Chapter 235


    Felicia immediately shook her head. “Why would I? I know this is just a contract, and I will get the extra


    allowance from our deal to buy more bags.”


    She suddenly came to realize that a man like Patrick would only ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend


    because he needed to deceive his family members.


    Knowing he was not a man ofmitment, she figured she should make him think she was in this for


    money instead of attempting to win his heart.


    If he eliminated his ominous feeling toward her, he would likely let her continue to be his fake girlfriend.


    Being his girlfriend was enough for her to boast around.


    There would be plenty of benefits thate along with that title. Her family would also see her in a new


    light.


    Patrick smiled faintly at her and took out a check before writing ten million on it. Then, he asked, “Is this


    enough?”


    Felicia took over the check and pretended to be ecstatic. “Yes, it is. Thanks!”


    In fact, money was not that important to her. The Ashton family was not short of cash either.


    However, she had to make it seem like she was short of money, which was why she acted so excited in


    front of him.


    After saying that, she got up and was about to leave, but she was suddenly reminded of something


    else. “Patrick, will we still get to work together in the future?”


    Patrick stared at Felicia. Although Gwendolyn did not like her, Felicia was still kind of useful to him right


    now.


    After all, Hector was not in excellent health, and Patrick needed Felicia to help himplete this act.


    “Of course. The contract is a year, and I''m yet to terminate the contract.”


    He could not agree to proceed with an engagement with her, but he could still let her be his fake


    girlfriend to deceive Hector.


    Felicia smiled. “All right. Patrick, I look forward to working with you!” She waved at him and added, “I


    have to go now. There''s a new baging in today, and I have to get it.”


    She hurriedly left the office, making it seem like she was rushing to get her hands on the new bag.


    As Patrick watched her leave, his expression suddenly turned cold.


    He took his phone and texted someone: Keep an eye on Felicia and tell me where she is going.


    Arriving downstairs, Felicia got out of the elevator and saw two elegant-lookingdies seated on the


    couch. They were wearing the trendiest coats of the season.


    Both were scrolling through Twitter on their phones, and they only raised their heads when they heard


    Felicia''s high heels clicking on the floor.


    “Fel, did he give you an exnation?”


    Felicia waved the check to them and said, “Patrick told me he doesn''t feel like being tied down by


    marriage, but he did tell me his love for me is genuine. So he gave me this ten million check to make it


    up to me.”


    Adeline took over the check and saw Patrick''s signature on it.


    Denise also took over the check and eximed, “Wow! It must feel amazing to have such a great


    boyfriend! This is ten million! I wish I could find someone like him.”


    Felicia snatched over the check and stuffed it inside her purse. “He is mine, so the both of you can


    dream about having him as your boyfriend.”


    She smiled smugly at the two women who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, yet reality


    pped them hard across their faces.

    With these two gossipydies finding out about this, Felicia knew the news would soon spread


    throughout the socialites'' circle in Avenport. None of the socialites would dare act against her, and they


    would get even more envious of her.


    “Let''s go. I want to get myself a new bag.”


    She walked toward the exit while swaying her hips. Last night was humiliating for her, but she swore


    she would use her own methods to make Patrick trust her.


    Gaining his trust would give her ess to get closer to him. She believed there would be one day


    when she would sessfully conquer his heart.


    Gwendolyn took a cup of coffee and served it to his office. “Mr. Lowen, did you two have a fight?”


    She knew Felicia too well to know thetter must be infuriated byst night''s incident. Since Felicia was


    in his office earlier, she guessed they must have fought.


    Patrick narrowed his eyes at her, scrutinizing her with a probing gaze. “Do you wish to see us fight?”


    Of course, Gwendolyn would hope to see them fight. It would be even better if they fought so much that


    they broke up and cut all ties with each other.


    However, she knew she could not be that honest, so she said, “No. I''m just curious.”
