Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 563

"It's none of your business even if I fall." After saying, Patrick left without looking back. No matter how hard the officer tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless!

Although the process of passing through the wooden bridge was dangerous, Patrick still successfully arrived at the opposite side.

Then, the head of the construction team who was walking in front of him, turned and asked, "Mr. Hopper, are you alright? Do you need a rest?" Patrick stared at the road in front of him. "It's okay. Everyone, keep going."

"Okay!" Everyone suddenly turned to obey every of Patrick's words.

On the other hand, when the officer crossed the bridge in fear, he found that no one was waiting for him. Besides that, nobody reached out and help him as well. Everyone was f*cking busy currying favor with Patrick.

The officer sighed. He could only resign to his fate and said, "Mr. Hopper, wait for me..."

The group of people could only walked as there was no transportation. Then, they finally realized how bad the environment there was. It was really a inhospitable place.

The officer kept asking Patrick if he was hungry or thirsty all the way which annoyed him. "I'm not a woman. There's no need to treat me this way."

Tears streamed down the officer's face. He thought, "Although you're not a woman, you're more noble than a woman."

In the evening.

The head of the construction team, who had been leading the team suddenly pointed to a stone tablet not far away and said with relief, "Look, everyone. Here's written the village's name. The place we are looking for should be far away!"

Patrick did not say anything but he was very happy. He had not had a good rest for three days and four nights, not to mention taking a bath. Because of his great endurance, he did not turn back in half way to find a hotel and took a bath!

"Let's go!" With his order, everyone quickened their pace.

As the saying goes, there's light at the end of the tunnel. When Patrick and his men appeared in front of the villagers with their face covered in dust, those villagers could not help but thought that these people were the ones who needed help.

A kind-looking old man with grey hair stood out from among the villagers and asked, "You guys are..."

At this time, the officer had fully played his role. He rushed forward and held the old man's hands, shaking them up and down, "Hi, you are the village chief, right? I came here to inspect last year. It was you who treated us a great lunch. Sorry to let you guys waited so long..."

After he made some speeches, the officer introduced Patrick to the village chief solemnly, "This is the boss of Roxxon Corporation who is in charge of this village's investment, reconstruction, and construction..."

When Patrick saw the village chief almost fainted expression, he signaled the officer to shut up with his sharp eyes. After that, he tried to ask village chief as nicely as he could, "Sir, may I ask how's the condition of the group of foreigners who came to your village a few days ago?"

"They're all fine..." The village chief's voice trembled as he laughed. "Although we can't get out of here, we still have the winter leftovers. It won't be a problem for us to hold on for a few more days." Patrick asked, "Where are they now?"

The old chief pointed. "A few women are staying in the house in front of us. As for those men...they all stay next door to those women. You probably can't understand, just come with me?" "Alright, thanks, sir," Patrick said slowly.

"You're welcome," the village chief said with a chuckle.

When Patrick did not show his arrogant attitude, he could really won the favor of others. At the very least, the friendly smile on the village chief's lips never once faded.

When the officer saw the village chief treat Patrick so enthusiastically, he burst into tears with sorrow. He was the officer from government, not Partick!

The architecture of the village looked like a bird's nest from the outside. The houses were dense but well-arranged which looked both beautiful and spacious.

Patrick followed the village chief's footsteps. They walked in circles until they reached the center of the village.

According to the village chief's introduction, only the respectable old men and teachers in the area were qualified to stay in the center.

Although the secretary was a guest, the team she led was meant to make contribution to the village, so she made an exception and could stay in the center of the village.

The village chief did not stop until there was no more way to go. He raised his hand to lead Patrick to the door of one of the rooms and said, "Here it is."

Patrick raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" A familiar female voice came from the room the next second.

Patrick said, "It's me."

After a long silence, there was a roar in the room, "Mr. Hopper!!"

Then, Patrick heard the sound of something falling to the ground. The secretary's voice came with pain and groaning, "Mr. Hopper, wait a minute..." "Take your time." Patrick was speechless.

After that, he heard different women's voices coming from inside. "Wow, your boyfriend comes to see you?"

The secretary said anxiously, "No!"

The women said, "It's such a blessing to have such a boyfriend. Didn't they say that the road leading to the village was cut off? How he could come over."

The secretary said, "He is not my boyfriend! He is my boss... Hey! Listen to me..."

The secretary's voice gradually lowered. To be precise, the women's voice in the room was too loud and interfered with hers.

After a while, the door opened.

After the secretary jumped out, she closed the door in a hurry to prevent the women from taking liberties with Patrick. "Mr. Hopper, I didn't expect you to come in person. I'm so touched..."

Patrick stared at his secretary's wet long hair and untidy clothes. He asked a little restlessly, "Are you taking a bath?"

The secretary was scared by Patrick's eager eyes. "Ah, yes, Mr. Hopper, what do you want to do? Don't scare me..."

After confirming that the secretary was safe and sound, Patrick pulled his collar and resumed his usual cold tone. "I want to take a bath right now. Help me to prepare it." The secretary responded quickly. "Alright, sure. I'll boil you some hot water right away."

"In addition, I want an independent room," Patrick continued.

"Okay! I'll prepare it for you while I boil the water." The secretary wrote it down.

"I'm hungry. I want to have some food as well." Patrick was not being courteous at all.

"Er..." The secretary said with hesitation, "Mr. Hopper, these days, we as outsiders just eating the food

prepared by the villagers. I can't guarantee it can fulfill your appetite."

Patrick gave her a sidelong glance. "I wasn't looking forward to have nice food here in the first place. I'll eat whatever you guys eat."
