Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 565

"When will you be back?"

"In half a month, I want to stay here to inspect the working progress."

Half a month? That was so long!

A hint of depression flitted across Amelia's eyes. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. Whose mobile phone are you using now?"

Patrick Hopper said slowly, "A woman's."

"What! You..."

Amelia was about to lose her temper but she heard Patrick said slowly, "I borrowed the phone from the secretary. My phone is out of battery."

Amelia was annoyed by Patrick's trick and said, "Can you stop panting while talking!"

Patrick was probably in a good mood and unexpectedly he made fun of Amelia, "I like the way you're jealous and yet you can't hit me."

Amelia was speechless.

Patrick asked idly, "Amelia, where are you now?"

He changed the topic so quick that Amelia was caught off guard. "I...I'm at home!"

Her words made the entire sales department quiet.

The employees of the sales department seemed to have a good bonding with Amelia. When they heard that she lied to Patrick that she was at home, they immediately helped her to create a quiet atmosphere. "So you're at home?" Patrick's voice sounded very gentle, but Amelia's heart was filled with gusts of cold wind.

Could Huxton have already reported her whereabouts to Patrick?

That should not be the case. She was on the same boat with Huxton right now. It would not do him any good if he sold her out.

When Amelia was thinking, Patrick's husky voice came again, "Amelia, don't always think about ways to deceive me. It's won't benefit you."

When his voice finished, before she could say anything, he had hung up the phone.

"Oh my..." Amelia stared at the beeping mobile phone. She felt like weeping but having no tears.

Why did she always underestimate Huxton's loyalty to Patrick? He was the kind of guy who would willing to please his master even if he had to sacrifice one of his hands! At Timothy Village.

While returning the phone to the secretary, Patrick asked with concern, "Is the bath water ready?"

"It should be almost done." After a pause, the secretary asked, "Mr. Hopper, I just heard your phone conversation that you want to stay here to inspect the work progress?" Patrick replied faintly, "Yes."

The secretary did not understand. "I can see you want to return home as soon as possible. Why do you still want to stay here for so long?"

Patrick smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I just want to experience the feeling that Amelia is worried about me."

The secretary was dumbfounded. Mr. Hopper was really too cunning!

All the facilities conditions in the village were simple and crude, the villagers could only even take bath using the public bathroom. Patrick surely could not agree with this. So the secretary could only beg the villager to give her a big wooden barrel that was said to be passed down from their ancestors. She asked a few male villagers to carry it into Patrick's room. Then she poured a few buckets of water in it until it was full, closed the door, and let Patrick enjoyed his bath.

When the secretary returned to her room, she did not even had time to drink water and she was immediately surrounded by several female teachers. "Ms. secretary, we just peeped through the door gap and found that your boyfriend is so handsome!"

"Yes. The eyes, the nose, the mouth... F*ck, it's exactly the genuine version of the handsome CEO!"

The secretary grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the table. Then she said dryly, "I told you before, he is just my boss."

All of the women were talking, "Even he is the boss, he must have taken a fancy to you since he has done so much for you."

The secretary was furious. "What's wrong with you guys? Mr. Hopper has married, okay?"

Her words made the women look at each other with embarrassment.

As usual, women would always fantasize about handsome men. Even Patrick was married, it would not stop them from daydreaming. They even hoped that Patrick had an affair with the secretary. This meant that these beautiful young women would have a chance as well.

Then...

The unlocked door was pushed open from the outside and a soft female voice sounded, "What are you girls talking about?"

The silent atmosphere was broken, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone spontaneously greeted the woman who came in, "Ah! Sissi, you're back?"

"Yes." The woman with a waist-length big wavy curl walked into the room. A few strands of her hair stuck to her cheeks which made her oval face looked more charming. Her eyes were beautiful dark brown which made people could not help but wanted to gaze at them. Besides that, her two lips made people wanted to kiss them just by looking at them.

It was such a crime for such a pretty woman to be a teacher.

Even the secretary who stood by Patrick's side and were used to see lots of beauties could not help phrasing in her heart.

According to the file, this woman was not young anymore but so what? She just aged like wine fine.

The secretary touched her somewhat dry face and asked the woman who approached them, "Sissi, what kind of skin care products do you use? Can you share the brand with me?"

Sissi smiled lightly and her brown eyes curved into a beautiful crescent moon. "You are a few years younger than me. The products that I use now it's not suitable for you."

The secretary blurted out, "Why?"

Sissi explained patiently, "For example, if you are twenty seven years old and I am thirty seven years old this year. If you use my brand, when you reach my age, maybe you need to use the forty seven years old's skincare products. In conclusion, my skincare products are too nutritious for your current skin."

The secretary suddenly came to her senses, "Ah! I actually forgot about this!"

Sissi smiled and asked, "By the way, when I return, I saw some new faces in the village. Were they sent by the government to rescue us?"

"Yes, Mr. Hopper is here too!" The secretary said with a proud tone.

After hearing the secretary's words, Sissi's face which had been smiling suddenly became different.

She seemed excited but she restrained herself very well. She looked happy and wanted to cry at the same time. Her eyes were full of surprise...

The secretary got goosebumps all over and asked, "Sissi, are... are you okay?"

Sissi came back to her senses and asked somewhat unnaturally, "Is this 'Mr. Hopper' Patrick Hopper?"

The secretary nodded without hesitation. "Yes, it's him."

Sissi's body slightly shook as if there were some intense emotions that were about to burst out from her body. The secretary could not help but feel strange when she saw Sissi's reaction. "Do you know Mr. Hopper?" "Huh?" Sissi said in a daze, "I'll go out and breathe some fresh air first. You guys please continue."
