Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Chapter 238: Candlelit Dinner



Reporters surrounded Antony, and one asked, “Mr. Swift, what’s your take on this matter?”

Another reporter cut to the chase, “Mr. Swift, on the surface, it seems like BPL won the North Sea Bay project. However, it’s evident that the ultimate winner is Pansy Group.”

Antony’s expression turned grim.

Ignoring the reporters, Antony snorted and walked away.

Watching Antony’s retreating figure, Patrick’s gaze deepened.

Did Jane know all along?

Was everything today within Jane’s expectations?

Even when Candice leaked the bid to BPL, framing Jane, Jane foresaw it all, orchestrating the events in her favor.

This woman was not simple.

Antony, full of arrogance, came with aggression but left in defeat. Pansy Group emerged victorious in this battle.

After the press conference, Jane returned to her seat.

For the “Ice and Fire” jewelry series, she detailed a series of plans.

Since Antony publicly declared war on Pansy Group during the press conference, she had no reason to sit back and wait.

After completing the plan, it was time to leave.

Colleagues around her left in pairs or groups, leaving Jane alone in the spacious office.

She packed her things, intending to go to the CEO’s office to show Patrick the plan.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her, enveloping her.

Jane raised her head in surprise, facing the tall and handsome figure of Patrick.

“Patrick, why are you here? I was just about to find you,” Jane said, looking amazed.

“What do you want with me?” Patrick’s thin lips curled up slightly.

It was rare for Jane to seek him out.

Jane opened the plan, pointing at the computer screen. In a cold tone, she began, “This is about the ‘Ice and Fire’ project, the plan against Love Jewelry.”

“Are you looking for me just for work?” Patrick’s gaze dimmed slightly.

“Why else?” Jane glanced at Patrick and started explaining the plan in detail.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I plan to launch several pieces of jewelry from the Ice and Fire series. Each piece will have a unique logo as a gimmick, and I’ll secretly apply for patents.”

Pausing, Jane continued, “Love Jewelry will surely copy our new products, including those unique logos. Then, we can legally strike them down. In simple terms, set a trap, let Love willingly take the bait, and then catch them all. What do you think?”

Patrick squinted his eyes, his face cold. “It works.”

“If there are no issues, I’ll have people start on it,” Jane smiled, closing the computer.

“About the North Sea Bay project, did you already know about the government’s plan for the chemical park today? Also, did you already know that Candice would secretly leak the bid and frame you?” Patrick suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Jane admitted without hesitation.

“So, everything was part of your plan.” Patrick’s gaze towards Jane deepened.

One had to admit, this woman was indeed formidable.

Intelligent, decisive, ruthless in her methods; she could strike at the heart of the matter with precision.

He admired her.

Caught in a gaze from Patrick, his eyes probing with intensity, Jane’s breath hitched.

Quickly, she averted her face.

“Workday’s over, I’m heading home,” Jane said, picking up her bag, ready to leave.

Just as she took a step towards the exit, a powerful force around her waist pulled her unexpectedly.

Caught off guard, Jane stumbled, falling right into Patrick’s arms.

“What are you doing?” Jane frowned.

“Come with me,” Patrick said in a deep voice, without waiting for Jane’s consent. He took her hand and led her to his car.

“Where are you taking me?” Jane looked out the window, questioning.

Patrick glanced at Jane with a faint expression and his magnetic voice echoed, “You’ll know soon.”

A few days ago, he had prepared a grand proposal ceremony, intending to surprise Jane.

Little did he know that Jane would attend Osborn’s award ceremony, not giving him a chance.

Tonight, he intended to propose to Jane, and it had to be a success!

Jane raised an eyebrow, somewhat exasperated.

What was this man up to now? Being all mysterious.

Thirty minutes later, Patrick parked the car by the seaside.

“We’re here,” Patrick said, getting out and opening Jane’s car door.

Jane stepped out and looked around.

Not far away, the vast sea stretched out.

On the calm sea, a luxurious yacht was anchored.

Jane recognized it; it was Patrick’s yacht.

The last time, Patrick had proposed to her on that yacht.

Now, Patrick brought her here again. What was he planning?

“Jane, this way,” Patrick said, pulling Jane’s hand as they boarded the yacht.

On the yacht, two bodyguards stood on either side of the entrance. Seeing Patrick and Jane, they respectfully said, “Mr. Pansy, everything is ready.”

Patrick nodded faintly.

“Patrick, what exactly are you up to?” Jane couldn’t help but ask.

Patrick curled his lips, smiling lightly, “You’ll know soon.”

He led Jane to the restaurant and sat at the table where he had proposed last time.

As Jane settled down, the lights in the yacht’s restaurant suddenly went out.

“Ah!” The sudden darkness prompted Jane to cry out involuntarily.

She was most afraid of the dark.

“Jane, don’t be afraid,” Patrick’s magnetic voice sounded in Jane’s ear.

He reached out, holding Jane’s hand. “Close your eyes.”

For some reason, Patrick’s voice seemed enchanting, and Jane subconsciously closed her eyes.

Feeling the warm touch of Patrick’s large hand, Jane’s heart calmed down.

A few minutes later, Patrick whispered in her ear, “You can open your eyes now.”

Jane skeptically opened her eyes, finding candles lit all around, their flames flickering romantically.

On the table, there were exquisite dishes, each one Jane’s favorite.

So, it was a candlelit dinner.

Jane looked at the man in front of her, “Did you make such a big fuss just to take me out for dinner?”

“Of course not,” Patrick raised an eyebrow, deeply gazing at Jane. It was definitely not that simple. He had prepared an elaborate proposal for her!
