Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 337

Her words made my heart tighten.

Curling up my lips slightly, I said jokingly, "In that case, it won't be good. He has to change. Otherwise, once his wife runs away with another man someday, he won't have time to regret it."

Regarding the relationship between Patrick and I...

The only chance for us to be together probably had come when we lived in the Most Powerful Family five years ago.

However, because of Patrick's self-righteousness, we were farther and farther away from each other.

And we would never be together again.

"You and Patrick..."

"It's all in the past."

Before Nancy could finish her words, I spoke in advance. Turning around, I went to press the button of the elevator.

What had happened between Patrick and I was left behind in the past. And the two of us wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future.

At the thought of this, I couldn't help but be sour and distressed in my heart. Even so, I couldn't change anything, could I? As the saying goes, it's of no use crying over the spilled milk.

In the next few days, Nancy and I officially began to discuss setting up a studio.

And we would start with creating a logo for our studio.

In terms of the studio's logo, both Nancy and I had the same idea. We made a pattern of a butterfly and worked out several designs.

We quickly finalized a plan.

It was a pattern of a swallow-tailed butterfly with two different colors on each side. One was purple. And the other was white.

Regarding the purple color, we chose countless kinds of purple colors. After many attempts, we finally settled on one.

After that, we went to choose where we were going to set up the studio.

Nancy told me that she got an office with cheap rent. After going there to have a check, she found it suitable and agreed to rent it.

After she showed me where the office was, I was stunned.

It turned out that the office Nancy had found was actually the one that Patrick had once found for me.

Seeing this, I subconsciously refused, "We can't set up our studio here."

"Why?" Nancy was a little surprised, asking, "Come in first. Do you know how convenient the conditions here are? There is good public transport. And the layout is suitable. Most importantly, the rent here is very cheap!"

"Then do you know why its rent is so cheap? And who rent it to you?"

As far as I knew, the owner of this house should be Ji. After the incident back then, I didn't pay any attention to this place anymore.

I didn't know whether Patrick had sold the house or not.

"It's an intermediary." Seeing my reaction, Nancy seemed to realize something, "Do you know anything about this house? Alas! Although something has happened here, no one has died in it. I think we who are righteous won't have to believe in superstition. And we don't have to."

Looking at Nancy, I was certain that she was indeed kept in the dark.

After hesitating for a moment, I said, "The point is that the one who got into trouble here was me."

"What?"

Nancy was stunned.

I hesitated for a moment before telling her everything happening back then.

After hearing my words, Nancy looked incredulous, "Then...Then what should we do? Fearing that someone will sign the contract first, besides signing the contract, I paid three years' deposit in advance."

I was stunned.

I didn't expect Nancy to move so fast.

Looking embarrassed, Nancy came over and pulled me, "Patrick should have sold this house. Moreover, we are in a shortage of money at the beginning. It's indeed rare for us to rent an office at such a good location."

"All right."

Since Nancy had paid three years' deposit in advance, I couldn't go back on my words.

Nancy opened the door. Only after I went in did I find that everything inside was the same as before.

Seeing a few large tables placed together, I couldn't help but walk to the table where I used to sit and look at the opposite one.

Patrick had once put his computer there.

He once sat there.

Only a few months had passed. Even so, I felt like it had been a long time.

Nancy seemed to realize that I was absentminded. She came over and said, "You used to sit here before, right? Then you should sit in another place and vacate this empty space so that you won't think of someone." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"All right."

That was what I thought too.

I went upstairs and check, only to find that the office upstairs was also the same as before.

After we two both agreed to set up the studio here, Nancy and I moved everything over.

After everything was ready, the preparation for our studio was almost done.

It was just that we were in short of someone to handle all the paperworks for us.

After discussing with each other, Nancy and I posted a job vacancy on the relevant websites, intending to attract the job seekers' attention.

After all, it wasn't easy to get a suitable job seeker these days.

By the time Nancy and I finished these things, a week had passed by.

Regarding the job vacancy we posted, we only got two applicants. Feeling dissatisfied with neither of them, we didn't expect to get a suitable applicant.

Since our studio was new and little-known, Nancy asked her husband to prepare an interview for us.

In the blinking of eyes, the day when Shelton and I would hold an engagement banquet came.

That day, I told Nancy that I wouldn't go to the studio.

Early in the morning, Shelton told me, "I have to attend a press conference. Let's go there together."

"All right."

I didn't even think about it.

Shelton and I would hold an engagement banquet today.

Shelton and I didn't get a marriage certificate. Even so, we would be a couple after the engagement banquet today.

It was normal for him to take me with him when he was at work.

Patting me on the shoulder, Shelton said gently, "No rush. The press conference will start at 10 o'clock. It won't matter even if we are late."

Although he said so, I knew very well that I couldn't be late.

I put on a gown, put on light makeup, and tied my hair into a bun.

Thinking that I would have to put on new makeup and style at the engagement banquet tonight, I didn't dress up delicately.

When I went downstairs, Emily stood on the side. Seeing me like this, she was stunned for a moment before saying with a fake smile, "Madam, you are so beautiful today."

Being green and inexperienced at dealing with others, Emily didn't know how to disguise herself.

I saw through her fake smile at once.

Taking her reaction slightly, I nodded my head and said nothing.

After passing by her, I heard a disdainful snort coming from behind.

I went on to ignore her.

Actually, I did it on purpose.

In the past few days, the relationship between Shelton and Emily had changed subtly.

Especially when I accompanied Glenn every night, Shelton and Emily would be alone downstairs.

One time, I went downstairs after putting Glenn to sleep, only to see that Shelton and Emily sat on a sofa together.

Without stopping them, I turned around and went upstairs.

In my opinion, it would be best if there were anything between Shelton and Emily.

In this way, Emily could make up for what I owed Shelton.

If Shelton could take a fancy to her and divorce me, that would be a better thing.

I went downstairs. At this time, Shelton, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up. When he saw me, the amazement in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

He came over, took my hand, and said, "Honey, how beautiful you are."

Hearing what he said, I smiled lightly. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Thank you."

I hadn't thanked Shelton for a long time.

And it was because of the agreement between us.

Hearing my words, Shelton leaned over without any deliberation and kissed on my lips directly. At first, it was just a light kiss. However, after kissing me, he seemed not to be reconciled.

Holding the back of my head with one hand, he kissed me more fervently.

This time, although I was psychologically resistant, I didn't avoid him.

After all, we were going to get engaged today.

As soon as Shelton kissed me more fervently...

I felt that someone had bumped into the back of my waist!

As a result, I fell forward and threw myself directly into Shelton's arms.

I turned around and saw Emily standing behind me. With a guilty look on her face, she said, "I'm sorry, Master, Madam. I...I'm too stupid to walk properly."
