You Are My One and Only

Chapter 252

Patricia fell to her knees when she heard that, feeling embarrassed. However, she wouldn't dare to groan in pain, for she was worried that Isaac would see how terrible she looked. Enduring the pain, she got to her feet and dashed into the lounge before locking the door.

In fact, Isaac had seen her falling to the ground, but he was tactful enough not to go over. He seemed to be in a good mood. As he looked at the index finger and the middle finger of his right hand, he grinned. Then, he pressed a button on the interphone and said, "Come here, Liam."

When Liam heard his boss calling out to him, he felt the urge to resign and escape. Nevertheless, he wouldn't dare to do that, so he could only shuffle toward the president's office.

Before he could enter the room, Sorella asked with a smile, "Why do you look like a mess, Mr. Dorchester? Have you made a mistake or something?"

One of them was the chief secretary, while the other was the special assistant to the president. Both of them were on an equal footing, so they were sarcastic with their words.

Liam shot her a dispassionate glance and questioned, "Where were you just now?"

Sorella's smile froze when she heard that. She had left the office to buy women's underwear just now, and Isaac had demanded that he wanted the sexiest design. Certainly, she couldn't tell anyone about what Isaac had told her to do.

Liam snorted. "You don't want to know what mistake I made. Remember to knock on the door before you enter the room, and don't push the door open without permission."

That was the mistake he had made. He thought it was completely normal that Isaac never responded to him. Who could have expected that he would see the two of them making out when he entered the room? He let out a sigh and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Only when he heard Isaac's impassive voice did he open the door. He then stood in front of Isaac's desk and hung his head low like a student who had made a mistake.

"I'm sorry, President Arnold." He felt that apologizing to Isaac first would calm the latter down.

With his fingers tapping on the table, Isaac squinted and said indifferently, "Arrange a meet-up with Zachary tonight. I have to talk about the land in Eastville with him." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Liam's eyes brightened as Isaac didn't intend to find fault with him. "Alright, President Arnold. I'll make the arrangement now."

Patricia was supposed to deal with such a matter, but it seemed that Isaac was aware of Zachary's feelings for the woman.

When Liam entered the office on this day, he heard some secretaries mentioning that Patricia had come to the office with red roses, and it was Zachary who had personally sent her those flowers.

It seemed that Isaac was aware of it as well. As the love rivals were going to meet, there might be a conflict between them.

Patricia left the lounge after getting changed. She kept her own underwear inside her bag because she didn't want to see it anymore. Nevertheless, she couldn't just throw it into the trash can in the lounge, so she could only keep it in her bag and discard it when she got off work. She then concentrated on work and wouldn't dare to look at Isaac.

On the other hand, the man knew her temperament well, so he never told her to do anything even though he hadn't had coffee in the entire afternoon.

It wasn't until it was time to get off work that Patricia shot him a glance, for she couldn't take it anymore. "Can I get off work now, President Arnold?"

It was 6.30PM, but the man didn't seem to have the intention of leaving.

They were supposed to get off work thirty minutes ago. If the man didn't need her to do anything, she wanted to head home and keep her kids company.

Isaac was still busy with work, so he replied nonchalantly, "Alright, you may leave."

Patricia's eyes lit up, then she started packing up her stuff and picked up her bag before running away.

All of a sudden, Isaac turned to look at her and glanced at her lips. "Take this with you."

There was an ointment on the table. A puzzled Patricia picked it up and wondered what it was for.

I'm not wounded. She batted her eyes but couldn't bring herself to ask the man.

Isaac stroked his nose. "There's a wound on your lips. This ointment will help heal it quickly."

Instantly, Patricia flushed. This guy is once again reminding me of what had happened in the office earlier! She pressed her lips together and turned around to flee the scene.
