With the difference in status between Zac and herself, it was almost impossible for Patricia to avenge
her child.
But the method Kareem had suggested was one that she could actually use.
Shaking her head, she attempted to stop thinking about it and forced herself to focus on her work.
Although she was not a workaholic, she could focus on it for hours on end once she immersed herself
in her work.
Suddenly, she was rudely interrupted by a loud rap on her desk.
Surprised, she looked up and saw a handsome face looking down at her.
"Why are you here?"
She frowned slightly.She was in her office at the Veyron Corp.
So, how was Zac able to gain entry to her office so easily? With a gloomy face, Zac didn't say anything
but stretched out his hand.
Looking at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, he saw that it was five twenty now.
To his dismay, Patricia hadn't taken his words seriously! He had said that he would pick her up at five
o'clock.
But after waiting downstairs for twenty minutes, she still hadn't come down! After the shock of him
being there wore off, Patricia then recalled that Zac did, in fact, say he would pick her up after work
today.
Tightening her grip on the document in her hand, she said, "I can go back by myself, so you don't need
to send me back."
Now alone with him, she remembered what had transpired between them last night.
She really didn't want to recall what had happened at all, even if it was just fragments of the night that
they had spent together.
Zac's face darkened.
"Don't be so reckless!"
Many other women wanted him to date them, but he wasn't interested in them at all.
He had even volunteered to pick up Patricia after work, but here she was, refusing him again.
If he wasn't worried about her health, he wouldn't have come to a small business like Veyron Corp.! It
then dawned on him that he was actually worried about Patricia.
And this feeling didn't disgust him in the slightest.
Patricia frowned, her cold eyes gleaming with anger.
She shouted coldly, "Get out!"
But how could Zac listen to her and just leave? He frowned but kept his anger in check.
"Get off work now.I'll take you to dinner," he said in a low voice.
Without hesitation, Patricia responded, "No, thanks."
Sparks flew between them as they glared at each other.
At that moment, Zac's phone rang.He answered without checking who the caller was since he didn't
want to argue with Patricia anymore.But what he didn't expect was to hear Lyndsy's soft voice on the
other end of the line.
"Zac, have you had dinner yet? I found a nice French restaurant on Maple Avenue.Let's go and have
dinner together."
Arching her eyebrows, Patricia uttered, "Your girlfriend is inviting you to dinner.You should go meet her
right now!"
Zac hung up the phone decisively and fixed his sharp eyes on Patricia.
"Patricia, why do you have to talk to me in this manner?" he said through gritted teeth as he flew into a
rage.
There was an atmosphere of hostility and tension in the office, which could make anyone suffocate.
Patricia was afraid of him.
She had been married to him for three years, and even though she had loved him, she was also fearful
of him at the same time.
However, she had to resist the urge to shrink back!
"If you are displeased by my words, then you can find someone who is willing to talk to you nicely!
There's no need to waste your time here!" Zac was furious.
Blue veins stood out on his forehead.
He stared at Patricia's red lips and suddenly lowered his head to kiss her.
This was his way of shutting her up from saying those hateful remarks.
His kiss was seductive.
Patricia, who was a clear-headed woman, began to indulge in the kiss.
When she felt that she was hungry, she realized that she had unconsciously wrapped her arms around
Zac's neck.
Shocked, she bit Zac's powerful tongue.
Feeling the sharp pain on his tongue, Zac paused, and she quickly retreated to the wall behind the
desk.
"Why do you dislike me so much?"
Zac asked in a low, hoarse voice when his pain had slightly subsided.
He talked unintelligibly, but Patricia could still understand what he was saying.
Without waiting for her answer, he declared peremptorily, "No matter what you think, only you can be
my woman!"
If he had said that before the divorce, or even before the baby was lost, Patricia would have been
ecstatic.
Now, she was unwilling to be together with him.
"Zac, since we're divorced, we should have nothing to do with each other again.Wouldn't it be good for
us to separate from each other?"
'I have restrained my hatred and isn't planning on taking revenge.So, why wouldn't Zac let me go? Am I
not miserable enough now?’ Zac bypassed the desk, touched her chin with his slender fingers, and
held it firmly in his hand as if he was going to crush the bone.
"We just had sex last night.You are my woman for the rest of your life.And I will never let anyone else
be in a relationship with you!"
Patricia wanted to turn her head away, but she wasn't able to move.
She could only fix her gaze on the ground, as she didn't want to look at him.
In the end, she failed to resist Zac and had dinner with him.
After that, he sent her back home.
Several times she had gotten extremely furious with Zac and had wanted to do as Kareem had
suggested, damned the consequences.
But with Zac's identity and power, he would definitely not be jailed.
However, after doing such a thing, Zac would undoubtedly not pester her again! But she was afraid of
the terrifying methods he might use to exact revenge! After he sent Patricia back, Zac left her house
and drove to his company.
Not long after he arrived at his office, his assistant came and reported to him.
"Mr.Reynolds, the media reporters took some photographs of you and Miss Patricia when you two
stayed together.The news about you both was posted on the Internet.Should I deal with that for you?"
"No need, thanks."
The corners of Zac's thin lips curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
This seemed to have put him in a good mood.
He didn't mind the news about Patricia and himself.
Those media reporters were relentless, though.
They even went as far as spreading the news that he and Lyndsy were in love and misled everyone.
At the moment, he had forgotten that he had permitted and even encouraged the gossip between him
and Lyndsy to spread to this extent.
"Alright, sir."
The assistant nodded.
After making sure that Zac was in a good mood, he put forward another report.
"Mr.Reynolds, Mr.Kareem Reynolds met Miss Patricia at Manly Sutton Restaurant this noon!" Zac
frowned and looked at the assistant pointedly.
"He suggested to her that she should sue you for raping her." The assistant swallowed and lowered his
head.
He didn't dare to go into detail, but that didn't mean that Zac wouldn't understand.
"How dare he!"
Clenching his fists, Zac stood up behind the desk and was about to seek out Patricia.
‘It's no wonder she's been cold to me since this noon! It turned out that she had really found a backer
and had every intention of suing me! She is really as heartless as Kareem! Seeing that Zac was about
to leave in a fit of rage, the assistant took a glance at the pile of important documents on his desk and
uttered,
"Mr.Reynolds, if you argue with Miss Patricia now, she will only keep her distance from you.It's better to
solve this problem from the source!"
Zac squinted his eyes as he looked into the distance.
After several seconds, he turned around and sat at his desk.
"Make a separate list of any cooperation related to the Reynolds Group for me.
And ask the people who keep watch on Kareem to collect and report anything related to him, including
all news of him and any woman he's involved with."
His assistant secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Zac added, "Keep an eye on Patricia."
"Yes, Mr.Reynolds."
