Amelia then stood upright and nodded apologetically to Kaleb and the rest.
After that, she reached out and pushed open the office door, inviting them inside and said, "Everyone, let's talk inside. I'll let Mr. Scott make a cup of coffee for everyone. He makes great coffee, so good that it makes me go, 'Hmm...' The tastes linger on you!"
Noticing the intoxicated expression on Amelia's face at the mention of Ryker, Kaleb could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
Recently, whenever Amelia was brought up on the topic, Ryker was either absent-minded or would avoid talking about her. Once, he even told Kaleb that Amelia was finding it difficult to be in front of her husband and about how pitiful she was!
Pitiful?
Was it appropriate to use such an adjective to describe the enemy?
Kaleb understood that Ryker was young, and he also agreed that Amelia was a beautiful lady. However, both good and evil could not coexist. They were plotting against Amelia's company, so how could Ryker have mercy and feel sympathetic to the
opponent?
What was more, what happened the previous day was downright outrageous!
Though Amelia had been working under Ryker's nose all day, Ryker still had no idea about the arrangements Amelia and Jonathan made for the meeting. Did his brain, eyes, and ears all malfunction because of Amelia?
And right then, after hearing Amelia praise the coffee Ryker made, the already raging anger in Kaleb's chest then burst into monstrous flames of ire.
It was all Ryker's fault! His negligence had caused them their inability to respond to the project on the east zone!
He heard that Amelia had pulled Sawyer and Kaiden under her wing, and this was enough to turn the tide around Apex Construction Corporation's situation.
At first, Kaleb had joined forces with the rest of the directors and went against Jonathan and Amelia to fight for power and influence. Later Jonathan and Amelia had the support of another two big shots, the defensive wall that they had built and erected against them was blown apart in an instant!
To make the matter worse, Amelia had pulled them into the company by herself, which was enough for her to gain popularity amongst the existing
employees!
When they were at work this morning, Kaleb had even overheard more than one person praising Amelia for her effective capability.
After all, with the investment from Sawyer, they could miraculously come back to the game even if on the verge of collapsing!
And because of that, Apex Construction Corporation's employees were so delighted that they even selectively forgot about the rumoured divorce between Amelia and Patrick!
How frightening was the power of worship for a single person!
And Kaleb was well-aware of this.
It was because of this reason that he became even more resentful of Ryker's incompetence and obsession!
With these thoughts flashing in his mind, he forced a smile at Amelia and said, "President Ramsay, you're too polite. We're here to congratulate you on taking over the project in the eastern district. Why are you apologizing to us? You're the company's saviour!"
Amelia smiled and looked up at Ryker, who was sorting out files in her office, and said, "Ryker, see who's here?"
Upon hearing her, Ryker raised his head frantically.
