Violet ignored everyone’s gazes. She pursed his lips and said softly, “Are you busy now?”
She did not address Patrick as Mr. Hersey and did not dare to reveal his name, afraid that her lie would be exposed.
Patrick was quiet. He remained silent for two seconds before saying, “I’m not busy. What''s wrong?”
Someone mouthed teasingly, “Ask him what he’s doing now.”
Violet looked at everyone’s expectant expressions and braced herself to continue. “Then what’re you...”
Before Violet could finish her sentence, Patrick exined, “I am at the
bar!”
“Why is it so quiet over there?” Violet was a little surprised.
Patrick’s voice seemed to be tinged with a faint smile. “I’m in the private
room!”
Violet suddenly remembered that Patrick was in Timeless Bar’s private room. It was extremely soundproof and blocked out
almost all the noise, at quiet ce amidst themotion,
Violet hesitated for a second and said, “Then you keep drinking. I''ll hang up first!”
The alumni instantly panicked and their expressions changed. Someone shouted, “Violet, you can’t do this!”
Patrick’s voice turned cold. “Who''s talking?”
Violet felt a little helpless. “It''s one of my old schoolmates. Remember the Alumni Gathering | told you about? Everyone here
wants to see you. | originally wanted you toe and pick me up, but you were drinking and you can’t drink and drive!”
Patrick heard this, and it was clear from his tone that he understood what
was happening. “It’s okay. I''ll get the driver to send me. You can go enjoy yourself first!”
Violet finally heaved a sigh of relief and hung up. She did not expose herself and they coordinated so well with each other.
As soon as she hung up, everyone asked enviously.
“Violet, your boyfriend’s voice is so nice. He must be very handsome!”
Violet was silent for a second. The image of Patrick’s handsome face. appeared in her mind. She nodded. “Yes, he is indeed
quite good-looking!”
There were already people whose eyes were filled with envy. “Wow, he has an amazing voice. He’s so handsome too. How is
that even fair?”
“Violet. Your boyfriend must be very rich too, right? He even has a
designated driver when he goes out!” The other party asked with a teasing
and envious smile.
Violet felt a little ufortable. She did not know how to answer such a question. “It’s nothing much!”
Reba could not stand it anymore. She had only wanted to ridicule Violet, but she did not expect that she would give Reba
a chance to gain. face.
Reba’s face was drawn long and unhappy. “It could also just be at temporary driver! What’s the point of spending so much
money!”
Violet looked at her speechlessly and did not say anything.
The people in the circle could also tell that Reba just wanted to cause trouble. Everyone did not say a word and looked at
each other.
Reba suddenly felt a little awkward.
Violet looked at her indifferently and said bluntly, “Yes, it definitely could be a temporary driver.”
Reba’s expression changed, but she did not say anything.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.

At the same time
in Timeless Bar.
Robert nced at Patrick and asked with a smile, “Who is it?”
Patrick nced sideways at him. “Violet.”
Robert looked slo ppy. “Why is she calling sote at night? Is she checking up on you?”
Patrick nced at him casually and gently shook the wine ss in hist hand, ignoring Robert.
Robert did not want to be left out. “It’s just the two of us. Say something. Don’t let me have a monologue!”
Patrick snorted softly. “I think you’re having quite a bit of fun talking to yourself!”
Robert rolled his eyes. “I’m not happy anymore!”
Patrick looked as if it had nothing to do with him even if Robert was unhappy. “I''ll go pick Violet up after finishing this drink!”
Robert rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows in question. “Pick up Did she just call you to pick her up?”
Violet?
Patrick leaned against the sofa and nced at him from the corner of his eye. He did not say anything.
Robert pursed his lips and could not help butin, “Goodness, you’re so quiet. Whoever drinks with you will probably die of
anger. Fortunately, I''ve endured this humiliation for so many years. I’m already used to it!”
Patrick took a sip of wine. His expression was dark under the light of the
private room.
Patrick was silent for a long time before he suddenly said casually, “Robert, how do you usually... woo women?”
After Patrick finished speaking, a dark glint shed across his eyes.
Robert was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately became
Ill
energetic and leaned towards Patrick. “No way, Patrick. Which woman have you fallen for?”
Patrick looked at him indifferently. “Answer the question and cut the cr ap!”
Robert looked at him with a cheeky smile. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can’t judge at book by its cover. | guess no one can remain a saint
forever. Let me guess. Don''t tell me you''ve taken a fancy to Rose!”
After all, there had been rumors of a scandal between Patrick and Rose
just recently.
Not only did Patrick not stop these rumors but Rose also rose in poprity and remained safe and sound. This was something
worth thinking about!
Patrick’s eyes darkened. “What nonsense are you talking about? | told you to answer my question honestly. Don’t you
understand what I’m saying?”
Robert pouted. “I’m just curious. If you can’t even satisfy this little curiosity, why are you asking me about matters of the heart?”
Patrick’s nk and cold face would scare anyone but Robert.
Even if Patrick gave Robert a cold face, he would not truly attack him.
In front of Patrick, Robert was a little different from when he was in front
of others.
Patrick looked at him coldly, waiting to see what nonsense he would say.
Robert stared at him intently. “Tell me, what’s so good about Rose? You’re her spokesperson, and you''re so protective of her. |
can’t even ask about
these matters!”
Patrick looked at him angrily. “It''s not Rose!”
