Isaac heard the disconnect tone ringing out from the other end and realized that she had hung up on him. With a frown on his face, he thought, I haven’t even finished my words!
As such, he dialed her number again only to find that her phone was switched off.
His expression darkened slightly. Did she purposely avoid me because she’s worried that I will ask for her?
She’s starting to become more and more willful. He had intended to give her a break tonight, but seeing that she hung up the phone on him first and turned it off, he was significantly displeased.
He tapped on the armrest with his slender fingers and suddenly spoke in a cold voice, “Sorella, we’re going to Snowflake Lane.”
After Patricia hung up the phone, she chuckled gleefully and muttered to herself, “President Arnold, you must not have expected this, huh? Miss Aniston can be quite smart too.”
There is no way I would go to his house! I’ll just act pitiful tomorrow morning and tell him that my phone battery ran out so I had to charge my phone! Hahaha… I finally managed to win against him for once! She was very pleased with that.
Thanks to Isaac’s reminder, she did not end up taking a shower and merely soaked her feet in the hot water. Following that, she applied a facial mask and was about to head over to the children’s room to see if they had washed up and gone to bed.
Pulling open her bedroom door while wearing her facial mask, she noticed a man leaning against the wall and his legs crossed casually in front of her doorway.
He uncrossed his slender legs gracefully as he flicked his cigarette ash naturally with his fingers before sweeping a lazy look at her.
Patricia remained stunned in place and took awhile to come back to her senses. At that point, she realized that this was not a dream and he was indeed in her house.
In response, she lifted a hand to pat the facial mask she had on. “President Arnold, why are you here?”
“You refused to take my call, so I had no choice but to turn up personally.”
At that moment, three little heads popped out from the children’s room not too far from them and they were lined up vertically according to their positions from the youngest to the eldest.
“Hahaha… Mr. Handsome! You look so handsome tonight!” Sylvie’s distinctive laughter rang out.
As soon as the frantic brothers heard her words, one of them clamped her mouth with his hands and the other one dragged her back into the room.
After hearing the click of the door shut, Isaac turned and glanced in the direction of the children’s room.
Patricia narrowed her eyes and thought, This man’s so annoying! I’ve turned off my phone to get away from him, but here he is at my home! Does he have nothing else to do?
“President Arnold, what can I do for you?”
She was reluctant to leave the house right now as she wanted to stay put and catch up on some beauty sleep early.
“I’m not here to see you. I came over for some dessert. Josephine’s preparing some for me.”
“Josephine?”
There was no way Josephine would have done anything without Patricia’s instructions as Josephine was afterall hired by her!
Meanwhile, he looked at her surprised expression and thought to himself, I gave her a tip that’s larger than her annual income from you! Guess whose instructions will she follow?
Removing the facial mask she had on, Patricia revealed a clean, translucent, pearl face. He thought, So that’s what a woman looks like after applying a face mask. Her skin is as smooth as silk.
“President Arnold, take a seat in the living room, then. Josephine will have dessert ready in no time.” She had indeed promised him before that he could come over for dessert.
He lifted his brows quizzically. “Patricia, I reckon Josephine to be a much more suitable candidate as my personal secretary. She follows instructions better and her cooking skills are great too.”
After Isaac said that, he chuckled wickedly and thought, That will teach you not to hang up and switch off the phone on me!
Stunned, she thought, Josephine?
She suddenly realized that Josephine was indeed a great cook and a diligent worker too.
At that moment, Patricia quickly curved her lips into a smile. “President Arnold, Josephine’s my housekeeper, so I need her here. My three kids would miss her very much if she leaves. Let me keep the position as your personal secretary. I promise to do my job diligently from now on.”
