Chapter 1228 Patricia Had A Crush On Tom (Part One)


    "Come on, have you never run away from home even once? If I had my daily essentials with me, it


    would be called a journey, not running away." Patricia shook her head in disbelief, like Leena was an


    idiot.


    "Fine! Let''s go. I wish to God I hadn''t met you." Leena sighed with profound resignation. She had no


    other choice but to grab her car key and do as she was told. After all, Patricia was her best friend.


    "Honey, I knew that you are my most favorite friend. By the way, would it be inconvenient for you if I live


    in your house?" Patricia asked with concern and held Leena''s arm.


    "Don''t you think it''s a little toote to ask that question?" Leena taunted her, rolling her eyes. "So you


    have a brain, huh?"


    The two women were both young and pretty. They turned the heads of men. One was sweet and quiet,


    while the other was sexy and feisty. Although they were opposite in character, they were best friends


    and made for a perfect match.


    "You didn''t drive here?" Leena was stunned to see Patricia open the former''s car door and sit in the


    driver''s seat. Patricia''s car was her life. Leena couldn''t imagine her running away from home without


    her beloved car. It was pretty odd!


    "Well, I don''t want anyone to know where I am. If I drove my car to this ce, they would know I''m


    here. Come in! Don''t worry." As a racing driver, Patricia must have the steering wheel in her hands,


    even if it was Leena''s car she was in.


    "Fine! Please drive slowly though!" Leena sat in the passenger seat and felt terribly uneasy about the


    uing journey.


    "I''m going to live in your house for a couple of days. Are you sure you don''t want to discuss this with


    your dear husband first?" Patricia asked with an air of uncertainty. The moment Leena was strapped in,


    Patricia pressed down hard on the elerator and the car flew like a bat out of hell. Leena was terrified


    to death and her face went pale. This was why she had urged Patricia to drive slowly, but thetter just


    ignored her request.


    "Don''t worry. Kevin is soft-hearted and open to persuasion. He won''t have a problem with it," Leena


    assured her friend. In truth, she was a bit unsure. ''Kevin would say yes, wouldn''t he? He''s a generous


    man!'' Leena consoled herself.


    "I''m not worried about that. If he gets angry, I''ll leave the house with you — his beloved wife. Then, he


    is sure to regret it." Patricia pursed her lips before giving Leena a cunning smile. She resembled


    Michelle in character. They were both proud and unruly.


    "Don''t be ridiculous. I won''t leave with you." Leena cast Patricia a scornful nce. Given the choice


    between Patricia and Kevin, Leena would choose thetter for sure.


    "It''s not your choice! Look! The guy over there looks quite handsome." Patricia pointed to a man


    standing by a car. Though she didn''t want to get married anytime soon, she liked checking out


    handsome men. She looked askance at the man while driving.


    "Be careful! You''re driving. You''ve seen countless handsome men before. Why are you so excited?"


    Leenained before looking in the direction Patricia was pointing to. When she saw the familiar


    figure, her eyes lit up. "Pull over!" she yelled.


    The car screeched to a halt. The brakes grinded as Patricia pulled over.


    "What did you just do? Why were you shouting? I was scared to death!" Patricia red at Leena with


    burning, reproachful eyes. It was really dangerous to shout at drivers.


    "Sorry! I just saw a friend of mine, so I lost my cool," Leena apologized. She pushed the door open and


    ran toward the Maybach at the roadside.


    "Leena, it''s you! It is very dangerous to brake so sharply like that, you know?" Tom had heard the


    brakes squeal and turned around. When he saw Leena walking toward him, he was in so much panic


    that he couldn''t help but me her.


    "I''m sorry for scaring you, Tom. I saw you standing there, so I..." Leena scratched her head in


    embarrassment. She didn''t tell Tom that she was not the driver.


    "Don''t act like this next time, okay? Remember, you must put your safety first, no matter what happens.


    You always hurt yourself." Tom frowned when he saw the faint scar on her face.


    "I''ll keep your words in mind next time. By the way, what''s wrong with your car? Why are you here?"


    Staring at the open hood of the car, she wondered if it had broken down on the way.


    "I have such bad luck! It''s just not getting started. I don''t know what the problem is. Maybe it''s because


    of the weather." Tom was frustrated. He was highly skilled at making a diagnosis when it came to


    people''s health, but when it came to cars, he knew nothing.


    "Have you called the garage?" Leena had no idea about cars either, so she could only suggest this.


    "Not yet. I was trying to fix it myself, but it turns out I can''t do it." Tom looked upset and dejected. He


    always believed that he was a genius in every aspect, but now he had to admit that he was not an all-


    rounder.


    "Ah, so you two know each other," Patricia interrupted, crossing her arms. She stared at Tom. The guy


    looked even more handsome once she stepped closer. She grew a little interested in him.


    "And you are?" Tom asked in confusion. He was so focused on conversing with Leena that he didn''t


    notice the woman who had followed her.


    "Your car broke down? Do you want my help?" Patricia curled her lips, giving him a teasing smile.


    "Right! Patricia knows how to fix cars. Come on, Patricia. Tom''s car has broken down." Leena was


    ted when she remembered that Patricia was good at repairing cars.


    "Hey man, do you need my help?" Patricia asked Tom again, looking at him right in the eye. She didn''t


    n to hide her interest in him.


    "If you really know how to repair cars, that would be great. But are you sure you can do it?" Tom said in


    a cold voice. He was not a fool and had realized her intention, but she was not his type.


    "Wanna bet?" Patricia asked, her eyes sparkling. She swore to herself that she would take him down.


    "Really? I didn''t expect you to be a gamester." Tom''s interest piqued. The woman in front of him was


    certainly different from thedies he hade across in the past.


    "If I have your car fixed, will you pretend to be my boyfriend for the next couple of days?" Patricia


    blurted out. She didn''t even try to put her request in a more euphemistic way.


    "What? May I know the reason for that?" Tom raised his eyebrows. It was the first time that he had met


    such a straightforward woman. He was curious about her.


    "Well, you look handsome. You are my cup of tea. Those are reasons enough. Does that sound good?"


    Patricia disliked doctors. If she ever found out that Tom was a doctor, she would regret what she just


    said.


    "How do you know I''ll say yes to such an unreasonable request? There are so many other people who


    can fix my car." Tom leaned against his car and slipped his hands in his pockets. He was not irritated


    by her words; he just thought she was very arrogant.

    "I was not forcing you, just asking for your opinion," Patricia said, still gazing into Tom''s eyes.


    Leena looked back and forth between Kevin and Patricia, her eyes wide. All of a sudden, an idea struck


    her. She giggled to herself without being noticed by the two. ''Patricia hates doctors. She might not have


    heard me calling his name. She doesn''t know he''s a doctor but has a thing for him just because of his


    looks!'' Leena thought.
