You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 213

“Don’t tell me she just picked some random guy and got married.”

“With her? Wouldn’t surprise me at all. That’s exactly the kind of thing she’d do.”

Patricia’s eyebrow shot up as soon as she heard that familiar voice.

Theo? Seriously?

“If you ask me, there’s no need to make things this ugly. Just shake hands and move on. Back then, both of you were backed into a corner,” Tim said, taking a slow drag from his cigarette, doing his best to play the peacemaker.

Shake hands and move on?

Yeah, right.

They’d gone way past that. With everything that had happened—lives destroyed, lines crossed—there was no handshake in the world that could fix this.

“You don’t know the half of it.”

Theo was having another rough day. He’d been played again and his mood was in the gutter, so he called up a few friends to go out for drinks.

He definitely didn’t expect Patricia to show up at the same place.

His whole “poor me” act might’ve fooled everyone else in the room, maybe even made them feel bad for him.

But to Patricia, it was just pathetic.

“I heard Ruby’s not running the company anymore and just livestreams from behind the scenes now. What’s up with that?”

Tim changed the subject, shaking his head. In his mind, if you weren’t in management, you weren’t in control of anything.

To him, Ruby was making one bad move after another.

Theo didn’t say a word.

Tim tried to keep the conversation going, but it was all just background noise.

After a while, Patricia had enough. She slipped away, weaving through the crowd toward the exit.

She was almost out the door when she ran into Joseph, rushing in like he was late for something.

He actually looked surprised to see her. “Oh, wow. Small world.”

“Yeah, what are the odds? Didn’t Theo and Tim invite you?”

Joseph shrugged. “They did, but I got stuck in traffic.”

Patricia just hummed in response.

“So, what brings you here?”
