Chapter 164
Chapter 164
When Amelia was a child, she was in poor health and always got sick. At that time, her mother was still alive. Every time she had injections, her mother held her and praised her for being a brave child. After that, she would also be rewarded with a fruit candy...
Just as she was feeling sad, the pillow was taken away. When Patrick saw her crying shoulders, he couldn't believe his eyes, "You..."
"What! Can't I cry because of the pain?" Amelia wiped her tears and pretended to be fine.
Patrick pointed at her head and said helplessly, "I want to say that your hairstyle is in a mess." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Amelia was speechless.
Seeing that Amelia had something on her mind, Patrick changed the topic stiffly, "How do you feel? Paisley is skilled in giving injections, isn't she?"
In fact, he wanted to ask whether her waist hurt because of the injection. Unexpectedly, he expressed the wrong meaning.
Amelia forced a smile and said, "You know whether she is 'skilled' better than me."
Hearing the deeper meaning of her words, Patrick said thoughtfully, "Mrs. Hopper, your words are so strange. Are you jealous? Is this why you refused to be treated by Paisley when you knew that?"
Amelia's eyes trembled slightly. She tried her best to calm down and said, "You loves a woman in your heart and there are so many women who like you. How can I be jealous of you? Am I insane?"
Patrick was stimulated by her words. He suddenly grabbed her shoulder and lifted her up from the bed.
Her long hair was flying in the air because of his movements, which was so beautiful in his eyes. "Well, remember what you said. If you fall in love with me one day, even if only a little, you will be insane!"
After saying that, he pushed her to bed and left angrily.
Amelia curled up in the quilt and hugged herself.
If she did not say that, she was really afraid... that she would fall in love with Patrick one day.
The next day.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Amelia got up from the bed on time. Feeling that the injury on her heart had recovered a lot, she changed her clothes and took the subway to the company.
"Amelia! You b*tch!"
As soon as she arrived at the company, she heard a scream. Before she could react, several women surrounded her, beat and kicked her.
The pain on her body reminded her that she was in a bad situation. In confusion, Amelia recognized Meggie. Just as Meggie who was trying to scratch her face, she protected her face with her arm.
Amelia growled, "Meggie, are you crazy?"
Meggie sneered and said, "B*tch! You're finally here!
Girls, beat her hard!"
When Meggie's friends heard this, they beat Amelia with great strength.
At this time, someone shouted, "Since she likes seducing men so much, let's take off her clothes so that everyone can see how slutty she is!"
"Okay! Do it like this!"
They laughed. Some tugged Amelia's hair, and others tore her clothes...
There were so many of them, so Amelia could do nothing to resist. She felt painful and uncomfortable. No matter how hard she tried to escape, she could not get rid of them.
"Stop!" Amelia took an opportunity and took back her bag from one of them and stared at them vigilantly.
Her growl made them stop taking off her clothes temporarily.
Meggie put her arms around her chest and said with a snicker, "I even want to ruin your foxy face while dreaming at night. I finally get the chance. Don't think about running away!"
Amelia raised her hand and touched the blood on the corner of her mouth which had been caused by Meggie. She said angrily, "I don't know why you beat me!"
Thinking that her father told her that she couldn't go back to Roxxon to work in any case, Meggie looked at Amelia with even more hatred, "It's all because of you that I was fired!"
Amelia was puzzled, "You were fired? It's none of my
business!"
Meggie said indignantly, "Do you think I will believe that you are innocent? Girls, take off her clothes quickly. I'll show everyone how slutty she is!"
Seeing their aggressive faces, Amelia's face turned pale...
"Are you beating a girl now? It seems that your hobby is a little special."
A male voice sounded. Meggie and her friends quickly turned their heads and saw a handsome man walking toward them with smiling eyes.
Meggie's friend asked her nervously, "Is he... Patrick? What should we do..."
"Don't worry! He's not Patrick. Don't panic." Meggie turned around and saw a man she had never seen before.
The man said, "You ladies, I'm not a man who doesn't beat women. So, you have two choices. One is to apologize to Amelia and then leave, and the other is to be beaten by me, then apologize to her and leave."
Meggie was so impulsive that she wanted to beat the man, but her friend stopped her, "We're all girls. If we fight with him, I'm afraid we'll lose."
Meggie gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not scared!"
After she was kicked out of Roxxon, she had nowhere to vent her anger and almost got crazy. As long as she could teach Amelia a lesson, she had nothing to afraid.
"Meg, listen to me..." Her friend whispered in Meggie's ear. Meggie thought for a while and then nodded unwillingly, "Let's give her a lesson later. Let's go!"
After those women left, Hobart gentlemanly asked Amelia to get on his car to arrange her clothes.
Amelia knew that it was not the time to refuse him. After thanking him, she sat in the car and looked at herself in the driving mirror. She was really in an awkward situation.
The ponytail on the back was pulled into a mess, and she looked like a beggar on the street. Seeing this, Amelia simply freed her hair from a rubber band and shook it off her shoulders.
Noticing that Hobart's eyes were fixed on her, she turned her head and said with a smile, "Thank you, Hobart."
Hobart stared at the bruise at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Who are they? Why did they make trouble for you?"
Amelia licked her lips and looked embarrassed.
"Can't you tell me? Anyway, I saved you." Hobart's voice sounded a little disconsolate.
"No!" Amelia said in a hurry, "Actually, I'm also a little confused."
Meggie was forced to leave the company. Shouldn't she blame Patrick? Why did she take revenge on her?
Besides, the reason why Meggie was fired was that she was arrogant and unreasonable.
That day in Patrick's office, the reason why Amelia apologized to Meggie so quickly was that she knew that Patrick wanted to take advantage of the public opinion to fire Meggie.
