Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 110

I looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.

And I saw that it was a colleague from another group of the Design Department, Paulina Carter.

I used to hitch a car with her frequently. Because I once was assigned with her to deal with a project related to a residential quarter.

We, who weren't familiar with each other, sort of knew each other.

I nodded.

After she sat down, I bowed my head and continued to have food. But I heard her say, "Charlotte, I saw Mr. Cowell pick you up yesterday. And the blessings on the screens yesterday were all for your, right?"

"No..."

I denied it immediately.

"Why didn't you admit it? Others all say that Mr. Cowell is your sister's fiance. But when I saw Mr. Cowell pick you up yesterday, I noticed that he treated you very well..."

Paulina was two years younger than me. She, who had just graduated, was simple-minded.

It was probably because of the people I had got in touch with and the things which happened recently that I was somewhat vigilant. So I looked at her and said, "If that's the case, won't I become a mistress?"

"Huh?"

Paulina was obviously stunned by what I had said.

Then she waved her hand right away and explained excitedly, "That's not what I mean! I didn't think so!"

As she spoke, she suddenly hit the chopsticks. Then one of the chopsticks fell to the ground and rolled to my feet.

I picked it up for her.

Looking at Paulina, who was embarrassed, I was a little shy and shook my head, "It's indeed not me. It's probably not me who you saw yesterday. It should be my sister."

"But..."

I stared at her and said with certainty, "It's indeed not me!"

After all, the news that Patrick and I were so close to each other had spread. Even if Paulina didn't overthink it, someone with ulterior motives surely would make a scene out of it.

Paulina seemed to have realized something.

Then she nodded desperately, "Yes, yes. It's not you, It's not you!"

After getting off work in the evening, I walked out of the company and unconsciously walked to an intersection in front of me.

It wasn't until I took two steps forward that I realized that Caroline was pregnant. In that case, Patrick surely would be with her. Then he surely wouldn't...

As I negated myself, I saw a familiar car parked at the intersection in front of me!

My heart tightened. And I wanted to turn back. However, I subconsciously wanted to go forward.

"No, I can't!"

I told myself that when it came to some things, once I made concessions, I surely would be doomed.

I quickly turned around and went back to the company.

I decided to work overtime.

I sat there and began to work on the effect drawings of a project that I had just been assigned the day before yesterday.

By the time I was halfway through the effect drawings and looked up again, it had been already dark outside. Looking at the time, I saw that it was already past 11 p.m.

Patrick surely have left by now.

I packed up my things and went downstairs. When I reached the intersection, I subconsciously looked in the direction which I had looked at, only to see that the car was still parked there.

The lights of the car were flashing.

In the dark night, the yellow light looked so dazzling.

I didn't go there. Instead, taking advantage of the darkness, I went to a place where he couldn't see me from his car and took a taxi home.

The next day...

And it went on like this on the third day.

For a week in a row, Patrick had been waiting for me there.

Later, I was afraid. So I went for an inspection at the construction site every afternoon.

As for whether Patrick was waiting for me there or not, it had nothing to do with me.
