Chapter 129


    For the next few days, Patricia went to work on time and tagged along Isaac to visit each subsidiary


    company.


    Today, they were visiting Westfield Mall in Appleby. This mall belonged to Arnolds Corporation and it


    was an international chain.


    Since Christmas was nearing, the local malls were busy organizing events to bring in the crowd. Thus,


    one of the malls in Appleby invited Isaac to participate and give a speech.


    Patricia nced at Isaac’s dashing look on stage and reckoned that he was calm andposed


    despite speaking in front of therge crowd with multiple cameras. The atmosphere was lively with girls


    screaming loudly off-stage. Patricia, who was standing backstage, experienced for the first time how it


    was like to be around a superstar.


    Suddenly, a woman inched closer to Patricia and studied her intently.


    “Patricia, is that you?”


    Patricia nced at the woman dressed in a dark suit with bob hair and thought that the woman looked


    smart.


    “You’re…”


    Selina revealed a smile. “Patricia, I am your high school ssmate, Selina Patterson! We haven’t seen


    each other for six years now, but I can’t believe that you look exactly the same as before. You’re as


    beautiful as always!”


    Finally, Patricia recalled who it was. “Selina, it’s you!”


    It was difficult to recognize her at first nce as Selina used to be the top student in ss with long hair


    and a pair of ck-rimmed sses.


    Selina nodded. “Do you hold the position of President Arnold’s secretary now?”

    As she spoke, there was a sh of envy in her eyes and she recalled that Patricia used to be average


    in her studies. However, she came from a good family, so that must be why she found herself such a


    great job.


    “Yes. Selina, are you working at Westfield Mall? This is such a coincidence. We’re actually working for


    the samepany.”


    Although Patricia worked at the mainpany while Selina worked for the subsidiarypany, they


    were essentially working for the same establishment.


    Selina nodded. “Patricia, let’s exchange phone numbers. There’s a ss gathering this week and you


    shoulde along too. In all the past gatherings, you were the only one absent. We will finally have full


    attendance this year!”


    Patricia saved Selina’s number and connected to her through WhatsApp. As soon as she heard about


    the gathering, she felt a sense of resistance. After all, she used to be judged by everyone for her past


    and she would want to avoid thating from her former ssmates.


    “Patricia, promise me that you’ll attend the gathering.” Selina nced at the time.


    Patricia responded, “Sure.”


    At that point, Isaac had finished his speech and it was time for the opening ceremony. He came off the


    stage and she quickly poured him some hot coffee from a thermos sk before handing it to him.


    “President Arnold, it’s very cold today. Have a drink to warm yourself up.”


    As the event today was held outdoors, the chilly weather was starting to get gloomy and it looked like it


    was about to snow soon.


    Patricia’s tiny face and nose were red from the cold. As she handed the drink to him, her hands felt icy


    cold as well.


    At that, Isaac took off the jacket he had on and ced it over her shoulders. Subsequently, he grabbed


    the cup from her and took a sip from it.


    “I was quite nervous during the speech, so I felt warm instead. Help me hold on to my jacket.”


    Patricia had initially wanted to return the jacket to him while iming she did not need it. However, she


    was surprised to hear that he was feeling warm, so she was happy to benefit from it. With a smile, she


    wrapped herself tightly in his jacket and she could feel his toasty body warmth on it.


    Isaac turned to Liam next to him and said, “Let’s head back to thepany.”


    Seeing how she was shivering from the cold, Isaac regretted bringing her along to today’s ceremony.


    After all, there were tons of heaters at thepany and it would be morefortable for her there.


    Patricia hurriedly collected her belongings and ran after him. After entering the ck Bentley, she was


    instantly reinvigorated after warming herself from the heat in the car.


    At that moment, she felt a vibration from her phone and it was a text message from Selina. ‘Patricia,


    the gathering on Saturday will be at Serene Hot Springs, so make sure youe on time!’
