Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 24

After talking to the phone, Doris immediately reported to her boss, "Amelia, a piece of bad news -Mr. Miller is departing tomorrow morning."

"... Uh, any good news?"

"He promised to meet you at 7:30 tonight at room 101, Venice Hotel."

The lady boss was in deep thought - In other words, if the negotiation failed, we would lose such a cash cow?

"Doris, are you available then? We go together?"

With the assistant, Amelia might not be stuck.

Doris said pitifully, "Boss, I have an urgent blind date who asked me out several times... My parents are worried about my marriage and requested me to attend the meeting tonight... I'm sorry, boss."

Marriage was a big deal and Amelia was definitely sensible, so she did not force Doris to go with her. Instead, the lady boss wished her best, "Alright, good luck! If your knot is tied with him, I'll give you a big red packet as gift!"

Doris replied with an intention to reject, "What a joke! It's too early to promise this, boss!"

Before Doris leaving the office, the internal call suddenly rang.

Seeing the incoming call, Doris picked up the voice tube and made a mouth-reading gesture to her boss: Mr. Hopper.

Amelia was astonished as this was the first time that her husband trying to get in touch with her in the company. Usually, except for meetings, they had no contact with each other.

Receiving the voice tube from Doris, Amelia answered the call diffidently, "Hello Mr. Hopper, Amelia speaking. How can I help you?"

"Mr. Hopper?" The man's magnetic voice was full of coquetry. "We've seen and touched every inch of the bodies of each other. Don't you think you are too aloof?"

The capable lady took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Hopper, if there is nothing I can do for you, that's all."

"Wait! Bring me a cup of coffee. Be quick."

"Where is Mr. Hopper's secretary?"

"Um, she isn't here with me physically... at the moment."
