"Patricia Aniston, stop your shameless acts, will you? Grandpa made it clear that you should come andcheck out the gowns, so are you coming or not?" scolded Adeline in a blaring voice. Even Isaac couldhear it loud and clear.

Patricia asked him, "President Arnold, can I take a paid leave?"

"In your dreams," he replied nonchalantly.

At that moment, she heard Adeline screaming through the phone and Patricia quickly terminated thecall before keeping her phone. "Thank you, President Arnold!"

That whole family is so annoying. So what if their daughter is going to marry someone? I'm not goingthere to just suffer.

In the meantime, Isaac narrowed his eyes as he finally understood why she hung up the phone.Although he was clueless about the bad blood between the sisters, she did mention that Adeline washer enemy.

The engagement ceremony, which would be held in three days, was merely a show for Hendrick asassurance so that he could focus on his recuperation. However, Isaac's head hurt the moment hethought of this woman before him.

…

It was 5.30PM when Josephine was picking up the three kids from school. As soon as they walked outof the school gate, Scott gave Patricia a call.

It was almost time for her to get off work. She answered the call with delight, knowing that it was herson calling. "Scott, have you guys finished school?"

"Yeah, Mommy. Stellan and I will be making dinner tonight, so remember to come back for dinner later."He hung up the phone after saying that, which had elicited a smile on her face.

Her two sons were a prodigy; they had a natural flair for manifold aspects, including cooking. It was ashame that they rarely cook.

Her two sons were a prodigy; they had a natural flair for manifold aspects, including cooking. It was ashame that they rarely cook.

They would only make something delicious for her whenever it was her birthday and she alwaysenjoyed their cooking because it tasted better than what one could replace at a five star hotel.

Reminiscing the taste, Patricia felt her stomach growling and decided to grab herself a cup of waterfrom the pantry.

She took a sip of it while striding outside only to see another two secretaries heading toward her. Bothof them flinched and stopped the conversation as soon as they saw her.

"Hi, Miss Aniston."

Patricia gave them a polite nod in return before leaving the pantry, after which the two girls continuedtheir gossip again, "Did you see that? She's acting like nothing is happening. She must be a mistressfor a long time."

"I know right. President Arnold and Miss Adeline are going to get engaged this Saturday and yet, shehasn't moved out from the president's office. She's so shameless."

"I bet the future Mrs. Arnold is going to drive her out of the president's office right after theengagement."

At that moment, Patricia entered the pantry again with an awkward smile. "Sorry. I'm not eavesdroppingon purpose. It's just that I accidentally left my phone here."

Then, she grabbed the phone on the counter before looking at them. "Mia, Blaire, I'm afraid that you'regoing to be disappointed because I will never move out from the president's office even if he getsmarried."

For the reason that she could not afford to lose her job. She was going to stick through it until the veryend.

"By the way, you should do a better job at being discreet before speaking ill of someone behind theirbacks. What if President Arnold hears it? You might lose your job seeing that he doesn't like chitty-chatty people around him." With that, Patricia then trod out of the pantry.

The girls exchanged glances before shaking their heads and murmuring in unison, "She's the mostbrazen person I've ever met."

Nonetheless, they did not continue further as they would be a dead meat if Isaac overheard them.Arnolds Corporation paid them handsomely and losing their job was the last thing they wished for.

Returning to her place, Patricia took a glimpse of the man who was working at his desk. He seemed tobe busy with the stack of documents piling around him. He kept perusing them before signing hissignature repeatedly.

She pursed her lips before voicing out her curiosity, "President Arnold, am I allowed to get off work ontime? Something urgent came up at home."

In actuality, she was missing her sons' cooking and would not want to miss the chance to taste thedelectable dishes.
