Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 40

As soon as he finished his words, his statements made the colleagues around me lament instantly.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Immediately, I was in a panic.

Moreover, I didn't understand why a person like Patrick Cowell would condescend to come to a small company like ours.

When I was at a loss, I felt that my shoulders were warm. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, I heard Seth say, "It's me who chased Charlotte. Didn't we have a deal about that project? Mr. Cowell, did you come here for other things today?"

With a simple statement, he covered up the whole story.

Moreover, he said so in front of all the colleagues of mine. If I don't resist, did it mean that I have acquiesced to the relationship between me and him?

But if I did, Seth certainly would be embarrassed.

Just as I was in a dilemma, I saw Patrick walking up to me and saying, "I'm here to find

my wife."

"Buzz!"

His words blew my mind up!

The colleagues around us all began to whisper!

I could feel that Seth slightly loosened his hand on my shoulder. And it seemed that he was hesitant as well.

"What are you talking about? Patrick, we got divorced!"

It was I who spoke first.

We were in Glorious Seth Design, Seth Hyde's company. I couldn't embarrass him, the boss here!

However, Patrick was obviously emboldened as he said, "Divorce? I didn't divorce you at all!"

I was stunned.

Patrick reached out and grabbed my wrist, trying to get me out of Seth's arms.

But I didn't move at all. I looked at him and said, "Patrick Cowell, our relationship is already like this. You surely had proposed a unilateral divorce."

"Why should I?"

Patrick looked at me. And his eyes were full of mockery.

I knew that if I asked him further, I would fall into his trap!

When I was at a loss, Seth gently patted me on the shoulder, "You should go to my office first. Leave this to me."

I could only do as he said.

However, Patrick's words made my colleagues think ill of me.

His words made them feel that I, a married woman, had deceived and seduced Seth.

After that, Seth went out and never came back.

That day, my colleagues had been "taking care of" me. They stared at me with contempt in their eyes and satirized me verbally. Moreover, after I came back from going out, I found that the coffee on my table had been overturned, making the keyboard dysfunctional.

Or I opened the file cabinet, only to find a crowd of cockroaches crawling out.

At that moment, I was so scared.

But I pinched my flesh with my nails and forced myself not to cry out. Instead, I calmly threw these cockroaches to the ground.

"Charlotte Archer, you are crazy. They are cockroaches. If they are everywhere in the company, will you be responsible for that?"

Seeing me throw cockroaches everywhere, some colleagues were displeased.

I glanced at her and said, "It's none of my business. Whoever put the cockroaches will be accounted for."

In fact, at that time, my eyes were already red. After I finished speaking, I took my cell phone and went out.

When I came to the door, I happened to see Seth coming out of the elevator with a tired look.

But when he saw me, he immediately looked energized and pulled me as he asked, "What's wrong? Did they say something ill against you?"

"No." I shook my head as if nothing had happened. Then I asked, "What did Patrick say to you?"

"Nothing." Seth raised his hand and touched my somewhat messy hair. Then he said in a gentle voice, "I made our relationship clear in front of my subordinates today. Could it be that you want to embarrass me, the boss here?"

I knew that he was changing the subject.
