Chapter 16: His Admirers

The whimpering of the injured dog diverted Jane's attention from the familiar woman. She rushed ito the veterinarian.

The dog's front leg had been grazed by the car before Jane rescued it from harm.

Sitting in the waiting room, Jane noted the time and realized she was running late for work.Contemplating for a moment, she decided to dial Patrick's number.

"Hello?" Patrick's voice, low and chilly, came from the other end.

"Uh, I just wanted to let you know that I'll be running a bit late this morning," Jane sought hispermission for her tardiness. "I hope it's not a problem.”

"Why should I care? You don't need to inform me about such trivial matters!" Patrick grumbled,annoyed.

Monica led Jane by the arm to the CEO's office. She adjusted her appearance, checking herself inthe nearby mirror before knocking on the door. Compared to Monica, Jane looked disheveled.

She had been through quite an ordeal earlier, saving the injured dog.

Her neatly pressed suit had become wrinkled, and there was a smudge of mud on her shirt fromholding the dog so tightly.

Monica's smile brightened as soon as she heard Patrick's alluring voice. She gently opened the dooHowever, her smile froze as she stepped into the office.

Jane followed. She peered over Monica's shoulder and spotted a woman standing in close proximit,to Patrick.

The woman was undeniably attractive, with long, curly chestnut hair cascading down her neck andgrazing her cleavage. Her red miniskirt accentuated her curves and shapely legs.

Her familiar makeup caught Jane's eye. She was the same woman who had nearly run over the straydog and cursed Jane earlier that morning.

"Mr. Pansy, this is our featured product for the upcoming season,” the woman said, standingexceptionally close to Patrick. Her enchanting eyes glistened with infatuation.

Jane finally connected the dots. This woman must be a colleague here, which explained herfamiliarity. She seemed to be one of Patrick's admirers, judging by the look on her face.

Incredible. How many women were captivated by this stoic man? Jane furrowed her brow, feelingdissatisfied as she cast a critical gaze at Patrick. He looked dashing in his handcrafted Armani suit,complete with a furrowed brow and thin lips beneath his high, aristocratic nose. His handsomeappearance made him resemble a Greek god.

It was no wonder he attracted the attention of countless women with his looks and wealth. But hisarrogance rendered him unappealing. Jane wasn't among those vying for his attention, regardless ohis wealth and attractiveness.

The engagement between them was due to be called off in three months, so the attraction andattention he received were of little consequence to her.
