Chapter 145
Looking at Meggie who pretended to be guilty, Amelia rubbed her wrist and said, "Meggie, if you focus on your work, your future in Roxxon will be brighter than in other listed companies. But all you think about is to flatter Mr. Hopper and threaten your rival in love."
Meggie thought that Amelia was ridiculing, but she didn't worry about her future at all. Because her father was a member of the board of directors of Roxxon Corporation! Even Patrick had to respect her father.
"Amelia, you don't have to worry about my future. Just worry about yourself. If I ask Mr. Hopper to fire you now, do you think he will agree?"
The big-eyed girl said quickly, "Meggie, Mr. Hopper likes you so much. Even if you want the stars in the sky, he will definitely pick them for you."
After they flattered Meggie enough, Amelia said to Meggie calmly, "You're not qualified to decide whether I should be fired. If you want Mr. Hopper to fire me, you must have a legitimate reason."
Seeing that Amelia was not frightened at all, Meggie said excitedly, "Amelia, you are right indeed. Unfortunately, you're old. Although your age can make you more capable in your resume, it's a burden in men's eyes. I hope you can remember the fact that you were abandoned by Mr. Hopper. Don't dream of seducing my man!"
"Let's go!" After that, Meggie winked at her friends, then they left the tea room in a threatening manner.
After they were left, Amelia took a sip of her tea. Her face was cold, and she was lost in thought.
Your man?
Meggie would never know that even as Patrick's wife, she did not have the confidence to say that Patrick was her man...
In the president's office.
Before Meggie broke into Patrick's office, the secretary stopped her.
Meggie glared at the secretary and said, "Mr. Hopper allows me to go in without informing him. How dare you stop me?"
The secretary looked at Meggie who was so arrogant, smiled and took a step back, "Please."
Meggie snorted arrogantly, pushed the door open and walked in.
Patrick didn't like offensive people. When he found that Meggie broke in without following the rules, he frowned slightly.
"Patrick!" Meggie rushed to him and threw himself into his arms.
Patrick's eyes turned cold in an instant, but he touched Meggie's hair gently and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Meggie said immediately, "I was bullied!"
Patrick asked with patience, "Is there anyone who dares bully you in the company?"
Meggie raised her watery eyes and said with coquetry, "Yes!" After a pause, she looked at Patrick's indulgent smile said, "When I went to the tea room, I met your former lover..."
Patrick lowered his head and asked with concern, "Did she do something terrible to you?"
"Yes! She threatened me that if I didn't stay away from you, she would throw acid on my face! My colleagues were all scared at that time."
Patrick asked in a pampering tone, "So what do you want to do?"
Meggie leaned against Patrick's arms softly, touched his chest with painted nails and said, "I... want you to help me."
Patrick stared at her expectant face and said yes. Then he asked his secretary to bring Amelia here.
Ten minutes later.
When Amelia pushed open the door of the office, Meggie sat on Patrick's laps and refused to come down.
In her opinion, Patrick was holding Meggie's waist and they were chatting happily, and her appearance broke the harmony.
Both of them looked at Amelia unhappily at the same time, as if she had done something unforgivable.
At this moment, Amelia even had an absurd idea. Should she kneel down to greet them?
Patrick squinted at Amelia and said, "Come here and apologize to Meggie."
Amelia couldn't believe what she had heard. She even forgot to close the door of the office.
Some staff passing by inadvertently were all listening and watching what was happening inside the office.
"I, apologize?" Amelia pointed at herself to make sure that Patrick was talking to her.
Patrick nodded, and Meggie was so smug.
Employee A, "Meggie is ridiculous! She's just an ordinary employee, how dare she provoke Madam Amelia Ramsay!"
Employee B, "Shh! Don't say that. If Mr. Hopper hears what you said, you'll get into trouble!"
After hearing the whispers behind her, Amelia suddenly understood. She didn't even ask why Patrick asked her to apologize, and said to Meggie, "I'm sorry, Meggie."
Meggie was surprised. She couldn't believe that Amelia actually apologized to her so quickly! This was her privilege given by Patrick! Even though Amelia was the manager, she had to respect her.
Meggie, who was extremely smug, ordered Amelia on behalf of Patrick, "Since you are quite sincere, I will forgive you for offending me in the tea room. Remember to step aside when you see me in the future. Well, go back to work."
Amelia smiled more brightly. She said okay and then left the office.
She thought with sarcasm that Meggie was living in her own dream. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Soon, in addition to seducing Mr. Hopper and causing Mr. Hopper to slack off his work, Meggie had another charge among people, which was being haughty because of Mr. Hopper's indulgence.
Meggie became more and more arrogant because she was Patrick's lover, and her father was the member of the board of directors of Roxxon Corporation.
Many people presented protests in Patrick's office, including many top managers and old employees.
Patrick pretended to have a headache and put his hand on his forehead. After listening to everyone's complaints, he said, "Calm down, everyone."
"Mr. Hopper, I have been the manager of the Public Relations Department for more than five years. Now even Meggie dares talk to me impolitely. She doesn't show my any respect." One of them complained, "She wheedled the newcomers in our department into being at her becks and calls, and they don't listen to me at all!"
Patrick listened to those people's complaints, but he was so happy in heart.
The chef said unhappily, "A few days ago, Meggie came to me. She said that the dishes I cooked were so horrible. She even threatened me that if I didn't improve it, she would tell you in person. I've cooked in Roxxon for more than ten years. How could my cooking skills worsen?"
Those employees were all complaining. Instead of being bullied by Meggie, it was better for them to take a gamble and told Mr. Hopper about what Meggie had done.
Hearing what they said, Patrick's face gradually became serious, as if it was the first time he had noticed Meggie's bad behavior, "I see. But Meggie's father is a member of the board of directors. Can you tolerate her more?"
