Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Patrick’s icy and powerful aura hit Jane in the face, leaving her momentarily stunned.

“It’s working hours now. Do we need to discuss personal matters? Besides, there’s nothing personal between us worth discussing,” Jane said coldly and indifferently.

“Is there really nothing worth discussing?” Patrick’s deep gaze landed on Jane’s face, carrying a hint of inquiry.

As their eyes met, the familiar feeling from the man in front of her made Jane slightly lose focus.

She pursed her lips and said, “If we must talk about personal matters, this afternoon I’m going to give my grandfather his first acupuncture treatment. Will you come with me?”

“Mm,” Patrick nodded faintly, uttering a monosyllabic response.

Thinking about Old Pansy’s condition, Patrick felt a bit heavy-hearted.

He hoped everything would go smoothly in the afternoon, and Jane would be able to heal her grandfather.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first,” Jane said, her mind on the North Bay project.

She hadn’t expected the CEO of BPL to be the man she encountered at the airport that day.

He directly told her that things weren’t so simple.

Jane wanted Anthony to investigate Antony’s background. Know your enemy, know yourself, and you can win a hundred battles.

As she was about to turn around, a tremendous force struck her waist.

Patrick’s clearly defined large hand directly blocked her willow-like waist, restraining Jane.

“Patrick, what are you doing?” Jane’s breath hitched as she asked.

“What’s going on between you and Osborn?” Patrick’s brows furrowed, and his thin lips lifted slightly.

Jane frowned.

Before, when she and Patrick hadn’t canceled their engagement, he had always been concerned about her relationship with Osborn.

Although she used to think Patrick was making a mountain out of a molehill, being unreasonable.

But deep down, there was a tiny bit of joy.

Did Patrick’s concern about her and Osborn’s relationship mean he actually cared about her?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing her getting close to other men, he would be jealous.

But now, they had canceled their engagement. Why would Patrick still care about her relationship with Osborn?

Facing the silent woman in front of him, Patrick’s expression tightened, and he asked, “Are you really together with Osborn? He has a fiancée.”

Jane rubbed her temples. “Are you talking about Freda?”

“Yes,” Patrick nodded. “Osborn and Freda have had an engagement since they were children.”

“So what? In Osborn’s most difficult time, Freda followed another man abroad and heartlessly abandoned him. Does that still count as an engagement?” Jane’s lips curled with a hint of sarcasm as she retorted.

“As long as they haven’t formally dissolved the engagement, Freda is still Osborn’s fiancée.” As soon as the words fell, Patrick suddenly reached out his long hand, forcefully grabbing Jane’s chin.

With a little force, he made her raise her head, looking directly into his eyes.

“Jane, didn’t you once say that your future husband must be wholeheartedly devoted to you, with no other woman in his heart? Osborn not only has a fiancée, but he also pursued his boss for two whole years. Why would you still want to be with him?”

Facing Patrick’s icy gaze, Jane chuckled softly. “Are you concerned about my relationship with Osborn?”

“Yes. Very concerned,” Patrick’s gaze deepened.

His gaze was like a surging ocean, capable of drowning a person within.

Jane took a deep breath, meeting his eyes, and asked, “Why?”

“Because I care about you,” Patrick spoke with a heavy tone.

Jane’s heart skipped a beat. What did he mean by saying that?

Patrick bent down, his voice low and hoarse near her ear, “You should know about my feelings for you.”

His warm breath almost sprayed onto Jane’s neck, making it tingle.

The posture of the two at this moment was so ambiguous; Jane couldn’t help but blush.

“What about Candy? Isn’t the person you care about Candy?” Jane’s expression turned colder as she asked.

Seeing her like this, Patrick chuckled lightly. “Jane, are you jealous?”

“We have nothing between us anymore. Do I need to be jealous?” Jane raised her lips, asking back.

Nothing between us…

Patrick’s face cooled a bit.

His eyes suddenly sank, staring at Jane for a few seconds, raising his eyebrows, he said meaningfully, “What if I pursue you again right now…”

Before he could finish speaking, a knocking sound suddenly came, “Patrick, are you in?”

It was Queena…

Before Patrick could respond, Queena impatiently pushed the door open.

In her sight was Jane and Patrick in an ambiguous posture.

“Patrick, what are you doing?” Queena’s eyes flashed with jealousy. She walked over quickly and pulled Jane away.

“Candy, do you need anything?” Patrick squinted with a cold look.

Queena, with a vigilant look at Jane, pulled Patrick’s arm. “Patrick, I really liked the house you showed me yesterday. I’ll personally cook dinner tonight. You should taste my cooking, okay?”

Watching this scene, Jane’s face looked a bit unsightly.

One minute ago, Patrick was talking about pursuing her again, and now he was getting passionate with Queena.

Heh.

Jane raised a sarcastic cold smile, turned and walked away without hesitation.

“Candy, I have to work overtime tonight. I’m afraid I can’t taste your cooking.” Patrick’s gaze closely followed Jane’s retreating figure, absentmindedly saying.

Queena was unwilling, a bit aggrieved. “Patrick, even if you have to work overtime, you still need to have dinner. How about I prepare the meal first, and you can eat after you return to the office?”

Seeing Queena like this, Patrick nodded helplessly. “Okay.”

“Patrick, you must come, okay?” Queena smiled through tears, repeatedly reminding.

Jane returned to the secretary’s office, dispelling the inexplicable emotions in her heart, and sent a message to Anthony: [Help me check BPL’s CEO Antony.]

[Received.] Anthony replied quickly.

[See if he really made his fortune through the underworld business as the rumors suggest.] Jane added.

If Antony really made his fortune through those shady dealings, there might still be some shady business behind him.

Capturing this point could mean victory for Pansy Group without a fight.

But at the same time, it could be very dangerous.
