At this moment, I came to my senses. All the delusions dissolved because of this small pill. I lowered my eyes and suppressed the bitterness in my heart. Pretending to be nonchalant, I picked up the pill as well as the glass of water. I wanted to drink the water down quickly. But my hands holding the cup were shaking non-stop. I had no choice but to put the pill into my mouth. Then I held the cup with both hands and drank it down. To my relief, Patrick didn't turn on the light during the whole process. In that case, he surely wouldn't see my helplessness and sadness. After taking the pill and calming myself down, I pretended to say in an indifferent and alienated voice, "I've taken the pill. Don't worry, Mr. Cowell. I won't be pregnant with your child. Can you leave now?" However, Patrick did not leave. He was standing beside me. I thought he was afraid that I would be fooling him without taking the pill. To prove that I
In fact, I could relate to the client. After all, a person had died in his new house. And it was true that he couldn't go on living there. The house was a villa with a market price of millions of dollars. For a small-sized company like Seth's company, which had just been operating for a few years, it simply couldn't afford it at all. If there was a lawsuit, it would be more difficult for Glorious Seth Design to establish a foothold in the industry. And at that time, it would be on the verge of closing down. Hearing Angie's words, I couldn't be more guilty. Anyway, Ronald Weil's matter started everything. Angie got her coffee and went to the construction site. I took a car alone to Glorious Seth Design's office. When I went into the office, I found that nobody was at the front desk. In the office where I used to stay, nobody was seen except for some computers in several compartments. It seemed that the designers who had worked there before
"But Seth... He is in great danger now!" I didn't even have time to think about how Patrick was feeling right now. I wanted to get rid of him and go after Seth. However, Patrick tightly hugged my waist with his wrists. The next second, I heard him say word by word, "I'm jealous." At that moment, I was stunned. "Mr. Cowell, what did you say?" "I say, I'm jealous." Patrick repeated once again, "You're my wife. I can't tolerate that you pay attention to another man and treat me as a nobody when I am by your side." If it were at other times, I might be moved and fluttered upon knowing that Patrick was jealous because of me. But now, I simply didn't think so. I pushed him away with all my strength, raised my head, and looked at him with an absurd expression. Then I said, "Mr. Cowell, the way you see it, why Seth's company has become like this? Is it because of his incompetence? Or is it because of his poor vision? Neither of them!" I loo
Shelton and I had just met each other for a few times. However rich he was, I surely couldn't take fifty million dollars from him for free! And I didn't know who he really was. If I got the money from him, it was unknown what would happen next. However, Shelton didn't intend to take the check back. Moreover, he seemed to have seen through my mind as he said, "I don't have any ultimate motive for you. And I won't let you do anything for me because of this matter. In my eyes, this money is petty. As your neighbor, I am just giving you a hand." ...... Shelton added, "There's no interest. You can pay it back to me slowly." Shelton added. In fact, accepting Shelton's money would be the best solution. After all, there was a deadline to repay a mortgage loan from the bank. If Seth couldn't repay, my house would be taken away. And Rosy surely would blame me at that time. However, I believed that if Seth got the money, he surely could make a
Ever since what happened last time, I seemed to have been granted some privilege in Towering High Group. This time, as soon as I arrived at the front desk, the staff there greeted me respectfully, "Mrs. President." Then she opened the door for me. In fact, I felt unworthy of this address. But I accepted it. I took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as I entered the corridor, I saw Patrick's assistant, Wilson, standing in the corner and making a phone call. It seemed that he didn't hear me coming. Although I was angry, I knew I was in the Towering High Group, where I couldn't barge in randomly. Out of courtesy, I stood on the side, planning to tell Wilson that I was looking for Patrick after Wilson finished his call. I waited aside and heard that Wilson lowered his voice and said while holding the cell phone, "It's true that Mr. Cowell isn't here." I wasn't deliberately eavesdropping on Wilson. It was just that it was so quiet i
I stood aside, acting like I was enjoying a good show. But Seth pointed to me and said, "My girlfriend is watching us there." The girl turned around and blushed when she saw me. Then she apologized to me, "I'm sorry." After that, she went back to her seat. Originally, a few colleagues of mine were also staring at Seth. When they heard Seth's words, they immediately turned to me and said, "Wow! Charlotte, why didn't you tell us earlier that you have such a handsome boyfriend?" "Yeah. Could it be that you are afraid that we will seduce your boyfriend?" "Don't blame her. If my boyfriend is so handsome, I will hide him from you as well so that he won't be targeted by you, who are so horny!" Most of the employees in the cafe were college students, who were young. I got along well with them. So after Seth said so, everyone just joked with me. "No. He..." "Charlotte, what would you like to have for dinner?" When I subconsciousl
He threatened me like this again! He threatened me with the orphanage previously. And now it was Glorious Seth Design. "Mr. Cowell, you're high and mighty. I won't be surprised at all even if you've killed Seth, let alone destroy Glorious Seth Design." After that, I picked up the pink leopard doll, which I was about to put down, and carried it in my arms as I walked into the guest bedroom. Patrick caught up with me and grabbed the pink leopard doll by one of its arms. I hugged the pink leopard doll tightly. And we were in a deadlock. As soon as he exerted his strength, the arm of the pink leopard doll was broken at once! I lost my balance, fell back heavily to the ground. Patrick stepped forward and supported me, who was lying on the ground, "Are you okay?" His tone was full of concern. And his black eyes were full of worry for me. I looked at him, feeling abset-minded for a moment. He seemed to sincerely care about me.
Patrick repeated his words. I, who couldn't be more overjoyed, looked at him as I asked over and over again, "Really? Is what you said true?" I was so afraid that after Patrick gave me hope, he would disappoint me again. But this time, Patrick nodded firmly. At that moment, I didn't struggle and let him hold my hand in his big palm. And I felt that my slightly cold hand became warm little by little. The next day, I went to work. Patrick proposed to send me to work. This time, I agreed. I sat in his car. He left after dropping me off at the cafe. But some sharp-eyed colleagues saw his car and came over. Then they asked, "Charlotte, is your boyfriend so rich? How come he is driving such a good car?" I looked at Patrick's car and didn't know how to explain it for a moment. "Am I going to tell them that Patrick is my husband? They certainly won't be convinced by the fact that I, who has a rich husband, is working in a cafe." Moreo
