I, who had been overwhelmingly drunk, saw the tallest as well as the most conspicuous man among the crowd at a glance. It was Patrick Cowell. He was here as well... Soon, I heard Lisa, who was next to me, say, "F**k. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together." After careful observation, I found that the cynical playboy, Roger Lance, who had wanted to give Lisa his business card just now, was standing next to Patrick. Some other people were next to them. However, these people seemed to be surrounding Patrick and Roger. While being surrounded by so many people, Patrick and Roger, naturally couldn't see us. Seth put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Stop looking at them. Let's go." After that, Seth called a designated driver to send me and Lisa back to my house. As soon as I got in the car, the car started. And I felt a little dizzy. In order not to throw up in the car, I slept with my eyes closed. I slept
This question made me nervous. I looked at Seth, fearing that he would mention me. Seth, who knew me so well, naturally knew what I was thinking about. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm not married. Nor do I have a girlfriend." As soon as he finished his words, the designers were all excultant! Everyone was whispering. Some people even booed, "Vice President Hyde, I don't have a boyfriend either." "Don't snap. I don't have one either!" "Me too. Me too!" When everyone was arguing, Seth said again, "But I like someone. Didn't everyone ask me why I came to this company before? Because the girl I like is here. I'm falling for her!" Everyone on the scene burst into an uproar! All the designers were looking around. Someone asked, "Who is it?" ...... "I think you will know it soon." Seth kept staring in my direction, "I didn't have the courage to confess my feelings to her in the past. So I missed a chance. B
Patrick's words scared me! He said that he would like to lock me up. He would lock me up somewhere that nobody else could find. These words reminded me of the incident happening in prison and the kidnapping. I struggled desperately and shouted, "Help! Help! Help!" I looked at Shelton's room. Although I knew that he was rarely at home, there was a glimmer of hope in my heart! However, after I shouted for a long time, nobdy opened the door at all. Patrick also realized that Shelton wasn't at home. He seemed to figure out something and held me in his arms. Then he said, "Follow me. Stay with me. And don't go anywhere." "No! You're crazy!" "I didn't. I can give you everything you want, such as clothes, houses, gems, and cosmetic products. Whatever you want, I'll buy them for you. All you need to do is to stay by my side!" As Patrick spoke, he reached out and pressed the button of the elevator door behind him. I struggl
I heard Patrick pressing the elevator button again. And soon the elevator came. He entered it. After the elevator left for a while, I was sure that Patrick had left. Then I turned around and apologized to Shelton behind me, "Shelton, I'm sorry. He vented his anger on you because of me." "I'm fine." Shelton said. I looked up at him. Shelton looked at me through the transparent lens with his gentle eyes. He seemed to see the tears in the corner of my eyes. And his voice softened as he said, "Patrick probably cares about you so much. That is the reason why he lost his composure. At least, over the years I have been in the Cowell Family, I have never seen him treat anyone like this." "He doesn't care about me at all." I shook my head with a wry smile, "Living in the Cowell Family, whatever he wants, he can always have his way ever since his childhood, right? no one will say no to him. And no one will disobey him." "It's not just him. Everyone
I hesitated for a moment and didn't stop Seth. We arrived at the venue where the annual conference was going on. This venue was one of the best hotels in City Y. If a company could hold its annual conference here, it indicated that this company was financially powerful. However, our company only booked a small banquet hall. At first, I was worried that my outfit would be too exaggerating. But after I went in, I found that everyone was wearing beautiful dresses with exquisite makeup. Only then was I relieved. A waiter came over to take the coat for me. I hesitated for a moment and took off the coat. Seth was the Vice President. As soon as he came in, he was called away by Wendy. He asked me to go with him. But I refused. After all, all the executives were by Wendy's side. As a young designer, I surely would make them dissatisfied if I joined in the fun with them. Holding a bit of fruit and pastries, I found a seat in the corner and s
Only then did I realize that I didn't smell any alcohol when I was so close to him. He was sober. I dared not make a random guess. So I looked at him and said, "Brother-in-law, then don't talk nonsense. The one you love is Caroline Archer. Never will you love me in your life. You said it by yourself." ...... Hearing what I said, Patrick was a little absent-minded. He looked at me with a more profound look in his black eyes, "Yes, I used to think so. But I was wrong." "Mr. Cowell, as I said, Caroline and I can't co-exist. If she is in prison, I will go back to your side." I looked at Patrick with a firm look in my eyes. At that moment, I saw the hesitation in Patrick's eyes. I sneered, "Mr. Cowell, I was innocent when I was in prison. But she deserved to be in prison. But when I was in prison, you stood by and did nothing. And you can't bear to see her being imprisoned. Don't you already have an answer in your heart?" "No.
Originally, I thought I would have to spend that night alone. Although I was somewhat lonely, the things in the suitcase that Seth had prepared for me moved me a lot. At about six o'clock in the evening, Seth came again. Before I could ask him why he was here, he reached out to hold my hand and said gently, "How can I let you stay at home on New Year's Eve?" As he said this, he pulled me and walked out. I was scared out of my wits as I said, "Are you going to take me to see your parents?" "No, no. I just said that I would take a friend home to have dinner together." As Seth said, he forced me out. I was almost dragged into the car by him. After we got in the car, I wanted to leave. But he didn't agree and started the car by force. I was a little unhappy. After we arrived at the downstairs of his family's house, I insisted on leaving. However, Seth looked at me with a pitiful expression, "I have told my parents that you will be
Looking into Seth's eyes, I couldn't help blushing. I spent the whole new year in the town. In the past few days, Seth had been very concerned about me. And his parents were also very kind to me. For the first time, I felt the warmth of a family and the concern from the seniors. This kind of warmth was different from what I got from Jeremy and Gina as well as a few perfunctory words I got from them after trying my best to please them. I could feel that Seth's parents were both good people. And they might like me because of Seth. Although Seth and I weren't in an official relationship, it would be just a matter of time before we become a couple. As long as one of us said it, we would become a couple. I thought that I probably would become his official girlfriend once a turning point came. The New Year holiday was over. By the time I arrived at the company, many colleagues had been there. Everyone was talking about the New Year
