In the face of his refusal, Amelia pouted her lips and said, "If you don't help me, then I can only rely on myself."
Patrick's eyes were cold. Relied on herself? What else did she want to do with them in front of him!
"By the way, wouldn't it be boring for you if you came here in the middle of the night and didn't do anything?"
Amelia really could not understand and thought. "If he hadn't come to help her, why would he come to such a place? Isn't it better to stay at home and rest?"
Patrick was extremely angry but then he laughed and said, "Who said I had nothing to do? Watching you get aroused is what I want to do most at this moment."
This time, Amelia was choked by his words.
A derisive smile appeared on Patrick's lips. He ordered, "Now, get off my leg."
The corners of Amelia's eyes twitched. She tugged pitifully at his black coat. "Don't be so mean, please go easy on me in front of so many people."
However that was not enough to change Patrick's mind. "Get off." "Alright..."
People would only care about what they saw, they would never care about what they did not see. All men were equally the same in this way.
With a self-deprecating smile, Amelia let go of her arms around Patrick's neck and jumped down from his thighs.
The skirt's hemline wavered as she came down from Patrick's lap, she did not know how many sceneries had she revealed.
Fortunately, Patrick's eyes were sharp and deadly. All the other men in the box turned their heads away and did not see what happened.
Rubbing her slightly swollen forehead, Amelia picked up two cups and a bottle of whiskey from the coffee table.
Then she took three steps forward and poured the wine into the glass.
A moment later, she handed one of the glasses to Hendrix and said with a smile, "Director Lawrence, if I recall our agreement, as long as I drink with you to your heart's content, you will persuade the top management of the company to hand over the project to Apex Construction Corporation, right?"
After a while, Hendrix, who had not taken any
advantage of the situation managed to say, "Yes."
Amelia chuckled and said, "Then have we drank to your heart's content? If not, let's continue drinking."
Hendrix's eyes fell on the wine glass that she was holding up. As if he had made up his mind, he took it and drank it all!
"President Ramsay, this is to wish us all the best in our cooperation. I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
Amelia bowed her head and sipped a mouthful of whiskey as if she had won the game. However, she said nothing about being taken advantage of before, "Alright, Mr. Lawrence, take care."
Just as Hendrix was packing up his things and running away, Patrick said in a deep voice, "Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Hendrix paused and turned to look at Patrick. He asked politely and nervously, "Mr. Patrick, I'm here to discuss a project with your wife. Do you have any suggestions or advice?"
Huh, Hendrix was being polite now. Who was the one that called himself her 'husband' when she pretended to be drunk on the sofa just a moment before? Amelia let out a cold smile.
"I'm not dare to give advice." Patrick lifted his foot and stomp the peanuts that had fallen to the ground. After that, he looked at Hendrix evilly, Patrick was silently threatening him.
Hendrix froze. He felt that in Patrick's eyes, he could not be compared to the crushed peanut.
"Mr. Patrick, if you have any instructions, just say it. I'm listening!"
"Since you want me to speak, then I'll get straight to the point. I just don't think your enterprise is worthy of cooperating with the Apex Construction Corporation."
