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
"No." I felt that Seth was a little strange today. So I could only comfort him first, "I need to think it over first. Please give me some time." Seth over the phone was silent again. After a long time, Seth said, "Okay." After that, he hung up the phone. At that time, I didn't understand why Seth was like this. But in just three days, I figured it out. Because three days later, the company where we were would have a new boss. And the new president would take office. I didn't see the mysterious boss that day. But there were all sorts of rumors about him in the office. Some said that he was an old man. While others said that he was a handsome youth. At noon, when I went to dinner, I saw some people from a furniture company carrying some furniture inside. The furniture delivered by them was very luxurious, including a leather sofa and a huge mahogany desk. Seeing these, I couldn't help but think of a person... But soon, I d
Hearing my answer, Seth spread his arms and held me in his arms, saying, "Great." I heard his laughter. He was lauhing as if he were a child. I inexplicably felt a little relaxed. It seemed that I would have a sense of security with him by my side. Although I knew very well that I didn't love Seth, I was at ease while being with him. I thought that in that case, it would suffice for me. I loved Patrick. But I was always worried that I would lose him, which I thought wouldn't be good. Seth sent me home first. After I changed my clothes, he proposed to go out for dinner. Thinking that there were some dishes in the refrigerator, I said to him, "Let's eat at home. I'll cook some for you." "Really?" Seth looked at me, looking somewhat incredulous. "Of course. Don't worry. I'm good at cooking. I won't poison you to death," I said with a smile. "As long as the dishes are cooked by you, even if they're poison, I will taste them with p
I didn't know when Patrick had left. But, that day, I had been sitting at the door for a long time. Until I fell asleep without realizing it. Early the next morning, I woke up at the entrance. The first thing I did was to open the door. But nothing was outside. Although a night had passed, I could still faintly smell the smell of alcohol. It seemed that Patrick indeed had got drunken yesterday. Back in the room, I wanted to call Seth, only to find a text on my mobile phone. It was from Patrick Cowell. The text read, "I'll let you go this time. Don't let me see you again!" As I read this message, my heart ached slightly. After hesitating for a moment, I called Seth. Originally, I planned to tell him about what Patrick had said yesterday, including that he had known everything. But for a long time, nobody picked up my call. By the time he got back to me, it was already in the afternoon. Over the phone, I could
