When the suite door was opened by the waiter, the six bosses who wanted to cancel cooperation with the Apex Construction Corporation had not arrived yet.

Jonathan asked Amelia to order some food from the waiter. He was in charge of making phone calls to contact those people.

An hour passed and the six of them arrived one after another.

The latecomers always had lots of excuses such as 'traffic jam', 'busy with meetings', 'busy with business' and so on. However, Amelia had no time to distinguish whether these excuses were real. She just shook hands with them. Then she kept greeting them on, "It's been a while, have a seat."

The six bosses were of different ages. The older one could be Amelia's father. The younger one looked almost her age.

The only similarity between them was their passionate stares at her face and her legs. Some looked at her sneakily because they were afraid being caught, while some were very brave and they were not afraid of her noticing it.

When Amelia faced with these perverts' gazing, she just smiled slightly and pretended not to know.

However, in the eyes of these shrewd people, her smile made her looked innocent.

If she was not Patrick's woman, they would have started to take action to get her. But it seemed weird, Apex Construction Corporation was suffering yet Patrick did not seem to take any action.

Even if Patrick was abroad, he could transfer funds to help Apex Construction Corporation to rebuild their business again right?

Besides, Patrick was very rich and powerful. As long as he was willing to help, some little canceled projects would be considered nothing.

However, Amelia did not dare to cancel these projects. On the contrary, she invited them to the banquet enthusiastically which could explain that he did not help her at all.

The one who was toasting them was Mr. Patrick's wife! Was the rumor saying that Amelia was not dotted by Patrick real?

It was possible. After all, Patrick did not even want to have a wedding ceremony, did he?

In the blink of an eye, all the elders had already taken their seats around Amelia.

While Amelia pursed her lips, she said to the waiter standing behind her, "Get a champagne and fill the cups for the bosses."

The waiter replied, "Yes, madam." Then he took out a iced champagne from the iron bucket with his hands in white gloves. With a puff sound, he opened the bottle and filled the glass for everyone present. Amelia raised her cup gracefully. She stood up and flattered all the six of them. Then she said, "To all of you!"

Amelia who looked delicate was actually bold when she was drinking. When the crowd saw this, they applauded and cheered. The awkward atmosphere gradually became great.

After breaking the ice, someone stared at Amelia's tender face and pretended to be regretful. "President Ramsay, I think you already know the purpose our visit. My company has a piece of land in the south of the city. At first, we were waiting for Apex Construction Corporation to have a project with it. Now that your project was in trouble, we really wouldn't dare to cooperate with you guys anymore. As long as we have the sign of your company, this piece of land would be worthless in the eyes of others."

"Yes, I originally wanted to invite Apex Construction Corporation to build an employee

dormitory. However, recently we keep getting

complaints from our employees that if they stay in the staff dormitory built by Apex Construction Corporation, they will feel insecure. I was very annoyed, so I have to propose to cancel cooperation with you guys."

There were already all rejections on cooperation before she said anything.

When Amelia listened to their nags, she stopped talking and said, "Guys, I know your difficulties. However, please give us a chance to turn over a new leaf. Everyone who has the intellect understands the truth."

Apex Construction Corporation's construction indeed had some problems. However, it was also because of this reason that our company was more determined to rebuild it.

After this incident, Apex Construction Corporation still have a chance to survive. But if we make another mistake, we would be doomed forever! Apex Construction Corporation will never let incident like this to happen again. So everyone here please believe me!"

It was undeniable that Amelia's words were quite logic. However, if it was so easy for them to be convinced by her, wasn't that just let her off too lightly?

"President Ramsay, there's a saying that drinking makes everything easier. As long as you drink with me tonight, I can try my best to persuade the br*ts in my company to save the project for your company." "Okay." Amelia was obedient like a lamb. "Mr. Lawrence's words had been jotted down by me. So you have to keep your promise."

Hendrix looked at Amelia's perfect face with covet, "Okay. However, President Ramsay have to invite me out to have few drinks more often."

Amelia blinked and said, "No problem."

The next second, an evil face came close to Amelia's and asked with great interest, "What's the point of just drinking? Does President Ramsay know how to play drinking games?" Amelia shook her head in confusion. When she saw the disappointed looks on their faces, she quickly smiled and said, "But I can learn it!"

"Great!"

Then, the suite's atmosphere was getting higher.

The smell of alcohol and smoke filled the air. Amelia was so uncomfortable that she wanted to leave. However she knew that if she left, she could definitely not retain the deal...

Meanwhile..

Patrick, Sissi and the secretary had landed at The Hopper Family's private airport.

Sissi's curly hair danced gently in the wind and it was so flowy that gradually attracting people's eyes.

Patrick turned and asked her, "Do you feel cold?"

Sissi smiled gently. "No."

Although she said that she was not cold, she still could not help leaning on his warm chest.

When Patrick saw this, he carefully opened his black coat and covered her. "You're always overexert yourself."

"I'm not. It's just that I'm used to being alone... Ahchoo!" Before Sissi could finish her sentence, she frowned and sneezed.

Patrick suddenly hugged her even tighter and his voice was so gentle that it melted people's hearts. "You will have me in the future."

The secretary rolled her eyes and pointed to the car that was coming to pick them up. "Mr. Hopper, the car is here!"

"Alright." Patrick answered. He lowered his eyes and said to Sissi, "I'll send you home first."

"Home?" Sissi's face turned pale and she said with a wry smile, "I no longer have a home in Northville for a long time."

Patrick was stunned. As if he had thought of something, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry." Sissi said generously, "It's okay. I rented a house when I returned to Northville. You can just drop me there."

"You rent a house? Are you used to living in that kind of place?" Patrick looked at her pitifully, as if he wanted to give her the best and most comfortable house.

Sissi tidied her messy hair and said in a relaxed tone, "I can even live in the countryside, let alone renting a house. In comparison, the place I live now is simply heaven."

During the night, on the streets.

Patrick was taking a nap at the spacious back seat with his eyes closed. When the secretary saw this, she just told the Land of Prangrance's address to the driver in a low voice.
