“Since you messed with me, you should be prepared to be my slave. No one can go against me.” Shaun was expressionless, but his words were infuriating.
Cate took her bag and left while Elle followed after her.
On the way to the company, no matter how quickly Cate drove, Elle easily caught up with her.
At the parking lot, Cate got out of the car and Elle swiftly followed her from behind.
“Elle, can you stop following me? I won’t go to the hospital.” Cate walked up to Elle. Truthfully, she had a good impression of this bodyguard.
“I’m sorry, this is Young Master Lyons’s order.”
“Did Shaun hire you? How much does he give you? I’ll give you double.” Cate took out a card from her bag.
Elle was indifferent. “Miss Cox, it doesn’t matter how much you give me. I was trained by the Lyons family. I only work for them.”
Cate was stunned. Did the Lyons family have a lot of people like Elle? The Lyons family seemed to be more unfathomable than she thought. “So you must have been with Shaun for a long time. In that case, do you know someone called Sarah?”
A ripple suddenly flashed in Elle’s calm eyes. Although it disappeared instantly, Cate still saw it clearly. “I heard Shaun talk about her that day. She must be his ex-girlfriend. Were they very affectionate?”
“Miss Cox, that’s all in the past. Young Master Lyons only has you in his heart now,” Elle quickly said.
“Is that so?” Cate smiled self-deprecatingly. She was just testing Elle, but Elle’s answer only made her certain that Shaun really did have an ex-girlfriend called Sarah.
He had called her name out when he was drunk. How was it possible that Cate was the only one in his heart now?
“Elle, thank you for telling me this.”
She turned and went upstairs.
Elle followed her helplessly. She really envied the other tasks Liona had. Meanwhile, she was stuck here protecting the boss’ woman. Being sandwiched between them was like walking on thin ice.
…
The next day, 4:30 p.m.
Mireya came out after visiting Wesley, feeling pity in her heart.
If she had not mistaken another person for him in the first place, those two would have gotten together already. Then Wesley would not have lost a kidney either.
However, there was no use crying over spilled milk now.
She took out her phone and called Patrick. “Patrick, are you going to pick my parents up, or are you going straight to Jadeite Restaurant?
“I’m having a meeting at the company which might go on until 5:30. I’ll drive there directly later. Help me apologize to your parents for me,” Patrick said in a soft tone.
“It’s okay, but you can’t be late. My dad hates people who don’t keep their word.”
“Don’t worry, it’s a matter of my life. I definitely won’t be late. I’ve already prepared a gift that your parents will like. We’ll book our marriage early, and I’ll marry you.” Patrick smiled sincerely.
Mireya’s heart felt sweet as she listened to him.
After hanging up, she drove to pick up her parents and then went to Jadeite Restaurant.
It was exactly 5:30 p.m. when she arrived. After she ordered the food, her elder brother Forrest arrived.
At 6:00 p.m., Patrick still had not shown up. Mireya’s dad got a little impatient, saying, “Why isn’t he here yet? It’s not right to make us elders wait for him.”
Mireya said, “Dad, it’s rush hour now. There’s probably heavy traffic on the road.”
Her mother nodded and agreed. “The company has a lot of things to be settled at the end of the year, so it’s understandable. Just be more patient.”
Mireya called Patrick, but he did not pick up. “He must not be picking up because he’s almost here.”
After another half an hour, her father lost his temper. “It’s his first meeting with us but he stood us up. Even calling him is useless. I don’t think he’s sincere at all. I won’t agree to let you marry him.”
This time, her mother did not say anything, and Forrest also had a steely face. “Break it off with him. It’s not like there are no other men in the world.”
Mireya paled. In the face of her family’s accusations, she forced herself not to shed tears. She simply felt very disappointed and embarrassed.
In the past, he had stood her up countless times, but now, he even missed the first meeting with her parents. Did he really love her?
Her mother sighed. “Mireya, the most important thing in a woman’s life is to find a man who is wholeheartedly good to you. You’re still young, so don’t rush to settle down. Now, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
Throughout the meal, it was like she was chewing on wax.
Until the end, Patrick did not call even once to explain.
After parting with her family, she drove to Patrick’s company.
His office was already dark.
She began to feel a little anxious. She was worried that Patrick had gotten into a car accident or something.
However, she did not know the numbers of Patrick’s parents. After hesitating for a moment, she called Linda.
She did not expect that the person who answered would be a familiar male voice. “Hello, Mireya…”
Mireya looked at her blurred silhouette on the glass window in front of her and suddenly laughed to herself. Did she look like a fool? “Why didn’t you answer when I called you? Why is Linda’s phone with you?”
“Mireya, I’m sorry. Linda got into a car accident in the evening. I’m in the hospital now. I was too anxious to check my phone earlier,” Patrick said guiltily, “Oh no, it’s so late already? Have you finished eating? Please say sorry to Uncle and Aunty for me. I’ll invite them to dinner next time.”
“…There’s no next time,” Mireya said in a hollow voice.
“Mireya, it was really an emergency this time…”
“Yes, everything about Linda is an emergency. Is she dead? Lame? Doesn’t she have parents anymore? Does she only have you?”
Patrick’s heart chilled. “Mireya, how could you say such things? Did Linda want to get into an accident? Even if you don’t like her, you should at least show some compassion.”
Mireya sneered. “Alright, I’ll ask you a question. Is she dead? Paralyzed? Crippled?”
“Are you done?” Patrick became angry.
“She’s completely fine, isn’t she?” Mireya understood everything now. “Patrick, I’m serious. Don’t come back to me in the future. We’re breaking up.”
“That’s enough. You should know which lines you shouldn’t cross.”
“It’s over. You’ll always only have Linda in your eyes. Yes, you can go to Linda’s side if she has gotten into an accident, but you can’t just completely leave my family behind. You didn’t even call me. Today was an important day for us, but you don’t care at all. In the future, I won’t have any more expectations of you, and I won’t hope for anything as well. I hope we never meet again.”
Mireya hung up the phone and buried her face, crying bitterly.
After crying, she deleted Patrick’s and Linda’s contact information.
She was too tired of being tormented by these two people. In the future, there would be no expectation, no hope, and no pain.
