Chapter 841
Amelia's warm greeting did not earn a good look from Kaiden, which made her a little embarrassed, but it was within her expectations.
She did not dare to address him by his name anymore. Instead, she said politely, "Mr. Wright, please have a seat."
"Mr. Wright? Please?" When Kaiden finally opened his mouth, the tone he used was not a friendly one. "Amelia Ramsay! Where's your courage that you used to tease me with? Did a stray get it?"
"Yea, you got it," Amelia answered without thinking twice.
Well, it seemed like she had said something wrong again!
Amelia regretted what she said the moment the words left her mouth, but she did not expect Kaiden to laugh out loud with a relieved expression as if he was glad to see the Amelia he knew was back.
Amelia followed along with an embarrassed smile and said, "You're not angry with me?"
Kaiden replied. "Did I say I was mad at you?"
Amelia scratched her head and told him that it was a misunderstanding. Since Kaiden wanted to leave
what happened behind them, then why was she dwelling on it?
Kaiden pulled a chair in front of Amelia's desk, sat down, and began looking around her office.
Amelia sat down after he did. But unlike his casualness, her movements seemed unnatural.
If Kaiden did not talk to her about meeting Sawyer this day, Amelia would probably suffocate to death.
However, Kaiden continued to scan around her office, paying no attention to Amelia.
It was worth mentioning that Kaiden did not comment too much about her office, which Amelia felt better about.
Right then, Kaiden gaze swept across the Transformer next to the computer, and his entire being froze.
The Transformer was still in its sealed box, and it was only as tall as the height of a man's palm.
On the left of the Transformer was a Hello Kitty pillow, which was also brand new and sealed.
Gawking at the Transformer model in front of him, Kaiden was struck with both shock and obsession. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
After a long pause, just as Amelia began to think that she was invisible to him, Kaiden finally looked back at her.
The interest was still evident in his expression and had not faded away. He said, "I didn't expect that you, a girl, can also appreciate the wonders of Optimus Prime."
Amelia's mouth twitched. What did he just say?
"Optimus Prime... What does that mean?" Was he thinking was she thought he was thinking?
"Don't you know?" Kaiden asked in a tone that was even more curious than hers.
Seeing Amelia's face full of incomprehension, Kaiden raised a finger and poked it at the model box. "I'm talking about this."
Ah. So Kaiden was talking about the Transformers.
"Oh," said Amelia, feeling awkward. She was not invested in these toys that were generally targeted at the male demographic at all.
She could not understand why Kaiden could not have called it 'Transformers' either. Why did he have to call it like that? It sounded too professional for an outsider like her.
Seeing Amelia's face shrouded in a cloud of awkwardness, Kaiden retorted, "You're really too lame to not even know about this! Are you sure you're not someone from ancient time?"
"Alright, my bad!" Amelia brushed the tip of her nose. Taking in at how young Kaiden looked, but he knew a lot. Even she could not help but look down upon herself.
Seeing that Amelia did not retorted back this time, Kaiden did not continue on ridiculing her. However, his eyes were still glued on the Transformers figurine.
Seeing him, Amelia could not help asking, "Hey, you like it?"
Kaiden glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "I've always felt like the Transformers is something of men's romance."
Amelia was overjoyed upon hearing him. She had never known how to please Kaiden, but she accidentally stumbled upon the way to arouse his interest with the gift she had originally bought to give to Andrew and Ashley.
She rubbed her hands and pushed the figurine towards Kaiden, adding seemingly airily, "What a coincidence. I bought this for fun, actually. If you like it, you can take it."
"There're plenty I can get online," was what was on Amelia's mind. But, of course, Amelia did not say that out loud before Kaiden.
For some reason, when she said that, the smile on the corners of Kaiden's lips faded.
"There's no need." Kaiden tore his gaze away from the model and said indifferently, "Gentlemen don't steal things that belong to others."
Amelia was getting upset, for she could not figure out how he could switch up his demeanour like that.
To put it this way, Amelia knew how to cater to his pleasure as it was a brilliant idea to give him the figurine as a gift, but she was too casual and nonchalant about it.
In particular, she used the word 'for fun' to describe it in front of a Transformers aficionado, which was straight up an injuring insult to Kaiden's heart.
Just as Kaiden had a slight change in his attitude towards Amelia because of the Transformers model, Amelia had shattered his good impression of her with her own doing.
Amelia, who still had no idea where it went wrong, continued, "Are you sure you don't want it? I feel that you quite like it..."
Kaiden's lips pursed. He wanted to say he did not want it, but then he felt it was a waste and a tragedy for a hero figurine to fall into the hands of someone like Amelia, who had no appreciation for it.
So, he could not resist and reached out to grab the Transformers model from her hand, saying stiffly, "I owe you for this. If you see anything you want in the future, you can tell me. I'll get it for you as payback!"
Amelia's mouth parted slightly. To be frank, the figurine was not authentic. So, she did not spend a lot of money on it when she bought it online. But after Kaiden made this promise to her, it felt like this model was worth hundreds and thousands all of a sudden.
Amelia seized this opportunity and decided to butter him up as best as she could. She then took the remaining Hello Kitty pillow and put it before Kaiden. She asked with a smile, "Then, do you want this Hello Kitty pillow? You'll have a pair!"
Right then, a vein bulged on Kaiden's forehead. He felt like Amelia was jeering at him with the cartoon cat face of Hello Kitty. "I am not a girl!" He shouted.
The last word was particularly emphasized. It could be seen that Kaiden regarded his gender with great importance, even if Amelia knew he was a boy.
"Of course, I know!" Amelia repeated herself twice to show that she did not intend to make fun of him.
"But there's no law that states that men can't like Hello Kitty."
Looking into Amelia's bright and clear eyes, Kaiden's throat tightened. He admitted that he was being too sensitive about this, to the point where the atmosphere was tense once again.
He glanced away and added awkwardly, "I prefer toys that are more masculine."
Amelia then backed down with the reason he gave. "Oh, I see. Then, I'll keep this Hello Kitty..." for Ashley.
Kaiden did not catch the last two words. All he noticed was that Amelia was holding a Hello Kitty, and he was holding a Transformer she gave him. No matter how he looked at it, it felt like they were young kids who just exchanged with each other their tokens of love.
