Noticing her response, Zac beamed.
Nodding in satisfaction, he kissed her harder.
He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her waist tightly as if trying to become one with her.
Stumbling, they fell onto the bed without breaking their passionate kiss.
A romantic atmosphere descended into the bedroom.
Suddenly, she felt a hand resting on her face.
Feeling uncomfortable, Patricia frowned and slowly opened her eyes, Her eyes widened in disbelief
when she realized she and Zac were embracing each other while naked.
Stunned, she tried to recall what had happened last night.
She remembered arguing with Zac at the beginning, but then...
‘Well, last night's affair was consensual, so we have no one but ourselves to blame.’ After a while,
Patricia struggled to stand up.
Her whole body was aching so much that she almost screamed out from the pain.
Zac's lovemaking had been so intense that she almost couldn't get out of bed.
Struggling to get up, she carefully slipped out of bed, picked up her discarded clothes, and quietly left.
For some reason, she felt that she couldn't face Zac now.
Seeing him brought out strange emotions in herself.
Through narrowed eyes, Zac watched Patricia's receding figure.
Seeing her brought a smile to his handsome face.
He watched her leaving without saying a word to stop her.
Now that he knew Patricia a little better, he didn't want to put her in a tight spot.
After all, it was only last night that he had learned of her mixed feelings.
"Patricia, what should I do with you?"
Zac whispered, sighing slightly as he looked up at the ceiling.
It seemed it would take some more time before he could truly make her change her mind and confess
her love for him. Hours later, Zac was enveloped by a jubilant aura in his office.
He was smiling faintly, warming the usually cold office.
Patricia's display of jealousy last night was imprinted in his mind.
He couldn't help but snicker at the thought of her having a crush on him.
Walking into the office, the secretary was so stunned to see Zac smiling that she couldn't help but
tremble.
‘What is going on? How can our unsociable president smile like this? Is this all an illusion?’ Shaking
her head, the secretary walked over to Zac's desk to report on what had transpired yesterday.
"You can go back to work now."
After listening to the secretary's report, Zac, in a low voice, asked her to leave his office.
In fact, Zac hadn't listened to what the secretary had said at all.
His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Patricia.
Hearing this, the secretary widened her eyes in astonishment.
Although Zac had always been abnormal, he was acting weirder today than usual.
In all her years working here, this was the first time she had heard Zac speak in such a soft manner.
She wondered if Zac's change in attitude had anything to do with love.
Seeing the smile on Zac's face, the secretary couldn't help shivering.
She immediately turned around and was about to leave.
However, before the secretary had taken a few steps, Zac called her back anxiously.
"I want you to re-read your report again."
It had taken him a moment to notice what his secretary had just reported, but Zac thought that
something seemed off about this report.
Pursing her lips morosely, the secretary quickly walked over to Zac and reported what happened
yesterday once again.
‘This was definitely the power of love, turning a person of high IQ into a fool,‘ she thought inwardly.
"Has the person in charge of the cooperation between our company and the Veyron Corp been
changed?"
Zac frowned in astonishment.
Remembering Patricia's expression yesterday, he understood now why she looked so morose.
Evidently, it was because of this.
But then a thought occurred to Zac, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.
‘Why didn't she notify me? As long as she asks for my help, I will secure her post."
"Yes, sir," the secretary replied respectfully.
"Because of your wife's scandal, the senior executives decided to change the person in charge of the
cooperation.Jayson, from the Veyron Corp., has now taken over this position."
Zac's face darkened after he heard that.
Rubbing his chin, he seemed to be thinking about something.He then motioned for his secretary to
continue.
"Our company's senior executives didn't choose who would be in charge of the project at the
beginning.It was Jayson of the Veyron Corp.who recommended himself.
Moreover, your wife was supposed to attend the meeting.However, because of her absence, the senior
executives became dissatisfied with her behavior and chose Jayson.The secretary briefly told Zac what
had happened at the meeting yesterday.
Casting a glance at Zac, she noticed his strong, terrifying aura and quickly took a step back.
"Mr.Reynolds..."
Before the secretary could say anything else, Zac raised his eyes coldly.
He then growled, "How dare they take action against my woman?"
Zac clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said this.
At the sight of this, Zac's secretary closed her mouth in fear. A scary atmosphere settled in the office
now.
Trembling, the secretary looked directly at Zac, awaiting his orders.
"Ask the senior executives to come over here now!" Zac scoffed and looked at the door sharply.
The secretary nodded and immediately left.
She knew that things could take a turn for the worse with Zac's hot temper very quickly, so it was best
not to stick around.
At the same time, Patricia was working in her office.Resting her chin on the palm of her hand, she
started feeling drowsy.
Suddenly, she sneezed.
She had sneezed several times today, making her wonder whether she caught a cold from being in the
rain yesterday.
She sneezed again before she could figure out what had caused her ailment.Her nose turned red.
"It seems that I have caught a cold!" she muttered.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she found that she looked listless.
As soon as she finished her muttering, there was a clear knock on the door.
Lily walked in slowly and said respectfully, "Miss Sampson, the president has asked for you to meet
with him."
Giving Lily a firm glance, Patricia responded indifferently, "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and quickly walked past Lily, emanating an aloof aura.
Lily pursed her lips sadly and quickly followed Patricia.
Since the incident yesterday, she had wanted to speak to Patricia, but she was so scared of her intense
aura that she dared not say anything.
"What do you want me to do this time, boss?"
Patricia looked coldly at the president of the Veyron Corp before glancing at Jayson.
Although Jayson was out of line earlier, she knew very well that in work and in business, there was no
everlasting enemy but only everlasting interests.
So, it was understandable hearing Jayson make those evil remarks about her in front of their partners.
What had stung Patricia was finding out that Lily, her trusted friend, was his accomplice.
This little tidbit was what made her unable to accept the facts.
The president of the Veyron Corp looked subconsciously at Jayson and coughed.
"Patricia, how's your relationship with Zac?" he asked.
Hearing that question stunned Patricia.
Frowning, she fixed her eyes on the president in confusion.
‘Why is he asking me such a question all of a sudden? What does he mean?’ Patricia didn't miss the
president's glance to Jayson before asking her that question.
"We don't have any relationship between us."
Looking coldly at the president, she continued, "You know the matter about me very well!"
The president smiled awkwardly upon hearing that and said softly, "Yes, but..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden knock on the door interrupted him.
"Sir, Mr.Reynolds has something urgent to discuss with you," the secretary outside the office uttered
anxiously.
