Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 48

I decided to do my best to make this project work.

Although I had promised Seth that I would schedule my time reasonably and have a good rest.

Early the next morning, I got up at 5 a.m. and arrived at the construction site before 6 a.m.

Before all the workers could arrive, I checked all the materials and checked both the inside and outside of the construction site. Only after that was I relieved.

The whole project lasted for two and a half months.

During this period, I didn't rest once.

In summer, there was no air conditioner or fan in the studio. As I endured the heat in the studio day by day, I almost had heatstroke several times, making a herbal liquid for heat prevention an essential item in my bag.

Finally, the day of handing over the project came.

That day, Patrick, Caroline, Angie, me, Seth, and every one of the Engineering Department were all on the scene.

We inspected and checked the whole project bit by bit.

In the end, every part of the project was proved to be qualified.

I was at ease as well.

However, before we left, Caroline pulled Angie and said, "Everyone has worked hard for my studio in recent days. Let's have a meal together." After that, she looked at Seth and me, "Mr. Hyde, Charlotte, you should come as well. Patrick and I have already made a reservation."

"I'm not going. I wish everyone a good time."

I refused first.

This was a trap that Caroline had set for me. If I went with Seth, Patrick would surely find us an eyesore.

We had managed to complete this project smoothly. And I didn't like to see other issues thus caused.

After that, I turned around and was about to leave.

Caroline ran over, pulled me, and said affectionately, "Don't! Caroline. You took this project the most seriously. I heard that except sleeping, you almost spent the rest of your time here. You have to be there." "Caroline Archer, I wasn't conscientious because of you. Instead, I did so for Glorious Seth Design. What's more, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to be so close to my husband here?"

I knew that if I talked to Caroline nicely, it would only make her continue to put on a show and do something excessive.

In that case, I'd better make my position clear and break up with her.

Anyway, after this project, it was unlikely that we would cooperate again.

After Caroline, who was in an awkward situation, was exposed by me, she became even more embarrassed. Then she explained, "Charlotte, I didn't mean that..."

"if so, don't pester me."

"You should go." Patrick looked at me as he had a somewhat complicated expression on his handsome face. In the end, he added, "I'll send you home after that."

Originally, I was determined not to go there.

But to my surprise, Patrick unexpectedly asked me to go there in person. To some extent, he had come to Caroline's rescue.

Seth stood next to me and said in a gentle tone, "I will go with you to the dinner. How can I let you go home alone?"

His words indicated that he was determined to play against Patrick.

Seeing that Patrick's face was a little cold, I was afraid that he would do something bad to Glorious Seth Design again. So I quickly snapped at Seth and said, "My husband is here. I don't need you."

After that, I walked naturally to Patrick's side and took his hand, "Honey, let's go."

Angie was standing on the side. Judging from the way she looked at me, I could feel the strong killing intent in her eyes.

Originally, I thought Patrick would shake off my hand and say something with disgust or contempt on his face.

But he didn't do anything. Instead, he walked naturally in the direction of the car with me.

It was not until he got into the car that he pulled his hand away and forced out a word from his mouth, "You are cheap."

I was not surprised at his words. And I didn't say much.

We had a meal in a seafood restaurant. Although I was despised by Angie and Caroline and disgusted by Patrick, I stayed close to Patrick all night as if I were declaring sovereignty.

When the dinner was about to end, I left the box with the excuse of urging the waiter to

send us water.

As soon as I came out, Caroline followed me out.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
