Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 25

Pulling open the drawer and gave her a magazine. "Just go through it and let me know which one you like."

Amelia glanced the cover, on which printed this year's latest sedans, and asked, "Is it your mom's idea?"

Patrick smiled and said, "But also mine. You know you're my wife and I care about you. The Little Sheep exposes you to the bad weather and you are so vulnerable to get sick."

Amelia revealed his hypocritical intention and asked, "Isn't it because of the shame?"

Patrick smiled and blamed her, "Someone's current identity tells what she should and shouldn't do. You can give a cold shoulder to my kindness, but if one day you ruin the reputation of The Hopper Family, I won't let you go!"

"Except The Hopper's and The Ramsay's, who else knows that I'm your wife?" Patrick felt a slight of frustrated while Amelia shook her head and said, "No, not a single one. If not, how could I ruin your reputation?"

Patrick didn't expect her to fight back like this. After a moment of silence, Patrick said in a colder voice, "Well, even if no one knows who your husband is, a luxurious car makes your life easier. Now you are one of the company's directors. When you go for a negotiation, they would think you are a deliveryman."

Amelia turned speechless and thought.

She was really rejected by clients or business partners before. Sometimes she questioned by the HR of other companies whether the salary of a Roxxon director was too low to afford a car?

But who knew how hard she had worked?

When she got her first job at Roxxon, the basic salary of the intern was only $400. In addition, she denied the financial support from her father and rented an apartment with Jessica. She led a hard and simple life in those years. Later, she was promoted due to the excellent performance and her life gradually became better.

It was the fourth year since she worked, but there was only $14,000 in her account, so how could she afford a car? Even if she could buy one, other expenses like fuel and service would be beyond her budget.
