Chapter 178
Amelia argued, "Even if it's a toy car, it will be one that can carry people!"
"Whatever." Patrick didn't want to argue with her.
When they walked into the 4S shop one after the other, the female owner of the shop immediately invited Patrick to drink tea. Amelia found that they were familiar with each other. But she was not surprised, because Patrick was so charming that everyone woman wanted to know him. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After Amelia waited for a while, the female owner in the cream- colored employee's uniform followed behind Patrick and came to her. She asked kindly, "Miss, are you here to buy a car? Please take a look..."
Amelia said yes and looked around the whole shop. It was just an ordinary action, but she looked so charming when she looked around with her big eyes.
Patrick stood opposite her and was touched by her charm. If it weren't in the car shop, he really wanted her to only look at him.
The female owner introduced to Amelia in a familiar way, "This one is specially designed for women. It is very popular among female customers. Would you like to have a try?"
Amelia looked at Patrick subconsciously, intending to consult him. She was not a car fan and didn't know much about cars. She thought that Patrick would know more about cars than her.
Patrick knew what she was thinking about and said with a smile, "Don't worry, she won't lie to you."
The female owner smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Rhodes has been Mr. Hopper's good friend since he was a child. I don't dare blackmail you two."
William Rhodes? One of Patrick's good friends?
Amelia suddenly understood. No wonder Patrick was so kind to the female owner. It turned out that William was her boss.
After picking for a long time, Amelia chose a soft-top convertible car with two doors and two seats. The car was small, and its color was gorgeous silver white.
After sitting in, she was satisfied with the flexible roof of the car. How comfortable it was to drive such a car out for a ride!
Patrick knocked on the car window with his hand when he saw that Amelia hadn't got off the car after a long time. He looked at her asked, "How is it?"
Amelia got out of the car and nodded with great satisfaction, "Yes, I like it very much."
However, Patrick was not very satisfied, "It's still early now. Let's have a look at other cars."
Amelia shook her head and said, "I want to buy this."
Even the female shop owner persuaded her, "I think the former one is more suitable for your temperament."
Amelia said patiently, "Thank you, but I really want to
buy this."
The female shop owner turned around and shrugged at Patrick, then she went to the front desk to write a receipt.
Patrick looked at her with a complicated expression in his eyes, "I can buy you a better car, but why don't you want it?"
"Indeed, that one she recommended is more beautiful and its performance is better, but its price is about one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. It is not suitable for an executive like me. Mr. Hopper, I know you're rich, but please think for me. If I suddenly drive a luxury car to work, what will other employees think about me?"
Patrick frowned and said, "Even if you don't say that you are my wife, as the elder daughter of The Ramsay Family, how can't you afford a car?"
Amelia lowered her head sadly. Patrick didn't understand what she was thinking in her mind.
What she wanted was not a title like "Miss Ramsay" or "Mrs. Hopper". If possible, she would rather be born in an ordinary but stable family with parents and a happy childhood.
Similarly, she did not have high requirements for her husband, as long as he could treat her sincerely.
The female shop owner came back and said, "I've just reported the situation to Mr. Rhodes. He said that since you want to buy this car for youe wife, he will sell it to you for free."
Patrick took it for granted and nodded, "Thank him for me."
Amelia asked him in a low voice, "Is it okay for us to accept the car?"
"Of course. When we got married, we didn't receive his cash gift which would be much more expensive that a car."
Patrick never hesitated in soaking his good friends.
Before he left, he asked the female owner to get a license plate, buy car insurance for Amelia and send the car to their house. Then he took her away.
On the way, Amelia inquired about William's business. Patrick said, "He is an agent of Audi in Northville. As for other things, you may not be very interested. If you have time, I'll take you to meet him."
Amelia was stunned. In the past, Patrick didn't want her to enter his friend circle, including his alumni association.
But at the moment, he actually took the initiative to take her to see his friend. Was this a kind of his change?
While Patrick and Amelia were in harmony with each other, Meggie's parents were in a panic.
In the living room, Meggie's mother was so anxious, "Honey, it's been a day and a night. Although Meg is naughty, she has never spent a night outside. Where did she go?"
Her father said feebly, "I have sent people to look for her. I will tell you immediately if I get some information."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and suddenly said to his wife, "Ask
Meg's friends to come to our house. I have something to ask them."
Hearing this, Meggie's mother took out the address book from the drawer of Meggie's room in a hurry and called her best friends one by one.
She called six girls, but only three of them arrived after a long time. Meggie's father had no time to care about this and asked them, "Did Meg contact you before she was missing?"
The three of them were surprised, "What? Is Meg missing?"
Meggie's father nodded dejectedly and said, "Yes, she was missing yesterday. I called you here to ask you, when was the last time you met her?"
One of them recalled, "Er, about three or four days ago."
Meggie's father asked again, "Where did you go and what did you do?"
The three of them lowered their heads and didn't want to answer him.
Meggie's father put on a cold face and growled, "Tell me!"
One of them was so frightened that her shoulders trembled. She said honestly, "Uncle, this is the case..."
At nine o'clock the next day, in Roxxon Corporation.
On the first day of the National Day holiday, more than a hundred top managers who were going to Latvia lined up to get on the coaches one after another. In order to prevent anyone from getting lost, everyone was given a small yellow hat.
Doris was not a manager, so there were only Amelia and Lily in the sales department who could go for this trip. When they got in the coach with their suitcases, they saw Patrick who was dressed in a dark suit.
When Amelia and Patrick looked at each other, Lily asked in surprise, "Mr. Hopper, why are you in this car?"
By right, with Patrick's status, he should have taken a coach with those directors. Their coach was relatively spacious.
