My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)

Matt didn't expect newcomers to be among his assistants. Andrew was sitting down quietly, minding his own business among them. He was the only one who didn't look up when Matt entered the room. "Oh Mr. Wilson, you must have a lot of time to be here and watch me do business," Matt said nonchalantly and sat opposite Amy. Both parties involved in the business negotiation sat on opposite sides of the table. Each of them had a copy of a document in their hands. The assistants were watching nervously from the sides.

Andrew acted as if he heard nothing and kept his head low, not looking at Matt.

"Today, we are discussing the collaboration with Wilson Group on the hotel's operations. Let's look at the documents first and see what needs to be modified." Amy hosted the meeting. Soon, only the sounds of pages turning could be heard. The meeting room was silent, so silent to the point where it seemed like the wind was blowing over the pages with no one around.

Ten minutes later, Amy spoke again. Both companies were now as established as the other, and with the aim of gaining mutual benefit, it was easy to come to a decision that everyone was happy with. After just about two hours into the meeting, the contract was already signed and legally binding.

"Amy, I hope we can collaborate more in the future." Matt extended his hand. He wanted to shake hands with Amy.

"Mr. Matt Wilson, I'm sure we'll work together for more projects next time. We hope to learn from you too." Amy cleverly rejected Matt's invitation to shake hands.

Matt could only retract his hands in embarrassment, "Do you have time tonight? I'd like to take you out to dinner and discuss the specifics of this cooperation in depth." Matt invited Amy for dinner. "We can talk about this tomorrow. Tonight isn't a good time for me. Plus, you're too generous, Mr. Matt Wilson. You don't need to treat me to dinner, and we can just discuss the details in your office." Amy displayed a charming smile on her face.

"Sure then. Amy, you need to take care of yourself too. Richard is already in a dire situation. You can't collapse now." Regardless of how unhappy Matt was, he still gave Amy an affectionate smile. "Yeah, thank you for your concern, Mr. Matt Wilson. I need to head back to prepare for our cooperation. Let's get back to work now, and we'll see each other in a few days again." In the next meeting, they would be talking more about the synergy of the cooperation and hence, Amy let Matt leave first. She still had work to do.

"Well, then I'll be leaving first. Amy, you must stay well. I'll be sad if you collapse." Before Matt left, he left such a sentence behind. It gave Amy goosebumps all over her body. "How shameless," Amy said while looking at Matt's leaving figure.

Matt was so smug with his status, but it was the truth that he was in good luck to have inherited such a huge sum of wealth. It was no surprise for him to be such a snob.

"Exactly! Do you want me to get people to give him a good beating?" Lucy and Finnley were standing behind Amy.

"Forget it. There's no point wasting our time on him. It's not worth it." Amy dragged the pair away.

"Come on. My mother-in-law made a few new kinds of tea for me. I'll give a box to each of you. It's my treasured collection that can't be bought with money." Then, the three ladies went back to Amy's office happily.

The meeting went smoothly today. Matt was satisfied with all her plans, so regardless of his motive, it was a success for the company. She wasn't at a disadvantage anyway.

Upon returning home, Amy started humming. She was in a good mood today, and everything she saw seemed to be more beautiful than how they usually looked.

But the house was silent with no one at home at all!

"Cathy! Robin! Allen! Where are you guys?" Amy looked down at her phone. There weren't any missed calls on it.

After looking around the house, Amy still found no signs of Cathy and Robin. When she went out to the garden to ask the gardener, they had no answers for her question too.

Amy wandered around for a moment. She still had no idea where everyone was. Anxiety hit her, and she dashed up to her room on the second floor, wanting to take a look at Richard. She opened the door and welcomed her was the sight of the room which was in a mess while Richard was nowhere to be seen.

Amy called Cathy in a hurry, but it wasn't answered. Then, she tried to call Robin, but the sound of his ringtone came from the living room. How busy must he be to have forgotten his phone? This got Amy's pretty brows scrunching tightly together. Where did everyone at home go? Why didn't they tell the other servants at home? Could it be that something has happened to Richard? With no choice left, Amy called Andy who was far away abroad. She needed his help to ask if her family members were in the hospital which his family owned.

Andy made a call to the hospital to confirm her doubts. Turned out they were there. After hearing from Andy that Richard and the others were at the hospital, Amy hung up the call and left the house, speeding on the roads to the destination.

"Although Mr. Carter is conscious now, but his head had been severely hit, so it caused some serious damage to his brain tissues. His IQ might be affected to a certain degree." The doctor explained to Cathy. Richard sat silently on the chair and listened to the doctor attentively, but he couldn't understand anything.

"Richard, are you thirsty?" After Cathy finished listening to what the doctor had to say, she took out a bottle of water.

"No, I'm not thirsty." Richard shook his head.

Cathy put the water bottle back, but then Richard wanted her to buy him some other drinks.

"I want that. Buy it for me." Richard pointed to the yogurt drink in a kid's hands. He wanted that.

"Robin, buy it for him. Allen, tell daddy that he should eat less of those kinds of food. It's for kids." Cathy got Robin to buy the drink, not forgetting to tell Allen what to say to Richard.

"Okay, I'll tell him whenever I have time, but why can't daddy drink that? I think it's delicious." Although Allen promised Cathy, he couldn't understand why he had to do that.

"Allen, no one will laugh at you if you drink that because you're a kid. But if your daddy drinks that in front of others, don't you think it's inappropriate?" Cathy squatted down and explained to Allen.

"Mummy, why did all of you come to the hospital? How's Richard?" Amy hurried into the ward. When she saw Richard sitting on the chair, she was stunned.000
