SWNOVELS Chapter 85: Patricia Had A Fever
That's when a strange thought popped into Patricia's mind.
‘If Zac has no interest in Lyndsy, why is he being nice to her instead of pushing her away?’ Patricia mistook Zac overlooking
Lyndsy's behavior as a sign of his love for her.
After all, Zac didn't allow other women to act so intimately with him unless he had feelings for them.
So, Patricia assumed this meant that he cared for Lyndsy.
‘When I was married to Zac before, I could never get that close to him like this.Clearly, Lyndsy is an important person in his
heart.’ When this thought occurred to Patricia, she couldn't help but scoff.
Looking directly at Zac, she said coldly, "Mr.Reynolds, please escort Lyndsy out of my office.This is neither the Sampson family's
home nor the Reynolds Group.This is not the place for her to be acting so recklessly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly stood up, as if there was an inexplicable force supporting her tired body as she
rose from her chair.
With her back straightened, she cast a cold glance at Zac arrogantly.
She wished nothing more than for them both to leave her office immediately.She did not want them in her sight.Hearing her say
this enraged Zac.
Drawing in a deep breath, he angrily asked Patricia, "Is that really your request?"
Lyndsy was confused.
Looking suspiciously at Zac, she couldn't understand his use of the word ‘request’.
Patricia was momentarily stunned.
Then with a sneer, she said, "Yes.Mr.Reynolds.Please leave along with your fiancée!"
Patricia roared through her gritted teeth.A trace of indifference appeared on her face.
Without saying anything further, she seated herself once again behind her desk.
She didn't have the energy to argue with Zac any longer.Wearing a bitter smile, Zac sneered.
"Okay, since that's your request, I'll take my leave now," he said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zac bent down, wiped the tears off Lyndsy's face, and said softly, "Don't cry.Let's get out of
here."
Lyndsy was so surprised by Zac's act of kindness that she forgot she was crying.
Nodding her agreement, she couldn't help but be moved by his sincerity.
Seeing this, Patricia snorted and said coldly, "Mr.Reynolds, please don't disturb my work any further."
Obviously, she was very disgruntled by their display of affection in front of her.
Looking up at her, Zac presumed that she would have shown some trace of concern.
But when he noticed that she had not looked in his direction or taken him seriously, he got pissed off.
He glared at her before turning around and leaving without saying a word.
As soon as Zac left, Lyndsy suddenly came to her senses.
She looked at Zac's receding figure before turning to Patricia and said, "Patricia, did you see that? Zac is infatuated with me, and
I am the only one he cares about!"
Lyndsy then smiled arrogantly at Patricia before leaving the office.Catching up with Zac, she left arm in arm with him.Slowly
raising her head, Patricia fixed her eyes on Zac.
It felt like something in her heart was missing.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over her.
With her vision blurry now, she bent over the table, breathing hard.Her face became flushed.
It was not until she felt a chill penetrating into her bones that she slowly opened her eyes.
Feeling light-headed, she glanced around the room.
Seeing it was pitch dark in the room, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone to light it up.Seeing that it was already six
o'clock, she knew her colleagues had already left for the day.
She was all alone in the office while she was asleep.
Shaking her head slightly, Patricia felt her vision becoming more blurred.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to stand up, but her body was drained of its strength.
She felt a bit terrified in her disturbed state of mind as she sat alone in her dark office.
After several attempts, she finally stood up.
Picking up her bag, she staggered out of the office and made her way to the company's parking lot.
She was hoping she could make it home by herself.
However, as she was about to open the car door, she realized that her hands had no strength in them.
So, she was unable to open the door.
Slumping against the car, Patricia looked around for someone who could help send her home.
But the only person she wanted help from was Zac.
However, right now, Zac was...Remembering that he had left with Lyndsy earlier, she gave up on that thought.
Taking a few deep breaths, she tried to open her car door once again, but to no avail.
Just then, a warm hand reached out from behind her and helped her open the door.
"Thank you for your assistance."
In a daze, Patricia turned around to express her gratitude.She was stunned when she realized it was Zac beside her.As soon as
she was about to say something, Zac interrupted her.
"Are you sure you're able to drive home?" he said while frowning.
‘‘Why is she so stubborn? She has a fever but still insists on driving.Why didn't she call me and ask me to pick her up?’’ This
thought made Zac so angry he became speechless.
He could only glare at her in frustration.
He would have never known that she had such a high fever if he hadn't gone over to her apartment and realized she wasn't
there.
He had then rushed over to the Veyron Corp., only to see her like this.He was almost driven mad when he touched her body and
realized she was burning up from the fever.
"I can drive!"
Looking sullenly at Zac, she stumbled into the car.
When she was about to put the key in the ignition, she couldn't find the slot to insert the key.
Seeing this, Zac pursed his lips in anger.
Stretching out his long arm, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her out of the car.
Before she could react, Zac stared at her intensely and roared, "How can you drive like this?"
He was downright furious now.
‘Why is she always so stubborn? Does she not know how sick she is? How can she think of driving with such a weak body!’
"I can drive," Patricia retorted.
She didn't want to show weakness in front of Zac, nor did she want him to see her in such an awkward situation.
Zac breathed heavily as he stared at her, his eyes gleaming with rage.
He wished he could open her head and see what was going through her mind.
‘How can Patricia still talk back to me at a time like this?’ He couldn't help but think she was too headstrong.
"You can't drive, Patricia!" Zac glared at her.
He really didn't understand why she was always so stubborn with him. Squatting down, he lifted her into his arms.
"Zac..." Patricia wanted to say something, but Zac interrupted her.
"Shut up!" he said in an annoyed tone while casting a sullen glance at her.
He then made his way over to his Porsche that wasn't parked too far away.
Hearing his strong heartbeat and smelling the mixture of cologne and tobacco on him, Patricia opened her mouth to say
something to him.
In the end, she couldn't find the words and said nothing at all.
She just wanted to quietly stay in his arms for a while.
That would be enough for her.
