Although Patrick was rough, when he touched Amelia's right foot, he grew gentler subconsciously for fear of the slightest damage he would have done to her.
Realizing him being soft-hearted, Patrick cursed himself. This woman had betrayed him. Why on earth should he care about her feelings?
Standing at the door, the secretary guessed Patrick didn't hear the knock on the door and knocked another twice.
Amelia was even more nervous. She didn't dare to make a sound and could only beg Patrick to let go of her with her wet, pretty eyes.
Til ask them in, or I go out and meet my guest with you in my arms like this. What do you think?"
The coldness in Patrick's eyes showed that he wasn't joking.
"No!" Knowing that he was a man of his word, Amelia buried her face in his chest in horror so as not to prevent the man about to come in from seeing her.
Patrick stared at her trembling shoulders and listened to the knockings on the door from time to time. A flash of determination appeared in his eyes!
He reached out to pick up the suit jacket from the floor and put it on her carelessly before carrying her and walking towards the door!
Amelia was dumbfounded, assuming that Patrick was going to throw her outside. She hurried to put her hands on her face and shut her eyes as if she had been an ostrich. "Sorry, I was wrong! Don't throw me out like this..."
She cried so hard!
Patrick paused and looked down at the little woman in his arms. "You're scared now?"
Amelia was covering her face with her hands, so she missed the teasing on his face. She gave up, revealing her weakness. "You can punish me any way you want, but I don't want to be seen naked..."
"Little idiot." Patrick's voice came from above her after a while. "Open your eyes and see where you are."
Amelia kept shaking her head. Patrick must have brought her outside. She didn't want to meet the disdainful gazes of the secretaries, clients, and her colleagues.
It wasn't until Patrick threw her to the soft bed behind that Amelia cried out and started
to slowly open her eyes. The floor was never as soft
as the bed under her.
Realizing that Patrick had brought her to the break room next to his office, Amelia flushed and said gratefully and sadly, "You lied to me..."
Patrick stood next to the bed and looked down at her. "What's wrong with me lying to you? You even colluded with Ryan to act against me. Maybe you have long known about Ryan's solution. You didn't tell me because you were waiting to see me make a fool of myself, did you?"
Noting the coldness in his eyes, Amelia was chilled. She pulled over the quilt to wrap herself up and argued in a low voice, "I didn't... I did call to warn him, but I didn't know how he was going to deal with it."
"You didn't know? Do you think I will still believe you?"
Patrick swore that he would be pissed to death by Amelia sooner or later. She would protect all the people he wanted to take down!
It was understandable for Amelia to defend Jessica since they were friends. But who the h*ll was Ryan? Why should she care about him?
Amelia didn't know that what bothered Patrick was not the company's loss but that Amelia didn't put Patrick in the first place, which was worse than him losing tens of millions!
