In the bedroom.
Patrick threw Amelia to the wall and asked aggressively before she could stand firmly, "What do you think? Do you have anything to say this time?"
Amelia rubbed her somewhat painful arm and lowered her head, "I didn't deny it and I didn't admit it either. It was you who misunderstood."
Patrick frowned, "You're really stubborn!"
Amelia could not bear it anymore, "Patrick... I've been looking for you all night!"
At first, Patrick was stunned. He said disdainfully, "Can you make up a decent excuse please. You told Hayden that you were waiting for the sunrise at the top of the mountain. Now, right in front of me, you're telling me you have been looking for me all night. Are you going to use the same tricks like you did in front of me and Ryan? Unfortunately, I won't be cheated again this time!"
After finishing his sarcastic words, Patrick did not want to look at her anymore. Just like when he arrived, he slammed the door and left.
Amelia's body shook and she said in a downcast tone, "I really didn't lie to you this time around..." However, it was too late to say anything. Patrick and she were already separated from each other by the door.
Amelia fell down on the bed and a cold voice sounded in her heart. "You reaped what you sow!"
All of a sudden, the sound of something being broken came from Patrick's bedroom. The suffocating feeling that she had just experienced in the bathroom came to her mind immediately. Amelia slowly put her hand on her head and curled up her body bit by bit. This posture seemed to make her feel peaceful.
Inside the master bedroom, Patrick's face was still terrible after he had finished throwing things around. All this while, he had gradually placed his trust in Amelia's hands. But what about her? She had completely failed to live up to his trust!
His cell phone on the bed suddenly rang.
He grabbed the phone impatiently and saw that it was a number without any caller ID. Patrick hung up the call without hesitation.
After hanging up, it rang again.
Patrick raised his eyebrow and he thought it must be a client whose contact he had forgotten to save. He took a deep breath and answered, "Patrick Hopper here."
His tone was a bit rude because of his unstable mood.
The person on the phone was impolite as well. He asked, "Patrick, did Amelia meet up with you?"
Patrick had a different understanding of meet up. He asked, "Are you asking if she came home?"
Ryan wanted to ask if Amelia had caught up with Patrick. However, when he heard what Patrick said, it seemed as if nothing was wrong so he answered, "Yes, I just wanted to make sure that she reached home safely."
Patrick asked, "Why didn't you call her if you wanted to know?"
Ryan sounded anxious and helpless. "If it wasn't for the fact that Amelia's cell phone was turned off, I wouldn t have disturbed you. If you have any news about Amelia, please tell me!"
"Please?" Patrick's expression grew colder when he heard Ryan's words. "You just stayed overnight together with her on top of the mountain for one night. Where's your pride?"
Ryan was unwilling to ask Patrick for help with the marketing problem and now he was actually begging Patrick? Patrick thought that he had misheard the conversation.
Ryan had been chewing his words "overnight" on the phone. For some reason, his voice had grown heavy. "Do you think that I'm the one who's been with Amelia all night?"
"Then who else?"
"Did that mean she had been looking for you all night and still couldn't find you?" Ryan sighed, "If I had known that she couldn't find you, I wouldn't have let her leave the mountain alone. She couldn't find you and now she was the one who got lost?"
His words made Patrick's pupils shrink.
'Patrick... I spent the whole night looking for you.'
