Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 247

Amelia sneakily tugged at Patrick's jacket to change the subject, "Mr. Hopper, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see you," Patrick said bluntly.

Amelia was stunned. "What do you want to see me about?"

"Let's have dinner together," Patrick said. He nimbly hooked a small chair over with his feet and sat next to Amelia.

By this time, the secretary had flattered Patrick with a box lunch, but he gave her a meaningful glance that made the secretary nervous.

Patrick acted as he went back home, not at all polite, and Amelia couldn't help but ask, "How much did you really pay the crew?"

Patrick chuckled softly and lowered his voice to ask, "When did you become so interested in finance?"

Amelia, not wanting to be misunderstood by him, shrugged her shoulders and said, "No,just asking."

Remaining aware of Shawn looking at them from time to time, Patrick smirked and moved closer to Amelia, his hand with the chopsticks rubbing against the back of Amelia's hand frequently, clearly taking advantage of her.

Shawn was watching the scene clearly from the sidelines, he was angry and clearly displeased with Patrick's despicable behavior, and he thought Amelia was being workplace harassed by her boss but was too afraid to stop it.

"Patrick..." Amelia suddenly called his name.

Shawn was surprised and thought to himself that Amelia couldn't help but vocalize Patrick, and he planned to join her in bashing Patrick for being an unscrupulous boss!

Patrick said, "Yes?" He was still eating slowly.

With chopsticks in her mouth, Amelia looked longingly at the crab meat in Patrick's lunchbox and said, "Aren't you allergic to crab? Why don't you give it to me and I'll take care of it for you."

Patrick laughed, and after placing the box lunch in front of Amelia, he put a little bit of crab meat into hers and asked a petulant, "What else do you want to eat?"

After asking Patrick for so much crab meat, Amelia was embarrassed and said, "No more, you can have it."

"See?" Ursula said lightly to the strange- looking Shawn, "They're couples."

Towards the end of the meal, Patrick naturally picked up Amelia's mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and was about to drink it. Amelia was so frightened that she dropped her chopsticks and hugged his lifted arm, "Don't drink it!"

Patrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"Because... "Amelia licked her lips nervously and was about to make up an excuse, but Shawn, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Hopper, I've had this water. You can drink the rest if you don't mind indirect kissing."

As soon as Shawn finished his words, the whole place fell into silence.

Ursula helplessly held his forehead as he could envision how rough Shawn's acting career would be after that.

Facing Shawn's smug look, Patrick's grip on the mineral water bottle gradually increased, and made a shrinking creak of the bottle.

During that time, Patrick took a glance at Amelia and looked indifferent, "I didn't know that you have a penchant for sharing a glass of water with other people."

"This is a misunderstanding!" Amelia simply replied, "It was Shawn who choked on his food and took my water by mistake."

Afraid that Patrick wouldn't believe her, Amelia emphasized, "The secretary here and Agent Cullen have seen it, and they can testify for me!"
