Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“Miss Huggins, I invited you here not for any other reason but to stand up for you,” Florence sipped her coffee, glancing at Freda.

Seeing Freda’s eyes flicker, Florence signaled to Erica.

Erica understood and spoke, “Miss Huggins, we truly feel for you. We all know it’s Jane’s doing. She deliberately leaked some photos, trying to tarnish your reputation and break off the engagement between you and Osborn. This way, she can openly pursue Osborn.

Jane has a history of such actions. Before, she had unclear relations with Patrick. Despite publicly breaking off the engagement, she secretly kept Patrick entangled. And Osborn, just look at how nervous he is around Jane. Anyone with eyes can see that Osborn likes Jane.

That shameless Jane wants to play both sides, making every man fall at her feet. Disgusting!”

With each word Erica spoke, Freda’s expression grew colder.

Yes, it’s all Jane’s fault!

Jane deliberately broadcasted her scandalous photos during a global awards ceremony, humiliating her in front of everyone.

This made Osborn hate her, insisting on breaking off the engagement.

Her hard-earned reputation plummeted, and now she’s treated like a pariah. Even the companies she signed contracts with want to terminate them, both publicly and privately.

“Jane, I won’t let her get away with this!” The thought of all this filled Freda’s eyes with resentment.

“I heard she’s about to film a new TV series with Osborn, playing a couple,” Florence hinted, “but you know, filming sets are full of intrigue. Accidents can happen easily.”

Freda smiled at the suggestion, stood up, and said, “Miss Doyle, thank you for the coffee. I have to go now.”

Watching Freda leave, a triumphant smile flickered in Florence’s eyes.

If her guess was right, Freda would soon take action against Jane.

Then, she could benefit from the situation.

Jane!

Just wait!

This time, you won’t be so lucky!

Pansy Group.

Jane checked the time; it was almost noon.

The opening ceremony for the new series would begin at two in the afternoon.

After tidying up, she went to the CEO’s office to ask Patrick for leave.

In the elevator, Jane arrived at the CEO’s office on the eighteenth floor.

Recalling the morning when she told Patrick about her leave for the opening ceremony, Jane couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. Patrick’s face had turned icy.

Taking a deep breath, Jane knocked on the CEO’s office door.

“Come in,” Patrick’s clear and cold voice came from inside.

Jane entered.

Patrick sat at his desk, hands tapping on the keyboard, his deep eyes fixed on the computer screen, completely absorbed in his work.

They say men who work earnestly are the most handsome. That was absolutely true.

His suit jacket hung on a nearby hanger, leaving only a white shirt with two buttons undone, revealing his robust chest.

Exquisite and chiseled facial features, like a masterpiece crafted by a divine hand, dazzling enough to captivate anyone.

Jane found herself somewhat entranced.

“Have you seen enough?” Patrick suddenly looked up, interrupting Jane.

“Uh, no…” Jane snapped out of her daze, feeling a bit awkward.

“What? Not satisfied yet?” Before Jane could finish, Patrick deliberately cut her off, his tone tinged with mockery.

Seeing Patrick misinterpret her words, Jane gave him an exasperated glare. “I’m not looking at you.”

“Really? I saw it all,” Patrick chuckled lightly, took a step closer, and pulled Jane into the CEO’s office, casually closing the door behind them.

The sudden proximity made Jane’s face slightly flushed. She quickly pushed Patrick away, cleared her throat, and said coldly, “I’m here to ask for leave.”

“Is it for the opening ceremony?” Patrick, looking down at Jane, asked expressionlessly.

“Yes,” Jane nodded.

“I’ll take you there,” Patrick suddenly spoke up.

Jane was surprised. “What, you’re not against it anymore?”

This morning, he had shown a disapproving icy face.

Why the sudden change?

He even volunteered to take her?

Did the sun rise from the west?

Seeing Jane’s puzzled look, Patrick glanced at her with a semi-smile, slightly leaned down, and in a low, deep voice near her ear, said, “Don’t you want me to behave better? This way, you might agree to my proposal sooner, right?”

His magnetic voice, along with the intentionally drawn-out tone, was both teasing and charming.

Jane’s face turned red in an instant.

Her shy and adorable appearance caught Patrick’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but roll his Adam’s apple.

The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed her tempting lips abruptly.

Patrick’s stormy kiss made Jane’s mind go blank.

Could he please stop kissing her so impulsively?

The familiar and delightful feeling of the woman in front of him made Patrick unable to resist deepening the kiss.

His gaze gradually intensified, and his slender fingers slipped into Jane’s blouse.

Feeling the scorching heat of Patrick’s palm, Jane’s breath hitched. Subconsciously, she pressed down his large hand and forcefully pushed him away. “Don’t do this!”

“Jane, what do you want? What will it take for you to come back to me?” Patrick’s gaze was intense, fixed on the woman in front of him.

He couldn’t wait to have her back by his side, a feeling Patrick had never experienced before.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Throughout his life, he had always obtained whatever he desired.

Regarding women, many had climbed into his bed one after another, but Patrick never spared them a glance.

In the past, his heart was set on Candy, and all he wanted was to find her.

But since Jane came into the Pansy family, his heart was filled with her, leaving no room for anyone else, including Candy.

He wanted her.

He wanted to be with her, have children, and spend their lives together.

He was confident he could protect her for a lifetime, making her the happiest woman in the world.

Yet, Jane kept rejecting him.

Patrick’s profound gaze focused tightly on Jane’s face. His hands held her shoulders, and the usually cold eyes now gleamed with fiery intensity. “Jane, please say yes.”
