Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 41: It's All Up To You

‘What's wrong with him? His sentences are always so clipped!"

As she watched him exit her office, Patricia couldn't help but recall Jayson’s behavior that day.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Patricia and Jayson entered the private room on the first floor of the Glory Hotel.

"You're late!"

Upon entering the room, they were greeted by Zac's statement, indicating his displeasure with their tardiness.

Patricia was left speechless by this remark.

However, from the company's point of view, she could do nothing but placate the situation with Zac.

"Mr.Reynolds, isn't it now seven o'clock?"

Patricia put her bag on the chair opposite and her coat on the back of the chair.

After sitting down, she lifted her eyebrows slightly while looking at Zac.

The table in the private room was large enough to accommodate ten persons at once.

However, there were three of them in the room - Patricia, who was sitting opposite Zac, and Jayson seated beside her.

Looking at Patricia from across the table, Zac couldn't help but feel annoyed at her. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

‘I came here alone, so why did she bring her secretary! What could be the meaning behind this? Is she afraid that I would do something to her?’ But Zac had to admit that Patricia looked really beautiful.

Her light make-up accentuated her delicate features, making her more three-dimensional.

Her arched eyebrows, clear eyes, fair skin, delicate nose, and pink lips were gathered together like a ripe fruit ready for the picking.

Her black working attire had outlined her body perfectly.

After she had removed her coat, her white shirt and tight black skirt could be seen.

Her tall figure was hidden behind her work clothes, but that simply added a little vigor to her aloof appearance.

Her waterdrop-shaped earrings were crystal clear and swung back and forth on her ears due to her movements.

The milky white color complemented the white clothes on her body, making her more vibrant.

"You are one minute late!"

Zac said as he raised his wrist, pointing at his watch, motioning for Patricia to look at it.

Glancing at Zac’s watch and then her own, Patricia said indifferently, "Your watch is one minute too fast!"

‘Patek Philippe, a true sign of nobility! It's just a limited edition Patek Philippe watch! Is showing it off that important to him? Is he afraid that others wouldn't realize that he is rich without resorting to this? Even I have worn a Vacheron Constantin watch on my wrist! But he didn't see me showing it off like him! Just show off! You should get robbed on your way back today! I hope you get robbed or even raped!’ Patricia cursed Zac in her heart.

The thought was so vivid that she could visualize Zac being robbed on the road and kneeling down to beg for mercy.

This mere idea had her grinning ear to ear.

She so badly wanted to join the robbers and hit him when he was down! Patricia thought about the scene from the bottom of her heart.

The notion of Zac being humiliated brought her nothing but elation.

Her smile increased ten-fold while she speculated on this idea.

While she was happily fantasizing about this, Zac and Jayson were startled by the myriad of expressions crossing her face.

They couldn't help but wonder what had possessed her! "Miss Sampson, are you okay?"

Jayson's words brought Patricia back to reality.

He was highly concerned about her well-being.

And given that everyone in the company knew that he was accompanying her today, how would he explain it to them should something happen to her? : "What?"

Patricia asked Jayson.

"Oh.Is something wrong?"

Patricia's face flushed with embarrassment as she looked from one man to the other.

Reading their expressions that looked like they'd seen a ghost, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Glaring at them, she said in a sharp, cold tone, "What are you two looking at? There aren't any flowers on my face!"

Patricia's words made Zac slightly chipper.

'No, there aren't any flowers on her face, but her face is as pretty as a flower, though! Isn't it said that women are like flowers and need to be nourished by men’s love? still lazily playing with his phone before lowering his head in embarrassment.

‘I'm a man! A normal man at that, and I'm only interested in women! Even if the man sitting opposite me is as beautiful as a fairy, I would not attracted to him in the slightest, ' Jayson thought to himself silently.

Seeing Jayson's reaction only made Patricia more frustrated.

She shook her head helplessly and sighed softly.

‘Dear me! Perhaps it is because the world is changing so quickly or because I'm no longer part of that world.But why are all the boys so bashful nowadays? Are they all this quick to blush? No, the man opposite me is just incredibly thick-skinned!' While absorbed in thought, she glanced at Zac.

At this time, Zac had put down his phone but still gave off a lazy vibe.

He was leaning against the back of the chair, with one hand supporting his chin and the other idly knocking on the table.

All of this was fine with her, but when she saw the meaningful smile at the corners of his mouth, her lips reflexively twitched again, but twice this time.

Judging from the smirk on his face, she knew that he must be scheming something!

"Patricia, why did you ask me out today?" Zac stared at Patricia.

The smile on his lips had been replaced by a look of indifference.

"Don't you know why I asked you out today?" queried Patricia, raising her eyebrows.

"How could I possibly know your reason for asking me out? Did you want to talk about the good old days with me?"

Zac quipped, with a smug expression on his face, full of intimate innuendos.

Gritting her teeth, Patricia glared at Zac and said, "Zac, you can talk about the good old days with whoever you like.But I don't have the time for that!"

As she spoke, she withdrew the project plan and contract from her bag and threw them in front of Zac.

She asked boldly, "What exactly was your intention behind this act?"

Without even looking at them, Zac stretched out a finger and pushed the contract and business proposal aside.

With a charming smile, he asked, "What do you mean? It is whatever you think it is! It's all up to you!"

The corners of Patricia's mouth trembled.

'Was he challenging me? Why did he give such an ambiguous response? I have nothing to do with him now, so, how could it be up to me? Will you agree if I ask you to reinvest?’ she thought to herself.

Miss Sampson is challenging and questioning Mr.Reynolds, a leader in his industry, like a shrew.

And he's responding to her flirtatiously, with a voice full of… intimacy!’ Jayson was stunned by their interaction.

Could someone please tell me what was going on here?’ Patricia is indeed beautiful as a flower, but she is definitely a thorny one.

Whoever touches her would surely get pricked by her thorns!’ Jayson became disconcerted after her remark.

There wasn't any other meaning behind his words.

He was genuinely worried about her after witnessing her weird expression and glazed eyesight.

He didn't mean any harm by voicing his concern.

Seeing Jayson's blush, Patricia exclaimed, "Why have you been blushing all day? It's not like you're on a blind date!"

Her sharp words made Jayson's face even redder.

He glanced at Zac from the corner of his eye to see he was still lazily playing with his phone before lowering his head in embarrassment.

‘I'm a man! A normal man at that, and I'm only interested in women! Even if the man sitting opposite me is as beautiful as a fairy, I would not attracted to him in the slightest, ' Jayson thought to himself silently.
