Chapter 79
Isaac was already done with his meal at this point, and he checked the time before telling Patricia, “I’mgoing to take a nap. Remember to wake me up at one-thirty.”
With that, he left, leaving her in the most comfortable spot to enjoy her meal alone.
Patricia kept sensing watchful gazes from all around her. Yet they would all be gone when shechecked, looking like no one was paying any attention to her.
Thus, she brought her attention back to her plate. She had to say, the food in Arnold Corporation wasamazing, and she thought every dish was delectable, on par with five-star restaurants. Just then,someone sat down across from her, and she looked up to replace Liam smiling at her. “Is the food to yourtaste, Miss Aniston?”
Patricia hurriedly chewed, swallowed, and took a sip of her juice before answering, “You’re also onlyeating now, Mr. Dorchester?”
It seemed that only the two of them came late—well, Isaac too, but hey, he was the president of thecompany, so he didn’t need to stand in line.
Liam nodded in affirmation. “I’m nearly always the last. I’m used to it, though.”
At that, she said nothing more and continued eating. Liam had a good feeling that Patricia was quitehappy with the food here, seeing that she stuffed her mouth like a chipmunk, enjoying her meal.
At that, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes. Never had anyone in this company ever thoughtsomething like ‘President Arnold setting up an additional desk in his office’ would ever happen whilethey were alive. So the entire company was now saying Patricia could potentially be the future Mrs.Arnold. And, boy, the women here sure wanted to eat her heart out.
Liam thought they were right about the ‘future Mrs. Arnold’ part as well, especially when he knew hisboss truly treated Patricia differently. Therefore, he naturally would want to be on Patricia’s good side.
“Miss Aniston, there’s ice cream over there. You can give it a try; it’s Häagen-Dazs.”
Patricia glanced toward it in response. She indeed would like something cool and refreshing when shewas starting to replace the food a little greasy. Hence, she got up and went to the dessert section.
A few female colleagues were lining up to grab the ice cream, but they all moved aside upon seeingher. “After you, Miss Aniston!”
Patricia was rendered stumped for a second, for she had never received such treatment. “Thank you!”she said politely.
With that, she opened the freezer door, took one out, and walked back to her seat under the eyes ofthe crowd.
After sitting down, Patricia commented while eating the ice cream, “Mr. Dorchester, I noticed everyonehere’s super nice, and they really look after me.”
Every single one of them was courteous to her and would even let her take the ice cream first. Whatlovely colleagues!
Liam hurriedly took a sip of his soup, having nearly spat out the food in his mouth. “Yeah, everyonehere in Arnold Corporation is nice.”
Could they not when all of them already think of you as the future Mrs. Arnold?! he mused.
Patricia felt content after finishing her ice cream. Not only was her lunch free, but it was also plentiful.Oh, how happy she would be to work in Arnold Corporation until her retirement.
After lunch, Patricia returned to the president’s office in a good mood and took a nap on the couch.
The president’s couch sure was different—soft and comfy. It felt really snug.
She set the alarm for one-thirty so that she could wake Isaac up on time.
The alarm did its work, waking Patricia up on time. While turning it off, she thought she had had awonderful nap.
After a stretch, she made her way to Isaac’s private lounge and found the man sleeping with his handsresting on his chest above the covers, eyes closed, breathing evenly. He even looked good when hewas asleep.
“President Arnold, time to wake up.” She shook him lightly, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Upon hearing her voice, Isaac opened his eyes dully, only to replace her face inches away from him. Herluscious, rosy lips were right in front of him, and even slightly pouting at that.
