Chapter 689

Author: Goldfish
Amelia felt exasperated at Christopher's answer. She looked coldly at him and said, "What kind of answer is that?"

The moment she asked that, silence fell over them both.

Their gazes locked, and the tension in the air was palpable. The only sound that rang in the entire room was the rain pouring outside.

They stood staring at each other.

After a long, tense pause, Christopher was the first to break the silence. "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

Amelia took a deep breath and look

Given the two times she was drugged, Jayden is the common denominator. Oooo! Good question. Hopefully, he won’t give one of his patented riddles or non-answers.

    The morning was packed with work. Amelia threw herself completely into the project, trying to numb herself through sheer focus.When Samantha walked into the office, the happiness on her face was impossible to miss. She chatted with coworkers about trying on engagement outfits tomorrow, her voice overflowing with excitement.Amelia sat at her desk, pretending not to hear any of it. She kept her eyes fixed on the data displayed across her computer screen.When the afternoon finally arrived, Amelia left the Academy of Aerospace early and headed to Evelyn's school.She walked into the classroom and noticed that most of the other parents had already arrived. The second Evelyn spotted her, she ran over with a bright smile, grabbed Amelia's hand, and pulled her toward the seats in the very front row.Once the parent-teacher meeting started, the teacher began discussing how the children were doing at school. When she mentioned Evelyn, she smiled warmly."Evelyn is a very thoughtful ch

    Samantha looked at Christopher's distant profile, quickly hiding the flicker in her eyes before slipping back into a gentle smile and linking her arm through his."Alright, let's stop talking about this and go eat before the food gets cold. Oh, right. Want to go try on engagement outfits tomorrow? The designer said the newest collection is finished, and we both happen to be free tomorrow afternoon."Christopher turned his head to look at her, his gaze dropping briefly to the slight curve of her stomach."Sure. I'll go with you tomorrow afternoon."-At the same time, Amelia sat in a cab on the way to Evelyn's school.The moment she arrived at the entrance, she saw Evelyn running toward her with her little backpack bouncing behind her."Mommy!" The little girl threw herself into Amelia's arms.Amelia bent down and picked Evelyn up, kissing her on the cheek. "Were you good at school today? Did you listen to your teacher?""I was good! The teacher even said my drawings were reall

    It all felt like something Amelia could never escape.No matter how hard she tried to avoid it, fate always found its way back to her.Amelia took a slow breath, forcing down the emotions surging inside her. Her voice came out calm, almost cold. "It doesn't matter who gets the credit."She paused, her gaze brushing past Samantha before settling on Christopher again. "In the end, this partnership is for the Academy of Aerospace. It's about making sure the drone project moves forward smoothly. I'll focus on the research. As long as it benefits the Academy, it makes no difference who handles the partnership."After speaking, she didn't look at either of them again before turning away.The hallway lights stretched her long and lonely shadow across the floor.Samantha watched Amelia's resolute figure disappear down the corridor. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else, but Christopher stopped her.He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the direction Amelia had g

    Rolf looked to be in his fifties. His dress shirt stretched tight over his belly. A greasy smile spread across his face as his gaze lingered over Amelia before he finally spoke. "Ms. Sinclair, sorry to keep you waiting. Traffic was a nightmare."Suppressing the turmoil inside her, Amelia stepped forward with a polite smile and handed him the proposal."Not at all, Mr. Silva. This is our revised procurement plan. Take a look. We've cut our own margins by 5% and shortened the delivery window to 45 days. It should fit perfectly with your project schedule."But Rolf didn't take the proposal.He slowly sipped his drink instead, his gaze drifting toward the window. "Ms. Sinclair, it's not that I don't respect your effort, but I'm afraid this partnership isn't going to happen."The smile on Amelia's face stiffened instantly, her fingertips turning cold. "Is there something in the proposal that doesn't meet your expectations? We can still make adjustments. Whether it's pricing or se

    Amelia shook her head lightly. "I just think relationships should happen naturally. You shouldn't rush into something just to escape the past. My life is peaceful right now. I have Evie, and I have a job I love. That's enough for me."She remembered what Winona had told her that morning."Don't reach out to him, and don't contact him. If he comes around, pretend you don't see him."For the first time in a while, her thoughts suddenly felt clear.Maybe she hadn't been trapped in the past at all. Maybe she simply hadn't met anyone who truly moved her, and Lincoln clearly wasn't that person.Lincoln watched her unmoved expression and knew there was no point in saying more. He could only sigh softly. "Alright. I respect your choice, but I still want you to know that my feelings won't change. If you ever change your mind, or if you run into trouble, you can always come to me."Amelia gave no further response.The private room fell quiet again, filled only with the faint clink of

    Amelia said nothing.Lincoln set down his glass, lightly tracing the rim with his fingertips as his gaze settled on Amelia's tense profile. His voice stayed calm. "Ms. Sinclair, a man like Mr. Zephyr isn't worth holding onto."Amelia paused with her utensils in hand. She didn't look up, only replied softly, "Mr. Spencer, let's discuss the investment details instead. I still need to submit a report to the Academy this afternoon."She deliberately steered the conversation away, unwilling to get tangled up in personal matters again.Especially with Lincoln. Ever since they first met at the resort, his interest in her had made her uneasy.But Lincoln had no intention of dropping the subject. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on her."As far as the project goes, my team has already coordinated most of the details with the Academy. Once you approve it, the funds can be transferred next week. But work isn't the only reason I asked you here today."He paused before speaking m

    Amelia didn't want Christopher to have too many interactions with her daughter.Although he was Evelyn's father by blood, he had never acknowledged her as his daughter and even hurt her. Since that was the case, Amelia would rather he keep his distance. She didn't want him to give Evelyn false ho

    After the host announced the results, the award ceremony began.Nicole didn't step forward to stop the event proceedings. It was a huge-scale affair, after all. Refuting the rankings and results was an insult to the organizer. She wasn't foolish enough to do that. Since the competition results we

    Their figures were well-presented, and the proposal could immediately be invested in and launched. Their meticulous work was marked by clear innovation.They were clearly way ahead of Nicole's team.Nicole's face fell.They only had 24 hours. How could they have done so much, and so well at that?

    Winona was right.Like master, like man.Subordinates would only be able to carry out their orders properly if their superiors gave them any."Ms. Sinclair, come sit in this car instead," Lincoln's secretary invited Amelia after settling Winona and Jasper down.Amelia followed him to another car
