Finn left. When I went upstairs, Nancy came over and said, "What's the matter? Taking turns to put on a family love show?"
I told Nancy what happened after Katy came here.
So when Finn came, Nancy naturally understood what was going on.
With a bitter face, I nodded. "That's right. He said that if I match the bone marrow, he will give half of his inheritance to me. Who cares?"
I moved the mouse, and the computer was switched to active mode from hibernating. I continued my design.
Nancy smiled and sighed. "Yes, you are now just waiting for Patrick to cure his legs. After that, he will come back and marry you, Mrs. Cowell to-be. Compared with the money of Towering High, Clark Group is really worthless."
My heart sank at her mention of Patrick.
I hadn't thought about Patrick for a long time.
It was not I didn't want to think. I was trying my best to stop myself from overthinking, because whenever I thought of him, I would feel quite sad.
Several months had been passed, but Patrick had never contacted me.
Although there was no evidence, my sixth sense told me that his operation should not have been very successful.
How could I find him in such a big world...
I looked at the computer screen in a daze.
Nancy seemed to have not realized it and continued to say, "Don't worry. In a few months, our new office building will be finished. We'll get a few more security guards. When trouble makers come, we'll throw them out."
After hearing what she said, I came to my senses and looked at her with a smile. "Well, employ some handsome men. We can be cheered up when seeing them at work."
Nancy moved the computer chair and leaned over. She hooked her arm around my neck and said with a smile, "When Patrick comes back, you'll look at him every day. He's such a handsome guy. It'll be boring for you to look at anyone else."
I threw her a sidelong glance. "Don't talk about him, okay? I even don't know if he's dead or alive."
"It won't be long, he'll be back soon."
Nancy patted me on my shoulder.
I looked at the computer screen and kept thinking about who could get in touch with him.
"How can I find him?"
After thinking for a while, I found that Jeremy was the only one.
I saved the drawing, had a word with nancy, and went out with my bag.
I drove straight to Towering High Group.
After getting out of the car, I walked quickly into the lobby. The receptionist recognized me. When she saw me, she bowed slightly but didn't say anything.
I immediately asked, "I want to make an appointment with Jeremy."
"Special Assistant Jeremy is very busy and doesn't accept an appointment."
The receptionist gave me a professional smile.
"There is something urgent!" I didn't want to give up.
The receptionist still kept the same smile. "Then you can call him, excuse me."
In fact, I had already called Jeremy.
He didn't take it at all.
I stood in the hall of the building of Towering High and looked at the people who came in and out. I was a little desperate.
Looking at the gate which was more than a meter in front of me, an idea came to me, but I hesitated for quite a while.
Looking around the security guards, I didn't jump over.
For the unnamed reason, I was getting more and more think of doing things that didn't match my age, even what I hadn't done when I was young.
Maybe I was afraid that I would regret it at old age?
However, I finally persuaded myself to give up climbing over the gate, and then I turned to go out.
I have no choice. Since I can't see Jeremy, I would wait for him downstairs.
At first, I waited at the gate, but I didn't see Jeremy after waiting for a few days. I had no other way but to wait at the gate of the underground parking lot. A few more days later I still didn't see him.
