Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 2

As soon as the call ended, Amelia rushed the taxi driver to go faster, which made the driver grow more annoyed by the second.

Finally, Amelia arrived at the building of Roxxon Corporation on time.

Looking up from below, the building had stood tall and strong for more than 60 years, in the heart of Northville, the most prosperous city in the country. This had been the place where Amelia started working when she was fresh out of college three years ago.

3rd floor, sales department, office area.

'Good morning, Miss Ramsay.'

'Good morning, chief!'

'Morning everyone!' As soon as Amelia stepped into the office, she was greeted by her colleagues.

She worked hard in the Roxxon Corporation for three years, starting as a sales representative to a sales supervisor. Every step on the way, she managed to impressed her co- workers and subordinates with her outstanding performance and professional work ethics.

Doris, Amelia's assistant, followed her closely and said with relief, "Thank god you are here now, Miss Ramsay! Mr. Thompson just told me to call you again!"

'Thank you Doris.' Amelia gave Doris a pat on her

shoulder.

She didn't take the elevator to the conference room right away. Instead, she went back to her desk, took out a new set of clothes from her drawer. Then she went to the bathroom to get rid of her current wrinkled outfit thanks to Patrick Hopper.

Standing in front of the mirror, she stared at the marks on her neck as the "souvenirs" from the other night. She could barely cover them by pulling up her collar.

"Hey, have you guys heard? The soon- to- be-appointed executive officer came back from Europe. It's like a prodigal son returned!"

"What's wrong with that? You don't know much about his background, do you? You guys remember Howard Hopper? He is the former director who founded Roxxon and turned it into a world-renowned company." Seeing everyone nodded, the man continued excitedly, "And the one who will take over Roxxon today is Howard Hopper's youngest son!"

"That's odd. Howard Hopper has two sons. Yet he only asked his younger brother to lead Roxxon when he retired. It all changes until today. Won't he be afraid of a hostile takeover by others?"

"Well... Rumours said that the eldest son in the family was a bit of a bad apple. As for his second son, we will find out soon enough. Who knows? Maybe both of Hopper boys are not built to run Roxxon."

From the third floor to the 18th floor, Amelia silently listened to the gossip along the way. As soon as the elevator door opened, she followed the crowd and entered the conference room.

The name plates on the table were arranged in advance. Amelia casually glanced at the empty chair for an executive officer and wondered, "It's almost nine. And the legendary Mr. Hopper still hasn't showed up yet. Is this him sending all of us a message?"
