Patrick's POV

Susan started acting distant towards me after the stunt Alex pulled at the sports day. She couldn't ask me about my choices or my private life, so she chose to be formal towards me.

I thought we had moved past this formality, especially after bonding at the noodle soup shop. Unfortunately, Alex had burned that bridge for me.

I called Susan to discuss my weekend plans with her.

"Hello, Patrick," she greeted me on the phone.

"Hi, Suzy. How are you?"

"I have told you not to call me Suzy, Patrick," She complained for the upteenth time which I simply ignored.

Isabella swung open the door to the guest room without warning.With a speed of light, I broke the kiss and pushed Patrick away with a force that caused him to fall on the bed."What do you need, Sweetie?" I asked, trying to organize my thoughts and pretend that nothing happened.She complained, "My skirt," and pointed to the one she had on.Suddenly, I remembered I had promised to help her change into a short she preferred, but I wanted to give Patrick his clothes first."Oh, right. I will be with you in a bit," I assured her, and she walked away.Feeling awkward and avoiding eye contact with Patrick, I finally gathered the courage to look at him. He was smirking and obviously enjoying the look of embarrassment on my face."I ho

Please call him again," I insisted."Ms. Alex, Mr. Patrick is busy at the moment. If you want to see him, you will need to schedule an appointment," Trisha replied."Seriously? Since when do I have to make an appointment to see Patrick? What's going on?" I asked, feeling frustrated.Trisha didn't respond, and I felt insulted. Had things become this formal between us? Had Patrick forgotten that I helped him get his CEO position a few months ago?Without waiting any longer, I headed to Patrick's office, determined to speak with him."Ms. Alex, you can't go in!
