I was stunned as I said, "How could it be? I'm not you anyway."
I, who knew myself well, was aware that I wasn't overwhelmingly good-looking. Setting aside the fact that I was with Patrick, it was probably because I had been greatly blessed in my last life that someone as perfect as Seth would like me.
"But in terms of this matter, if it is someone else who did this, then this person is most likely to like you. In this way, you will break up with Seth. And there will be animosity between you and Patrick. In this case, won't this person be reaping the third party benefits?"
Lisa analyzed the situation for me in a logical way.
I thought that her words did make some senses.
However...
"I don't have a large social circle. If you ask me to think of a third man, I don't even know who I should choose."
I smiled bitterly at Lisa.
Later, Lisa told me other things, which were mainly about her work and some strange clients she had met.
Her words amused me so much so that I couldn't help laughing.
Time passed by quietly.
Neither Lisa nor I realized it.
Then Lisa and I heard a sharp braking sound coming from the opposite side of the road.
I tilted my head and saw a sports car.
"A Pagani?"
Before I could recognize whose car it was, I heard Lisa say the brand of the car.
At the same time, it was clear that Lisa swallowed hard.
The next second, the door of the car, which looked like swings, rose. And I saw Patrick getting out of the passenger seat and walking to me with a serious expression as if he were going to swallow me alive!
I felt a shiver in my heart.
I stood up, intending to run away at once!
But Patrick walked too fast. Before I could lift my legs, he walked up to me and grabbed my arm, "Why didn't you tell me that you would go out?"
"I'm just having a meal with Lisa."
Patrick looked at me, "What about your cell phone? You aren't answering my call!"
I took out my cell phone and saw that it had been turned off. I tried to turn it on, only to see a tip saying that there was no power.
Seeing me turn on my cell phone, Patrick said, "Don't waste your time. I've called you so many times that your cell phone has been powered off." "Is my cell phone powered off after he called me many times?"
I remembered that my cell phone was fully chagred when I went out...
"Ouch, beauty..."
When Patrick was about to pull me home, another man got out of the car.
The man walked over, passed by us, and went straight to Lisa. Then he put his right hand on Lisa's left shoulder and slightly bent down, "We met each other again. Does it mean that it is the fate that binds us together?"
It was Roger Lance.
Lisa glanced at him and rolled her eyes, "I'll leave first." "Don't, beauty! You haven't told me your name yet!"
Roger wanted to chase after her. But Patrick warned him coldly, "Come back. Or I won't lend you this car."
Hearing Patrick's words, Roger immediately withdrew his legs, stopped chasing after Lisa, and stood beside us at a quick speed. Then he looked at me and said with a chuckle, "We managed to find you in the end. If we can't find you, my brother probably will call the police, asking them to search for the whole city."
"What?"
I looked up at Patrick.
Patrick rolled his eyes at Roger and said, "You are so noisy. Go and drive the car."
"Yes, yes!" Although Roger promised readily, he looked at Lisa's back reluctantly.
Roger sent us home. And Patrick took me upstairs. Along the way, he kept a cold face.
I was very nervous as well.
I wondered why he was angry as I thought, "Is it because I misunderstood him this afternoon or because I didn't pick up his call at night..."
I was even more worried about what would happen at home...
When the door of the house opened, I looked at the room where the lights were on, feeling a little scared instead.
I even wondered if Patrick would lock me up.
Or...
When I was having random guessing, Patrick stretched out his hand and pulled me into the house directly.
At that time, I suddenly became nervous and subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."
