Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 414

I stood still, looked at Jason, and said with a serious look on my face, "No! Absolutely not!"

"Why?" It seemed that Jason didn't expect that I would refuse him so straightforwardly. Looking surprised, he said, "I am excellent. I win first place in my major. I have received a lot of awards. Many companies have contacted me, hoping that I can work at their company after I graduate!"

I looked at him and said, "Why did you choose animation as your major? I heard from Paulina that your family's conditions were not good. You had to buy a notebook costing more than 3 thousand dollars to enter the Animation Department. Your parents didn't agree at that time. During the summer vacation before your freshman year, instead of having fun, you had been working as a tutor all the time. So you bought a computer by yourself, didn't you?"

"Yes." With a dull look in his eyes, he nodded, "That's because I like animation. I've been watching animation since I was a child. So..."

"So..." I didn't need to hear any more words from Jason, "Come to work at our studio means that you have to give up your dream and start to learn something from scratch. You can't ruin the career of your life because of your temporary impulsiveness."

"But..."

"There are no buts." I looked at him firmly, "You are smart and excellent. After you grow up, you will surely be a good man. However, never should you give up what you love because of someone else, whoever they are. In that case, you will give up on what your love as well as yourself. No one will appreciate you like that."

Jason looked at me like that with uncertainty in his eyes.

I didn't know if he got my point or not.

After I finished my words, I looked at my watch and said, "I'm leaving now. Or I'll be late."

Then I walked quickly to the entrance of the school.

Jason quickly caught up with me and said, "Janetta, I'll walk you out." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"I'm not a child. And I won't get lost."

I shook my head helplessly.

He followed beside me and said with a smile, "I know. I'm just worried about you. Only after walking you there will I be relieved."

After he said that, he just followed by my side.

He had been walking me all the way to the entrance of the hotel. And it wasn't until I urged him that he left.

However, I walked into the lobby and looked back, only to see Jason standing there. Then I couldn't help frowning.

His change was too obvious.

Perhaps, it was indeed time for me to consider hiring another person to take care of Glenn.

I arrived at the restaurant, followed the guidance sign at the door, and successfully found the banquet hall.

There were about seventeen or eighteen round tables in it. By the time I went in, a lot of people had been there.

Most of them were unfamiliar to me.

I looked around and found my name on a round table at the most rear.

As soon as I sat down, the principal went on stage, "Welcome, everyone. Among those who are standing here today, besides the outstanding graduates of the Fine Arts of Academy, there are some people who have donated a lot of money to us. I sincerely thank you here for your coming!"

Well, the principal sounded pretty bureaucratic by saying so.

All the excellent graduates were sitting at my table. I looked around, confirming that no one was familiar with me. So I decided to stay here for a while and leave.

As I was thinking so, a man sitting next to me, who was about the same age as me, came over and said, "You are Janetta Nolan showing up in the news at the beginning of this year, right? You are the most famous one among us."

He raised his fingers like a lady as he spoke.

Although I didn't show my emotions on my face, I was disgusted with him in my heart.

He didn't seem to sense my thought either, saying, "And recently, you've been quite famous. A villa area designed by you actually makes everyone think that the real estate industry will revive soon."

"Alas! In the final analysis, your partner is quite powerful. Without her, I don't think you can be who you are now."

I didn't make a reply. And the man raising his fingers like a lady kept muttering to himself.

I got his point, that was, I was just so-so and that the reason I could be so famous now was because of my good luck.

I didn't want to bother with him. So I nodded, "That's right."

After all, once walking out of this place, we wouldn't know each other.

At this time, the dishes were served.

The principal walked up to the stage again and said, "During the anniversary this year, Mr. Cowell of the Sky-Ringing Group donated money and built a library for us." Hearing this, I suddenly became nervous.

Thinking of the purpose of the banquet today, I had a bad feeling!

Sure enough, the principal said then, "Today, Mr. Cowell took time out of his busy schedule to come to our reciprocal banquet. For this, please applaud warmly to welcome Mr. Cowell and ask him to give a speech to us on the stage!"

As expected, the principal spoke in a bureaucratic tone.

At this time, everyone applauded. I looked around, only to find that unexpectedly, Patrick was sitting at the forefront table. And I was sitting at the most rear table.

He, who was too far away from me just now, was surrounded by others. So I didn't see him.

Patrick slowly stepped onto the stage and took the microphone over from the headmaster, speaking to the microphone in a magnetic and pleasant voice, "Fine Arts of Academy of City Y is the oldest fine arts school. It is also my honor to contribute to your school with my limited abilities..."

After that, Patrick said a little more words.

To tell the truth, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed that Patrick would talk about this matter so modestly.

I didn't know if it was my illusion. But I always felt that Patrick was looking in my direction.

At this time, I heard the man raising his fingers like a lady next to me say, "Oh, Mr. Cowell is really handsome. He seems to be looking in my direction."

I sneered in my heart and quickly turned my face around.

I no longer looked at the podium.

And Paulina prayed in my heart that Patrick didn't see me.

I planned to leave after the dinner began.

Soon, Patrick ended his speech. The ones under the stage applauded him. And I planned to leave after staying here for a few minutes.

However, before I could find the right time, I heard c next to me say, "Oh, it seems that Mr. Cowell is walking in our direction!"

I looked up and saw that others sitting at the same table as me all looked behind me.

"It can't be."

I felt a chill run down my spine.

In less than two seconds, the man raising his fingers like a lady next to me stood up, "Mr. Cowell, do you want to sit here? Shall I ask the waiter to add a chair here?"

All the seats at our table had been taken.

However, we didn't sit close to each other. If we moved closer to each other and asked the waiter to add one or two more chairs, it would not be a problem.

I already understood why Patrick was here.

At this time, I heard Patrick's voice next to me, "I want to sit here. You can sit somewhere else."

I wasn't sure who Patrick was speaking to. But I was sure that he wasn't talking to me.

At this time, the man raising his fingers like a lady next to me was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly pushed me, "Do you hear that? Mr. Cowell asked you to step aside... It hurts!"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly cried out in alarm.

I looked over and found that the man raising his finger looked pale. As soon as he reached over to me, someone behind me reached out and pinched

his hand tightly.

The next second, I heard Patrick's icy-cold voice, "How dared you touch my woman?"
