Looking at Meggie who pretended to be guilty, Amelia rubbed her wrist and said, "Meggie, if you focus on your work, your future in Roxxon will be brighter than in other listed companies. But all you think about is to flatter Mr. Hopper and threaten your rival in love."
Meggie thought that Amelia was ridiculing, but she didn't worry about her future at all. Because her father was a member of the board of directors of Roxxon Corporation! Even Patrick had to respect her father.
"Amelia, you don't have to worry about my future. Just worry about yourself. If I ask Mr. Hopper to fire you now, do you think he will agree?"
The big-eyed girl said quickly, "Meggie, Mr. Hopper likes you so much. Even if you want the stars in the sky, he will definitely pick them for you."
After they flattered Meggie enough, Amelia said to Meggie calmly, "You're not qualified to decide whether I should be fired. If you want Mr. Hopper to fire me, you must have a legitimate reason."
Seeing that Amelia was not frightened at all, Meggie said excitedly, "Amelia, you are right indeed. Unfortunately, you're old. Although your age can make you more capable in your resume, it's a burden in men's eyes. I hope you can remember the fact that you were abandoned by Mr. Hopper. Don't dream of seducing my man!"
"Let's go!" After that, Meggie winked at her friends, then they left the tea room in a threatening manner.
After they were left, Amelia took a sip of her tea. Her face was cold, and she was lost in thought.
Your man?
Meggie would never know that even as Patrick's wife, she did not have the confidence to say that Patrick was her man...
In the president's office.
Before Meggie broke into Patrick's office, the secretary stopped her.
Meggie glared at the secretary and said, "Mr. Hopper allows me to go in without informing him. How dare you stop me?"
The secretary looked at Meggie who was so arrogant, smiled and took a step back, "Please."
Meggie snorted arrogantly, pushed the door open and walked in.
Patrick didn't like offensive people. When he found that Meggie broke in without following the rules, he frowned slightly.
"Patrick!" Meggie rushed to him and threw himself into his arms.
Patrick's eyes turned cold in an instant, but he touched Meggie's hair gently and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Meggie said immediately, "I was bullied!"
Patrick asked with patience, "Is there anyone who dares bully you in the company?"
Meggie raised her watery eyes and said with coquetry, "Yes!" After a pause, she looked at Patrick's indulgent smile said, "When I went to the tea room, I met your former lover..."
Patrick lowered his head and asked with concern, "Did she do something terrible to you?"
"Yes! She threatened me that if I didn't stay away from you, she would throw acid on my face! My colleagues were all scared at that time."
Patrick asked in a pampering tone, "So what do you want to do?"
Meggie leaned against Patrick's arms softly, touched his chest with painted nails and said, "I... want you to help me."
Patrick stared at her expectant face and said yes. Then he asked his secretary to bring Amelia here.
