Chapter 842
After giving him the gift, Amelia's confidence boosted. So she took the initiative to ask, "By the way, Kaiden, are you here because you have something to tell me?"
Kaiden put down the model in his hand for a brief moment before saying casually, "Haven't you always wanted to meet Sawyer? The opportunity has come."
Amelia's heart bloomed from joy, and her voice was faintly trembling when she replied, "Really, Kaiden? You... You're kidding me, aren't you?"
Kaiden glanced at her contemptuously and continued, "If I'm not serious about this, then why did I go through so many things just to send you there previously? Oh, by the way, you used your cleverness in the right way. Sawyer found out about you donating blood to Abner. To show his gratitude, he permitted me to take you to the island this Saturday. He'll be holding a banquet at his home for your arrival."
Amelia nodded excitedly. "Okay! This Saturday, right? In the morning or noon? I hope it's not in the evening. I'm afraid I'll leave the island late and disturb Mr. Quartley's from his rest." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Kaiden knew what she was thinking. Amelia was obviously scared she would not be safe on the island at night, and yet, she was claiming she did not want to disrupt Sawyer's rest... She had really learned a thing or two about pleasing people from being the acting chairperson the company.
"Taking the schedule into consideration, I'm planning to leave on Saturday morning with you."
Upon hearing him, Amelia let out a sigh of relief. If that was the case, she could leave the island before dusk.
Kaiden then continued, "Before you go to the island, I have a few important things to stress on. Sawyer doesn't have good memory, especially about recognizing women's face. So, you don't need
to dress up to meet him. It's best if you go there barefaced! Also, don't put on any perfume. You won't want to trigger Sawyer's rhinitis. Also, he has a slight case of resentment towards women. You should talk to him from three meters away. And last, he doesn't like others to look straight into his eyes. So, lower your head when you interact with him..."
At first, Amelia took down mental notes of what he said seriously. But after a while, she found herself lost in what Kaiden was actually trying to convey.
This Sawyer Quartley had too many rules, was he not? No to this, no to that. No wonder he had to live in such seclusion...
Also, why did Kaiden not tell her about these when they went to the island last time?
Seeing how Amelia was caught in a daze, he could not help but raise his voice and ask, "Did you hear me?"
Amelia snapped back to her senses and replied, a little struck dumb, "I did! Do you want me to recite it for you?"
Kaiden was amused by her earnestness. "No, I believe you won't take your company's fate to joke with me. Perform well. I'll help you when the time comes."
Amelia pursed her lips, thinking that as long as he did not smear her name in front of Sawyer, she would already be more than grateful!
Knock, knock...
Just then, two knocks sounded on the office door.
Amelia collected her thoughts and yelled out softly at the door, "Please come in."
Audrey pushed the door open and came in. She swept her glance over Kaiden to remind Amelia who was behind him, "President Ramsay, you have a guest."
Before Amelia could ask who it was, Kaiden ordered, "Ask him to leave. We aren't finished talking about
our affairs yet."
Amelia was stressed about having to meet two clients at the same time. So, she said to Audrey, "Please treat him to a cup of coffee outside. We'll finish our discussion soon."
Hesitating for a moment, Audrey continued, "But, your guest is..."
Kaiden shot a cold glare at her. "Are you the boss, or is she your boss?"
Audrey fell silent, and her eyes began to turn red from the grievance she felt.
Amelia frowned but said to Kaiden, "Mr. Wright, she's my assistant. Please don't overstep to tell her what to do."
Hearing Amelia, Audrey was deeply moved. She had never thought Amelia would speak up for her, who was just a newly appointed assistant!
Seeing how Amelia had insulted and bypassed him for an outsider, Kaiden could not help but get riled up!
But after calming down and thinking about it, he was only a guest, and there was indeed no reason for him to throw orders around in others' territory.
Clenching his jaw, Kaiden then said gruffly to Amelia, "Since you don't welcome me here, I'll leave after saying a few words more. Is that alright?"
"Mr. Wright..."
Amelia pursed her lips. She was about to say something to flatter him when Kaiden spat, discontented, "Huh? If you're addressing me that way, does that mean you don't treat me as a friend anymore?"
Amelia wished she could bang her head against the wall right then and there. Kaiden was even more sensitive than a typical young girl. How should she address him to satisfy him?
Amelia decided to not address him altogether and said, "I do welcome you. I'm more than delighted to see you here at Apex Construction Company! Look... I've already asked Audrey to entertain my other visitor. You can stay in this office as long as you like, okay?"
"Who cares!" Kaiden cried out arrogantly and contemptuously.
"Since you don't care, then just go!"
Amelia thought while suppressed her anger and continued to ask him about Sawyer.
As it turned out, she had offended Kaiden again for some reason. He glared at her and seethed, "Haven't I revealed a lot to you? Why do you keep asking me? Are you interested in Sawyer?"
Amelia was stunned. What was wrong with her asking some questions? She had also asked Jonathan to investigate Mr. Zouch, so did that mean she was also interested in Mr. Zouch?
There was not even that much space in her heart for her to salivate over so many men at once!
After managed to calm herself down with tremendous effort, Kaiden continued to jeer at her, "Let me tell you, don't give me the excuse that you're married now. Even if you're not, Sawyer won't even look in your way. Just give up!"
What the f*ck!
Amelia's hand under the table quickly curled into a fist. After thinking it over again, she emphasized the situation and said graciously, "Kaiden, don't worry. Even if Sawyer is everything a man could be, I will never harbor any thoughts about him and betray my marriage. I promise! I swear!"
Kaiden looked at her in silence for a second before adding with doubt, "Are you serious? Sawyer's charm is undeniable and one of a kind. There are very few women who don't get swayed by him when they see him."
Amelia flashed a smile and said with certainty, "I'm one of the 'very few'."
When it came to attractive men, she had never seen someone prettier than Kaiden. If Amelia could resist Kaiden's charm, then Sawyer would not be a
problem for her.
After hearing Amelia's solemn answer, Kaiden sighed from relief inexplicably.
Before he got up, he did not forget to pick up the Transformers figurine on the table and said meaningfully to Amelia, "I'm keeping this model. Also, remember what I said."
