"Sure!" Milton then followed Amelia into Amido Cafe.
After they entered, a lady in a black car was swallowing her saliva as she was sitting next to her superior.
Was she hallucinating? Wasn't the man who had just hugged Madam Ramsay Director Cook?
But that did not sound right. According to the rumors, Director Cook had already flown to Lintons Ads Company branch office in England.
Could it be that he was back for a vacation?
However, regardless of the matter, why would Madam Ramsay hug Director Cook at the moment when Mr. Hopper decided to pass by Apex Construction Corporation and invite Madam Ramsay for lunch after a business deal.
This was definitely playing with fire.
However, what pained her was every time Madam Amelia did something wrong, the subordinates were the ones who suffered from Mr. Hopper wraith.
"Madam Ramsay, please take the responsibility to put out the fire you lit!" The secretary shouted in her heart with grief and indignation.
At the same time, Patrick, who had witnessed the whole thing, slowly withdrew his gaze from them and looked at his secretary. "Miss secretary."
"Yes!" Alas...
Upon hearing Patrick's words, the secretary immediately became serious. She knew that her life would depend on what Patrick was going to say!
Patrick glanced at her with a poker face. His eyes were so cold that it made the secretary shudder. "Why do you women always like to be hugged by men other than your husband?"
The secretary knew that this was a trap. She would suffer no matter what!
If she were to stand on Madam Ramsay's side, Mr. Hopper would definitely fly into a rage. If she was to stand on Mr. Hopper's side, Madam Ramsay would definitely be in deep trouble when she returned home!
The secretary thought about it over and over again. As Patrick's glance gradually became gloomy, she finally thought of an answer!
"Well, Mr. Hopper, I think there are many kinds of hugs between men and women, like the hug between Madam Ramsay and you. It must be a heartfelt hug to show her love to you!
I'm sure Madam Ramsay's loving hug would be for you only! And for other hugs.
For instance, like how Director Cook from the Linton Ads Company hugged Madam Ramsay moments ago, it was a symbol of friendship and a form of greeting!
To tell you the truth. I've kept count on them, they've hugged each other for around two seconds, maybe lesser than that.
Therefore, we can conclude that Madam Ramsay's act was just a form of courtesy! Do you think what I said makes sense, Mr. Hopper?"
Patrick was silent for a while. His secretary's heart was about to burst out of her throat. Finally, he said, "Yes."
"Yes? Yes... of course!"
The secretary thought she had misheard him at the beginning, but after making sure that Patrick had agreed with her, she went praising the heaven for keeping her alive for another day.
Patrick pursed his lips and looked out of the window again. Even though Amelia and Milton were nowhere to be seen, he was still staring at the cafe with a sense of scrutiny and anger.
The secretary forced herself to ask, "Mr. Hopper, then what should we..."
Patrick raised a hand to stop the secretary, "We'll sit here and wait." "What? But, Mr. Hopper! You haven't had your lunch yet!" The secretary said hurriedly.
Patrick did not say anything.
The secretary could not bear to see her boss starve, so she immediately notified the driver in front of her about what she would do. She then grabbed her wallet, opened the door and rushed to the nearest restaurant.
