Chapter 403


    At this time, I was relieved in my heart.


    When I walked out of the press conference, I saw Nancy and Paulina standing outside.


    Upon seeing me, Nancy stepped forward and pushed me lightly, staring at me, "You are more


    capable, aren''t you? You dared to bypass me and turned to my husband directly, didn''t you?"


    "No, I..."


    "Do you want to argue? With your social circle, how can you hold a press conference? If you didn''t


    turn to him, no one else would help you!"


    Nancy directly interrupted me.


    Seeing that she pursed her lips, I put my hands in front of my chest, lowered her head, and closed


    my eyes tightly, apologizing, "I''m sorry! It''s true that turned to your husband for business rather than


    private affairs."


    "How would I know?"


    Nancy pouted.


    Without looking up, I continued, "It''s true, I promise. I found him in hispany and stayed there for


    less than ten minutes before I came out." "And then?"


    "And then? There is no then. I got the phone number of the one in charge of a PRpany from


    your husband. I didn''t do anything. Neither did I say extra words. I promise!"


    In fact, I know that Nancy wasn''t angry with me because of this.


    She was surely angry about the fact that I hadn''t told her about this matter, thinking that I didn''t trust


    her.


    I kept my head down.


    And it was quiet.


    Paulina, who was usually so talkative, stood on the side without saying anything.


    In this way, after a dozen seconds, I finally heard Nancy''s voice again, "If there is a next time, let''s


    break up! Do you take me as your partner?"


    Judging from Nancy''s words, she had forgiven me, hadn''t she?


    I raised my head and saw that Nancy looked unhappy. Even so, Paulina burst outughing on the


    side, "I was scared to death. I almost couldn''t hold myself back any more!"


    "I''m sorry." I hugged Nancy directly, "I didn''t want you to be worried about me. I''m d that Lawyer


    Michael and Matt came this time. Otherwise, I''m afraid that I would be ndered to a more serious


    extent. I''m afraid that I would affect you."


    "In that case, you have more reasons to tell us about it so that we can run away in advance," Nancy


    said deliberately.


    Hearing this, I looked serious and nodded, "I agree. If there is such a thing next time, I will inform


    you in advance."


    "Will there be a next time? I''ll beat you!" Nancy raised her hand and pretended to be angry, "Let me


    tell you, you have to treat us to have a seafood meal before we can get over this matter!"


    "Alright, alright. There''s no problem with treating you three times!"


    I agreed decisively.


    Nancy parked her car in the parking lot.


    We walked to the parking lot together. For no reason, I felt empty in my heart and looked around.


    Except for us, everyone else had almost left. And there was no one in therge open space.


    There was no car on the side of the road.


    I followed Nancy and looked around carefully.


    Seeing that I didn''t catch up with her, Nancy asked, "What''s wrong?"


    I shook my head.


    "Didn''t Patricke?"


    Originally, I thought he woulde.


    "Is he angry?"


    For no reason, I felt nervous, bitter, and upset in my heart, feeling that something had happened to


    Patrick!


    I looked at Nancy and said, "Well, you should go there first. I''ll go home."


    "I''ll send you home." Nancy looked at me, "What''s wrong with you?"


    "I... I... I''m going to see Patrick."


    I said to Nancy.


    Nancy frowned slightly, "Then I''ll send you off."


    Nancy sent me to Rosy''s home.


    I opened the door and went in. The house was empty. Patrick''s coat wasn''t hung at the door. And


    the slippers that he had changed were ced at the door.


    "Isn''t Patrick at home? Then where had he gone?"


    I quickly called Patrick, only to hear the beep sound all the time. About a minuteter, a reminder


    rang...


    "Hello, the number you dialed is not answered for the time being. Please call againter..."


    If it were at ordinary times, I wouldn''t care about it, thinking that Patrick was naturally having a


    meeting or something.


    However, I was particrly uneasy today.


    Nancy also followed in. Seeing me holding the cell phone, she asked, "What''s wrong? Can''t you get


    in touch with him?"


    "Yeah." With my back to her, I looked at the slippers far away from each other on the ground. It


    indicated that Patrick should have left in a hurry.


    Paulina said from behind, "Isn''t Mr. Cowell quite bust? After all, he is the boss of such a big


    company. He surely has to attend to a meeting or deal with something."


    "You didn''t tell him about the press conference, right?"


    Nancy finally realized this matter.


    I nodded.


    Nancy sighed, "Jta Nn, oh, Jta Nn. Sometimes I really don''t know whether you are


    smart or stupid. Patrick is so good to you. Why did you hide this matter from him?"


    "I..." I turned around, "I don''t want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this matter


    independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can''t always be


    protected by him, can I?" "Are you making blind and disorderly


    conjectures?"


    Nancy looked at me with a frown.


    "Am I thinking randomly?"


    I didn''t know what to say at the moment.


    Nancy took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don''t think too much. As Paulina said,


    he''s a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn''t seen the press conference


    up to now."


    I knew that what Nancy had said wouldn''t happen.


    When I left, I remembered Patrick''s expression very clearly.


    He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.


    Paulina shouted from the side, "Go to have a meal quickly. I''m so hungry."


    Without saying anything, I followed them and left.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    On the way, Paulina chose a few seafood restaurants. To make it up to Nancy and Paulina and


    indirectly thank Nancy''s husband, Jerrold Maddox, I chose one with the most expensive seafood.


    The average consumption there would be at least 1000 dors.


    Hearing the name of the seafood restaurant I chose, Paulina was so scared and so jawdropping,


    "Do you really want to go to this seafood restaurant?"


    "We should go!" Nancy spoke first, "Let''s make her broke. Then she can be motivated to work. And


    only then can she stop thinking too much."


    "Yes!" Paulina raised her hands in agreement.


    This seafood restaurant was located in the old city center of City Y, once a prosperous ce.


    It was what it used to be.


    So the road was very narrow with all singlenes.


    However, all the high- end restaurants in City Y were all here. For a restaurant located here, it was


    normal that its average consumption was at least 1000 dors. Furthermore, there were few private


    rooms inside.


    It wasn''t the weekend today. And it was at noon. That was why we dared toe here.


    The car drove in the middle of the narrow singleway street. Sitting in the co-pilot''s seat, I looked at


    the scenery along the street.


    It was sometimes warm and sometimes cold in early spring. And there were few pedestrians on the


    side of the road.


    When the car turned a corner, I saw two people standing in front of a white house.


    They were a man and a woman.


    When I looked over, the woman happened to raise her arm and hooked it around the man''s neck.


    Standing on tiptoes, she kissed him.


    Human beings were born to be curious.


    As the car drove in that direction, I couldn''t help looking at them. However, when the car passed by


    the two of them, I felt as if someone had stabbed my heart with a knife after seeing who the man


    and the woman were.


    I was in so much pain that I even forgot to breathe.
