In the president's office.
Kaiden was lying on the table in a daze when Patrick suddenly came in. He was so scared that he quickly raised his head.
"Where's my design?" Seeing that Patrick's hands were empty, Kaiden could not help but ask.
"I left it to those masters."
"Why did you leave it to them?"
Patrick said, "As a negative example."
Kaiden's face suddenly turned red. "You're going too far!"
Patrick said coldly, "Only those who are not capable will be bullied."
"Enough!" Kaiden couldn't hold on any longer. "I was the one who was a bit sentimental, thinking that I could help her a bit, but now, it seems like I can't do anything at all! Congratulations, you've successfully made me realize the difference between us. Can't I just leave?!"
After venting, Kaiden stood up and rushed out of the office.
Patrick raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have overreacted.
Outside the office, Kaiden was on a rampage. After rushing into the elevator, he pressed the button of the basement floor without thinking.
The basement floor was the underground garage. He was heading home.
But when he arrived at the underground garage, he then found that he left his car key in the drawer of his desk, including his wallet.
At this time, he only had a mobile phone.
He took out his mobile phone and somehow called Amelia.
The moment the phone was connected, he began to regret, because he didn't want to complain like a primary school student. He wanted to make himself look mature rather than childish. It would only make her look down upon him more.
He didn't speak, but the ups and downs of his breath revealed his mood. Amelia asked sharply, "Kaiden, what happened?"
Kaiden closed his lips and tried hard to suppress his desire to make a scene.
But his breathing was getting more and more messy.
Amelia naturally heard him. "Did Mr. Hopper bully you?"
This sentence gave him an opportunity, but after he was tempted, he still replied stubbornly, "No! He wouldn't dare!"
"How can you be so angry?" Amelia chuckled. "I worked for him like you. I know that he has thousands of ways to train a person, so if you can't stand it, you can tell me. I can understand."
She made it sound so beautifully that she actually said "train" rather than "torture", but she was actually showing him some respect.
After Kaiden scratched his head, he began to gradually remove his guard and said gloomily,
"I just feel defeated."
"Oh? You actually felt defeated? This is really a world-shocking news."
"Stop laughing at me." If Patrick had said that, Kaiden would have beaten him up long ago. However, it was Amelia who said it, so he could accept it. He even complained in a childish tone, "I'm sad now. Can't you comfort me?"
"Sure, but you should at least tell me what happened, right?"
"That is... I spent a lot of effort to design these drawings, but when they are in front of those masters invited by Patrick, they are all... shit." When he uttered the last word, Kaiden felt even more depressed.
"Can I understand it as Mr. Hopper invited masters to teach a beginner like you a lesson?"
Although Kaiden didn't play much games, he understood the words like "Master" and "Beginner". "Yes, there are ten masters, enough to crush me into dregs."
As he said this, he couldn't help kicking the floor with his leather shoes, silently venting his anger.
"So you're angry because the alliance is so strong that you feel inferior?"
"No!" Kaiden was so anxious he was speechless. "I, I am..."
"Alright, alright, I know what you're doing." Amelia cleared up his thoughts. "You're afraid that Mr. Hopper won't accept your design, which means that you won't be able to help me, right?"
"That's right!"
"Then why don't you try to change your way of thinking? Apart from the blueprint, you have many other things to do, such as supervising. Of course, I have no right to ask you to stay behind to do these things. I just want you to feel better."
Just hearing her voice, Kaiden felt warm. "Well... I understand..."
"It's good that you understand." Amelia said encouragingly, "Cheer up. Didn't you say that you would help me? You can't always be so depressed.
Also, Mr. Hopper likes opponents like you the most. The more easily you get angry, the more he wants to provoke you. Listen to me, you have to learn to ignore him appropriately." Kaiden's face blushed slightly. "Am I too impatient?"
"You are still young. It's normal that you can't retain your composure. It's perfect for you to temper yourself under Mr. Hopper's tutelage. It can be considered a form of growth," consoled Amelia.
"I'm not young anymore! Also, you aren't my older sister either!" Kaiden didn't wish for this form of address to become an obstacle between them.
Amelia's pity was inaudible. "But I'm your sister..."
Kaiden asked in a confused tone, "What did you say? "
Amelia said, "Nothing. I'm just talking to myself."
"Well..." Kaiden scratched his temples with his fingertips and said shyly, "Can this conversation be a small secret between us?
After the call, Kaiden rubbed his face, put the phone in his pocket, and took the elevator back to Patrick's office.
Seeing his return, Patrick was not surprised at all. With just one glance, he continued to focus on his work.
Kaiden did not mention talking to Amelia at all. Now was not the time to show off.
He came to Patrick and asked, "I want to learn from those masters. Are you okay with that?"
Patrick looked up at him and said, "Why should I give you the resources?"
"..." Kaiden couldn't find a reason, so he had to compromise. "If it's not possible, what should I do during this time? Tell me, I will try my best to cooperate with you!"
Patrick narrowed his eyes. "How was this kid able to keep his composure after going out?"
"The secretary will inform you what you should do."
Hearing this, Kaiden immediately went outside to find the secretary.
"Mr. Wright, I think you should thank Mr. Hopper very much." The secretary was still remembering how Kaiden had scolded Patrick at the Jesse Tower, so she had a rather high profile.
"Although you are disrespectful to Mr. Hopper, he still gives you a rare opportunity. He not only asked ten masters to improve and complete your design, but also paid tuition fees for you. You can learn from them at any time."
When he heard this, Kaiden asked with shock, "Why did he do this?!"
"Because Mr. Hopper cherishes talent," the secretary said.
"Treasure talent? Me?" Kaiden's voice was full of disbelief.
What kind of talent couldn't a man as rich as Patrick recruit? Wasn't the ten top construction masters the best proof?
Patrick could have used their "Hand of God" to draw a new design. Why would he spend so much effort training him?
There must be some ulterior motive!
Kaiden turned and rushed back to the office.
Patrick had just put down the pen.
Their gazes met in midair. Kaiden was the first to lose his cool and asked, "Why?"
His brief question was followed by Patrick's concise reply. "No reason."
"Speak clearly!" Kaiden's brows were tightly locked together, his tone full of displeasure. "Are you feeling pity for me? Or are you plotting something?"
"Pity you?" Patrick sneered. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to be charitable? As for the plot, other than the fact that you're the cousin of Sawyer, what else is there for me to plot?"
