Amelia understood what Patrick wanted to do. She immediately ran to the second floor with bare feet. However, Patrick pulled her back before she could run away.
When they fell onto the carpet, Patrick put his palm under her body considerately in order not to hurt her back.
Looking at Amelia's vigilant face, Patrick smiled and said, "We have had sex for so many times. Why are you still so shy?"
Amelia didn't except that Patrick would say these shameful words so straightforwardly!
Feeling ashamed and angry, Amelia begged him, "My face is injured. Please let me go."
Patrick said slowly, "I won't kiss your face."
Amelia flew into a rage, "Patrick, do you have any sympathy?"
Being stared at by Amelia's angry eyes, Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "I have spent most of my sympathy on you. Are you still not satisfied?"
"Really? I don't think so."
"You're a heartless woman. I don't expect you to understand."
Although this was only a joke from Patrick, Amelia felt painful in her heart. She pretended to be unconcerned and played with his tie, "The most vicious thing is the woman's heart. It seems that you know women so much."
The expression in Patrick's eyes changed slightly. He suddenly wanted to know what the real Amelia was like and when she would show her true emotions in front of him.
But it didn't matter, because they had years ahead of them.
The next day, in Roxxon Corporation.
Cynthia was pouring tea for her leader of the department. She was absent-minded, and the hot water in the cup spilled out, which scalded her and made her shiver.
She removed her hand quickly and put the tea on the manager's table gently. When she was about to leave, the manager stopped her and said, "Okay, Mr. Hopper, I'll ask Cynthia to go upstairs to see you immediately."
After hanging up the phone, the manager said to Cynthia with disdain, "Did you hearthat? Mr. Hopper asks you to see him."
Cynthia knew that the manager didn't like her. She answered timidly and left in a hurry.
After Cynthia left, her colleagues whispered, "Mr. Hopper has ignored Cynthia for two months. But he looks for her again."
The manager held a cup of tea and said sharply, "Cynthia can't attract Mr. Hopper for too long. She is a hollow person."
In the president's office.
Cynthia stood in front of Patrick and called him nervously.
Patrick's expression was no different from usual, "Sit down."
Cynthia looked at the chair and thought that it was inappropriate for her to sit down. Then she said timidly, "I'd better stand and listen to you."
"Okay." Patrick did not force Cynthia to sit down. He opened the drawer and handed over a red envelope to her, "This is your salary for this month. Cynthia, you have been fired."
Cynthia was shocked. After a while, she asked nervously, "Mr. Hopper, did I do something wrong? Tell me, I can change."
Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "You sent my mom that video yesterday, didn't you?"
Cynthia avoided Patrick's sharp eyes with a guilty conscience and said with her voice trembling, "... No!"
Patrick thought that Cynthia would be honest. Unexpectedly, she refused to admit it.
"You changed a new phone card and sent it to my mother anonymously. You were indeed very clever, but you forgot that you're the only one who knows that Amelia is my wife in the whole company. If it was not you who sent the video, who else could it be?"
