    Chapter 2916


    Patricia bit her lip, looking at Er’s sad expression. She couldn’t help but feel a tug at her heart.


    “You should forget about me. It’s impossible for us,” she said, her voice filled with a mix of struggle and


    restraint.


    Deep down, Patricia knew their rtionship couldn’t be, constantly reminding herself to keep her


    distance. Yet, somehow, Er had managed to creep into her heart.


    She cared about him, wanted to know his feelings, worried, and thought about him often.


    But all these feelings could only lead to the painful truth that it was impossible. She couldn’t afford to


    give him or herself any hope.


    “Patricia, does he treat you well? Better than me, I bet,” Er murmured, his voice filled with a mix of


    hope and sadness.


    “I…” Patricia started to say but was cut off.

    Thud!


    Er fell off the couch.


    “Hey, be careful,” Patricia quickly helped him up, her voiceced with concern.


    Er, feeling a bit hurt from the fall, opened his eyes groggily. He saw a blurry figure that felt familiar.


    “Patricia, is that you?” he asked tentatively, hoping it was her.


    “Get up,” Patricia said, helping him back onto the couch without another word.


    Er, ovee with emotion, grabbed Patricia’s hand. “It’s you, isn’t it? I knew you wouldn’t leave me.”


    Patricia remained silent, just helping Er lie back down. “Go to sleep,” she instructed gently.


    “Okay,” Er obediently closed his eyes.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

    Soon, Er fell back into a drowsy sleep, easing Patricia’s worried mind.


    It seemed like he wasn’t really awake just now, just jolted awake by the fall, but still not sober enough


    to differentiate between dreams and reality.


    Seeing Er asleep again, Patricia decided not to leave and stayed to take care of him.


    As dawn broke, Patricia watched Er sleeping more peacefully and finally felt reassured enough to


    leave.


    ‘Probably, with the alcohol wearing off, he will wake up feeling rough, but otherwise fine.’


    She took onest deep look at Er, gently closed the office door behind her, and left with determined


    steps.


    The office was quiet again, as if nothing had happened.


    When Nicole and Lulu arrived at the office, they were surprised to see Er still asleep.


    “He’s not going to be okay, is he?” Lulu expressed her


    concern. “When will he wake up?”


    Nicole walked over to the sofa and looked at Er. Seeing his color was okay, she nudged him, “Er,


    wake up.”


    “Mm,” Er groaned, slowly opening his eyes.


    “That’s a relief,” Lulu sighed. “We thought you were going to die in drunk state.”


    As soon as Er heard Nicole and Lulu’s voices, his mind started to clear.


    Rubbing his temples, he sat up and looked around instinctively.


    “What are you looking for?” Lulu asked, puzzled.


    “Is it just you two?” Er mumbled, still somewhat hopeful as he scanned the room.


    “This is Nicole’s office, who else did you expect?” Lulu said, half-amused, half-concerned. “You must


    have drunk a lot, huh? Are you still drunk?”


    “Patricia? Where is she?” Er asked, confused. He had realized he was in Nicole’s office, but he


    remembered Patricia was there.
