Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 46: You Are The Hero Of The Company! 

"Shameless? How could you call me shameless? If I am, then everyone in the world is shameless, too.Otherwise, how would people reproduce?" said Zac in a low voice, arching his perfectly shaped eyebrows.

"You! You're a bastard!"

At the moment, Patricia felt extremely irate and aggrieved.

The first time they'd had sex, Zac was drunk too.

The only difference was that when he'd woken up then, he couldn't remember what he'd done with her.

Now, he was drunk once again when it had happened.

In her mind, she thought he was quite unabashed.

‘Didn't they say that Zac is a man of few words? So, why is he so eloquent in front of me now?' Sometimes, she couldn't even win against him in an argument! Of course, she wasn't the confrontational type, though.

"Patricia, you don't look as attractive now as you did last night..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Patricia angrily bolted for the bathroom, picking up her discarded clothes along the way. Zac looked down at his beautiful, sexy body and thought to himself, ‘Am I not attractive enough for her?' After a while, she donned her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Picking up her handbag, Patricia exited the room, slamming the door shut on her way out.

In a huff, she walked out of the hotel, hailed a taxi, and went home.

After Patricia left, Kareem stepped out from behind a pillar in the hotel hallway.

He glanced in the direction in which she just left and a grin spread across his face.

When Patricia returned to the company, two hours into the workday had already passed.

But she desperately needed to go home and take a shower.

She had washed every inch of her body, dressed smartly in a suit, and then headed over to the company.

As soon as she entered the building, she was greeted by a multitude of stares.

Perplexed, she wondered if something was wrong with her appearance.

But before she left her home, she had checked herself in the mirror.

Her clothes were neat, and her makeup was simple and elegant.

She could think of nothing to warrant these stares.

While Patricia was speculating on what might have happened, she saw Jayson walking toward her.

Jayson approached her and awkwardly said, "Miss Sampson, the president wants to see you."

Patricia nodded and walked forward expressionlessly.

Jayson trailed her as she made her way to the CEO's office.

"Miss Su, last night..."

Jayson badly wanted to explain why he hadn't personally sent her back home, but he was interrupted by her.

"Forget about it!"

Patricia said coldly, but the fire in her heart was about to burn her up.

She had thought that Jayson was a decent man.

That's why she had invited him along to the dinner.

She had hoped that if she had gotten drunk, she could rely on him to stop her from drinking excessively or at least take her home safely.

Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that he would leave her in that bastard's hands and allow him to take her away. Seeing how coldly Patricia was responding to him and the fact that she wouldn't even let him explain himself, Jayson knew that she was furious at him.

But, she had every right to be angry.

After all, he had followed her there yesterday; he was her partner.

So, he was at fault for letting someone else take her home.

"Miss Sampson, I was also drunk last night!"

Jayson attempted to fill her in on the events that had transpired after she left.

He tried to explain that the situation had spiraled out of his control yesterday and how miserable he was when he was forced to drink by the directors.

He wasn't aware of the fact that her predicament was worse than his.

Without saying a word, she continued to walk towards the CEO's office in her high heels.

"Miss Su, I didn't mean to let that happen! Last night, Mr.Reynolds took you away in a domineering manner.And before he left, he trapped me with those directors who forced me to drink..."

Jayson didn't care whether Patricia listened to him or not.

He just needed to get it off his chest, so he continued to complain.

He knew that he shouldn't be blaming others for last night's developments, but he still thought she should be aware that what occurred wasn't intentional.

Jayson lowered his head and kept apologizing to her.

When Patricia heard those words, she stopped unexpectedly, turned around, looked at him coldly, and said in an icy tone, "What if the person who had taken me away last night was not Zac, but someone else entirely? Or the person who had been taken away was not me, but a member of your family.What would you have done then?"

"Well..."

Jayson was stunned!He had never thought about that.

If the man last night had not been Zac but the boss of another company, would he have allowed her to be taken away because he was afraid of that person?

Seeing Jayson lost in a daze and speechless, she glanced at his handsome face before deliberately saying, "A man not only needs to be skillful, but he also needs to be responsible.If a man cannot be held accountable for his actions, can he still be called a man? Since a woman had gone out with you, you were obligated to ensure her safety.But instead of doing your duty, you left her in the hands of another.And then you assumed they would be responsible for her well-being thereafter! To make matters worse, this was someone you saw as domineering! So, your fearfulness led you to forget your obligations towards her..."

She didn't finish her rant, but her meaning was crystal clear.

She didn't need to say the following words because Jayson already knew what she wanted to state.

Turning around without any hesitation, Patricia continued the trek towards the CEO's office.

Along the way, she coldly tossed out the following comment to Jayson, "Just focus on your work.Don't overthink about the other things!"

Hearing her words, Jayson was left speechless.

He didn't expect her to help him cover up his mistakes.

After all, if the president discovered this, the punishment would be more than him leaving the company, especially now that she had become the company's savior.

The only thing he could do now was to help her as much as he could.

Reflecting on this, Jayson quickly caught up with her but fell in line, one step behind her. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

In a low voice, he offered, "Miss Sampson, the Reynolds Group called this morning and said that the funding for the project would arrive in our account by twelve noon sharp."

Patricia halted in her tracks and turned to look at Jayson.

Seeing the mix of seriousness and joy on his face, she discerned he was telling her the truth.

She then spun around and continued onward.

Seeing her respond in this way left him confused.

But he decided to put aside his doubt first and followed her into the CEO's office.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" said Patricia in a low voice as she walked up to the president's desk.

"Patricia, there you are!"

The president was beaming as he raised his head to look at her.

He pointed at the chair opposite and warmly said to her, "Patricia, you are the hero of our company now!"

After she sat down, the president rose, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her.

From the way he was acting, you would think he was in the presence of someone dearer than his own mother.

Patricia quickly stood up and accepted the glass of water from the president.

Keeping her emotions in check, she said, "I'm flattered, but I was only doing my job!"

Hearing what Patricia said, the president was more than pleased.

"Hahaha...I know you are talented, Patricia! And I think very highly of you.You are bound to make some outstanding achievements in your career!"

Obviously, the president was pleased.

Her words were like music to his ears.

The president was overjoyed by how things had turned out, but Patricia was in a terrible mood.

One could even say she was down in the dumps! Lowering her head, she rolled her eyes in displeasure.

She had mixed feelings about how this had all played out.
