Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 3

The silence lasted for two seconds.

The caller took the initiative and started talking, "Amy, it's dad."-

"Uh huh," Amelia responded.

George Ramsay seemed to have gotten used to her attitude long ago. So he just cut to the chase, "Go to Sakura at 7:30 p.m., I will introduce you to a young man. He is a son of a friend of mine. Very goodlooking. And his family is one of the richest families in Northville. If you are still interested after this, maybe have a few more dates with him. You don't have to getting married just yet if you don't want to."

Another one?

This is George's usual way to start a conversation with his daughter. Every time Amelia would refuse to go with all sorts of excuses. But when she realized she would be turning 25 after this year's birthday, she did not bother making up another excuse and simply said, "Okay, I'll go."

After work, Amelia had a bowl of noodles with wonton from a Chinese takeaway. After that, she went back to her apartment, took a quick shower and changed her outfit again. When her roommate Jessica Albert was curious about what the occasion was, she simply replied, "Another blind date." Then off she went.

She arrived at Sakura at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Being late was never her nature.

A waitress in her neatly pressed kimono notified her co-workers of a new customer as she gently opened the door for Amelia.

"Howard, this is my eldest daughter Amelia." "Amy, this is Uncle Hopper."

As soon as she walked into the reserved dining room, her father could not wait to introduce her.

Right after George stopped talking, the young man who was sipping a cup of tea turned his head leisurely. He held his jade green cup lightly with his fingertips. Despite the room filled with cigar smoke, it could not hide his impeccable eyebrows and indifference he gave about the occasion.

After Patrick's eyes met with Amelia's, Amelia's pupils slightly contracted, and she greeted calmly, "President Hopper."

"President?"

The two fathers, Howard and George, were stumped at first, then gradually showed a smile as they seem to understand what was going on. Amelia had worked in Roxxon for several years while Patrick only joined the company recently as leadership on day one. Since Howard and George thought they had never met before, the two fathers thought Amelia and Patrick would need some time getting to know each other. Who would have thought Patrick had left Amelia quite an unforgettable impression long ago.

In that case, it would save a lot of time for what happens next.

Patrick's eyes widened when he saw his blind date was actually the same woman he shared a bed with the other night.

Amelia, is it? She was not only an employee of his company, but also the woman Howard wished to be his daughter-in-law.

"Amy, take a seat and tell them about yourself." Watching Amelia just standing in front of Patrick, George reached out and tapped her shoulder, signalling her to sit on the zabuton.

Amelia snapped out of it and crossed her legs to sit down. Then Howard tried to start another conversation, "Miss Ramsay, do you still remember me?"
