A long while after Freya left, Patrick still had not recovered.
He wondered, ‘If only I had gone abroad to find her back then.’
If it were not for those words Linda said… Linda?
For the first time, Patrick seriously thought about the past.
If Linda had not added fuel to the fire in the police station that day, he would not have been crazy
enough to cooperate with Nathan’s competitors.
As Freya had said, if Linda did not exist between them, maybe they would have gotten married a long
time ago. They might even have children now.
They would not have come to this point.
Patrick could not help but think, ‘If only I had kept my distance from Linda when I was with Freya back
then.’
After returning to the company, Patrick walked to his office door, hesitated, and went to find Linda
instead.
He could not find her.
He remembered Freya’s reminder and opened her drawer. Inside, he saw a beautiful gift box that was
wrapped tightly with a bow. It was clear that it was a gift from someone.
He looked at the brand on the box. It seemed very expensive. A bottle of perfume from this brand cost
several tens of thousands of dollars.
“Patrick… ” Linda suddenly came in and froze when she saw the box in his hand.
“I was looking for a document but found this.” Patrick reacted quickly. “Is this a gift for someone?”
“Yes. Remember I told you that my friend saved you? I owe her a favor, so I bought this for her,” Linda
took his arm as she spoke.
“We should return the favor. Why don’t we invite her to dinner sometime?” Patrick suddenly asked.
“There’s no need for that. She’s quite busy, and her identity isn’t ordinary. She already did me a favor
by agreeing to help you.” Linda smiled. “By the way, I want to bring this gift to her later after work.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Patrick nodded.
After he went back to the office in the afternoon, Linda made an appointment with Rebecca and left the
company.
She did not notice that there was a taxi following her.
Patrick was sitting in the taxi.
He did not drive his own car because he thought that it would be more difficult to be detected in a taxi.
