"Miss Patricia, why did you agree to that man's request? He went too far by asking you to stay away
from your mother!" said Dora as she frowned, angry on behalf of Patricia.
‘’I can sense Dora's concern for me.However, the innocent Dora doesn't understand my world.In many
cases, you can't just let emotions screw up your decisions.’’
"Dora, you should keep your nose out of this.Can you finish applying the medicine now?"
Patricia looked solemnly at Dora as she gave her a warning look.
She was afraid that Dora would accidentally tell this to Zac.
Dora gave Patricia an OK sign to show her agreement with Patricia's words, but in her heart, she was
determined to inform Zac of everything.
She believed that Zac was so powerful that he would definitely be able to help Patricia resolve her
problem.
After applying the medicine, Dora secretly called Zac to report Patricia’s current state.
Hearing what Dora said, Zac, who was sitting in his office, pursed his lips and frowned, a dark aura
exuding from his body.
As soon as the secretary stepped into the office, she felt Zac's unrivaled, murderous aura.
She stopped and looked at Zac from the corner of her eyes while swallowing down her fear.
‘‘Why must I always bear witness to Zac's bad moods?’’
"Sir, here is the document you wanted."
She then carefully handed over the document, mindful not to do anything wrong and make Zac angrier.
After reading the document, Zac nodded and motioned for his secretary to leave.
Taking a hint, the secretary quickly walked to the door but was stopped by Zac before she could exit
the office.
"Come back here. I have something to ask you," Zac ordered firmly.
The secretary instantly knew Zac was about to ask her one of his bizarre questions that she didn't
know how to answer but had to answer anyway.The secretary immediately stopped in her track, turned
around, and looked at Zac respectfully.She couldn't help shivering in fear, hoping that she wouldn't
answer wrongly and incur Zac's wrath.
"What would you like to know, Mr.Reynolds?" asked the secretary, giving the impression that she had
all the answers.
Fixing her glasses, she looked squarely at Zac.
Seeing this, Zac sighed helplessly.
He looked like a young man who had no experience in love and was asking for guidance.
"Let's say a woman has a crush on a man, but she always pushes him away and deliberately distances
herself from him, but now this woman is in a bad mood because of something.Do you think it will be
wise for this man to appear before her and comfort her?"
The secretary's face stiffened, and her jaw dropped upon hearing the question.
'What is this? Although I know that the CEO has been abnormal recently and is always asking some
weird questions, this question is by far the strangest.’’ The secretary wanted nothing more than to
disappear and not be entangled by Zac's question.
After some time had passed, the secretary still gave no response.
Frowning, Zac asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"
Zac then glared at the secretary unhappily.
The secretary felt intimidated by Zac's glare.
Lowering her head, she tried to recall Zac's question while thinking how best to answer it.
"Actually..."
The secretary started to answer but stopped on second thought.
Looking at Zac suspiciously, her intuition told him that this was about the president himself.
Which meant the woman in question could only be the eldest daughter of the Sampson family.
In that case...Zac's penetrating gaze bore into the secretary as he anxiously awaited her answer.
Giving a slight cough, the secretary thoughtfully answered, "It's a fact that no matter how determined a
woman is to reject a man, she still sincerely hopes for someone to comfort her when she is upset.If that
man takes action at this time, there is a higher probability that their hearts will open to each other,
bringing them closer together."
Hearing this, Zac grinned from ear to ear, his face instantly brightening.
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zac's smile.
Thinking of how dazzling Zac's smile was, she couldn't help but feel scared for a moment.
‘’The CEO is getting more and more abnormal!" Zac waved his hand, dismissing his secretary.
Relieved, the secretary hurried out before Zac could ask her any more absurd questions, which would
put her in a predicament.
Leaning back in his chair, Zac speculated on the secretary's answer moments ago.
Thinking of something, Zac slammed his hand on the table in joy.
"Yes, why haven't I thought of this before?" Zac felt very excited.
With a gleam shining in his deep eyes, he clenched his fists full of confidence.
This time, he was going to make Patricia change her opinion of him and win her trust.
Zac's mood improved, and the dark atmosphere that had settled in the room was lifted.
He was so happy he began humming a tune.
In the afternoon, Patricia sat quietly, reading a book.
There wasn't anything else she could do to entertain herself.
Jayson was handling her portion of the work at the Veyron Corp., so she was free to request sick leave
for a couple of days.
Even though she was hospitalized, there wouldn't be any close colleagues or friends visiting her.
As a child, Patricia had been rejected by the other girls of wealthy families, all of whom ignored her and
played with Lyndsy.
And as an adult, she was still rejected by those in her social circle, so she still had no one by her side
to share the events in her life with.
She realized that since childhood all the way to the end of her marriage with Zac, Zac had been her
first friend and the first man she fell in love with.
As a child, she had wondered if she was too introverted, which was why no one wanted to play with
her.
But as she grew older, she realized the world of the rich was not as simple as she had initially thought.
In the eyes of the other wealthy young ladies, Patricia was but a nanny, someone inferior to them who
had no right to speak to them as equals.
Thinking this made Patricia scoff.
In the world of the rich, people were classified as superior and inferior.
Of course, it was those labeled as inferior who were unwelcomed by the lot.
Either way, their rules of the rich had nothing to do with her.
She lived by her own rules and standards.
But no matter how much she ignored them, she couldn't win against them.
What was happening with Giselle was still fresh in her mind.
Slowly closing the book, Patricia realized these thoughts were dampening her spirits.
Looking over at the balcony, she felt like the sunshine would never reach her.
With a hint of sorrow in her eyes, she murmured, "Am I not even qualified to enjoy the sunshine?"
Dora happened to hear her murmur.
Pursing her lips, she felt sad for Patricia, almost as if she knew what Patricia was thinking.
Feeling Dora's gaze on her, she turned around and chuckled.
Patricia thought this cute, innocent girl was very amusing.
"Dora, are you going to cry again?"
A sweet smile formed on her lips as she teased Dora.
Hearing this, Dora couldn't help but wail.
She was grieved to know that Patricia had lived such a hard life.
