SWNOVELS Chapter 76: Disappear
Lyndsy continued to check the news on her tablet computer, trying to figure out how Patricia's scandal had been blown up.
But when she turned on the computer and searched for the news again, she found nothing.
‘Has it really disappeared? Why is the headline gone?’ Shocked, she stared at the computer for five minutes straight.Confused,
she shouted, "Why has it disappeared?"
Yolanda, who was sitting nearby, looked at Lyndsy in confusion and asked calmly, "What is it that has disappeared?"
Pointing at the computer, Lyndsy responded in a fit of rage, "Patricia's scandal has disappeared."
Hearing that, Yolanda frowned in disbelief.
She went over to Lyndsy, and as they looked through the webpage, another article featuring Patricia popped up.
Seeing the photos accompanying the article, both Yolanda and Lyndsy opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
"Why is the bitch with Zac?" they both growled at the same time.
Lyndsy threw the computer on the sofa angrily, bit her lower lip hard, and remarked with a ferocious expression on her face,
"Patricia has hooked up with Zac again and again!"
Yolanda was alarmed to see the same fierce look on Lyndsy's face again.
As she was about to comfort her daughter, Lyndsy left the room in a huff.
Seeing her like this made Yolanda worry.
She was afraid Lyndsy would take matters into her own hands and do something illegal. At the same time, Patricia, who was in
her office, was surprised and puzzled when she saw the headline news changed.
‘‘What is going on? This news is still related to me, but this time, it is about Zac and myself.What happened to cause this
change?’’ Before she could figure out what happened, Lily anxiously knocked on the door and entered her office.
Pointing to the news on her mobile phone, she exclaimed, "Miss Sampson, have you read the news?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Patricia's phone lying on the table and then
laughed.
It appeared that Patricia and Zac were still on good terms, and no one could take her place at his side.
"I've seen it.When did you become so gossipy?" Patricia asked as she angrily glared at Lily.
But she couldn't find fault in Lily for doing this.After all, Lily was only concerned about her.
Hearing this, Lily smiled and stuck her tongue out at Patricia.
Walking up to Patricia, she asked out of curiosity, "Miss Sampson, do you plan on remarrying Mr.Reynolds?"
Patricia's eyes widened in surprise, and she arched her eyebrows at Lily .Coughing, she responded, "No, I am not."
She was positive that she and Zac would never be together again.
And their so-called remarriage was just falsified information spread by the reporters.
"Really?" Lily pursed her lips in disappointment.
She thought that Patricia and Zac were such a good match.
Moreover, it was evident that Zac had a crush on Patricia, or he would not have troubled her so much.
"Yes."
Patricia glared at Lily, hinting at her to stop her gossiping and return to her work.
Lily left disappointedly.
However, she believed that Zac was not a reliable person.
After all, rumors were flying around about his relationship with Lyndsyn.
Feeling morose, Patricia pursed her lips as she spotted her colleagues gossiping about her outside her office.
‘When will I stop being a topic of discussion?’ Patricia always hoped that these types of farce disappeared quickly because it
always depressed her.
After a while, she immersed herself in her work again.
Less than an hour later, Lily entered her office with a broad smile on her face and asked, "Miss Sampson, are you busy now?"
Hearing the tone of Lily's voice, Patricia knew what she wanted.
She checked the time subconsciously and said flatly, "It's time for lunch."
Patricia had grown accustomed to Lily inviting her to lunch every day.
Standing up, Patricia tidied her desk.
"What kind of delicious food are you going to introduce me to today?" she asked Lily.
Lily was a foodie, so Patricia didn't need to decide what she wanted to eat so long as she was with her.
"There is a newly opened Japanese restaurant.And we can get a 50 percent discount!"
Hearing this, Patricia nodded her agreement and walked over to Lily.
Linking arms, she said, "Let's go there then and have lunch."
When they arrived at the Japanese restaurant, they craned their necks looking for an empty table.
There were so many guests that it was challenging to acquire an open table.
Patricia was about to turn around and look for another restaurant when a waitress suddenly walked up to her and respectfully
said, "Miss, the guest in Room Six has booked a table for you."
‘Room Six? Who is inviting me this time? Zac? Or is it Kareem?’ Looking in the direction of the room suspiciously, Patricia's
instinct told her she knew the person in Room Six.
However, Patricia surmised that it might be Kareem as he had done something similar in the past several times before.
Suddenly, Lily tugged at the corner of Patricia's clothing.
Fraught with worry, she shook her head slightly.For some reason, she had a bad feeling about this.
Patting the back of Lily's hand reassuringly, Patricia smiled and said, "It's alright."
The waitress respectfully made a gesture and said, "This way, please."
Seeing that, Patricia and Lily nodded and followed the waitress in.
"You didn't expect me to invite you to lunch here, did you?"
Kareem elegantly sat there as if he had been waiting for her all along.
With her expression slightly changed, Patricia hadn't anticipated that Kareem wouldn't want to give up on their partnership.
"Mr.Reynolds, we have nothing further to talk about."
Glancing coldly at Kareem, Patricia pulled Lily by the hand and turned around without saying anything else.
She didn't know what Kareem was up to, but he might be plotting something evil.
He was a shrewd man, after all, and after seeing today's headline, he might have every intention of using her against Zac.
Although she didn't have much contact with Kareem, she knew what kind of person he was.
"Miss Su, please wait a second,"
Kareem uttered with a gentle smile on his face.
He continued, "I just wanted to ask if you have forgiven Zac."
A hint of coldness flashed through Kareem's gentle eyes.
Sneering, she stared at Kareem coldly and responded in a low voice, "Mr.Reynolds, that is a personal matter.It has nothing to do
with you!"
She didn't want Kareem reminding her of the hatred between Zac and herself.
"Please don't disturb me anymore!"
Patricia said in a cold voice and left abruptly.
She didn't want to stay in the same room with Kareem for a moment longer.
Hearing what Patricia said left Kareem full of expectation.
His only purpose today was to remind her of her hatred for Zac.
After seeing the news about her and Zac, he was a little disappointed that such a good tool was not at his disposal anymore.
As his eyes fell on Lily, a plan seemed to form at the back of his mind.
Patricia was able to take a deep breath once she left the restaurant.
Just as she was about to say something to Lily, she heard her scream.
"Lily, are you..."
Noticing the astonishment in Lily's eyes, Patricia followed her line of sight and saw Zac striding towards her, his face twisted in
anger.
Seeing Zac, Patricia couldn't help but lower her head and deliberately looked away from him.
Noticing Patricia's behavior made Lily secretly laugh at her.
She then left the moment she saw Zac's penetrating gaze.
At the sight of this, Patricia became morose and wanted to stop Lily, but her wrist was grabbed by Zac.
Before she could react, Zac angrily pulled her to his Porsche not far away.
