Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 17

After that day, I hadn't seen Patrick for nearly a month.

My life gradually returned to peace. I got busy with my work so that I could numb myself and forget that I had such a marriage.

It was the day for me to get my salary today. Lisa had already shouted early in the morning that I should treat her to a meal after getting it.

In order not to let her wait, I got off work normally, which rarely happened.

As soon as I walked out of the office building, a man in a suit came over and said politely, "Hello, Miss Archer. I am Mr. Cowell's driver. He asked me to pick you up."

It was a time for getting off work. People around me looked at me with strange eyes.

For a moment, I was in a trance, "Mr. Cowell? Patrick Cowell?"

"Why would he send someone to pick me up?"

The driver explained, "The Chairman wants to see you, that is, Mr. Cowell's grandfather."

Thinking of the phone call from a month ago,

I felt repentant in my heart, fearing that Patrick would insult me in front of his grandfather.

However, I had no choice but to go.

Helplessly, I followed the driver into the car.

The driver took me to the Star Department Store first and gave me a silver bank card, asking me to go in and buy a set of suitable clothes.

I didn't want to take over the bank card. The Star Department Store was the highest-level department store in City Y, where people could purchase almost all the goods of world-famous brands.

However, even if I used up the limit of my credit card, I probably couldn't afford the clothes inside.

On the other hand, most of the people who came here for shopping were famous ladies as well as celebrities.

As soon as I, who wore a shabby professional suit, entered the mall, all the shopping guides glanced at me and ignored me.

I didn't mind it. After all, I didn't look like the kind of person who could afford to spend money here.

I walked around the mall and finally stopped at the door of a brand store in the corner.

Because I have heard of all other brands except for this one.
