Isabel pursed her lips and smiled at Patrick.
She had studied Patrick, a noble young man who was different from the nouveau riche. Most of them liked to smile without showing their teeth. She hoped that she could be appreciated by him.
Just as he was praying, Patrick asked, "Do you know how I usually reduce the heat?"
When the people present heard that there was a chance, they slowed down the speed of eating. The difference was that men were full of interest, and women were jealous.
Isabel, who was in the center of the storm, took Patrick's question for granted when she heard his words. She immediately replied with a wink, "I'll listen to you."
"Do as I say?" Patrick meaningfully curled his lips and said, "All right."
Then he stretched the joints of his fingers and suddenly clenched them into a fist, throwing a punch at Isabel!
"Ah!!!" Isabel was so frightened that she hugged her head and shrieked. The rest of the people were also watching this scene in astonishment.
As a result, Patrick's fist flew past Isabel's head, causing her to think that she had been hit. She cried immediately.
"Hahaha!" Hannah, who had just suffered a lot, couldn't help hitting the table and laughing out loud. When there was someone who was more embarrassed than her, the previous embarrassment was immediately reduced by half!
At this moment, Jose didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said to Isabel, "Why are you crying? Mr. Hopper just made a joke with you. He didn't really hit you!"
Isabel heard the voice of Jose from the crowd. She immediately understood and put down her hand...
The man who had punched at her just now was sitting upright in his seat and tasting the red wine gracefully. How could he be as fierce as he had just been?
Hannah continued to go all out to mock him, "Haha, Isabel, do you want to find a mirror to look at yourself? Even your makeup is ruined!"
Hearing this, Isabel looked at Patrick with a sad look. She found that Patrick didn't care about her and left at her will.
This embarrassed Isabel said, "Continue, everyone. Excuse me for the absence of my company." After that, she pulled out a chair and ran away quickly.
"You’re too noisy." As soon as Isabel left, Patrick turned to Hannah beside him and said, "Didn't I tell you to get lost?"
The smirk on her face suddenly disappeared!
"Don't let me say it a third time."
So Hannah also "disappeared".
Seeing that the two seats beside Patrick had been vacated, the girls were eager to have a try but were afraid that Patrick would treat them like how he treated Hannah and Isabel.
All the others couldn't help teasing him. "Mr. Hopper, you're so unromantic!"
Patrick shook the wine in his cup and said slowly, "I have a wife and children. How can I have cheat outside?"
The others said ambiguously, "I'm worried of my sister-in-law's pregnancy. I'm afraid that you've broken your body, so I... Hehe, you know."
Patrick smiled and took off his suit jacket. He threw it on the back of the chair and said, "Thank you for your kindness. But please withdraw your power, or I will be punished by kneeling on the keyboard when I go home."
Hearing that, all the women were almost jealous of Amelia! Having such a perfect man was not enough, and she even punished him to kneel on the keyboard. How could she bear to do that?
F**k!
Why did he keep mentioning his wife?!
At first, the directors thought Patrick was just using Amelia as a shield. They all agreed that Patrick was not in good health and was incapable of dealing with women. So he pretended to have a deep love for that crazy woman in order not to expose himself in front of them.
"Play games?" A group of old drivers immediately began to think, "What kind of game do you play?"
Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of game can it be? It's all played by primary school students."
"Is this a fucking joke?"
Men couldn't understand the romance, but the women present could.
They silently replaced themselves into the role of Amelia, and found that as long as Patrick was willing to accompany them, it was even interesting to play with ants.
"She's just a crazy woman. Is it worth it..." A woman shouted. She couldn't help muttering because she had heard Patrick's wife for a whole night.
Her voice was very low and almost drowned out in the conversation of the crowd. However, Patrick heard it and looked at her in the next second. "What did you say?"
Then, the woman disappeared from Karry
Hotel that very night.
No one knew where she had been taken. They only knew that Patrick's last glance at her was like that of a dying person.
Under the repeated requests of Patrick, the dinner was over before ten o'clock. He paid the bill generously, and then left with his suit jacket, regardless of others' invitation to stay.
After he left, the bosses immediately started to discuss-
"Jose, do you see anything wrong with Mr. Hopper tonight?"
"I can't find anything unusual except that he really really loves his wife very much. What about you guys?" Jose used 'special' words in a row to express his feelings.
