"Mr. Hopper, to be honest, I can't bear to disturb Madam Amelia Ramsay at this time either, but someone has to handle it, right?" Jonathan said helplessly over the phone.
"Tell me what happened and I'll solve it for you." Patrick said domineeringly.
"Well..." Jonathan was also eager to pour out the information, so he recounted the antics of Kaleb and Brittany in the conference room to Patrick.
Then, he continued.
"Alas, all along, Madam Ramsay and I have been on guard. We thought that this would render Rai eb's thoughts useless. Unexpectedly, this time, he directly made a big move. It is not only impossible to prevent, but it is also not solved!"
After listening to the call while standing at the side of the corridor, Patrick asked coldly, "Are they trying to push Amy out from the position of acting director?"
Jonathan smiled wryly. "Yes. The company is now divided into three factions. One faction belongs to Kaleb, the next belongs to my side, and the last is neutral.
According to the regulations of the company, as long as less than one- third of the votes were against one party, he or she could remove the duties of a high-level official.
Now that Kaleb's group has already revealed some clues, I am afraid that those neutral parties will not be able to resist the temptation and fall to Kaleb. Then Madam Ramsay...and the company will be finished."
"So?" Patrick was calm.
Jonathan said urgently, "So, I want to meet Madam Ramsay as soon as possible. I want to make an appointment with those neutral parties and convince them to vote in favour of Madam Ramsay. In that case, things might turn for the better."
Patrick paused and said unexpectedly, "I'll go with you."
Jonathan was stunned. After a long while, a question came, "What?"
Patrick added, "I said, I'll go with you to talk to those neutral parties."
Although Jonathan was moved, he still managed to maintain his rationality. "But you're uninvolved with this matter. How could you come on our behalf?"
Patrick said, "I'll go because I'm more confident than Amy in convincing them. Considering Amy's current situation, how do you think the neutral faction will treat her? What if Kaleb also went to persuade them?"
"Do you think that those neutral parties would refuse a person who has a personal relationship with the Ramsay family and can offer enough benefits, or refuse a person who has an unknown origin and can't offer any benefits?"
"This..." Jonathan had to admit, "Your analysis is very reasonable."
"Well, you can inform me when you decide the time. I'll give you my phone number later. Don't call her again. Let her have a good rest." Patrick was adamant.
"All right! I'll thank you on behalf of my boss and the company ahead of time..."
After the call, Patrick turned around to go back to his room. But in the next second, he ran into Amelia, who was standing at the door with bare feet.
His eyes narrowed and he walked over in panic. "Didn't I tell you to rest? Why did you come out?"
Her pale fingers fiddled with the corners of the pajamas beside her, and Amelia made a difficult decision. "Mr. Hopper, forget it."
Patrick frowned. He could not hear her clearly. "What do you mean by forget it?"
"I'm tired," Amelia said dryly.
Patrick immediately realized what he had just said to Jonathan had been heard by this woman.
D*mn it!
He could not help but curse himself. Why did he not look back when he was talking!
He reached out his big hand and took her small hand, said, "Amy, listen to me. You can still deal with the company's affairs. Don't lose your fighting spirit so soon."
Amelia shook her head and looked at him with bleak eyes. "Mr. Hopper, I really appreciate your kindness, but I am tired. Let me be selfish for once, and let go of this position."
Instead of waiting for others to push her away, she would rather propose resignation. She was not like a naughty dog who shamelessly stayed in the Apex Construction Corporation when unwanted.
"Madam Alice, you haven't eaten for a whole day.
I'm afraid that you will starve yourself."
"Yes, madam, I asked the kitchen to prepare supper for you. Please have some."
At this moment, the two maids were taking turns to persuade Alice to eat.
However, Alice did not say anything. In the end, she even lost her temper. "I don't want to eat! Take them away and don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
"Madam..." The maids looked at each other. They did not understand why Alice, who had always been kind, would become like this.
Who had provoked her?
Speak of the devil, a light singing voice came from the Hidden Latch.
Everyone looked over.
They saw that Brittany who was always making trouble, was walking in unsteadily with a flushed face. She even kicked off her high heels while walking.
"Alas, Ms. Brittany's indecent behavior might be scolded by the madam again," the servants thought.
Brittany burped and said, "Good evening, everyone!" Her eyes glazed over as she burped, "Good evening!"
What was wrong with Ms. Brittany?
None of the servants dared to answer her. One of them went behind Brittany and quietly picked up her high heels. Then, she quickly fled from the scene to avoid being implicated by madam's fury.
All the sharp- eyed servants immediately busied themselves elsewhere.
