Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 587

Amelia lightly brushed her nose and said, "That's me."

The crowd's mouths fell open in amazement. "Oh my goodness, what other identities do you have that we don't know of?"

Amelia was not only their leader, but more importantly, she was their boss too! Now that she was exposed to be the eldest daughter of the president of Apex Construction Corporation... She was the classic, prime example of the ideal wealthy fair maiden!

Thinking back, they had been rude to Amelia, especially Doris, who was quite outspoken without a filter in front of her. After the discovery of Amelia's reputable identity, Doris found herself outrageously audacious.

Amelia thought their reaction was exaggerated. "What's wrong with you guys? I'm still me."

Doris cried out, "Yes, you're still you, still so special and extraordinary. Amelia, you're being dishonest to us. You first didn't tell us about your marriage with Mr. Hopper, and then, you never disclose that you're Ramsay's eldest daughter!"

Amelia pretended to be angry and said, "I was planning to recommend you to the company for the position of supervisor of the sales department. But since I'm dishonest, then forget it."

Doris immediately scurried over to Amelia, took her arm in hers and cooed while smiling apologetically, "Amelia, I was just kidding. Please don't take it to heart."

The crowd burst into laughter at the sight of Doris's drastic change in attitude, the frigid atmosphere in the room finally returning to normal.

After their amusement, Amelia resumed back to business. She said in a serious note, "Everything is exactly as Lily had said. My father's company is in a crisis now, but he hasn't yet to recover. And since there's no leader in Apex Construction Corporation currently, I'm obligated to take up the responsibility. So, I'm so sorry, everyone. I really have no time and energy to attend to the sales department now, so I can only resign after being here for so many years."

Her somberness affected everybody present. Even if they did not want her to leave, could they stop her? Wouldn't they just be bothering her?

Lily expressed her thoughts on behalf of everyone else in the room, "Amelia, we understand the situation you're in. Go ahead and do what you have to do, we won't drag you down. And also, if you need any help in Apex Construction Corporation, remember to come to us at any time. Well never refuse."

"She's right!" Doris and others nodded.

"Thank you, everyone!" Hearing this, Amelia's nose tingled, and was threatened with the urge to cry. She felt incredibly lucky and grateful to have met such a group of kind people as her colleagues.

At noon.

Amelia placed the important clientele files onto Doris's desk. Under a strange look from Doris, Amelia said, "Take a good look at these files when you're free. There are not only the phone numbers of the customers I've drawn over the past few years in there, but also their addresses, birthdays, and my analyses of their characters and habits."

"Friendship and sentiment are important when doing business too. If you send them a birthday card on their birthdays, maybe you would leave them with a positive impression. As fortheir personalities and habits, you have to study and observe them thoroughly, lest you accidentally slip up in front of them and mess up the chance of collaboration that you could've gotten."

Doris bit her lips and uttered, "Amelia, do you really want to pass such a significant thing to me?"

Amelia said, "You've been with me for so many years. If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?"

Doris blinked blankly for a few moments. "Amelia, didn't you say that you're just resigning temporarily?"

Amelia's eyes dimmed. If her father recovered soon, she would not have to continue being the acting chairperson. But if not, she would have to carry on at Apex Construction Corporation. Seeing the lack of response from Amelia, Doris nervously held her hand and asked, "You'll come back, won't you? If you don't, well definitely lose these clients."

Amelia, who was pulled back to reality from her thoughts, softly encouraged Doris, "Who doesn't start this way? When I first entered Roxxon, I didn't have a single customer, and I earned them myself one by one over the years. Now that I'm giving you the files directly, you'll have a much easier head-start than when I first started."

After comforting Doris from her conflicted state, Amelia hurried to pass over her work and said, "Well, that's almost it. If you find anything missing later, you can call me again. I have to go to the human resource department to submit my resignation letter."

Doris blurted out in subconciousness, "Amelia, does

Mr. Hopper know that you're resigning?"

Lily interjected and teased, "They're a couple, how can Mr. Hopper not know that? Maybe he has even approved her resignation letter in advance."

Doris stuck out her tongue and said, "Mr. Hopper is on a business trip with his secretary now, isn't he? That's why I asked."

Amelia did not give a reply.

Doris explained frantically when she saw Amelia becoming absent-minded, "Amelia, I'm not questioning your relationship with Mr. Hopper! Don't get angry!" "It's nothing," answered Amelia, a concealed melancholy hidden in her eyes. "He'll find out sooner or later."

Generally speaking, a resignation letter should be submitted to the superior one month in advance so that it would be convenient for them to find someone to replace the job. However, due to Amelia's identity and the personal approval from Lily, the human resource department did not dare to stall her time. They instead called the finance department and asked for Amelia's wages for the past two days.

This embarrassed Amelia a little. It was just the new year and she was resigning after coming to work for only a couple of days. She had also left so many pending tasks to the sales department, so how could she still ask for her salary?

"Lily, can I just leave my salary for the past two days,?"

Lily put on a sour tone on purpose, "Now, are you treating the hundreds you've earned as mere dollars that you're both Mrs. Hopper and the chairperson of Apex Construction Corporation?" Amelia denied anxiously, "Lily, that's not what I meant!"

Lily chuckled and said, "I know you're an honest person! If the company is willing to give it to you, then just accept it. Anyway, aren't you just taking from your own money?"

Amelia blushed, "Lily, stop making fun of me."

"Fine..." Lily seemed to know what Amelia was thinking and said to her, "Let's go. I'll accompany you to the finance department for your salary."

After leaving Roxxon Corporation, Amelia drove straight to the building of Apex Construction Corporation.

Before she got out of the car, her cell phone, which was in her leather bag, rang.

Happiness spread on Amelia's face. She thought Patrick had sent her a message and quickly fumbled through her bag for her phone. Looking at the number displayed on the screen, she was disappointed. After picking up the call with a scowl on her face, a hysterical voice screamed immediately after Amelia greeted hello. Brittany shrieked from the other end of the line, "Amelia Ramsay! Where did you bring Daniel? He hasn't been home since last night!"

"He's at the police station," Amelia said frankly.

"The police station! What is he doing there? He didn't even kill anyone!"
