Chapter 49


    Patricia nodded in response. “In that case, I’ll go and ask for the money tomorrow. The sooner Poppy


    can get her surgery, the better.”


    Darcie seemed to have brightened up, and she looked like she had much more of an appetite now.


    At that, Patricia nced at Poppy. The little one still couldn’t eat much, returning to her Barbie doll after


    taking a couple of bites.


    The doll was a present from Sylvie, and the two girls loved these toys. Hence, Sylvie would always


    think of getting one for Poppy whenever she bought one for herself.


    Seeing how much Poppy was enjoying the toy, Patricia thought perhaps this was the little girl’s


    happiest moment, making her forget about her illness.


    The woman stayed until the mother and daughter finished their meal. Just then, the caretaker arrived


    just in time for Darcie to head to work in Everbright.


    With that, Patricia and Darcie left the hospital, whereby the former dropped thetter off at Everbright’s


    entrance.


    Before Darcie exited the car, Patricia asked, “Darcie, do you think it’s still possible if Ie back here


    and work as a dancer?”


    She returned to perform a show the other night and thought the response was rather well; everyone


    was happy to see her.


    As much as she didn’t like the ce, she thought she could still return to Everbright as a dancer to


    survive.


    Darcie fell silent for a moment before turning to Patricia with a grave face. “Tricia, since you’ve already


    left, don’te back anymore.”


    Everbright was a hellhole, and anyone who could leave the ce shouldn’t return.


    Patricia nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I won’te back then. Meanwhile, you should find a


    different job once Poppy is cured.”


    Darcie smiled in response. “Yeah, we’ll be able to do whatever we want by then.”


    It wasn’t until Darcie went into Everbright that Patricia drove away.


    However, her phone rang just then, and she fished for it while keeping her eyes on the road. “Hello?”


    She hadn’t had a chance to see who the caller was.

    “Come and pick me up, Patricia. I’m at Spago.” It was Isaac, and he seemed to have taken some liquor.


    “President Arnold, isn’t today my day off?”


    “I’ll triple your pay.”


    “Alright, please wait for me for a while. I’ll be right there.”


    She was close to Spago, so after hanging up, she made a sharp U-turn, leading the other oing


    drivers to cuss at her. “Do you know how to f*cking drive?!”


    However, Patricia pretended not to have heard it. After all, the more important thing was getting her pay


    tripled. Oh, she was in seventh heaven!


    In fact, she practically hummed throughout the entire drive. “Yeah, I’m going to take my horse to the old


    town road, I’m going to ride ’til I can’t anymore…”


    Ten minutester, Patricia arrived at Spago. “President Arnold, I’ve arrived. You cane out now!”


    Patricia called Isaac after parking by the entrance.


    Isaac smirked upon hearing the young woman’s chirpy voice. There was a hint of a smile beneath his


    eyes as well. “That’s fast of you.”


    s, the power of triple pay. He had to say that he was impressed with how she could arrive in just ten


    minutes.


    Nik and Percy were ying hand games when they saw Isaac, who only had one sip of liquor,


    suddenly get up.


    “You guys enjoy yourselves. I’m going home. I’ve had one too many.”


    Excuse you?! Okay, we let you off the hook when you said your gastric was acting up after taking a sip


    of liquor, but you’re telling us that you’re drunk now? After one sip?!


    “Isaac, you piece of sh*t. What ever happened to bros before h*es?!” Nik snapped.


    However, Isaac wasn’t bothered. There was even a smirk on his face. “Well, you’ve got one thing right.


    Indeed, a woman is here to pick me up. Feel free to enjoy yourselves since you don’t have any women


    to pick you guys up.”


    Percy and Nik were rendered gobsmacked. Is this b*stard bragging right now?


    Thus, the two stood up as well after exchanging nces.


    “We can’t drive since we’ve had liquor as well. I’m sure you don’t mind giving us a lift.”


    With one arm around Percy’s shoulder, Nik opened the door to the back seat of the Volvo parked by


    the entrance. “Hi, Miss Aniston. We meet again,” Nik greeted after entering the car.


    Patricia turned around and looked at the guys in response. Goodness, they reek of alcohol.


    Nheless, these two guys sure are good-looking. Hubba hubba!


    “Hi!” However, had she ever met them before?
