Chapter 292
In the president's office at Roxxon Corporation.
The secretary who came to deliver the documents felt terrible when she saw Patrick staring at the phone.
He looked like he was in love and didn't look like her usual bossy at all!
Upon hearing the secretary's footsteps, Patrick turned cold. He said unhappily, "Why didn't you knock on the door before you came in?"
The secretary was not sure what to say because she had knocked on it many times just now.
Patrick had just finished talking to Amelia and was in a good mood, gently warned, "Just don't ever do that again."
The secretary did not respond and handed over the document in silence.
Patrick took over the secretary's documents and said, "I want you to organize some people and go to a place to do something."
The secretary was unconsciously infected by the seriousness of Patrick's words, "Boss, is it related to Madam Amelia Ramsay again?"
Patrick gave the secretary a glance. She couldn't help but shiver, seemed to say something wrong...
But, Patrick wondered, "Is it that easy to guess what am I asking you to do for me?"
The secretary relaxed, so her boss wasn't blaming her for meddling!
In the men's clothing brand store.
Elena said to Maryanne worriedly, "Boss, these beggars have been sleeping at the door of our store. The guests are not dared come in. How should we do?"
Maryanne stared at those beggars surrounding her store. They weren't doing anything bad, but they were moving their nest under the overpass to the front of her store, begging customers who passed by to avoid her store.
Maryanne slammed the table and asked angrily, "Where did these people come from?"
Elena shook her head and said, "I don't know either. They suddenly appeared."
Maryanne was pissed off, "D*mn it! It must be Amelia!"
She turned to stare at the leisurely Milton and said, "Did you team up with her to tease me?"
Milton was incredible, "Clear it. It was you who called me and I came here. Before that, I didn't know that Amelia was visiting your store. Besides, with her character, she would never use this kind of means. You blame her wrongly."
Maryanne felt ridiculous for his confidence, "How do you know it's not her?"
Milton teased, "I just know that she isn't you, Miss Fire-flaming."
Maryanne's eyes widen and yelled, "Why do you have to humiliate me with such a terrible name?"
Milton shrugged and said, "You did something wrong first. I just wanted to use this name to remind you that Amelia is fundamentally different from you."
Maryanne was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at Milton and said coldly, "Since you despise me so much, would it be nice for you if I terminate my cooperation with you? From now on, I don't have anything to do with you, so you go ahead and go on blind dates."
Maryanne pushed the store door open and left in a huff.
Milton shook his head and thought that he might have found the wrong person. Should he find a professional actor next time?
Elena, who had been paying attention to the situation at the door, suddenly screamed. She shook Milton's shoulder and said in a hurry, "Mr. Cook! Please get up and help my boss!"
"What's wrong?" Milton got up from his chair. His relaxing expression froze when he saw Maryanne.
He strode to the door, grabbed the beggar's dirty hand that was reaching for Maryanne's chest, and said grimly, "What are you doing?"
Maryanne had lost her earlier arrogance and leaned toward Milton in fear.
The beggar was flabbergasted, the pain in his wrist reminded him of the current situation was not good, he just took money to do things for people, but after seeing the store owner is a hot woman, he could not help but tease a bit, did not expect to meet trouble!
As the other beggars saw this scene, they immediately dispersed. They received instructions they need only hang around the store, so that the customers could not come in. As soon as they were evicted by the police and city officials, they must immediately disperse, and then wait for the opportunity to regroup. Their purpose was to disrupt Maryanne's business.
Considering that the employer did not ask them to act rashly with others, the beggar who was lecherous with Maryanne said, "I'm sorry. I just want to remind her that this lady's collar is a little dirty!"
Milton shook off the beggar's hand heavily and yelled fiercely, "Get the f*ck out!"
After the beggar escaped without any guts, Milton turned his head and looked at the frightened Maryanne, "Are you okay?"
Maryanne's eyes were filled with surprise as she had thought that Milton would make fun of her...
She struggled to squeeze out a sentence, "Why do you help me?"
Milton smirked and said in an annoying tone, "I'm a gentleman, and I can't stand a lady being bullied. But strictly speaking, you don't deserve the word 'lady'."
Maryanne wanted to thank him at first, but now it seemed that... she had better forget about it!
Milton then said, "Bye, I'm going back."
Maryanne asked a bit rudely, "Hey! Where are you going?" "Didn't you terminate the cooperation with me? Why
do I stay?"
Milton looked back, and his face against the sun was surprisingly pleasing to Maryanne.
She touched her finger uneasily and said reluctantly, "I just said that on impulse, but since you helped me, let's continue to work together."
Milton pretended to be embarrassed and held up his forehead: "But suddenly I don't want to work with you."
Maryanne was pissed off at him and said, "D*mn you..."
"I'm just kidding you." Milton interrupted with a sudden laugh, "I'm happy to continue working with you, as we hate each other so much."
In the afternoon.
When the bell rang for the end of class, the automatic door at the entrance of Sofia Elementary School opened and Amelia was about to go inside, but was stopped by security, "You can't go in there!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Amelia recalled what Ashley had told her in the morning, "My child told me that I could pick her up from class."
The security guard replied, "You don't look like a bad woman. I guess maybe the child didn't make it clear to you. Our school management is very strict that parents can take students into the classroom, but at the end of the school day, parents can only wait at the school gate, in order to prevent some suspicious people who want to kidnap children."
