Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 107

Patrick looked at me and said nothing.

I told him that I had gone to Holy Spirit Hospital today to see Caroline, including how she was standing in front of the bed safe and sound.

After that, I raised my head, looked at Patrick, and hooked up the corner of my lips, smiling playfully, "You can choose not to believe me."

After that, I handed the suit to the servant beside me and went towards my room alone.

But I heard Patrick behind me saying, "Your birthday will come in a few days. Do you want to go anywhere? Or do you want any gift?"

"Birthday."

This word was familiar and yet strange to me.

After calculating the date, I found that my birthday was indeed getting closer with more than two weeks to go.

I turned around and looked at Patrick, only to see that he was loosening the tie with his hand.

To tell the truth, he looked so sexy while doing that.

He untied his tie and then unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the muscles on his strong chest bits by bits.

He looked at me with his profound and black eyes. However, it occurred to me that he would also look at Caroline like this.

He would also take hold of Caroline's hands with his slender hands at any time.

What I wanted was a whole Patrick and a Patrick who only belonged to me.

But I knew it was impossible.

I looked at Patrick quietly and said word by word, "What I want is that I've never known you."

"If I can't have you, I wish I had never known you."

Patrick walked over and held me in his arms, "Don't say any words in a fit of anger."

This time, I didn't resist. I only heard his voice above my head, "I know what you want. Give me some time. You will be the only woman next to me in the future."

"He's lying."

I said so to myself in my heart.

I knew that he was lying. However, his lie sounded so tempting.

As a result, I was a little indulged in it at that time.

That day, Patrick booked a hotel for my birthday celebration, a cake, and a nightgown for me.

The next day, I went to work in Glorious Seth Design again.

The current General Manager of Glorious Seth Design was one of Patrick's men. His name was Dion Lance. He knew the relationship between me and Patrick. On the morning of my first day at work, he asked me to go to his office.

As soon as I went in, he got down to the point and said, "Miss Archer, Mr. Cowell has told me everything about you. In the future, you can go to work according to your schedule. You don't need to deal with many clients at one time. If you need my help, come to me at any time."

I knew that it was Patrick who instructed him to do so.

But I refused.

"Mr. Lance, you can treat me like an ordinary employee. I will work hard."

Although I said so with determination, I saw doubts in Dion's eyes.

But on the surface, he agreed.

I knew that he wouldn't believe me whatever I said at this time. When I was about to leave, the door of his office was pushed open again.

Angie came in from the outside and said while walking, "Manager, I've already finished the last order. The customer is done with checking on it and accepting it today. I'll resign from today onwards."

Dion said a few polite words to her, "Okay, okay. Thank you for your hard work."

As Angie was about to leave, she finally noticed me. Feeling somewhat surprised, she asked, "Charlotte Archer? Why are you here?"

Dion immediately introduced me, "She is a new employee."

Angie sneered and said, "Fortunately, I resigned today. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind."

After that, she walked out.

I followed Angie out. Then I immediately caught up with her and asked her, "Why did you resign?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Angie didn't intend to tell me anything at all.

But I knew that it should have something to do with Seth.

I didn't want to make her dislike me more. So I just said, "I won't go to find Seth anymore. He's very good. I'm not worthy of him."

After that, I turned around and left.

When Angie was listening to me, I clearly saw her surprised expression.

Although Angie had never been nice to me, I felt that she was more suitable for Seth than me.

I came into Glorious Seth Design as a new employee, only to find that almost all the employees across the Design Department had been replaced by new ones. Except for a senior designer named Raina Winston, all my other colleagues didn't know my identity. So it was much easier for me to get along with them.

It probably was a coincidence.

On the third day after I came to work at Glorious Seth Design, I received a phone call from Seth.

He told me over the phone that his mother was in poor health and that he decided not to go back to City Y. Instead, he stayed at home and ran a small company specialized in design.

"You're great. I believe you'll run it pretty well," I said.

Except for those words, I didn't know what else to say.

Only a few days had passed ever since the two of us had decided to elope out of our impulsiveness. However, it seemed that it had happened in the previous century.

Now, I had become Patrick's lover who couldn't be revealed in public.

I seemed to start my life all over again. But in fact, it was dark in the road ahead of me.

I couldn't even see a single glimmer of light in the future.

However, Patrick did it very well on the surface.

My birthday celebration was set on someday two weeks later. I went to work that day. While Patrick waited for me at the next intersection of the company as I said.

After I got in the car, he took me to get changed with an evening dress and put on makeup. It wasn't until in the evening that he took me to a high-end restaurant.

When the waiter opened the door for us, I stood at the door and saw that there was only a table with a small candle on it in the large dining hall...

Patrick made a gentlemanly gesture beside me, signaling me to go inside.

In fact, I was a little scared at this time. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I was afraid of this kind of dark space.

I looked at the shaky candle in the middle, feeling that it would go out in the next second!

"Don't be afraid."

Patrick grabbed me with one hand.

I, whose hands were originally trembling, seemed to feel a little better after feeling the warmth coming from his palm.

I summoned up my courage and stepped into the dining hall.

The moment I stepped into the dining hall, countless lights lit up around me. And the large black- out cloth on the window aside was also pulled up.

Outside the window, it was the most famous CBD in City Y. And the screen on the building was all lit up.

When I looked over, I saw a few words rolling on all the buildings, which read, "Charlotte, happy birthday."

At the same time, on a small stage in the dining hall, a band began to play music.

A waitress pushed a cart over, on which there was a birthday cake made up of three layers.

At the top of the cake, there stood a Princess Belle from Disneyland.

"Happy birthday."

Patrick took my hand and pulled me to the sole table in the dining hall, pulling out a seat for me.

I sat down.

After that, another waiter pushed a cart over.

I saw a velvet box on it.

Judging from the box's material, I thought there should be a piece of jewelry in it.

As soon as I saw the box, Patrick walked over and opened it.

A necklace was lying inside quietly.

The pendant under the necklace was a huge pink-heart-shaped gem. I didn't know what it was. But it looked very bright and beautiful.

"This is a pink-diamond necklace. I specially flew to France for its auction last week and auctioned it for you." Patrick said, picking up the necklace and asking me, "Do you like it?"

I nodded gently.

Such a big pink diamond should have cost him a lot of money. I couldn't help but say, "In fact, you don't need to give me such an expensive gift. I don't understand the intricacies in between."

Patrick didn't respond. He just picked up the necklace and said, "Come on, I'll help you wear it."

He walked behind me as he spoke.

Just as he was about to help me wear the necklace, I heard footsteps behind him.

It seemed to be the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
