Following Kaiden's evasion, Andrea gradually eased the solemness on her face. "Kaiden, how did you and Amelia know each other?"
"We knew each other in the government hall because of a project in common!"
After a pause, Kaiden's eyes flickered and he continued, "At that time, her company was in the teeth of the storm. I pitied her, so I mentioned about Sawyer in front of her.
Sawyer's name is well-known to everyone! When she heard that I am Sawyer's cousin, she continuously begged me to take her to meet him. At that time, I only knew that she is the acting chair of the Apex Construction Corporation, but I've never heard that she is the daughter-in-law of The Hopper Family!"
His words could only cheat Andrea, who was not sensitive to the news. If it was someone who knew, Kaiden's lie would be uncovered without hesitation in any minute!
Then, Kaiden pretended to be very guilty and said to Andrea, "Auntie, I know that I accidentally violated the taboo of our family, and brought about ruin to the family... I...I'm willing to be punished!"
After hearing what he said, Andrea thought Kaiden was one who knew his mistake and was willing to correct it. Then, she forgot about the idea to teach him a lesson. Instead, she said with a soft sigh, "I wish that Sawyer is just having a simple collaboration with her."
"Yea..." Kaiden agreed with an unknown emotion as his gaze turned to a certain room on the second floor.
On the second floor, in the guest room.
Turning around, Sawyer saw Amelia holding a folder and standing at the door confusedly like a deer, as if she did not know where to go. His eyes could not help but darkened. When he spoke again, he was no longer as fierce as he was when on the first floor, "Ms. Ramsay, please come in and have a seat."
Amelia blinked her eyes nervously. After taking a step into the room, she gently closed the door behind her.
As soon as the door was closed, the room suddenly became a lot darker.
Amelia looked at Sawyer with a slightly uneasy expression, only to see that he had already reached out his hand to turn on a row of lights on top of their heads. The entire room immediately became brightly lit.
This got Amelia feel that Sawyer was a gentleman. She plucked up her courage and called out, "Mr. Quartley!"
Sawyer looked at her, and his huge shadow just happened to be projected on her, "Ms. Ramsay, may I leave to wash my hands first?"
Amelia's voice paused for a moment. "Okay, sure."
Nodding his head, Sawyer walked towards the bathroom in a leisurely manner.
The door was closed, blocking Amelia's view.
Hearing the gurgling sound of water coming from inside, Amelia could hardly relax her nerves. She did not know whether Sawyer would accept or reject her later.
With such an uneasy emotion, when the bathroom door was pulled open, Amelia immediately raised her watery eyes and looked straight at Sawyer.
Under such gaze, Sawyer calmly wiped his hands, but his tone was unmotivated, "Ms. Ramsay, you looking at me like this will make me feel like you're inviting me."
Amelia was stunned for a moment, she then quickly restrained her unbridled gaze, obediently stared at her toes and said, "Mr. Quartley, I didn't..."
Sawyer's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly let out a light laugh.
It seemed that Patrick's taste had changed.
Sawyer especially remembered that when he first met Sissi, she was able to flirt with him without any psychological barriers.
Compared with Sissi, who looked cold but was actually coquettish, Amelia was innocent like a little lamb. There was a trace of innocence in her eyes that could not be hidden. If he did not know that she was married, he would even think that she was just a college student who had just graduated from school.
