After giving him the gift, Amelia's confidence boosted. So she took the initiative to ask, "By the way, Kaiden, are you here because you have something to tell me?"
Kaiden put down the model in his hand for a brief moment before saying casually, "Haven't you always wanted to meet Sawyer? The opportunity has come."
Amelia's heart bloomed from joy, and her voice was faintly trembling when she replied, "Really, Kaiden? You... You're kidding me, aren't you?"
Kaiden glanced at her contemptuously and continued, "If I'm not serious about this, then why did I go through so many things just to send you there previously? Oh, by the way, you used your cleverness in the right way. Sawyer found out about you donating blood to Abner. To show his gratitude, he permitted me to take you to the island this Saturday. He'll be holding a banquet at his home for your arrival."
Amelia nodded excitedly. "Okay! This Saturday, right? In the morning or noon? I hope it's not in the evening. I'm afraid I'll leave the island late and disturb Mr. Quartley's from his rest."
Kaiden knew what she was thinking. Amelia was obviously scared she would not be safe on the island at night, and yet, she was claiming she did not want to disrupt Sawyer's rest... She had really learned a thing or two about pleasing people from being the acting chairperson the company.
"Taking the schedule into consideration, I'm planning to leave on Saturday morning with you."
Upon hearing him, Amelia let out a sigh of relief. If that was the case, she could leave the island before dusk.
Kaiden then continued, "Before you go to the island, I have a few important things to stress on. Sawyer doesn't have good memory, especially about recognizing women's face. So, you don't need to dress up to meet him. It's best if you go there barefaced! Also, don't put on any perfume. You won't want to trigger Sawyer's rhinitis. Also, he has a slight case of resentment towards women. You should talk to him from three meters away. And last, he doesn't like others to look straight into his eyes. So, lower your head when you interact with him..."
At first, Amelia took down mental notes of what he said seriously. But after a while, she found herself lost in what Kaiden was actually trying to convey.
This Sawyer Quartley had too many rules, was he not? No to this, no to that. No wonder he had to live in such seclusion...
Also, why did Kaiden not tell her about these when they went to the island last time?
Seeing how Amelia was caught in a daze, he could not help but raise his voice and ask, "Did you hear me?"
Amelia snapped back to her senses and replied, a little struck dumb, "I did! Do you want me to recite it for you?"
Kaiden was amused by her earnestness. "No, I believe you won't take your company's fate to joke with me. Perform well. I'll help you when the time comes."
Amelia pursed her lips, thinking that as long as he did not smear her name in front of Sawyer, she would already be more than grateful!
Knock, knock...
Just then, two knocks sounded on the office door.
Amelia collected her thoughts and yelled out softly at the door, "Please come in."
Audrey pushed the door open and came in. She swept her glance over Kaiden to remind Amelia who was behind him, "President Ramsay, you have a guest."
Before Amelia could ask who it was, Kaiden ordered, "Ask him to leave. We aren't finished talking about
our affairs yet."
Amelia was stressed about having to meet two clients at the same time. So, she said to Audrey, "Please treat him to a cup of coffee outside. We'll finish our discussion soon."
Hesitating for a moment, Audrey continued, "But, your guest is..."
Kaiden shot a cold glare at her. "Are you the boss, or is she your boss?"
