Chapter 159

Patricia felt a lot better after letting off some steam by getting snarky with him. She turned around andheaded 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, accompany him duringmealtimes, and keep a record of his schedule and itinerary.

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

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 tobe brewing up a storm inside.

He chuckled to himself. So she did replace 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 atonce.

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

At the very mention of Josephine’s name, Patricia would flip a switch and try to please him with hersweet 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 theentire company 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 spoketo the other.

A while later, Liam came in to discuss work matters with Isaac, followed by a procession of variousother managers and senior executives.

Patricia went off to photostat some documents, and by the time she returned to her desk, Isaac had leftfor 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 tobeat 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’tforget to use the medication.’

Darcie texted her back. ‘How did he react? Was he surprised that you found out the truth about whathappened? 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 ofAdeline’s boyfriend doing that to me makes me want to hurl.’

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

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

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 too late once he gets married. I’m pretty sure all you have to dois 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 wouldI 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 him coming in, she asked,“Mr. Arnold, are you planning on having lunch at the cafeteria, or would you prefer some otherrestaurant? I’ll place the order for you.”

One of her responsibilities was to keep him company during mealtimes, and he usually ordered foodfrom 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 be coming with me.”
