Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 725

Amelia then stood upright and nodded apologetically to Kaleb and the rest.

After that, she reached out and pushed open the office door, inviting them inside and said, "Everyone, let's talk inside. I'll let Mr. Scott make a cup of coffee for everyone. He makes great coffee, so good that it makes me go, 'Hmm...' The tastes linger on you!"

Noticing the intoxicated expression on Amelia's face at the mention of Ryker, Kaleb could not help but feel a chill down his spine.

Recently, whenever Amelia was brought up on the topic, Ryker was either absent-minded or would avoid talking about her. Once, he even told Kaleb that Amelia was finding it difficult to be in front of her husband and about how pitiful she was!

Pitiful?

Was it appropriate to use such an adjective to describe the enemy?

Kaleb understood that Ryker was young, and he also agreed that Amelia was a beautiful lady. However, both good and evil could not coexist. They were plotting against Amelia's company, so how could Ryker have mercy and feel sympathetic to the

opponent?

What was more, what happened the previous day was downright outrageous! NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Though Amelia had been working under Ryker's nose all day, Ryker still had no idea about the arrangements Amelia and Jonathan made for the meeting. Did his brain, eyes, and ears all malfunction because of Amelia?

And right then, after hearing Amelia praise the coffee Ryker made, the already raging anger in Kaleb's chest then burst into monstrous flames of ire.

It was all Ryker's fault! His negligence had caused them their inability to respond to the project on the east zone!

He heard that Amelia had pulled Sawyer and Kaiden under her wing, and this was enough to turn the tide around Apex Construction Corporation's situation.

At first, Kaleb had joined forces with the rest of the directors and went against Jonathan and Amelia to fight for power and influence. Later Jonathan and Amelia had the support of another two big shots, the defensive wall that they had built and erected against them was blown apart in an instant!

To make the matter worse, Amelia had pulled them into the company by herself, which was enough for her to gain popularity amongst the existing

employees!

When they were at work this morning, Kaleb had even overheard more than one person praising Amelia for her effective capability.

After all, with the investment from Sawyer, they could miraculously come back to the game even if on the verge of collapsing!

And because of that, Apex Construction Corporation's employees were so delighted that they even selectively forgot about the rumoured divorce between Amelia and Patrick!

How frightening was the power of worship for a single person!

And Kaleb was well-aware of this.

It was because of this reason that he became even more resentful of Ryker's incompetence and obsession!

With these thoughts flashing in his mind, he forced a smile at Amelia and said, "President Ramsay, you're too polite. We're here to congratulate you on taking over the project in the eastern district. Why are you apologizing to us? You're the company's saviour!"

Amelia smiled and looked up at Ryker, who was sorting out files in her office, and said, "Ryker, see who's here?"

Upon hearing her, Ryker raised his head frantically.

He then found Kaleb glaring back at him, which made him break out in a cold sweat. He managed to cry out in a low voice, "President Ramsay, and all the directors, good morning..."

Kaleb snorted inaudibly, no longer taking Ryker as one of his people.

At such a sight, Ryker's smile froze, and he stepped aside awkwardly.

Amelia thought the tension between them was not fiery enough and decided to add fuel to it desperately from the side. "By the way, Ryker, make a cup of coffee for me. Your coffee is the best. I've never had coffee better than yours. If you're gone, I'll die craving for it."

Ryker then replied to her, distracted, "Thank you for your appreciation, President Ramsay. I'll go and make the coffee right away!"

When Ryker brushed past Kaleb's side, Ryker was terrified by the sinister gaze coming his way, as if Kaleb was telling him that he would not stay here for long!

Ryker felt rightfully indignant to have offended his superior when he had not done anything!

And Ryker could tell that Kaleb had no intention of letting him stay at Apex Construction Corporation any longer.

Therefore, the only one who could help him get out of his predicament was Amelia!

Yes! He had upset Kaleb for Amelia's sake. Amelia must cherish his loyalty towards her and promise to keep him here!

After Ryker left the office, Amelia casually leaned on the edge of the desk, greeting, "Please sit down, everyone."

Kaleb's group took their seats, and Kaleb took the lead to say, "President Ramsay, your trip to the eastern district this time was so mysterious and unexpected. Who would've thought you would strike up a storm after lying low. Also, your social skills are much better than Daniel's!"

Amelia returned a smile and said, "Uncle Kaleb, you flatter me. I only did what I should do."

And suddenly, Kaleb changed the subject. "But President Ramsay, running a company isn't the same as playing child's game. We won't deny that you're capable, but you brashly participated in the project in the east without consulting with the board of directors. Aren't you... Emm... Taking the opinions of the company's top management too lightly?"

Amelia then responded with a straight face, "Uncle Kaleb, you've misunderstood me. I've never thought it that way. To be honest, I went to the eastern district without expecting much. So, I didn't inform the directors because... I didn't want you all to be too tired out."

Kaleb gave her a strange look. "You didn't want us to be too tired out? What do you mean?"

"Uncle Kaleb, Think about it..." Amelia said with a serious tone, "If I had told the board of directors outright that I was going to strive for the big project at the east, everyone would have definitely

broken out into a fierce discussion about the pros and cons first. It might hurt the peace between the directors and maybe even began arguing with each other.

And if that happened, it will only going to be two outcomes. One of it would be the side that didn't support me won, then I could only give up on the project. And because of that, you guys wouldn't have had a reason to congratulate me today.

The other outcome was that the side that supported me won. But after that, we had to prepare a plan and proposal for the project. But what if Apex Construction Corporation wasn't strong enough in statistics and would've lost in the tender meeting?

Wouldn't everybody's efforts go to waste then? Wouldn't everyone's expectations come to nothing? And when that happened, the morale at the company would go down a notch, lowering the work efficiency of the employees. How was I supposed to keep this company running then?"

"But that's exactly what I want!"

Kaleb thought and gnashed his teeth in anger silently for a while before he said, "It turns out that President Ramsay hid it from us for our sake... I have misunderstood you."

Amelia replied with a chuckle.

One of the directors with Kaleb then chimed in, "However, it wasn't right of President Ramsay to hide it from the board of directors..."

To which Amelia hurriedly replied, "Yes! That's true! I admit this! I solemnly apologize and promise to everyone here that I'll hold a board meeting in advance before I make any other decision in the future. I'll inform everyone about my planning first, only then I'll proceed with it! Will this work?"
