Chapter 159


    Patricia felt a lot better after letting off some steam by getting snarky with him. She turned around


    and headed back to her desk to get started on her work.


    In reality, she did not have much to do. All she did was serve his coffee, apany him during


    mealtimes, and keep a record of his schedule and itinerary.


    However, she brought a book to keep her upied today. She wanted to start learning design


    more seriously.


    Once she had a skill to her name, she could throw her resignation letter at Isaac’s face.


    Isaac realized that her expression looked a lot better now, after mocking him. She no longer


    seemed to be brewing up a storm inside.


    He chuckled to himself. So she did find out what truly happened that night.


    “Patricia, why don’t you see for yourself if it’s functioning?”


    Patricia had just flipped her book open when she heard his disgusting retort. She rolled her eyes at


    once.


    “It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s functional or not, Mr. Arnold. You should discuss that with your


    fiancée instead. Discussing this with your female secretary counts as sexual harassment.”


    She turned her attention back to her book, paying him no mind.


    Any other day, Isaac would have brought up Josephine by now. He knew how important this job


    was to Patricia.


    At the very mention of Josephine’s name, Patricia would flip a switch and try to please him with her


    sweet disposition.


    However, he did not feel like teasing her today.


    He assumed that she was jealous, as the invites for the engagement party had been sent out, so


    the entirepany knew about it now. She would have heard about it too.


    It was his turn to try and coax her now, so he decided not to tease her.


    For the next half hour, both of them busied themselves with their work, and neither one of them

    spoke to the other.


    A whileter, Liam came in to discuss work matters with Isaac, followed by a procession of various


    other managers and senior executives.


    Patricia went off to photostat some documents, and by the time she returned to her desk, Isaac


    had left for a meeting.


    She finally felt at ease, alone in the empty office.


    With him here, her mind would keep flitting back to what he did to her, and she would be tempted


    to beat him up for it.


    This urge was less pressing when he was not around.


    Patricia sent Darcie a text.


    ‘Darcie, I got into a fight with Isaac today, so now I finally feel a lot better! How’s your chest? Don’t


    forget to use the medication.’


    Darcie texted her back. ‘How did he react? Was he surprised that you found out the truth about


    what happened? Hahaha! But Tricia, men are all like that, so you don’t need to feel too upset


    about it. Isaac’s such a handsome catch anyway, so it’s no loss to you.’


    There was a fiery look in Patricia’s eyes once she read the text. Her fingers tapped away furiously.


    ‘It’s no loss? It’s a huge loss! He’s about to get engaged to Adeline next Saturday. The very


    thought of Adeline’s boyfriend doing that to me makes me want to hurl.’


    She mmed her phone down once she sent her reply. The more she thought about it, the angrier


    she felt.


    It looked like she had to toss a few more insults at himter to settle her rage. That b*stard! That


    scoundrel!


    Soon, she got Darcie’s reply. ‘Tricia, why does it feel like you’re jealous? Haha… if you do like


    Isaac, then you better hurry up, or else, it’ll be toote once he gets married. I’m pretty sure all you


    have to do is say the word, and he won’t get engaged, much less married.’


    Darcie’s text got Patricia thinking, but soon after, she shook her head. I don’t even like him. Why


    would I ask him to call off the engagement?


    Isaac returned to the office at noon.


    Patricia was about to head to the staff cafeteria for lunch, so when she saw himing in, she


    asked, “Mr. Arnold, are you nning on having lunch at the cafeteria, or would you prefer some


    other restaurant? I’ll ce the order for you.”


    One of her responsibilities was to keep himpany during mealtimes, and he usually ordered


    food from famous restaurants that served pretty good food.


    Therefore, her taste buds had gotten a lot more selective thanks to her job here at Arnold


    Corporation.


    “I’m attending an auction, Miss Aniston, and you’ll being with me.”
