Chapter 882
Chapter 882
As for the existence of that kid, not only he had never heard it from Sissi herself, none of his classmates had ever spread any rumors of her pregnancy. This was more than enough to suggest that the kid was a mystery to everyone.
"Could it be that it was a stillborn baby?" Patrick began to make a wild guess.
Rubbing his temple, Patrick had no other choice but to convince himself this way.
On the other hand, Amelia had already come out from the Land of Fragrance. She could not help touching her handbag as she had brought along her passbook in it. She was going to use her savings to buy herself a car.
Originally, she thought that she was going to invite Patrick to come along with her so that he could give her some valuable opinions. This was also the reason she had dressed up early in the morning.
Thinking that after she placed order of car, she could subsequently take the chance to invite him to spend time with her elsewhere in order to mend the gap between them.
Unfortunately, the reality never went as planned. It would be so much easier if she merely dreamt of it. With Sissi by his side, she meant nothing to Patrick anymore.
Sneering, Amelia hailed a taxi and got into the car immediately. Upon telling the driver that she needed to head to 4S store, she began to sit back and digest her anger and disappointment.
"Miss, we've arrived."
"How much is the taxi fare?"
"Fifty-two dollar." The driver handed over the receipt to Amelia.
She confirmed the amount of fares from the receipt again before she took out the exact amount of cash from her purse. After paying the driver, she had later came to the entrance of 4S store.
Amelia could not help furrowing as soon as she saw the familiar brand logo on the signboard of the shop.
"D*mn it! Why am I here to visit the shop of Patrick's best friend?"
"Humph! Don't you ever expect that I'm going to let your best friend earn my money after what you've done to me today!" Amelia cursed in her heart.
She then turned around and left.
Before Amelia could leave, she could hear the sound of footsteps shuffling from the back. Followingly, she heard someone calling, "Mrs. Hopper?"
Amelia did not stop. She wanted to turn a deaf ear. After all, he did not call out her name.
The next second, the voice from the back called again, "Ms. Ramsay?"
Amelia paced up without looking back. She tried to convince herself that there was more than one person with the last name of 'Ramsay' out there.
Followingly, he called out, "Ms. Amelia Ramsay? My best friend, Patrick's wife?"
Amelia knew that it would be too pointless if she continued to pretend as if she had not heard him calling.
Pausing, she gradually turned to her back and glanced at the person who had called out for her numerous time.
The man who was walking towards her was no doubt a good-looking man. With a touching of red necktie, he was smiling at her friendly.
Even though Amelia had only seen him for once at night, his outstanding appearance along with the fact that he claimed to be Patrick's best friend was more than enough to leave an impression on Amelia.
Nonetheless, she did not expect that she was going to bump into Charles Sullivan.
Pulling herself from the thought, she greeted faintly, "Hi, Mr. Sullivan. What a coincidence!"
Blinking, Charles replied, "I had not expect that you actually remember me."
Amelia nodded and said, "Of course I remember you. You had sent my husband home once after he got drunk."
Charles could not help feeling embarrassed upon hearing this. Even if at that time Patrick and Amelia had just newly wedded, Charles had insisted on asking Patrick out for a drink. He remembered he had even called over dancers to spice up their gathering. However, it was such a regret that Patrick's self discipline was extraordinarily impressive. He demanded to return to Land of Fragrance as soon as he finished drinking.
That was the very first time he met Patrick's wife in person whom he had met again right this time.
Charles sneaked a glance at Amelia again. Convincing that there was no hint of sarcasm in her eyes, Charles came to think that she had not realized what exactly had happened on that night in the pub. He smiled in relief and said, "You have such a good memory. Oh yeah, hold on..." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He took out a name card from the pocket of his suit before he handed it to Amelia with both hands and said, "This is my name card. If it is possible, I wish I can officially get to know you this time."
Taking the name card from him with both hands, Amelia quickly swept a glance at the content of it. All she could see was Charles' name engraving on it as well as a number of company names on the other side of the card.
Two company names had caught Amelia's attention.
Firstly, the card enlisted Charles as one of the persons in charge of Royal Job Club and secondly, meanwhile, he was also one of the investors of this Audi 4S store.
After keeping the name card in her handbag, Amelia said flatteringly, "I'm impressed to know that you are a stakeholder of a number of companies. You must be a capable person who needs to attend to various matters. It'd be best that I take up your time no more. I shall go now."
Smiling, Charles stood forward and blocked Amelia from her way, "I heard the workers saying that you had spotted on one Audi QQ the other day when you were in our store. And that it had later been gifted to you as a present for newlywed from Mr. Rhodes, am I right?"
Amelia was surprised that he even knew which car that she had bought.
She could not help feeling embarrassed when he brought it up. After all, she assumed that she had been in debt of an amount of approximately three hundred thousands dollar for such a gift.
Just as she could feel her cheek burning, Charles said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Hopper."
Amelia was taken aback by his apology out of nowhere.
Charles continued, "It was such a regret that I hadn't made it to attend the wedding ceremony of you and Patrick. I had since then forgotten also your newlywed present. Then I heard my worker saying that you and Patrick had dropped by to buy a car. It was a shame that someone else had gifted you the car as a wedding gift. I claim myself to be Patrick's best friend yet I had not sent my regard so far. Please forgive me for my forgetfulness."
Smiling, Amelia said, "It is more than enough that you had been having us in mind. It doesn't matter whether there's a gift or not."
Pausing, Charles asked concerningly, "Oh yeah, I saw you wandering in front of our store just now. May I know if..."
Eyes flickering, Amelia tried to make up an excuse, "Oh, I was just passing by!"
"I see." Nodding understandably, Charles had come up with another plan on his mind. He continued to say, "Since fate had brought us together, why don't you drop by my store before leaving?"
Amelia hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's okay. My friend is waiting for me. I shall leave now."
Charles replied enthusiastically, "Where are you heading to? Let me give you a lift."
Amelia fell into a dilemma. She was not familiar with this place at all. If she by mistake mentioned any place which was thousands of miles away from here, then there was no doubt that Charles was going to catch her lying.
She had no other choice but to say, "Mr. Sullivan, I'm sure that you have a handful of things to deal with. I don't want to take up your time."
Charles thought for a moment and said, "Well, since Patrick is not working today, why not I call him now so that he can come over? After all, it's not safe for someone as pretty as you to wander on the street alone."
"How could he be so clingy?!" Amelia screamed from her heart.
Charles was no doubt a pain in her ass. She came to think that he was doing this on purpose so that he could cheat her into spending money at his shop. If this was the case, then he was
indifferent from any
of those cunning persons around her!
Taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile on her face, "Mr. Sullivan! Now I suddenly remember that my friend had sent me a text message a while ago. I guess she isn't feeling quite well at the moment. Do you mind if I drop by at your shop and have a seat?"
