"Don't tell Chuck?"
Patricia was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why Yvette still wanted to do this. Destroying the Allen family was a clear show of Chuck's strength!
So why did Yvette still want to be an assassin?
There was no need for that.
"Why didn't you tell him?" Patricia asked her.
"Because he's my husband," Yvette replied. She had her own ways of thinking. She wanted to improve herself. If she continued carrying out her tasks without fail, she would be able to continuously improve.
However, Chuck would object to her profession.
Yvette had no way around Chuck regarding this. If he said that he didn't want her continuing it, she really couldn't refuse.
"I understand," Patricia said, starting to see things from her perspective.
Why was Yvette so coy? Was it because she wanted to be independent and not rely on Chuck?
Was that why she wanted to do such a dangerous job?
That was the most probable case.
It was just that Patricia admired Yvette a little bit. Yvette had it much better than her, even though they were both women.
"Thanks. The bodyguard job is now over, please leave a review under my profile." Yvette cared more about this instead. With a high rate of success, her assassination syndicate would contact her for better and better jobs, and her reputation as a professional assassin would only get better. If she kept up like that, she was confident she could be the top assassin.
"Okay," Patricia said.
Yvette nodded, turned around and left.
After Yvette left Patricia, she went to talk to Lisa about the matters at hand.
Patricia was silent. She was lucky Yvette didn't know what she was thinking at that time. It was good enough that she was alive. Yvette was just another way of making ends meet. It didn't matter if she was dead or alive.
She wondered if Yvette knew, would she be angry?
"You're overthinking," Patricia thought to herself. Yvette wasn't a psychiatrist. How could she possibly know what I was thinking?
She would never know.
Patricia felt at ease.
She went looking for Chuck and was ready to get down to business. During the previous night, she had discussed with her parents that she wasn't going to have much time to manage the family business. Her parents did not take it too well.
After hearing what Patricia had to say, her parents were astonished.
They could only agree. After all, Chuck had single-handedly destroyed the Allen family! Also, after Chuck had destroyed the Allen family, she might take over the management of the Allen family's business!
That was amazing news!
Chuck would let her manage most of the businesses. This was a good opportunity to get herself more exposure, and maybe even get closer to the other three families.
Deep down, Patricia couldn't resist this job. She felt that in the next five years, she would be presented with tons of opportunities, and she wasn't planning on wasting them. Five years later, her family would rise up. They might even supplant the Great Four families.
Patricia was elated at the thought.
Chuck came out of the building and happened to spot Patricia outside. He had a feeling deep down that this woman was smart enough to have come here so early.
"Director Cannon," Patricia walked over and greeted him.
When she saw Chuck, she felt a bit of fear in her heart. This man may have looked nothing out of the ordinary, but he had destroyed the Allen family!
"You don't have to call me that. Just call me Chuck." Chuck didn't care about titles. He liked keeping things simple.
"Sure." Patricia nodded. "Well, what do you need me to do next?"
She looked forward to taking over the Allen family businesses, the prospect of all the things she could learn made her excited.
"Manage this hotel," Chuck said. Yolanda had too much on her plate, so Patricia should take over.
Moreover, Chuck had other plans recently. He would let Patricia deal with them one by one.
"Just this hotel? What about the Allen family's..." Patricia asked in a hushed voice.
"You don't have to worry about those," said Chuck. "I'll let my wife manage it."
Patricia's heart sank. How could he do this?
"Oh," Patricia sighed. She couldn't mask her disappointment. Was she going to manage the hotel for five years?
What was the point? If she became a director, she could take over so much more!
This was a waste of her expertise.
Patricia felt that Chuck wanted to teach her a lesson, that he wanted to waste her youth for five years. By then, she would be over 30 years old. Patricia wanted to cry but no tears came forth.
