Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1279

Kaleb answered with some awkwardness, "That's because of the misunderstanding that we had on the phone that day, so I thought that it would be better to rebuilt our relationship again. I hope that once we discuss about business, you won't be partial because of me."

At this point, Amelia was really disgusted by what Kaleb said. Who in the world would bring up their family member's sorrowful past again and again like he did?

However, these were the words that came from the mouths of the other directors under him. She could not directly call Kaleb out or otherwise, she would just find trouble for herself! They had all the more reason to ridicule her!

Amelia smiled and replied, "Uncle, you're being too mean to me. No matter what happened between us, you're still my elder and the director of Apex. If there's anything serious regarding our company in the future, let's just get down to business and not beat around the bush because we'll just continue to hurt each other's feelings. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, it's I who's wrong!" Kaleb was embarrassed by Amelia's rebuke. In his heart, he thought that this girl was really not easy to deal with. How could she make him sound so petty due to the call, and she even remembered all the unpleasant things that happened before!

Amelia did not let him go for the time being. She fished out the key to her office from her bag, opened the door, and smiled at them. "Please come in."

Amelia said to them with a look of apology after she entered the office, "Apologies, my personal assistant was not feeling well these past few days and didn't come to work. She has always been the one who makes tea for my guests. I on the other hand, is clumsy..."

"President Ramsay, you don't have to trouble yourself. We will leave after we finish our discussion."

Since Amelia had already told them so, how could Kaleb and his underlings request for anything else? In the end, they decided not to drink.

After they had all taken their seats, Amelia crossed her legs and sat down. Her long and beautiful hair flowed down lusciously as she gently tilted her head. Even Kaleb, who was already an elder, became enchanted by her beauty for a moment.

"So, everyone. What can I do for you?"

Amelia looked at them with a harmless smile on her beautiful face, which made people feel that it was impossible to criticize her.

Kaleb came to his senses and shot the directors next to him a sinister look. The man rubbed his hands and asked, "Director Ramsay, let's get straight to the point. Mr. Quade, who is the man responsible for the construction team, had been proclaiming within the circle that he would be suing you in court. I just wanted to ascertain if that's the truth."

Amelia nodded and agreed with a worried face, "Well, it is not only that this it true, but the trial will also be held in two days time. I have yet to find a lawyer, and viewing the urgency of this matter, all these are not working in my favour."

Right after Amelia's words, Kaleb and his underlings' eyes quickly flashed a trace of joy, and then they shrouded it with their worries and questioned, "Oh? Why is that so?"

As her eyes met their puzzled gaze, she could not help but be secretly happy as she mocked their poor acting skills. She frowned as she replied, "Hasn't Mr. Quade told all of you what happened already?"

Kaleb sighed and answered in a pleasantly, "All we heard are just rumours and gossip from the others.

And of course, it is difficult for us to avoid all these exaggerations. We have always firmly believed that President Ramsay is a kind-hearted person, so it is impossible for you to do anything that endangers the safety of others!"

Amelia did not seem to notice Kaleb's malicious intent. She gratefully thanked him instead, "Thank you so much, uncle! I didn't know what was good for myself and discriminated against your good intentions the last time. But at this critical moment, you are still willing to help me, I'm just so..."

"There's no need for you to be so formal. We're all family anyway. We don't have to waste our time arguing with each other. When it comes to proper business, we should definitely work together! Moreover, George has also been taking care of me for the past 20 years, and if I don't know how to repay him for his kindness, won't he kill me once he wakes up!" Kaleb berated sincerely.

Before Amelia could express her gratitude, another director sounded, "By the way, if we can help Director Ramsay win this lawsuit, it will ultimately help strengthen the internal unity of Apex Construction Corporation!"

"That's right. You should know that in these past two days, the board of directors had been quarreling with each other just because of this matter. They are almost divided into two groups!"

Kaleb was calm, but when he heard this, he suddenly got angry and reprimanded, "Why did you suddenly bring this up?! Didn't we agree not to mention this fact in front of President Ramsay before our visit?"

"Sorry, sorry! I forgot!"

"Me too... Mr. Ramsay, I didn't do it on purpose. Please calm down!"

Amelia saw them echoing each other's words. She thought that if she did not cooperate with them, how would they continue the show? "Gentlemen, what are you talking about? I've been so busy these days that I failed to attend the board meeting. Did something happen that I wasn't aware of? Ah! Did everyone argue about what happened between Mr. Quade and me?"
