Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 73

I stood aside, acting like I was enjoying a good show. But Seth pointed to me and said, "My girlfriend is watching us there."

The girl turned around and blushed when she saw me. Then she apologized to me, "I'm sorry."

After that, she went back to her seat.

Originally, a few colleagues of mine were also staring at Seth. When they heard Seth's words, they immediately turned to me and said, "Wow! Charlotte, why didn't you tell us earlier that you have such a handsome boyfriend?"

"Yeah. Could it be that you are afraid that we will seduce your boyfriend?"

"Don't blame her. If my boyfriend is so handsome, I will hide him from you as well so that he won't be targeted by you, who are so horny!"

Most of the employees in the cafe were college students, who were young.

I got along well with them.

So after Seth said so, everyone just joked with me.

"No. He..."

"Charlotte, what would you like to have for dinner?"

When I subconsciously wanted to deny that Seth was my boyfriend, Seth came over and naturally took my hand as he interrupted me.

At the same time, he made a face and whispered to me, "Don't expose me in public."

At that moment, I suddenly felt that Seth seemed to be younger today and his expression seemed to be the same as the one he used to have at college.

When he was the boss of Glorious Seth Design, he looked weary and exhausted every day.

I didn't say anything else.

Seth bent down, took out a few boxes of chocolate from the bag, and put them on the counter, saying, "Since it is the first time that we meet each other, these are some gifts for you. I hope you can take care of Charlotte more attentively in the future."

My colleagues gathered around him. And soon I heard them shouting, "Wow, Godiva Chocolate! A box of Godiva Chocolate costs hundreds of dollars, doesn't it?"

They all accepted the chocolate and praised Seth one after another. Only after that did

Seth take me away.

When I walked out of the cafe, I was a little embarrassed as I said, "In fact, you don't have to bring them any gifts. They are all very good to me." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"That won't do." Seth shook his head, "I have to announce my sovereignty to them so that you won't declare to them that you're single. Otherwise, they'll vow to be a matchmaker for you one after another and introduce you to the men around them. What if you and one of the men which they introduce to you happen to like each other..."

Seth kept talking.

I looked at him and indeed felt that Seth was in a very good state now. So I couldn't help but say, "You seem to be very happy to resume the position of the head of the Design Department?"

"Yes." Seth nodded, "In fact, I didn't intend to give up Glorious Seth Design at the beginning. But that day, after Patrick lent me the money, he also gave me some suggestions."

"Suggestions?"

"Yes. They are related to corporation management, operation, and marketing, which, I guess, are only some fragments of his experience in managing a company. However, his suggestions make me realize that although I am good at design, I don't have much experience managing a company."

I stared at Seth.

When he talked about handing over the ownership of his company to Patrick, it seemed that he was not angry but happy.

I said, "But Glorious Seth Design was created by you. Now that you've given it to him. Could it be that you didn't even feel reluctant when you gave it up?"

"Of course, I did. But I'm still too young to manage a company. I need to learn how to manage a company secretly for a while." After he finished his words, he raised his hand and touched the top of my head, "Moreover, in this way, I can have time to think about how to pursue you."

"What?"

Seth changed the topic so fast that I didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You and Patrick will get divorced sooner or later, right? I hope that after the divorce, you can think of being with me rather than anyone else."

Seth's words sounded so serious.

I couldn't help being a little absent-minded. "Yes, Patrick and I surely will get divorced."

"However..."

"Seth, don't waste time on me. I will indeed divorce Patrick. But after the divorce, I probably won't get married again."

I lowered my eyes.

"Well, let's think about what to eat now."

Seth changed the subject.

However, when we walked forward, I heard him say, "If you won't get married, I will be single for the rest of my life as well."

At that moment, I felt a little warm-hearted.

After we had dinner that day, Seth took me to an amusement park and caught a big pink leopard doll for me.

Seth sent me back all the way to the entrance of my residential quarter. When I got out of the car, I bumped into Caroline, who just came out of the residential quarter.

"Thud!" At the sight of her, I felt that my heart jumped.

"What are you doing here?" The first thing that came to my mind was that Patrick had taken her to my house. Would he have done that?

Caroline rolled her eyes at me and said, "Why should I tell you what I did? It should be me who asks you this question instead. Could it be that some lovers of yours are living here?" "Lovers? Caroline, do you think I'm a good-for-nothing like you? I have a house here."

As soon as I finished my words, Caroline was stunned, "How could you possibly have a house here?"

"I won't tell you."

I assumed that Rosy shouldn't have told Caroline that she had helped me buy a house with my bonus.

To avoid making things difficult for Rosy, I didn't say anything.

"Charlotte."

When I was about to leave, I heard Seth calling me from behind.

I turned around and saw him holding the big pink leopard doll in his arms and running over from a distance with a paper bag in his hand.

He came to me, handed these two things to me, and said, "This is the chocolate I bought for you. I naturally bought some for you and your colleagues as well."

"Tut. Tut. Tut. Tut." Caroline, who was standing behind me, saw the scene and sneered, "Charlotte Archer, you got such a good back-up."

"I didn't."

Seth glanced at Caroline and ignored her.

Instead, he reminded me, "It's windy outside. Go home quickly now. I'm leaving."

After that, he left.

Caroline thought that she had something on me as she said, "Charlotte Archer, I won't tell Patrick about what I saw if you give me the design film."

"Go ahead and tell him."

After finishing my words, I walked in the direction of my house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Patrick was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

He looked up and saw the pink leopard doll as well as the chocolate in my hands. Then he closed the book in his hand with a somewhat gloomy look on his face as he asked me, "Where have you been?"

"Having dinner with a friend."

It was unknown why I actually felt a little guilty while he was questioning me.

I didn't even mention Seth's name.

"Which friend?"

"Did you bring Caroline here today?"

As Patrick was questioning me, I stunned him with another question.

It was clear that Patrick was stunned. Then he shook his head, "No. How could I?" "I just saw her on my way back. If you didn't call her to be here, could it be someone else? And it's so late now."

I said so on purpose.

However lovingly Patrick doted on Caroline, could he put up with her cheating on him?

But to my surprise, after Patrick heard my words, his expression didn't change at all. Instead, he continued to ask me, "You went to dinner with Seth, right?"

"Yes."

Since he didn't take the bait, I could only admit it.

His face darkened as he said, "I've already helped him out. Don't hang out with him frequently in the future. Otherwise, I'll destroy the Glorious Seth Design whenever I want."
