Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 8

Fortunately, Lisa caught the cell phone for me.

Staring at the string of number "9" on the screen, she guessed it right at once, "Patrick Cowell?"

I nodded silently.

The ringtone continued playing.

Seeing that I didn't intend to pick the call up, Lisa said directly, "I'll pick it up for you." After that, she went to press the answer button.

Seeing her move, I was so scared that I immediately grabbed the phone from her and put it beside my ear as I said in a trembling voice, "Hello."

"Where are you?"

The man's impatient voice soon came from over the phone.

With a quiver in my heart, I looked at Lisa and said, "I am in my... friend's place."

"Come home in an hour."

After saying that, Patrick hung up the phone without giving me any chance to refute.

His words were like an imperial edict.

Although Lisa kept telling me I shouldn't do as he said, I dared not do so. In the end, she helped me put on very seductive makeup as she instructed me on some things.

After the call, I knocked on the door of Patrick's villa with one minute to go before the deadline.

He opened the door and looked at his watch, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"What?" I looked at him with my big eyes deliberately.

He looked at me. And the amazement in his expression couldn't be more obvious. But soon, he turned around, pointed to a file bag on the tea table, and said, "Sign this."

"What's this?" I said as I walked over and poured out the document inside.

A credit card also fell out.
