your lunch yet!" The secretary said hurriedly.
Patrick did not say anything.
The secretary could not bear to see her boss starve, so she immediately notified the driver in front of her about what she would do. She then grabbed her wallet, opened the door and rushed to the nearest restaurant.
Patrick had something on his mind, so he did not ask the secretary where she was going.
In Dinah Cafe.
After Amelia ordered two cups of hot drinks, she ordered several food and snacks.
Milton asked in surprise, “Wait, isn't this a cafe?"
Amelia handed the menu back to the waiter and said to Milton, “Everything can be in a hybrid mode these days. Do you have to make a fuss?”
At the moment, Milton only had Amelia in his heart and he would do whatever she says. "You're right, I'm making a fuss out of a molehill. I'm just a country bumpkin.”
"You're not a country bumpkin, you're an international bumpkin.” Amelia made fun of him with a smile on the corner of her lips.
"Well, ain't I? Guess what? This international bumpkin had brought back some rare and precious treasure from the other side of the earth."
Hearing Milton's exaggerated words, Amelia could not help but look forward to it. “What is it?"
However, the next second, Milton patted on his chest and shouted, "Me!"
"You?" Amelia pretended to disdain him and said, "Forget it then. I've been watching you for more than ten or twenty years. I'm tired of watching you." Milton was still smiling even when he was teased by Amelia. As long as Amelia did not curse him, he would agree with whatever she said.
Seeing that Amelia was too lazy to continue guessing, Milton revealed the mystery with regret. "Well, let's not leave you hanging anymore. This is what I brought for you."
As his voice fell, Milton took out a square box from his pocket. The box was only the size of his palm. But from his expression, the value of the box should not be underestimated.
Amelia stared at the box and asked intently, "What's this?”
Milton then raised his eyebrows handsomely like he was trying to please Amelia.
When he held the bottom of the box with one hand and opened the lid with the other, Amelia admitted that she was mesmerized by the thing in the box!
Seeing herSurprised expression, Milton fettthat she was more = breathtakingly beautiful than what he had-taken out. He could not resist the urge to make her his personal catlection. “
A few seconds later, Amelia looked away from the box and turned to Milton. "Is this a jade bracelet?” Milton nodded. "It is.” Amelia had limited knowledge in this aspect, so she could only guess. “It doesn't look like an ordinary jade?"
Milton said softly, "This is a Phoenix jade. It was named like this as it looks like the blood of a Pheonix had seeped into the jade. It is said to be a rare Spiritual Jade."
"Phoenix's bladed?" Amelia looked down and fetind that there was indeed a blood-red vein running <> through 1 the jade bracelet. However, the Plroenix was a legend afterall so she would not have to take itto her heart. __ S
"It's exquisite. Where did you get it?”
"At an auction in England.”
"Oh?" "But the Phoenix jade originates from the snowy highland in Tibet." Amelia could not help but sigh. "It's really exquisite and intriguing!”
Milton nodded and said, "That's why I took a fancy to it at first sight.”
"Wait a moment. "Amelia came closer and-found a line of strange”
