You Are My One and Only

Chapter 31

Patricia pointed to herself. “To bail me out?”

She never thought about contacting anyone, which was why she was stunned when someone came.

Darcie felt at ease. “Go ahead. It’s much better to have someone bailing you.”

Then, Patricia pointed at her. “Officer, she’s with me. She’ll be bailed with me.”

Patricia held Darcie’s hand with the intention of leaving together.

Darcie then grinned. “You might want to see who came to help you out before bailing me out.”

“Miss Aniston, please.”

Both officers were so polite that Patricia was slightly puzzled, but Darcie could guess the situation. If it was not Zachary pulling the strings, it had to be Isaac.

It is definitely one of them coming to bail Tricia. She’s damn lucky but doesn’t seem to realize it.

Patricia looked at Darcie. “Wait for me.”

Those words were meant to soothe Darcie’s worries because Patricia would not leave her behind.

As such, she followed the officer out of the interrogation room and into the police station’s office not long after that. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Patricia saw the office board that read that she was in the chief inspector’s office. As she had never been in a precinct before, it was also the first time that her bailor had to liaise with the chief.

One of the police officers then held the door for her. “Miss Aniston, please enter.”

After nodding her head, Patricia entered the said office and saw that both Zachary and Isaac were there and having a drink with a middle-aged police officer.

She was stunned but eventually clarified, “I have really bothered you, Zachary.”

She was sure that Zachary came to bail her out, whereas Isaac was there on work-related matters.

After all, Isaac’s time was worth tens of millions. So, he wouldn’t have the heart to spend it on her, right?

Zachary then approached Patricia and gently tugged her to the left and right while ensuring she was alright. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

The way he spoke revealed his concern for her.

She shook her head. “Darcie has always been keeping an eye out for me. I’m alright.”

Patricia was not injured at all, but the same couldn’t be said for Darcie, whose face was swollen.

Zachary slightly nodded. “It’s all good if you’re not hurt.”

The man seated next to the chief inspector had a dark expression; it was as if the aura of the entire room had dipped to an all-time low.

When the chief inspector saw that Isaac was unhappy, he tried to mediate the situation. “Miss Aniston, President Arnold came to bail you out. I have also learned about the circumstances that led to your fights. You are definitely courageous, Miss Aniston. Although President Lund and his company deserved it, you’ll have to let the law deal with them next time instead of resorting to violence.”

Patricia had been scared of the cops since she was a little girl, so she lowered her head. Such behavior was akin to a child who made a mistake. “I’m sorry, Chief Inspector. Can you release my

friend? Her daughter’s still in the hospital!”

When he heard that, the chief inspector broke into a smile. “Miss Aniston, you can just call me Chief Hawkins. I’m not a hot shot chief.”

He was a gentle person, and since Isaac had personally come to bring Patricia out of the police station, Chief Hawkins had no choice but to consider Isaac’s presence.

“Of course. You can bring your friend to leave with you.” At that, he turned to Isaac and added, “President Arnold, is it okay with you?”

Since it was all about negotiation, Isaac rose to his full height and shook hands with Chief Hawkins. “I’m afraid I have troubled you, Chief Hawkins.”

After he said that, he turned his back to leave the office while Patricia gave a slight nod to Chief Hawkins. “Bye, Chief Hawkins!”

Gosh, I hope we won’t meet again. Even though it’s my first time at the precinct, there’s such a feeling that I can only describe as terrible. Extremely terrible.

Zachary also approached Chief Hawkins to bid his adieu, after which he followed Patricia out of the chief inspector’s office.

Only then did Zachary turn to look at Patricia and notice that she did not sustain any facial or bodily injuries, but someone had ripped off some of her hair.

“Are you acquainted with Isaac?”
