I muttered to myself in my heart, "Don't forget what he did to you in prison. Don't forget your child who died. And don't forget that he turned a blind to Caroline's evil deeds..."
I seemed to be paralyzing myself and making myself more and more determined to go on pretending. Otherwise, the defense line I had been setting up with efforts would break down overnight.
I didn't eat anything and left Towering High Group by myself.
When I came out, many employees were still enjoying their food. When they saw me, they were whispering to each other.
It seemed that they had seen Patrick go out just now.
I couldn't care that much. Then I quickly left Towering High Group.
Instead of going home, I went to an Internet cafe instead.
I figured out my resume using a form there and began to send my resume to different design companies one by one.
By the time I finished sending my resume to almost all the design companies of a certain scale, it was almost in the evening.
I was so hungry that I didn't have any strength to cook at home. So I found a fast food restaurant by the roadside. After I was full, I took a bus home.
Rosy gave me a big house and a bank card with millions of dollars' deposit inside.
Even so, I found them unreal. Besides the money in the bank card, regarding the house in Unit No.1, City Y, I didn't even think that it belonged to me.
I dared not to touch it at all.
When I got home, I opened the door and saw that the light at home was on.
"Pop!" My heart thudded.
I lowered my head and saw Patrick's leather shoes placed neatly at the door.
I changed my shoes, entered the room, and heard sounds of running water coming from the bathroom in the master bedroom.
I felt that I had been fooled by him.
For a moment, anger surged in my mind. Without deliberation, I rushed to open the door to the bathroom and shouted at the one inside, "Patrick Cowell, what the hell do you want to do?"
At this moment, a sight of a naked man appeared in front of me.
As the water drops fell from the showerhead and fell on Patrick's naked body, his strong muscles, perfectly-proportioned body shape, powerful arms, and sexy curves were all revealed in front of me. And I could see them clearly.
I had never seen Patrick's body like this before.
In an instant, I regretted it.
Just as I was about to close the door, Patrick took a step forward and pulled me under the showerhead before I could react.
In an instant, warm water flowed down my head and drenched my clothes!
"What are you doing?"
I twisted my body and tried to get out of his control.
But Patrick held my waist tightly and bent down slightly. Then he looked at me with his profound eyes and asked, "You come in to take a bath, don't you?"
The water vapor blurred my eyes. And I couldn't see Patrick's expression clearly. Instead, I could only feel warm breath blowing on my face.
As all my clothes were attached to my body, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Helplessly, I could only take a step back and turn my head away, "I'm going to take a bath. Go out first if you are done with your shower."
But I heard Patrick say in a slightly playful voice, "I just came in. And I haven't washed my hair yet."
"Then I'll go out."
As I said this, I intended to bypass him.
Patrick grabbed hold of me, "If you go out like this, you'll catch a cold. Why don't we..." Although I had my back facing him, I could feel that he was approaching my ear with his thin lips as he said in a seductive voice word by word, "Take, a, shower, together."
His words made me instantly blushed.
To cover up my emotion, I had to pretend to be calm as I said, "Can you stop fooling me?"
When I spoke, I felt a little cold with the clothes on my body. Feeling a little cold, I just wanted to go out and get changed as soon as possible.
But Patrick didn't intend to let go of me. He put his strong arms around my waist from behind and said word by word, "Honey, you can either take a shower with me or sit there and wait for me to finish my shower first."
