In the end, Amelia didn't tell Patrick what happened in the store. Since he had decided to stand up for Cynthia, there must have been many reasons for him to be invulnerable. She did not want to humiliate herself.
*
With a "bang", the door closed while Amelia acted as if she had never been here.
Patrick's arm on the desk was stretched out. He wondered if Amelia felt innocent at the moment she left.
"It can't be!" He assumed.
She was proud and stubborn. She was always in an invincible position. How could she cry?
At this time, Cynthia quietly came behind him and asked cautiously, "Sir, did I make Madam Amelia unhappy?"
Patrick couldn't describe how he felt but said, "Go back to your work and leave me alone."
Cynthia opened her mouth, but didn't say anything and left quietly.

"Yes, I want to be on leave..."
In the toilet, Amelia's voice was hidden in the sound of flush, which could not be heard clearly.
The HR department asked her how many days off she wanted to be on.
Holding her forehead, Amelia said tiredly, "I can't decide for now. When I want to come back, I'll let you know."
After the HR department agreed, Amelia opened the door and found that Ms. Lily was refining the makeup, so she greeted her.
Seeing Amelia was in a bad mood, Ms. Lily gave her the liquid foundation.
Accepting Ms. Lily's kindness, Amelia looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't sleep well at night and the black circle around her eyes made her look very listless.
Ms. Lily asked while tying up her hair, "My dear, are you okay?"
Amelia stopped for a second and she said with a reluctant smile, "Yep."
"You've got too much pressure?" Ms. Lily asked.
Amelia made an "hmm" sound that could not be heard.
With the tied-up hair, Ms. Lily looked like an elite, saying, "I have a task and need to go to Riverdale for a business trip. If you like, you can go with me and let go of your bad mood by the way."
The Riverdale was beautiful and the scenery was unique. It was indeed a good place to have fun. Thinking of the frequent conflicts with Patrick, it was better to stay far and relax herself.
Amelia got interested and asked, "When?" "I'll leave tomorrow and I'll have the ticket booked for you." Ms. Lily said, At home.
Patrick came home early tonight, but Amelia was earlier than him. Tidying up the table and hearing Patrick's footsteps, Amelia did not even raise her eyelids.
Looking at the table, Patrick blurted out discontentedly, "Why didn't you wait for me for dinner?"
Amelia answered with indifference, "I didn't know when you will be back. If I cook too much, they will be wasted."
Sounded reasonable, but her indifference drove him crazy, "Despite waste, you have to prepare the meal for me. You are my wife, so you must serve me wholeheartedly at home!"
Hearing the aggressive orders, Amelia sneered and said, "At office, I work hard. At home, I have to serve you. Do you think you're the only one who's tired?"
As her voice fell, Amelia immediately shrugged the duster cloth off his shoulder.
