Jeremy said, “Don’t forget, I’m one of the shareholders in your entertainment company. Plus, my company and yours already work together.
“We can talk more about the details and profit shares.”
Elian quickly cut in, “We still have work this afternoon. Amelia probably won’t have time to talk with you.”
Elian tried to stop them. He didn’t want Amelia to go.
Jeremy said, “Amelia, I can give you 20 percent more profit from our recent deals. You really don’t want to think about it?”
He ignored Elian and spoke straight to Amelia.
“Of course I’ll go,” Amelia said, her eyes lighting up as she agreed right away.
When money is involved, why say no?
Elian’s face darkened at once. He didn’t expect Amelia to agree so fast.
It made him feel very upset.
Jeremy smiled a little, looking pleased, like he knew this would happen.
He looked at Elian with a hint of challenge, as if saying, You can’t stop us.
Amelia didn’t notice Elian’s mood at all.
She was only thinking about that extra 20 percent.
To her, it was a big amount of money. It could help the company grow even more.
It might even help her artists get better opportunities, which would be a great thing.
In the end, Jeremy paid the bill. Elian had no choice but to go back to the office alone.
Jeremy was clearly very happy with the result.
After Amelia got into his car, she finally said to him, “You got what you wanted, didn’t you? Why are you acting so childish? Why are you competing with Elian like this? I really don’t understand you.”
There was another reason she agreed so fast. She just wanted to make this annoying man leave as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she felt he would never stop bothering her.
“What’s so hard to understand?” Jeremy said.
He wrapped one arm around her slim waist and pulled her close, so close that there was barely any space between them.

He continued, “Of course it’s because of you. You had lunch alone with another man. I was jealous, envious, and mad all at once.”
They were so close she could feel his breath. Amelia’s heart started to race.
It felt as if she said one wrong word, he might lean in and kiss her the next second.
“Say one more thing and I’m taking points off you!” she said, panicking as she tried to push him away.
But the difference in strength was clear. She couldn’t push him back at all.
Seeing this, Jeremy smiled with a teasing look. Not only did he not let go, but he also held her even tighter.
“Taking points off me? What kind of points? If I get a perfect score, does that mean I get a title too?” he asked.
His deep, magnetic voice whispered in her ear, and she could smell his unique scent. Amelia’s ears turned red.
She felt both shy and annoyed, but she couldn’t do anything about him.
She could only glare at him and pretend to be angry.
“Let go now. And stop talking nonsense!”
But her fake angry face only made her look even cuter to Jeremy. He really wanted to kiss her.
Still, he held back.
Being able to hug her like this was already a big reward.
After all, even the sweetest cat will scratch if you corner it.
Finally, he reluctantly let her go.
But he still couldn’t help himself.
He reached out and gently pinched her soft cheek again.
It didn’t even look chubby, and her face wasn’t round at all. So why did it feel so good to touch?
He was almost getting addicted to it.
The two of them soon arrived at the Curran Group. They said they were there to talk about projects and partnerships, but really, Jeremy just wanted to spoil her and feed her well.
After Amelia entered his office, she was treated like the most important guest.
