Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1021

Fred picked up the suit from the chair and said, "Let's call it a day. It's getting late. I should go back to report with them."

Before Amelia said anything. Jonathan immediately said, "Mr. Gordon, let's us give you a ride."

Fred said with a smile, "I think that's not necessary?"

"Mr. Gordon, no worries. This is what we should do." Amelia smiled and said.

Hence, Fred said politely, "Well, if you insist. Thank you, President Ramsay and Director Tucker."

At half past one in the afternoon.

When Amelia returned to Apex Construction Corporation, Jonathan who was driving, asked with a smile, "President Ramsay, are you in a good mood today?"

Amelia could not help but smile. She looked at Jonathan and said, "Uncle Tucker, you already knew it. Why are you still asking?"

Jonathan said seriously, "Who told you that I know everything? There's one thing I wanted to ask you when we're having the meal. How did you

convince Fred to skip the review procedure for Apex?"

Amelia then told him about the whole incident. After hearing Amelia's words, Jonathan burst out laughing and made a joke. "Oh, you! Now I know you youngster nowadays are really great at playing all kind of tricks."

"But you're the one that taught me well!" Amelia said with a smile.

Jonathan looked at her and said with a sigh, "If your father can see how you've grown to be now, he will be very pleased."

Amelia turned her eyes and looked out of the window with melancholy. Yes, that would be great if dad could witness the current moment of Apex Construction Corporation...

Realizing that the topic was a little heavy, Jonathan continued, "By the way, you know what? Kaleb and the others were still on the move some time ago. They wanted to expose the Environmental Protection Bureau's involvement in the C river pollution during the meeting.

He probably wanted to blame you for not managing well and take the opportunity to embarrass you, shaking the confidence and authority that you have just built up in the minds of employees.

But after Kingston's apologizing video was uploaded, they became discontented again. And now you have really got the contract of the project of Eastern District.

As long as this news leaks, I think they will have nothing to say during the meeting tomorrow!"

When Amelia heard this, she could not help but be curious. "Uncle Tucker, how do you know what Kaleb and his men are up to?"

Jonathan said slowly, "Before you took over the Apex Construction Corporation, the company had divided into several forces. Each force is supervising and probing at each other. Do you still remember Ryker, who was fired by you?"

Amelia nodded and said, "I remember that Ryker was Daniel's special assistant. After Daniel was imprisoned, Ryker began to follow me. But you said that he actually worked for Kaleb."

Jonathan nodded. "That's right. Ryker is Kaleb's spy! But Kaleb is not the only one who knows how to play this trick. I also placed a spy by his side.

What's more, Kaleb is so high-profile that almost all his thoughts are written on his face. You know, it's not difficult to know what he's thinking about."

No wonder.

Amelia seemed to have thought of something, and she joked, "Is assistant Atkinson the spy that Uncle

Tucker arranged for me as well?"

Upon hearing this, Jonathan looked calm and said with full confidence, "Her? Just barely."

Amelia asked with interest, "What do you mean by 'barely'?" Was Jonathan not supposed to deny it in a hurry to show his loyalty?

The moment she saw Patrick's name, she wanted to share the joy of receiving the contract with him!

"Don't forget where your investment came from! If Patrick heard the name of Sawyer Quartley, what would he do to you and Apex Construction Corporation?" Amelia warned herself.

The reminder in her head made Amelia's breath quicken, and the emotions that had been in high spirits disappeared.

By her ear, the sound of Patrick's call was still echoing. No matter how reluctant Amelia was, she had to pick it up. After all, he deliberately took a long way to the company to pick her up for her father's sake.

After clicking the answer button, Amelia put the phone close to her ear and said, "Hello."

Patrick asked, "I'm at downstairs of your company. Have you finished work yet?"

"Yes... I... I'm off work."

Amelia's unnatural pause made Patrick curious. "You sound weird. Are you not feeling well?"

"No! I'm fine..." Amelia's twinkling eyes fell on the leather bag she had picked up. After a while, she said, "Wait for a moment. I'll go downstairs right away."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hearing that Amelia was fine, Patrick's voice finally became less tense.

After the call, Amelia put the phone back into her pocket.

After that, she stood still with a complicated expression and thought for a while. In the end, she took out the contract in her leather bag. She did not want to be asked too much by Patrick.

As for George, she would whisper it into his ears.

Outside the lobby of Apex Construction Corporation. After Amelia opened the door of the passenger seat, she said to the man sitting inside, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
