Chapter 846
Right at this moment, Amelia's office door was knocked on again. Amelia closed the Amazon tab and crossed her fingers against her chin, she then said, "Come in."
The person who came in was Audrey.
When she saw that there was no one else in the office except Amelia, Audrey's tensed expression relaxed and returned to normal.
She did not expect the two devils would be gone after she came back from a toilet break. Next time, if any of them visited Amelia, she should take a toilet break to avoid being disturbed and tensed up by them.
While she was thinking, Amelia asked, "Audrey. Is there another guest?"
After regaining her composure, she shook his head and said, "No, President Ramsay. This time it's your turn to visit another investor, Mr. Hugh. We made an appointment with his secretary last Friday. Do you remember about it?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
All of a sudden, things cleared up for Amelia.
Because she had pissed off Kaiden at the restaurant last time, the meeting with the Quartley had also
been postponed.
Amelia had no choice but to make contact with other investors. She could not delay the entire process of Apex Construction Corporation just because of Sawyer.
It was not easy for her to persuade
Mr. Campbell Hugh to meet her this week but she did not expect Kaiden to come today and brought along some good news.
However, she would not be too proud of herself just because Sawyer had agreed to meet her.
She had to fight for the investment from Sawyer and Mr. Hugh too.
Once the theme park project started, the Apex Construction Corporation would need as much funds as they could have!
Amelia straightened up and said to Audrey, "Go and get ready. Get Uncle Tucker to come along with us to meet Mr. Hugh too."
At eight o'clock in the evening.
Since it was a social engagement, a meal and some recreational activity could not be avoided. It was almost an unspoken rule.
When Amelia and Audrey were taken out of the dining hall by Jonathan, both of them were
exhausted.
Especially Audrey!
"President Ramsay... Director Tucker... Ugh... Please excuse me!"
As Audrey was being supported by Jonathan, she broke free from his hand and ran to the nearest trash can to throw up.
Among the three, Amelia was the clear-headed one. She turned to Jonathan and said, "Uncle Tucker, you should take a rest in the car first. Don't worry, I'll take care of Audrey."
Jonathan stared at Amelia and nodded along with a reply 'sure'. He then took the key, unlocked the car and went into it.
Amelia turned around and walked towards Audrey who was holding on to a pole while vomiting.
After a while, Amelia helped Audrey to clean herself up and took her back to the car.
Seeing that Jonathan and Audrey were both dead drunk, Amelia changed her seat with Jonathan and volunteered to drive.
"How can I let you do that." Jonathan replied.
Amelia tried to persuade him. "Uncle Tucker, it's not good for you to drive while you are tired, besides, there would be operations carried out by the traffic police at this route around this hours."
"Alright then." Jonathan reluctantly agreed.
On the way, Amelia looked at Jonathan and Audrey through the rearview mirror.
At the banquet, they really warded off a lot of wine for her. Therefore, she was fine but the two of them really suffered a lot.
What was gratifying was that they had secured the investment. So their hard work these few days was not in vain.
Although Amelia knew where Audrey and Jonathan lived, she had to send Audrey back first due to the fact that the car she was driving belongs to Jonathan. After she dropped Audrey, she then drove up to Jonathan's garage.
After parking the car, Amelia turned her head and noticed that Jonathan had already fallen asleep.
"Uncle Tucker, you're home," Amelia called out to him but Jonathan had already fallen into a deep sleep.
In desperation, she saw that Jonathan was gripping his mobile phone in his hand.
She thought for a moment, then she leaned over and took his mobile phone. She found his landline number in the contact book and dialed it.
A few seconds later, a woman answered the phone.
Amelia recognized her voice at once. She greeted the lady sweetly and later explained Jonathan's
situation to her.
Ten minutes later...
Amelia, who was waiting in the car heard someone knocking on the glass window on her left.
She rolled down the car window and found that Jonathan's youngest son, Miguel was standing outside the car. Since she had met him once, she nodded and gave a polite smile.
"President Ramsay." Miguel was shaken by Amelia's smile but he managed to get it out of his head in a split second.
He immediately pointed at Jonathan who was lying on the back of the car and asked, "President Ramsay, what's wrong with my dad?"
"Err, there's a banquet today. Uncle Tucker drank too much." Amelia said.
Miguel stuttered for a moment. "He's such an old man yet he doesn't even know his limits, he really deserves to have high blood pressure!"
Although he said so, a sense of worries flashed through his eyes.
Amelia licked her lips and wanted to comfort him butthen Miguel said, "President Ramsay, I have something to discuss with you." "Sure, I'm all ears." Amelia listened carefully. "Can you please let my dad retire earlier? I have the ability to earn money now, I can definitely take care of him..."
Amelia was stunned.
"However," Miguel swept a glance at the unconscious Jonathan and scratched his head helplessly. "I'm afraid that he's unwilling to do so. He's unable to stay still."
While listening to Miguel talking, she was reminded that he was really similar to George.
"Oh! I'm sorry, President Ramsay. I talked too much without noticing, I must have wasted lots of your time, haven't I? I'll take my father upstairs now."
As soon as the voice fell, Miguel immediately dragged Jonathan out of the rear car.
Amelia could not stand his being so rough, so she got out of the car and helped Jonathan to get on the back of his son.
After that, she closed the door and locked the car.
When she turned, she saw the son turning around and leaving with Jonathan on his back. Amelia cried out and asked, "Hey, do you not want your car anymore?"
"Oh, I have almost forgotten about it!" Miguel turned his head and gave Amelia a simple and honest
smile.
Since both of his hands were carrying Jonathan, Amelia had to stuff the car key into his pocket.
"It's done. Please take Uncle Tucker home," she said.
Although Miguel was careless, he was not an idiot. Seeing that Amelia had returned the car key to them and her hands were empty, he could not help but ask, "President Ramsay, what about you?"
Amelia patted on her bulging coat and said, "Don't worry! I have money with me. I can take a taxi myself."
Miguel then turned and left without saying anything with his father on his back.
After he left, Amelia took her leave too.
Five minutes later, she successfully stopped a taxi by the side of the road.
