Chapter 196
"You're so partial to her." Patrick leaned on the sofa lazily and said, "Meggie's father now suspects me and Amelia. I want to pass buck to Money Cabinet. I want him to believe that Meggie was sold to Money Cabinet by human traffickers. Money cabinet is an illegal brothel. Just use this reason to seal it up, thus Meggie's father will believe me."
"Where are the human traffickers?"
"They have run away."
Owen said logically, "Since they have run away, how do we know that Meggie was sold to Money Cabinet?"
Patrick said slowly, "You know criminal better than me. You can forge a few so-called witnesses!"
"Okay." Owen said with a chuckle, "Have you been disgusted with Money Cabinet for a long time?"
Patrick asked in reply, "What will you do if Nora is sold to Money Cabinet?"
Owen said without thinking, "I'll raze it to ground!"
Patrick said with a smile, "That's right."
Patrick thought that the topic would stop here, but Owen laughed out loud, "It seems that the example you gave is not appropriate. I care about Nora because I love her. But why do you care about Amelia?" Patrick frowned and said, "Because she is the daughter-in-law of the Hopper Family!"
Owen was helpless on the phone. What Patrick said was "the daughter-in-law of the Hopper Family", but not "my wife". It seemed that there was still a long way to go before he admitted that he loved Amelia in his heart.
In the sales department.
After the long holiday, the sales plan of "The Water for Life" was immediately put on the schedule.
Amelia called Lintons Ads Company and explained the situation to them in detail.
An hour later, Milton arrived at the sales department.
"Why did you come so fast?" Amelia had an illusion that Milton had arrived as soon as she put down the phone.
Milton raised his wrist and glanced at the watch, "If it weren't for the traffic jam, I could have been faster."
"Safety is the most important thing." Amelia persuaded him.
"I'm in a hurry to see you." Milton said with a glib tongue.
After punching his arm gently, Amelia went straight to the point, "As for 'The Water of Life', Mr. Hopper asks us to boost its sales. Apart from the package of the perfume, the poster man is also very important. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Milton was puzzled, "On the way here, I've read the information you sent me. The customers of this perfume are young people. It's rare."
Indeed, perfumes, wristwatch, and high-end wine were all relatively high-end goods. Generally speaking, the young people who had just graduated from college could not afford to buy them.
While successful middle-aged men were rich enough to try the perfume.
However, the perfume went for men between 20 and 35 years old. It didn't mean that middle-aged men couldn't wear it, but fewer of them would buy it relatively.
Amelia resolved Milton's doubts with a smile, "There are many perfumes for mature men on the market. Because we have just started to develop a perfume, we have many shortcomings when compared to the old brands. It's better for us to find another way to choose young customers. On the one hand, the market is big, and on the other hand, young people can accept more new things."
Milton said with approval, "A bold decision."
Amelia said, "Hey, you haven't told me who is the suitable poster man!"
The poster man should be decided by the advertising company, so Amelia was in a hurry to discuss it with Milton.
Milton touched his chin and said, "Shawn Haward, have you ever heard of this name?"
Amelia's eyes lit up as she said in a happy tone, "You mean the popular actor in the film and television circle recently? I like him so much and watch the soap opera he stars in every day. Can you invite him to our company?"
Milton didn't expect that Amelia would be so excited. He said jealously, "So you like him so much? Just forget about it."
After saying that, Milton got up and was about to leave.
Amelia went forward to stop him in a hurry and smiled apologetically, "I have never seen an actor, so I'm excited. Actually, you are more handsome than him!"
"Really?" Milton squinted at her.
Amelia nodded in a hurry.
Milton stood still and asked seriously, "Then tell me, which part of me is more attractive than him?"
Seeing that he was serious, Amelia held back her laughter and said, "Even your farts are more attractive than his. Is that okay?"
"Fine." Milton nodded with relief, "That's good."
Amelia and Milton talked until noon. As the director of the advertising company, Milton was not in a hurry to go back to the company to deal with his business. He patted his belly and said, "Amelia, treat me to lunch."
Amelia opened her dull eyes and said, "Forget it. I've spent all my money in Latvia."
"No!" Milton said in a hurry, "Then I'll treat you! Is that okay?"
Amelia glanced at the documents on the tables and said to Milton tiredly, "Would you like to go to the staff canteen with me?"
Milton agreed without hesitation. In his opinion, it was not easy to have a meal with Amelia, so he couldn't care about what he ate.
In the president's office.
Patrick put down the pen, turned the swivel chair, and looked at the scenery outside the French window from a high place.
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and said to him cautiously, "Mr. Hopper, the restaurant where you are used to eating said that they can't bring you meals today." Patrick did not take it seriously and said, "It doesn't matter. I can eat in the canteen."
In the staff canteen.
Amelia buying a temporary meal ticket for Milton. After that, she asked him to follow closely behind her, "There were so many people in the canteen, be careful and don't get lost."
Milton said with anger and amusement, "I'm a man, not a pet dog. How can I get lost?"
There were many big range hoods in the canteen, and they made a lot of noise when they're working, so the sound of people talking always couldn't be heard.
Therefore, Amelia had no choice but to turn around and ask Milton, "What did you say? Speak louder!" Milton got close to her ear and repeated his words. Patrick, who was walking into the canteen, saw what they were doing at a glance.
The secretary behind him noticed that he seemed to be unhappy, so she said, "Director Cook may come here to negotiate the advertising plan for 'The Water of Life'."
The words of the secretary were undoubtedly reminding him that Milton came here for business.
However, in Patrick's subconsciousness, Milton came more for Amelia.
"You know what to do, right?" He said in a deep voice.
The secretary understood and said, "I know, Mr. Hopper."
