Amelia laughed lightly and contemptuously, "You are the baby who is spoiled by your fans and agency. Not to mention whether you are respectful to work or not, just your behavior of running out of the hospital without saying anything is irresponsible! I used to be really blind to like your shows!"
Unexpectedly, Shawn turned from anger to joy upon hearing that Amelia liked his shows. "What shows of mine you appreciate? How does it feel? Is it at a level where I can win awards?"
"You..." Not expecting Shawn to change so quickly, Amelia was surprised and gave him a confused look, "Are you running a fever, or you feel a little delirious, don't you?"
"With all the injections and pills yesterday, my fever has already gone." As if afraid Amelia wouldn't believe him, Shawn suddenly took her hand and pressed it to his head.
"Hey, you, don't touch me!" Amelia tried to pull back, but Shawn didn't want to let it go as he felt her hand small and soft.
During their struggle, Amelia moved too much and accidentally took off the cap that Shawn was using to hide his face.
"Ah!" Shawn screamed and immediately raised his hands to cover his face as Amelia picked up the grey cap from the floor and put it on Shawn.
Amelia said in a worried tone, "Get out of here before anyone notices, I'm afraid you'll be seen."
Shawn pressed his hand firmly against his cap and whispered to Amelia, "I'm here for your boss! Wouldn't it be a lack of willpower for me to leave before I've even met him?"
Amelia glanced at him faintly, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Hopper isn't interested in snogging male celebrities, and he won't look down on you even if you come here a hundred times."
"You! What are you babbling about!" Shawn heard her words, his eyes wide with irritation.
Amelia said provocatively, "Am I wrong? Isn't it because you love Patrick that you came to see him on your own and risked being caught on camera by fans and reporters when it was obvious that an agent could have coordinated with him?"
Shawn blushed momentarily from embarrassment and was stuttered from anger, "I like women, you hear me? Little rabbit!"
Amelia rudely retorted, "Little rabbit? I'm half a year older than you, you got it?"
Shawn was shocked again, "How is that possible, you look... obviously very young."
Then his gaze creeping over her chest.
Amelia as well took a look at his lower half and spoke playfully, "Hey, little brother?"
Shawn flinched and very angrily glared at Amelia and shouted, "I'm wearing baggy pants, you don't know if it is 'little brother' or 'big brother'!"
He raised his voice, drawing the suspicion of some nearby passersby, fearing he'd actually exposed himself, Shawn awkwardly turned and ran away, abandoning his argument with Amelia for the moment.
Amelia was worried about his sense of direction, shouted at his back, "Hey! Remember to take a cab back so you don't get lost!"
The next day, in Roxxon Corporation.
Amelia came to work today and noticed that her coworkers were looking at her strangely. The way was similar to the time when she and Patrick were having an affair.
She concentrated on her thoughts for a moment only to find she and Patrick had been keeping quite a distance from each other at the office lately.
She felt baffled all the way to the sales department, and there was no further tragedy in the process like the last time she tripped over someone.
No sooner had Amelia sat down than Doris rushed impatiently over to her, Doris grabbed her arm and said excitedly, "Amelia! I never thought you'd be this kind of person!"
"What?" Amelia did not understand what Doris meant at all.
