Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 87

I, who had been overwhelmingly drunk, saw the tallest as well as the most conspicuous man among the crowd at a glance.

It was Patrick Cowell.

He was here as well...

Soon, I heard Lisa, who was next to me, say, "F**k. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together."

After careful observation, I found that the cynical playboy, Roger Lance, who had wanted to give Lisa his business card just now, was standing next to Patrick.

Some other people were next to them.

However, these people seemed to be surrounding Patrick and Roger.

While being surrounded by so many people, Patrick and Roger, naturally couldn't see us.

Seth put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Stop looking at them. Let's go."

After that, Seth called a designated driver to send me and Lisa back to my house.

As soon as I got in the car, the car started. And I felt a little dizzy. In order not to throw up in the car, I slept with my eyes closed.

I slept until the next morning.

The next morning, when I opened my eyes, I found that I wasn't at home. Instead, I was in a hotel...

I rubbed my head that was still a little dizzy. After thinking about it carefully for a while, I remembered that I had been drinking with Lisa and Seth last night.

"You're awake."

When I was thinking about what had happened last night, I heard Seth's voice.

Looking up, I saw Seth standing by the door of the bedroom. Although he was wearing a shirt and trousers, his shirt was loosely hanging on his body with the top three buttons being unbuttoned, revealing half of his strong chest muscles.

It was clear that Seth, who got sleepy eyes, had just woken up.

As soon as I saw him, I subconsciously touched my clothes.

I was still wearing the long sweater I had put on yesterday.

Only then was I at ease.

"I'm sorry.Yesterday, I..."

"You fell asleep yesterday. And I didn't know where your house was. So I had no choice but to bring you here." Seth seemed to sense that I was touching the clothes on my body based on the movement of the quilt. So he explained, "Don't worry. I just took off your coat for you."

"Thank you..."

I lowered my head slightly.

It was Monday today, he and I both had to go to work. Fortunately, based on my job responsibility, I didn't need to sit in the office.

But I had arranged things to do in the morning.

Seth and I finished cleaning ourselves up briefly. After coming out of the room, we stood at the entrance of the elevator and waited for the elevator.

To my surprise, the door of

the elevator opened.

And there were two people inside.

One was Patrick.

And the other one was Caroline.

The four of us looked into each other's eyes. I couldn't be more embarrassed, feeling that I had been caught cheating on the scene!

When I instinctively shrank back, I felt that Seth backed me with his arms and held me in his arms as he said to Patrick, "Good morning, Mr. Cowell."

I looked up and saw that the look on Patrick's face was terribly gloomy. Although there was no expression on his face, his black eyes seemed to be brewing a terrible storm.

Patrick didn't say anything. But Caroline smiled proudly and said, "Good morning, Charlotte, why is your face looking so pale? Could it be that you were exhausted last night?"

Her words made Patrick's face even gloomier.

Seth and I came out of a room in a hotel. And Caroline said that I had been worn out tired at night. It was justifiable for anyone to have random guessing about what had happened between Seth and me last night.

But Seth didn't seem to intend to explain. He held me in his arms and was about to enter the elevator. But Patrick walked out directly and blocked the entrance of the elevator. Then he looked down at Seth and said, "Minister Hyde, check the time. You are late, right?"

As I saw the scene, even if Patrick didn't finish his words, I would know what he wanted to do!

"Last night, we...' "Yeah. Mr. Cowell, I am just about to tell you that I'm going to resign. I'm going to pack up my things today. So I won't go to your company tomorrow."

Seth interrupted me.

I looked at him in surprise and wanted to ask something. But Seth held me in his arms, bypassed the two persons in front of us, and went into the elevator behind.

Although I dared not to look into Patrick's eyes in the end, I could feel the coldness emanating from him.

After I got into the elevator, I figured it out.

The fact that Patrick and Caroline both showed up in the hotel indicated that they probably had been here to have sex.

Thinking of this, I was sad. Moreover, I felt that my emotion just now a ridiculous thing. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I turned to Seth and apologized to him.

Seth smiled and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. I think it is good for me to resign. In that case, Glorious Seth Design will have a more professional team. And I can continue to be your colleague again."

"What?"

"Actually, I've already sent a text message to the manager last night, saying that I'm going to resign. Moreover, I sent a message to Wendy conveniently, saying that I'm ready to work in our company."

Hearing his words, I was in a daze, "But you said before that you wanted to learn about how to manage a company."

"Yes. But I have a more important thing to do now."

Seth had been putting his hand on my shoulder all the time. When he said this, he put a little force on his hand.

But the emotion I had got when I had seen Patrick just now sufficiently proved that I was still in love with Patrick.

It was so hard for me to hate him, let alone forgetting him.

I raised my hand and pushed his hand away. Then I turned to look at Seth and said to him, "Seth, you are very excellent. And you deserve a better woman. I don't want to stand in your way."

"I know what I want. Don't worry about me." Seth raised his hand, stroked my hair with his big hand, and went all the way down. Finally, he landed his hand on my chin and said word by word, "If work and career are both gone now, I can start all over again at any time. But if I lose someone I probably will never get her back again."

"Seth..."

Seth said, "Call me Seth. I missed you once.

And I don't want to miss you once again."

At this time, the elevator reached the first floor.

Seth finished checking out and sent me home.

I asked him to leave. But he insisted on waiting for me downstairs.

When I went downstairs, he sent me to the company. Only then did he go to his company.

I had been drawing design sketches in the company on the whole morning and ran to a construction site in the afternoon. Originally, I planned not to go back to the company, only to be temporarily informed that I had to go back to the company for a meeting.

By the time I arrived at the company, the meeting had begun.

As soon as I entered the conference room through the back door, I heard Wendy say, "Let me introduce our new Deputy General Manager to you, Mr. Seth."

Looking up, I saw Seth standing in front of the conference room.

He introduced himself.

I, who came in late, sat in the back row, only to hear the whispers of the two designers in front of me.

"Wow. This Deputy General Manager is so handsome."

"Don't you know him? He's very powerful. He's a genius. Since he was in college, he has been winning various prizes and favor."

"Why does such an awesome person come to work in our company?"

After Seth introduced himself, he saw me and smiled at me.

The designer in front of me immediately said, "Wow, he seemed to be smiling at me just now."

"He didn't! Don't be a fangirl."

When the two designers in front of me were quarreling, Wendy looked at the time and asked everyone if we got any questions.

Others began to ask Seth some questions one after another.

Seth answered them one by one.

I could see that the ones around me admired Seth quite much.

At this time, a girl asked, "Vice President Hyde, do you have a girlfriend?"
