Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 616

Ryker gave a soft cough and said, "Director Ramsay, with all due respect, your worry is not completely groundless. There's no knowing what is in a man's heart after all. And also, an outsider can't be as good as an uncle by blood, right?"

Amelia batted her eyelashes. "What do you mean?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just joking," smiled Ryker.

Amelia flashed a vicious smile as if Ryker had successfully pulled her into his trap of creating internal conflict in the office. "When I'm finally familiar with all the affairs of the company, I'll kick that old Jonathan out!"

Ryker's lips twitched and curled up in the slightest at the sound of this. He needed to find an opportunity to report to Kaleb the latest developments between Amelia and Jonathan.

At Land of Fragrance.

As Amelia was buzzing in the company, Patrick was also keeping himself busy by looking for an ideal teaching job for Sissi.

None of the schools dared to refuse any request from Patrick.

Not only did they dare not to say no, but they also showed great interest in the talent recommended by Patrick, eager to add 'Sissi Roberts' into their list of employees.

To which Patrick only said, "I'm not in a rush." Because he wanted to compare to see which offered the best.

If other schools had overheard Patrick's query, they would probably want to perish. It had always been them who picked their teachers and students, so since when were they differentiated and treated as options?

"I'm pretty familiar with your school. I'll contact you again if my friend is interested," said Patrick, then ended the call after saying goodbye.

After the call, Patrick stopped typing on the keyboard and put down the phone between his left cheek and shoulder with his right hand.

Looking up cooly at his laptop screen, a document that contained only the names of the most well-known universities was on display.

In his view, children in kindergarten and primary school were too noisy and active. And knowing Sissi, who was so attentive, the kids would tire her out.

As for high school students, they would be under tremendous pressure fortheir exams. And based on Sissi's personality, she would no doubt stay up late and craft lessons forthem.

He thought it over and over again, then landed his mind on universities, where she would have more free time and would not be exhausted every day.

The question was which university should she go.

If Patrick was to make this decision in the past, he would have decided for Sissi.

But things were different than before. It was better to let Sissi get into the details herself.

After a sigh of relief, Patrick picked up his phone next to the laptop and dialled for 'Unknown'.

Two hours later...

In front of a slightly rundown apartment parked a Lamborghini.

Through the car window, Patrick saw the name of the apartment on its gate. After confirming that this was the right address mentioned by Sissi on the phone, his eyes filled with deep pity.

Thinking back on the carefree life that Sissi had before she left him, and looking at her present living conditions at this moment, he felt that she was not 'living' at all, but merely 'surviving'.

Sissi was the daughter of one of the officers in Northville. Influenced by her mother, she had spent her time in university training to be a teacher, where her university counsellor was her own mother, who was a professor.

Such a beautiful woman with a good background, who had a steady job and love life, her future was looking bright and clear. However, she was driven out by her parents after she was exposed to being involved in a ridiculous incident. Overnight, Sissi found herself to have nowhere to go and no one to turn to.

Although knowing that she had brought this upon herself, it was still difficult for Patrick not to sympathize with her.

Sissi must have had a hard time the past few years in a place abroad where she had no relatives.

As the train of thought flew through his mind, Patrick opened the door and got off the car, approaching Sissi's residence.
