Although Seth was changing the subject, regarding what he said, I indeed had to face it as well.
After all, he had confessed to me in front of many colleagues of mine today. I did have to make the relationship between the two of us clear.
However...
"I'm sorry."
I, who had been pondering on it for a whole day, could only say so in the end.
As soon as I finished my words, Seth pressed his index finger against my lips, "Shh. I know what you are worried about. As long as you stand behind me, never should you be afraid. I surely will protect myself. Only in this way can I protect you."
His answer put me in a momentary trance.
"But..."
As I wanted to remind him that Patrick wouldn't let us go just like that, Seth said first, "You won't get me into trouble."
I had to admit that Seth did have touched me.
I was not sure this counted as a confirmed relationship.
But after that, I would spend 2 days weekly having meal with Seth .
But my colleagues were not friendly to me.
There were even many rumors about why I had gone to jail.
I pretended that I was kept in the dark and ignored them.
However, this could not change my embarrassing situation in the company.
I was Angie's assistant. But Angie had already blacklisted me because of what had happened between me and Seth. Even if I went to talk to her, she would not even pay attention to me.
Without anything to do in the past two weeks, I could only study by myself.
However, I knew I couldn't go on like this. I couldn't get paid by the company without doing anything.
I made up my mind that I should follow Angie from the next day. No matter how hard she tried to ignore me, I would be by her side.
I kept staying by her side for three days.
On the third day, Angie deliberately avoided me. By the time I came to my senses, she had already entered the elevator, I followed her downstairs, only to see that she had already left by car.
When I stood at the entrance of the office building, feeling confused for a moment, Patrick's car stopped in front of me.
