Jonathan helped her to find a new assistant?
Amelia changed her expression and tried to be as gentle as possible. "Well, I'm free right now. Let her in!"
One minute later.
"Nice to meet you, President Ramsay.
I'm Audrey Atkinson. Previously, I worked in the financial department, it was Director Tucker who introduced me to be your assistant."
As she spoke, her face was still flushing. She came over immediately after she received Amelia's order.
Hearing that she had been gasping for air, Amelia said kindly, "Sit down and take a rest."
"Oh? It's okay! If you have any advice, I'll just stand here and listen," Audrey immediately responded.
"I have nothing to say, as long as you are doing your job well," Amelia answered back casually
Audrey asked, "Then what are the things that are not in my job scope?"
Amelia shot a glance at her and said seriously, "If someone asks you about my working schedule or my life, you should just ignore them. Do you
understand? Oh, by the way, Director Tucker is an exception."
Audrey nodded her head and said, "Okay, got it."
At 6:30 p.m.
In the coffee shop.
Jessica, who was waiting by the door, saw Amelia coming down from a taxi, she could not help but greet and asked, "Amelia, where's your car?"
Amelia said moodily, "Don't mention it. It's a long story."
"Oh." Seeing that she was unwilling to say more about it, Jessica played along and changed the subject. "Let's get into the cafe first!"
"Sure." Amelia walked beside Jessica. When she entered the store, she realized that there were no employees or customers in it. She could not help but ask, "Hey, where's everyone?"
Jessica said, "Oh, as we're lacking staffs for the moment, I asked the guests to leave in advance so that we won't have to serve them when we're discussing later."
"Alright," Amelia replied in agreement.
Jessica pointed at a table and said to Amelia, "I've placed all the contracts there."
"Okay, I'll take a look at it now." Amelia pulled the chair out and sat down.
At the table, Jessica asked, "Can I offer you something to drink?"
Amelia shook her head and said, "It's fine, let's get down to business first."
"Okay then." Jessica only sat down after Amelia declined her offer. She moved the contract and pen to Amelia and said, "It's all here, take a look at it yourself. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."
Amelia took the contract handed over by Jessica. She opened it and glanced at it symbolically. Then she looked at the price and found that the transfer fee was fair, the price was a little lower than the market price.
"You'll have to take care of the staff's expenses, rent, and utility bills all by yourself. Is that fine for you?" Jessica asked at the exact right time.
Amelia raised her eyelashes and looked at her, "Yes, I can be responsible for all these. There's nothing much to say. Just leave them to me!"
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "Thank you, Amelia!"
Amelia picked up the pen on the table, pulled out the lid, and smiled towards Jessica, "You're very much welcome!" "Amelia!" Seeing that Amelia was ready to sign the contract, Jessica asked in surprise, "Aren't you gonna take a look at it?"
Amelia hesitated for a moment, then she raised her head and said, "I've already read through it carefully."
"You're lying!" Jessica snatched the contract and covered it with her hand. She then asked Amelia, "Tell me, what is the first line in the contract?"
As soon as Amelia finished her words, the three of them turn their head towards her.
Nora was first taken aback when she saw Amelia but then she smiled and said, "Amelia, you're off work?"
"Yes!" After Amelia responded, her glance fell on the two children that were holding Nora's hands.
Andrew looked taller than before and Ashley looked prettier than before. Seeing this, Amelia could not help but reach out her hand and touch their delicate round cute faces.
Andrew was still as sweet as before. As he opened his eyes, which were brighter than the stars and shouted, "Aunt Amelia, I miss you so much."
Ashley snorted coldly and ordered her brother in a childish voice, "Stupid! You can't say that you miss her! Do you hear me?"
Hearing this, Amelia could not help but show an injured expression. "Ashley, don't you miss me?"
Ashley pouted her lips and said, "You heartless woman, you don't even care about us at all! So, we promised that we will not like you ever again, let alone miss you!"
Ashley's tone was reprimanding but it brought warmth to Amelia's heart. "I'm innocent, Queen Ashley! You have always been the apple of my eye. How could I not have you in my heart?"
Ashley's little face went red because of excitement. She looked cute but her tone was still aggressive, "Liar! Then why haven't you visit us for so long?"
So it was all because of this?
Amelia was guilty but she had to use a white lie to appease the children's anger. "It's because I'm busy..."
At this time, Andrew interrupted, "Aunt Amelia, you've promised to video call me once a week and you didn't keep your promise."
Amelia went speechless.
As they say, one could be easily fooled by appearance and it was really true.
"That's right!" Ashley immediately grabbed Amelia's ponytail and said. "If you don't have the time to visit us, you would at least have time to give us a video call, wouldn't you? In the end, you are just deceiving us!"
