As Angie heard my words, the look on her face turned livid. The on-lookers were looking at us with great interest. Angie was so angry that she didn't respond for a long time. After that, she turned around and left. In fact, I regretted it as soon as I said that. That was because Angie was indeed capable. The reason why she accepted a lower salary and worked in Seth's company was that she had feelings for Seth. What if she resigned because of my words... Throughout the afternoon, I helped Tyler while wondering if I should apologize to Angie. Two hours had passed after the time for getting off work. I finally finished the work assigned by Tyler. But my clothes were so dirty that I couldn't wear them. I tidied up my clothes and walked to the direction of the bathroom. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the bathroom, I was directly pulled by Tyler who had jumped out of the men's room. Then he pulled me into the men's room. I screa
I was overwhelmed by Tyler just now. And my waist hurt. It took me a lot of effort to get up now. I got up. Through the mirror in front of me, I could see Patrick standing outside a compartment. Although I saw him at the entrance of the hotel last time, I didn't see his face. It was the first time that I looked at him in his face ever since I was released from the prison. He was wearing a black suit, who was almost the same as he had been more than a year ago. But what about me? I saw my face through the mirror. My hair, which was soaked wet by the water, clung to my face. Most of my makeup was ruined. And my clothes were covered with dust that I had got while working in the construction site. I thought that we would meet again. But I didn't expect that I would run into him again when I was in such a bad situation. Patrick looked at me in the mirror as he curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Charlotte Archer, I have
As soon as I moved, I heard Patrick say behind me, "You don't have to go." Then he said to the person in charge, "Go and get a new design company." "Why?" I didn't expect Patrick to say that all of a sudden. Although I didn't know what made him change his mind, I was sure that all of these had something to do with me. He hated me. So he vented his anger on this project. Patrick stood up and took out a cigarette box as well as a cigarette from the pocket inside his suit. He ignited it. Taking a sip, he said slowly, "For a company that doesn't investigate whether a new employee is keeping the past as a secret before hiring one, I can justifiably suspect the professionalism of this company." "I didn't hide anything!" Sure enough, it was me who he was targeting. "Then the company hired you is even less professional. Unexpectedly, they hired a woman who deliberately hurt others, killed another woman's child, and had been prisoned..
The next day, I woke up amid the aroma of the porridge. Actually, I hadn't eaten anything for almost 24 hours. And I felt that my throat was dry and thirsty. I looked at the surrounding layout, which indicated clearly that I was in a single man's house. I already guessed where I was. I wanted to get up. But I felt dizzy as soon as I got up! So I fell back onto the bed again. Right at this moment, the door of my room opened. And Seth stood at the door, holding a small plate with a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes on it. Seeing me get up, he immediately put the things in his hand on the bedside table and held me, "You are suffering from a serious fever. Where are you going?" Then he pressed me on the bed and handed me the porridge. I wanted to take it over. But he stopped me, "The porridge is hot. I'll help you take it." I was a little embarrassed, intending to finish the porridge quickly. But the porridge was h
As soon as he finished his words, his statements made the colleagues around me lament instantly. "Don't talk nonsense!" Immediately, I was in a panic. Moreover, I didn't understand why a person like Patrick Cowell would condescend to come to a small company like ours. When I was at a loss, I felt that my shoulders were warm. Then, I heard Seth say, "It's me who chased Charlotte. Didn't we have a deal about that project? Mr. Cowell, did you come here for other things today?" With a simple statement, he covered up the whole story. Moreover, he said so in front of all the colleagues of mine. If I don't resist, did it mean that I have acquiesced to the relationship between me and him? But if I did, Seth certainly would be embarrassed. Just as I was in a dilemma, I saw Patrick walking up to me and saying, "I'm here to find my wife." "Buzz!" His words blew my mind up! The colleagues around us all began to whisper!
Although Seth was changing the subject, regarding what he said, I indeed had to face it as well. ...... After all, he had confessed to me in front of many colleagues of mine today. I did have to make the relationship between the two of us clear. However... "I'm sorry." I, who had been pondering on it for a whole day, could only say so in the end. As soon as I finished my words, Seth pressed his index finger against my lips, "Shh. I know what you are worried about. As long as you stand behind me, never should you be afraid. I surely will protect myself. Only in this way can I protect you." His answer put me in a momentary trance. "But..." As I wanted to remind him that Patrick wouldn't let us go just like that, Seth said first, "You won't get me into trouble." I had to admit that Seth did have touched me. I was not sure this counted as a confirmed relationship. But after that, I would spend 2 days weekly having meal
I was stunned. At this time, my cell phone rang. I lowered my head and looked at the caller ID, which was Seth Hyde. I glimpsed at the time and found that it was noon now. Usually, if Seth was in the company, he would ask me to have lunch at this time. I looked up at Patrick. Thinking of the orphanage just now, I didn't know how to answer Seth's call for a moment. So I muted it. Patrick did not say anything else. Only after Seth stopped calling me did I ask, "What do you want to do?" "Nothing. It is just that Grandpa misses you," Patrick said flatly. I didn't believe his words at all. I argued, "How could it be? Didn't you tell him that I killed Caroline's child and you wanted to divorce me?" Patrick loved Caroline so much. And he was certain that she was framed by me. He surely would have taken advantage of such a good opportunity. I wasn't convinced by his words. However, Patrick tilted his head and looked at me
That afternoon, Patrick took me to a fashion studio, chose a set of evening dresses for me, and matched it with a short cloak. I put on makeup and did the styling there. When everything was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought of my future life. I felt helpless. Moreover, I felt sad as well as despicable. That evening, I continued to put on a show with Patrick at Ned's house. We were pretending to be a loving couple. At the banquet, Ned urged us over and over again, saying that we should bear him a fat grandson. I agreed with a faint smile. But I knew that this kind of thing would never happen. After we came out of the Cowell Family house, I was about to get in the car. However, the tassel of the small cloak was hooked onto the covered button of Patrick's belt. I wore a low-cut evening dress inside. So I hadn't ever taken off the cloak over the banquet that night. But, at this time, the tassel was hoo
