Tucker's hair stood on end when he heard Patrick’s jeering voice. He couldn't help asking, "Mr. Hopper, you, you must have misunderstood something, haven't you?
To be honest, I was just fooling around with Fawzia. What she had done before has nothing to do with me. If I knew what was on her mind, I'd definitely stop her!"
Tucker said excitedly, but Patrick was calm and even wanted to laugh.
Then, Tucker concluded, "Mr. Hopper, I have already broken up with Fawzia. From today on, she and I have nothing to do with each other and her affairs have nothing to do with me! I am only loyal to you!"
If it weren't for Patrick's imposing manner, Tucker would have rushed to the desk to hold Patrick’s hand and showed him his loyalty.
Patrick looked at him with a faint smile, "It seems that you are very satisfied with my arrangement, huh?"
Tucker nodded hard. "Of course I'm satisfied! Fawzia deserved to be treated like this after what she had done. Even if you didn't punish her, I'd definitely punish her myself!"
"Really?" Patrick picked his lips and said meaningfully, "Anyone can say words like this."
Tucker was not a fool. Especially in this situation where he needed to keep himself safe, his brain turned faster. After analyzing the deep meaning of Patrick's words in a few moments, he patted his chest and promised, "Mr. Hopper, I am willing to show my loyalty to you with practical actions!"
"Okay." Patrick gave him a look of trust. "I believe in you."
Tucker heaved a sigh of relief. "Then... Mr. Hopper, is there anything else you want me to do?"
Patrick's eyes turned cold. "Didn't you say you're going to do something? Why are you asking me now?"
Tucker was taken aback. He quickly slapped himself on the lips and said, "Yes, yes, yes! It's all my idea. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Hopper!"
Patrick nodded slightly.
Tucker said as if sitting on pins and needles, "Mr. Hopper, my report is done. I won't delay your work any longer. I'll go first."
"Hmm," Patrick answered.
Tucker immediately stood up, pushed the chair back to its original position, and then left without looking back.
This was too terrifying! He had to leave this place immediately!
Tucker seemed to be running very fast, but unexpectedly, he ran into the secretary as soon as he went out!
He didn't know if the secretary had reported to Mr. Hopper after she saw him acting intimately with Fawzia in the secretary's office.
Maybe she did. Otherwise, Mr. Hopper wouldn't be so eccentric and even hinted at him to make things difficult for Fawzia. But even if she did, he had to pretend that nothing had happened and try to get close to her. What the f*ck!
Although he thought so, Tucker dared not to say anything. "Miss secretary, did you have a good rest?"
"...Hmm?" The secretary was surprised at first, and then she understood why Tucker was so obsequious.
He must be afraid that Fawzia would get him into trouble, or he was afraid that she would mention the intimate interaction between Fawzia and him in front of Mr. Hopper, so he was so anxious that he talked to her respectfully.
After thinking it through, the secretary looked at Tucker with disdain in her eyes. "Tucker, you, what are you here for...?"
Tucker rubbed his hands together and said, "I'm here to visit Mr. Hopper. Since you weren't here just now, I went straight to knock on Mr. Hopper's office. I hope you won't mind!"
She couldn't afford to offend the first three, but Tucker... she was not willing to let him go just like that!
"Huh?" At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded at the door of the toilet, which scared Fawzia so much that her face turned blue. She kicked out the plastic barrel at her feet subconsciously, and the cleaning tools inside rolled out.
The voice continued, "Fawzia, it's you. Aren't you from the secretary department? Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Fawzia's face twisted, and then she glared at the person unhappily. "The secretary's department's toilet is blocked, I come here to use the toilet!"
"Oh, I see..." The person who asked the question exchanged a look with his friends behind him and continued, "Why did you kick the bucket for nothing? Did it provoke you?"
Fawzia's fierce expression suddenly became extremely bad.
She didn't want to admit it in front of the people from the sales department because she couldn't bear the subsequent ridicule!
In a hurry, she found an excuse. "It's an an eyesore!"
After finishing her words, Fawzia turned around and pretended to open the tap and wash her hands. Then she skipped drying her hands and walked past the person in front of her to leave.
As for the things on the ground, she did not care anymore. As long as she could escape from this disaster.
"Hey, why is there a set of cleaning clothes here?" Things did not go as she wished. "Fawzia, your name is printed on it."
Hearing this, Fawzia's face was burning, and she didn't know what to do!
What made her even more ashamed was that Tucker suddenly appeared in a hurry. The moment when they looked at each other, Fawzia thought that he was here to help her, but soon she knew that she was wrong.
