It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1229 Patricia Had A Crush On Tom (Part Two)

"I'm sorry, but I can't say yes to such a strange request. I'm not in a hurry so I'll just wait for the mechanic." Tom stopped smiling. He didn't like women who were so dominant in a relationship, so he did not want to play this game with her.

"Are you sure? You should know you just rejected a first-class mechanic!" Patricia was now even more interested in him. Other men would have agreed to her request without wavering for a second, but this man who stood before her refused her. She was quite shocked. "Yes, I'm sure. Thank you for your kindness. If you want to play games, just go replace someone else. I'm not interested," Tom said indifferently. He had to admit that Patricia was a beauty, but he liked soft and shy women.

"What a pity! Leena, let's go. He prefers to stay in the cold wind. We should leave him be." Tom had already made himself clear, so Patricia decided to leave. She admitted that she had a thing for him, but she was too proud to beg for his attention. She turned and was about to leave, but was stopped by Leena.

"Patricia, please help him fix it for my sake." Leena held her hands together and looked at Patricia with a hopeful expression.

"Why should I help him for your sake? Who is he?" Patricia stopped, wanting to know his name and their relationship.

"He's one of my brother's friends. Please help him!" Leena didn't tell Patricia his name on purpose, nor did she tell her that he was one of her sworn brothers. She wanted them to spend time with each other for she believed that they were a perfect match. However, if Patricia got to know that Tom was a doctor, she would not give him the time of the day.

Tom frowned at Leena's introduction and turned to look at her. He didn't understand why Leena was keeping his name a secret. But he remained quiet when Leena winked at him slyly. He believed she had her own reasons. Little did he know that Leena was trying to conceal the fact that he was a doctor to set him up with Patricia.

"I should help him just because he's your brother's friend? I'm your friend as well. Why are you not taking my side? You saw how he just treated me!" Patricia stole a glance at Tom. She finally had a thing for a man, but he was not interested in her. It was frustrating. "Come on! Please help him for my sake, all right? Also, you like him. He would never agree to your request. Why don't you listen to me? I have a better idea," Leena whispered in Patricia's ear. She didn't want to be heard by Tom.

"You're right. Since he refused to pretend to be my boyfriend, I'd better be his friend first. I believe he will fall in love with me, sooner or later. After all, I'm pretty, rich and smart." Patricia was more confident this time.

"Yes! Patricia, I'm on your side." Leena giggled to herself. Tom had no idea that his beloved sworn sister was playing his matchmaker.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. You should create more chances for us to date from now on." Patricia tossed back her short hair and walked towards Tom.

"I will by no means change my mind," Tom said to Patricia. Tom didn't know what the two women just said, but his gut feeling told him that they were plotting something. He believed that Leena would bring no harm to him, but he didn't expect her to set up a trap. "Rest assured. Yes, you're a handsome man, but I will not force you to be with me. You don't need to think of me as a dreadful monster. I'll help you for Leena's sake and won't ask for anything in return." Patricia smiled in a friendly manner and bent down to check the engine. She immediately realized what the problem was and smiled haughtily. Quickly, Patricia mended the engine and closed the hood. Then, she clapped her hands and turned to Tom.

"Are you done?" Leena voiced her disbelief. 'Patricia only made a few moves. Is the car really fixed?' she wondered. Tom had the same thought as Leena. He didn't believe that Patricia was capable of fixing his car within a minute. 'She's just a young woman. I don't believe she knows how to fix cars. I'd better call the garage now,' Tom thought. After all, most mechanics were men.

"Why not start the engine?" Patricia gave Tom a mysterious smile. The problem was with the auto ignition and it was easy to fix. However, she didn't plan to tell Tom about this because she wanted him to owe her a favor.

"Give it a try!" Leena elbowed Tom. Patricia knew that Leena had a sworn brother called Tom who was a doctor, so Leena didn't dare to call him by his name.

With a strange expression on his face, Tom opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. He was stunned when the engine started with ease and cast an approving glance at Patricia.

"It really works! Thank you so much!" Tom got out and walked toward Patricia. He had misunderstood Patricia and felt somewhat awkward about it.

"What are you going to offer me in return?" Patricia teased him. Not surprisingly, Tom's face darkened at her words.

"If you still insist on what you asked for, I'm sorry, but I can't do it." Patricia might have helped him, but he disliked her ways. It looked like she had helped him just for what he could give her.

"Haha! I was just kidding. Do you really think I will ask for your love? If you really want to thank me, why not buy me dinner? I don't think it's such an unreasonable request." Patricia still planned to ask him out. She believed that the more time they spent together, the more Tom would like her. Being straightforward would not help her win his heart, so she decided to take it slow.

"It's not an unreasonable request at all. Even if you asked me to buy you ten dinners, I would do as you said. After all, you did help me fix my car. By the way, may I know your name?" Tom felt relieved upon hearing her request. He was really not interested in pretending to be her boyfriend, for he was afraid she might fall in love with him and pester him.

"Just call me Patricia. And you go by?" Patricia looked at Tom with bright eyes. She was thrilled but she kept her enthusiasm to herself. After all, she didn't want to scare him away. Tom was her cup of tea and she would not mind getting into a relationship with him.

"Patricia, we are going shopping, remember? We'd better go now! You can ask him to buy you dinner next time," Leena interrupted them in a hurry. If Tom introduced himself to Patricia, she would definitely lose interest in him. Leena grabbed Patricia's hand and pulled her to her car before she could say goodbye to Tom.

"What are you doing? He hasn't even told me his name yet." Patricia glared at Leena, annoyed. She wondered why Leena was in such a hurry. 'She said she would be on my side!' she thought. 'Since when is going shopping more important to her? She told me to pull over, but now she wants to leave abruptly. What a strange woman!'

"Don't worry. I know his name and number. You don't have to ask him." Leena dodged Patricia's eyes with a guilty conscience. 'I'm doing this for her own good. She didn't even thank me and is glaring at me instead. How ungrateful!' Leena thought.00000000
