Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 403

At this time, I was relieved in my heart.

When I walked out of the press conference, I saw Nancy and Paulina standing outside.

Upon seeing me, Nancy stepped forward and pushed me lightly, staring at me, "You are more capable, aren't you? You dared to bypass me and turned to my husband directly, didn't you?"

"No, I..."

"Do you want to argue? With your social circle, how can you hold a press conference? If you didn't turn to him, no one else would help you!"

Nancy directly interrupted me.

Seeing that she pursed her lips, I put my hands in front of my chest, lowered her head, and closed my eyes tightly, apologizing, "I'm sorry! It's true that turned to your husband for business rather than private affairs."

"How would I know?"

Nancy pouted.

Without looking up, I continued, "It's true, I promise. I found him in his company and stayed there for less than ten minutes before I came out." "And then?"

"And then? There is no then. I got the phone number of the one in charge of a PR company from your husband. I didn't do anything. Neither did I say extra words. I promise!"

In fact, I know that Nancy wasn't angry with me because of this.

She was surely angry about the fact that I hadn't told her about this matter, thinking that I didn't trust her.

I kept my head down.

And it was quiet.

Paulina, who was usually so talkative, stood on the side without saying anything.

In this way, after a dozen seconds, I finally heard Nancy's voice again, "If there is a next time, let's break up! Do you take me as your partner?"

Judging from Nancy's words, she had forgiven me, hadn't she?

I raised my head and saw that Nancy looked unhappy. Even so, Paulina burst out laughing on the side, "I was scared to death. I almost couldn't hold myself back any more!"

"I'm sorry." I hugged Nancy directly, "I didn't want you to be worried about me. I'm glad that Lawyer Michael and Matt came this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would be slandered to a more serious extent. I'm afraid that I would affect you."

"In that case, you have more reasons to tell us about it so that we can run away in advance," Nancy said deliberately.

Hearing this, I looked serious and nodded, "I agree. If there is such a thing next time, I will inform you in advance."

"Will there be a next time? I'll beat you!" Nancy raised her hand and pretended to be angry, "Let me tell you, you have to treat us to have a seafood meal before we can get over this matter!"

"Alright, alright. There's no problem with treating you three times!"

I agreed decisively.

Nancy parked her car in the parking lot.

We walked to the parking lot together. For no reason, I felt empty in my heart and looked around.

Except for us, everyone else had almost left. And there was no one in the large open space.

There was no car on the side of the road.

I followed Nancy and looked around carefully.

Seeing that I didn't catch up with her, Nancy asked, "What's wrong?"

I shook my head.

"Didn't Patrick come?"

Originally, I thought he would come.

"Is he angry?"

For no reason, I felt nervous, bitter, and upset in my heart, feeling that something had happened to Patrick!

I looked at Nancy and said, "Well, you should go there first. I'll go home."

"I'll send you home." Nancy looked at me, "What's wrong with you?"

"I... I... I'm going to see Patrick."

I said to Nancy.

Nancy frowned slightly, "Then I'll send you off."

Nancy sent me to Rosy's home.

I opened the door and went in. The house was empty. Patrick's coat wasn't hung at the door. And the slippers that he had changed were placed at the door.

"Isn't Patrick at home? Then where had he gone?"

I quickly called Patrick, only to hear the beep sound all the time. About a minute later, a reminder rang...

"Hello, the number you dialed is not answered for the time being. Please call again later..."

If it were at ordinary times, I wouldn't care about it, thinking that Patrick was naturally having a meeting or something.

However, I was particularly uneasy today.

Nancy also followed in. Seeing me holding the cell phone, she asked, "What's wrong? Can't you get in touch with him?"

"Yeah." With my back to her, I looked at the slippers far away from each other on the ground. It indicated that Patrick should have left in a hurry. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Paulina said from behind, "Isn't Mr. Cowell quite bust? After all, he is the boss of such a big company. He surely has to attend to a meeting or deal with something."

"You didn't tell him about the press conference, right?"

Nancy finally realized this matter.

I nodded.

Nancy sighed, "Janetta Nolan, oh, Janetta Nolan. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Patrick is so good to you. Why did you hide this matter from him?"

"I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this matter independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?" "Are you making blind and disorderly

conjectures?"

Nancy looked at me with a frown.

"Am I thinking randomly?"

I didn't know what to say at the moment.

Nancy took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Paulina said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up to now."

I knew that what Nancy had said wouldn't happen.

When I left, I remembered Patrick's expression very clearly.

He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.

Paulina shouted from the side, "Go to have a meal quickly. I'm so hungry."

Without saying anything, I followed them and left.

On the way, Paulina chose a few seafood restaurants. To make it up to Nancy and Paulina and indirectly thank Nancy's husband, Jerrold Maddox, I chose one with the most expensive seafood.

The average consumption there would be at least 1000 dollars.

Hearing the name of the seafood restaurant I chose, Paulina was so scared and so jawdropping, "Do you really want to go to this seafood restaurant?"

"We should go!" Nancy spoke first, "Let's make her broke. Then she can be motivated to work. And only then can she stop thinking too much."

"Yes!" Paulina raised her hands in agreement.

This seafood restaurant was located in the old city center of City Y, once a prosperous place.

It was what it used to be.

So the road was very narrow with all single lanes.

However, all the high- end restaurants in City Y were all here. For a restaurant located here, it was normal that its average consumption was at least 1000 dollars. Furthermore, there were few private rooms inside.

It wasn't the weekend today. And it was at noon. That was why we dared to come here.

The car drove in the middle of the narrow singleway street. Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, I looked at the scenery along the street.

It was sometimes warm and sometimes cold in early spring. And there were few pedestrians on the side of the road.

When the car turned a corner, I saw two people standing in front of a white house.

They were a man and a woman.

When I looked over, the woman happened to raise her arm and hooked it around the man's neck. Standing on tiptoes, she kissed him.

Human beings were born to be curious.

As the car drove in that direction, I couldn't help looking at them. However, when the car passed by the two of them, I felt as if someone had stabbed my heart with a knife after seeing who the man and the woman were.

I was in so much pain that I even forgot to breathe.
