Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 623

"I didn't say I'm interested in real estate." Patrick scanned Amelia's face up and down, telling her indirectly that he was only interested in her.

Amelia frowned in discontent. "Then why do you have to join my social meetings? Do you want to rob my business? Or do you want to find some unneeded reasons to disrupt my business?"

Patrick said confidently, "As long as you promise me that I can join your meetings, I guarantee that your business won't decline from now on. Not only that, it will flourish, and earnings will flow in an endless stream."

"Hah, you're not trying to help me scout in more businesses, are you?"

"So what if I am?"

"As the president of Roxxon, instead of catering to your important tasks, you want to follow me around like an assistant and help Apex Construction Corporation get more businesses..."

Amelia cackled up halfway because Patrick's suggestion sounded ridiculous.

The moment his gaze met with Amelia's mocking eyes, blue veins pulsed on Patrick's forehead. He

asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Amelia crossed her arms and looked at him with a sly but composed look, "I wonder if you have a special interest in putting things back together after breaking them?"

Patrick was speechless.

Amelia smiled and said, "First, you destroyed the few contracts that I was striving for. Then now, you're telling me you want to join Apex Construction Corporation and help me get more businesses. Your definition of 'help' fascinates me."

Patrick's face tensed taut. "You don't believe me?"

Amelia parted her red lips slightly and replied, "I just feel that Mr. Hopper seems to regard Apex Construction Corporation as a toy, for you to toss and play around..."

She admitted she was holding some grudge against Patrick because of what happened involving Sissi. Adding on the unpleasant memories from last night, she had no choice but to question anything he said at this moment.

Patrick said, a coldness in his voice, "If I really do treat Apex Construction Corporation as a toy, then I could've crushed it under my thumb fairly easily. And yet, I chose to sit here and discuss it with you. Haven't you understand my intentions by now?"

Amelia's expression frosted. "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Sensing that her interest was rippled, Patrick added on hastily, "I'm not kidding, I really want to assist you."

Knowing how huge her ego was, he had to substitute the word 'help' with 'assist'.

After a pause, Amelia then told him, "I can't say for certain when my social meetings are going to be."

Patrick already had the answer to her question. "You can try your best to arrange your meetings after work. I can drive over to your office and pick you up."

Amelia then asked again, "What if you happen to have other plans when I need to attend the meetings?"

Patrick promised, "If possible, I'll postpone my plans. If I seriously can't make it, I hope you can postpone yours."

Amelia finally said her final question, "Is it better if I pay you a salary?"

Patrick broke into laughter. "Up to you."

If he accepted payments from Amelia, he would then be a casual worker of Apex Construction Corporation.

Given his status and net worth, no matter how wealthy or successful an enterprise was, they still

could not afford to hire Patrick.

He himself was a major shareholder and the boss, and there was no need for him to lift a finger for others.

But at this point, to please his wife and make up for the mistakes he had committed, Patrick was willing to do so.
