Chapter 62: His Sincerity
Lily blinked in confusion, unable to comprehend why a bunch of flowers was making Patricia so angry.
"Miss Sampson, I shall bring the flowers to your office.You..."
But before Lily could finish her sentence, Patricia interrupted her by raising her hand.
"Throw those flowers away.I do not want to see them!"
Patricia uttered in an annoyed tone.
A trace of anger could be seen gleaming through her clear eyes.
Seeing this, Lily wisely remained silent and exited the office.
She then made quick work of dumping the flowers.
Patricia took this time to put on the silk scarf in front of the mirror.
Now that was the scarf around her neck, she didn't like it.
She really didn't want to wear anything else around her neck, except for her necklace, but she was leftwith no other choice if she wished to keep the kiss marks hidden.
While she was still lost in thought, her phone vibrated.
Checking her phone, she saw a message from a stranger pop up on the screen.
"Do you like the flowers I sent to you? I sent those flowers to show you my sincerity."
After reading the message, Patricia pursed her lips disapprovingly.
Her eyes sparkled with a hint of anger as they narrowed slightly.
‘His sincerity? How could Zac claim that he was sincere? Last night he kept playing tricks instead ofshowing me any sincerity at all! He clearly didn't want to collaborate with the Veyron Corp after all.’ Coldly glancing at her phone, Patricia tossed it aside before starting her work.
Shortly thereafter, her phone rang again, interrupting her work.
She frowned unhappily but picked up her phone to read the new message.
"Miss Su, are you still angry about what happened yesterday? I was in the wrong! Can you forgiveme?"
‘Something that had transpired yesterday? Miss Su? It's possible that Kareem is the sender of thismessage.Only Kareem would talk to me in such a polite tone.’ Patricia couldn't help but sigh.
It turned out that Kareem was the sender of the flowers and not Zac, as she had initially thought.
Taking a deep breath, she calmly looked over the message again and pondered what Kareem'sintentions could be.
‘Yesterday, he had said that the alliance between us was over, but today he is sending me flowers andapologizing.What on earth does he want to do?' Before Patricia could figure that out, the phone in herhand suddenly rang.
Upon seeing Zac's phone number, she quickly hung up the call.
She wasn't in the mood to hear him right now, so she tossed her phone aside.She didn't want to hearfrom either Kareem or Zac.
At the moment, she was annoyed with them both.novelbin
After setting aside her phone, she immersed herself in her work again to distract herself from thoughtsof them.
After working for quite a while, her neck began to stiffen up a bit.
Glancing at the clock on the wall, she realized that it was already lunchtime.
Suddenly, she remembered her discarded phone.
As she was about to pick it up, Lily rushed in.
"Miss Sampson, someone's looking for you!"
Lily appeared nervous.
She gave off the impression that something terrible had happened.
Noticing the consternation on Lily's face, Patricia glanced at her sternly and asked in a low voice, "Whois it?"
"Patricia!"
Zac roared suddenly in a low, menacing voice, wearing an annoyed expression on his majestic but coldface.
Hearing his voice, Patricia calmly looked into Zac's eyes and politely said, "Mr.Reynolds, did youpersonally come to the Veyron Corp.to discuss our cooperation?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she gestured for Lily to leave her office.
Sneaking a glance at Zac's face, Lily looked worriedly at Patricia before she walked out and quietlyclosed the door behind her.
"Patricia, why didn't you answer my call earlier?"Zac asked furiously.
‘This is not the first time she hasn't answered my calls, but every time she refuses to answer thephone, I go into a violent rage.
I almost lost my mind because of this!’ With a faint smile, Patricia stared at him and responded,"Mr.Reynolds, if I remember correctly, we were only business partners.And unfortunately, ourcooperation ended yesterday."
Patricia made it very clear that except for their business collaboration, there was nothing else betweenthem.
Furthermore, Zac had threatened and fooled her so many times before.
So, she had decided to throw their cooperation to the wind.
All she wanted now was for Zac to disappear from her sight as soon as possible.
"Patricia, how could you say that so recklessly?"Zac was furious.
He scowled at Patricia with eyes full of anger, gasping for breath.
‘How could she be so unreasonable? As long as she compromises with me, I will no longer makethings difficult for her.I can make the cooperation between the Reynolds Group and the Veyron Corp gosmoothly.But she isn't willing to make a concession!
The more Zac thought about it, the angrier he became.
He clenched his fists, and the blue veins stood out on the back of his hands.
"Mr.Reynolds, I made myself very clear just now!"
Being fearless, Patricia raised her head and boldly looked Zac square in the eyes. Although thecollaboration between the Reynolds Group and the Veyron Corp was crucial, she couldn't get her futureinvolved in it.
She didn't intend to have any more contact with Zac, but he kept pestering her and making things morecomplicated.
She was at a loss as to what to do to change this.
In order to wake up to reality, she thought that she had to distance herself from Zac and make a cleanbreak from him.
Moreover, she was confident that she would be able to find another company to cooperate with theVeyron Corp in no time with her abilities.
Noticing Patricia's expression, Zac sneered at her, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
"It seems like the Veyron Corp.doesn't want to cooperate with the Reynolds Group anymore.Is thatcorrect?"
As soon as he said this, a sly smile appeared on his face.He then fixed his sharp eyes on Patricia.
"Zac, I should be the one asking you such a question!"
Angrily, Patricia pounded the table and stood up.Biting her lower lip, she scowled at Zac.
‘After we had dinner last time, Zac began to pester me.He threatened me with the intent of getting meto move to the Oakleaf Villa.At that time, he used our collaboration as an excuse to get me to complywith his demands.But does he really intend to cooperate with the Veyron Corp.?' Zac became annoyedwhen he saw Patricia's anger displayed on her face.
He panted and said fiercely, "Patricia, are you really that willing to work for Kareem? I didn't expect youto care so much about Kareem!"
Hearing this, Patricia couldn't help but scoff.
Casting a cold glance at him, she didn't bother arguing about such unnecessary problems with him.
‘His thoughts have nothing to do with me.Besides, I haven't done anything wrong, and I am not afraidof being gossiped about.’ However, she didn't expect that Zac would assume she had hooked up withKareem.
‘He clearly didn’t trust me at all.I have only ever loved Zac, but I am just a lascivious woman in hiseyes.
How ridiculous!’ Taking a deep breath, she put aside all her melancholy and anger and donned herusual cold expression.
Looking at Zac indifferently, she said in a low voice, "Whether it is true or not has nothing to do withyou."
Patricia tried every means to disown him, which displeased Zac to the core.
He flew into a rage and shouted.
"Well, that's good then!"
‘Kareem is indeed a shrewd man.
He has even managed to deceive my wife!’ Zac thought that Patricia was a fool to be obsessed withKareem. He was totally riled up, gasping for breath.
At the same time, he stared at Patricia without blinking.
Not afraid of him, Patricia looked straight at Zac coldly and aggressively.
Then the crisp ring of the phone broke the stalemate between the two of them.
