Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Patrick drove, taking Jane back to her apartment.

“Mr. Pansy, Miss North, you’re back,” Amy greeted them with a smile.

In these past few days, Jane had been in the hospital due to her injury, and Amy had noticed Patrick’s worried expression. Especially during the two days when Jane was unconscious, Patrick seemed indifferent even to the meals Amy carefully prepared for him.

Now, with both of them returning together, and Miss North being fine, it seemed like the storm had passed.

As Jane went to her room to pack, Patrick unexpectedly embraced her. “Your body has just recovered. Go rest,” he said.

“But…”

Before Jane could finish her sentence, Patrick lifted her off the ground.

With great care, he placed her on the large bed. “Rest well, no moving around,” he insisted.

“Fine…” Jane sighed in exasperation.

Originally, she wanted to look into the details of the Paris Fashion Design Competition. Now, she could only do it sneakily while Patrick was at work.

Jane took out her phone and habitually started scrolling.

A notification caught her eye:

?Police Raid Cracks Down on Criminal Organization, Shuts Down Underground KTVs, Bars, and Casinos】

Adonis’s photo was displayed.

Jane glanced at Patrick. “Is this your doing?”

“Of course,” Patrick raised an eyebrow.

Thinking about that night of clarity, a dark glint passed through Patrick’s profound eyes. “I’ve said it before; those who dare to bully my woman are asking for trouble!”

My woman…

This man’s shamelessness knew no bounds.

Jane rolled her eyes at him. “Who said I’m your woman? Your face is thicker than a city wall!”

Suddenly, Patrick leaned in, chuckled softly, and said, “Soon.”

The abrupt closeness made Jane blush, and she quickly turned her face away.

Glancing at the clock, Jane said, “It’s late; you should go to work…”

“I’ll stay with you,” Patrick was still concerned.

“I’m fine now. You haven’t been to the office for several days; you should go!” Jane pushed Patrick out.

Patrick had a dark expression.

Did this woman really not appreciate him?

After all, he had just saved her and taken care of her in the hospital for so many days!

Such an ungrateful little thing.

“Then I’ll go. Call me if you need anything,” Patrick said in a low voice.

“Got it!” Jane nodded.

Seeing Patrick finally leaving, Jane breathed a sigh of relief. She opened her computer and started reviewing the information Nana had sent her about the Paris Fashion Design Competition.

Jane clicked on a video, an interview with Sunsan.

In the video, Sunsan was arrogant and disdainful, frequently belittling Leo in her words. She seemed extremely confident about the upcoming design competition.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Jane’s lips.

Sunsan?

Relying on her?

Just an underling who was still arrogant.

Wait for it; this time, she would make Sunsan taste defeat again!

After dinner, Jane checked the time; it was time to pick up Nana from the airport.

As she descended the stairs, a familiar Rolls-Royce parked precisely in front of Jane.

The door opened, and a tall figure descended from the car.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It was Patrick.

“Jane, get in!” Patrick walked straight to Jane, speaking.

Jane was a bit surprised. “Patrick, how did you come over?”

Patrick extended his well-defined hand, encircling Jane’s slender waist and leading her into the car. He looked at her and said, “You’re going to the airport to pick up Nana, right? I’ll take you.”

So, did he rush back to take her to the airport?

Jane pursed her lips and said, “I can go by myself.”

Patrick didn’t say anything more; he just reached around Jane’s chest to help her fasten her seatbelt.

Jane, in turn, extended her hand to fasten the seatbelt.

Their hands met in the process.

Jane felt the warmth from Patrick’s palm through her fingertips. Her face reddened, and she quickly pulled her little hand back.

Seeing the shy look on the woman beside him, Patrick secretly curled his lips and fastened her seatbelt for her.

The two of them drove to the airport in silence.

“Get out,” Patrick said, glancing at Jane.

Jane checked the time and saw there was half an hour until Nana’s flight arrived.

“I’ll go to the restroom,” Jane said to Patrick.

“Sure,” Patrick replied indifferently.

For some reason, Jane felt like someone was following her the whole way. However, when she turned around, she found nothing unusual.

Was she being overly suspicious?

Jane frowned slightly. It had been several days, and Freda had disappeared without a trace.

Considering Freda’s manic behavior before, she must be planning something against Jane.

Jane was waiting.

As soon as Freda appeared, she would make sure justice was served.

This time, she would not show mercy!

“What are you thinking?” Patrick couldn’t help but ask when he saw the serious expression on the woman beside him.

Jane snapped out of her thoughts, furrowing her brows. “I’m thinking about Freda. She’s been missing for these few days. When will she come after me again?”

“Jane, don’t worry. With me here, I’ll protect you.” Patrick reached out, embracing Jane’s shoulder. His deep voice sounded in Jane’s ear.

His voice made Jane feel inexplicably reassured.

Just then, Nana’s figure emerged from the exit gate. At a glance, she saw the two most dazzling people in the crowd, Patrick and Jane.

“Hey, Jane!” Nana waved at Jane.

Jane quickly pushed away from Patrick, maintaining some distance.

Nana winked playfully at Jane. “Am I a light bulb now, or a high-wattage one?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Jane pursed her lips, her expression slightly unnatural.

Patrick curled his lips, lifting a smirk.

He drove Nana to the hotel.

“Jane, it’s too late today. I’ll come to discuss the design competition with you tomorrow.” Nana smiled at Jane.

Jane nodded. “Sure.”

The next day, the sky was overcast.

Early in the morning, Jane sent Patrick off to work. “Nana is coming today; you better leave quickly!”

Patrick had a dark expression. Was this woman really in such a hurry to get rid of him?

“Jane, are you so eager to drive me away?” Patrick’s thin lips tightened, showing his displeasure.

Jane pushed him out of the door. “I’m going to chat with my bestie in a while. What’s a grown man like you doing here?”

Well, it seemed like she thoroughly despised him.

Patrick was speechless, his handsome face showing his feeling of being rejected.

Patrick, without a word, with a tense expression, headed to Pansy Group.

However, Jane waited for a long time, and Nana didn’t show up.

Could it be that she was too tired from the journey yesterday and hadn’t woken up yet?
