Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 90

I heard Patrick pressing the elevator button again. And soon the elevator came.

He entered it.

After the elevator left for a while, I was sure that Patrick had left. Then I turned around and apologized to Shelton behind me, "Shelton, I'm sorry. He vented his anger on you because of me."

"I'm fine."

Shelton said.

I looked up at him. Shelton looked at me through the transparent lens with his gentle eyes.

He seemed to see the tears in the corner of my eyes. And his voice softened as he said, "Patrick probably cares about you so much. That is the reason why he lost his composure. At least, over the years I have been in the Cowell Family, I have never seen him treat anyone like this."

"He doesn't care about me at all." I shook my head with a wry smile, "Living in the Cowell Family, whatever he wants, he can always have his way ever since his childhood, right? no one will say no to him. And no one will disobey him."

"It's not just him. Everyone in the Cowell Family is like this. After all, they were born in such a family..."

Shelton lowered his eyelashes slightly as he spoke.

I could see the disappointment in his eyes.

I wanted to comfort him. So I said, "Shelton, don't be sad. Like you, I didn't live in the Archer Family since I was a child. Later. When I went to the same college with Caroline, it was because I looked

like her that they started to pay attention to me. In the end, I knew that I was not alone..."

I started to talk about what I had experienced endlessly.

Shelton listened to my words very seriously. In the end, he said, "Thank you for telling me your personal affairs. It's Patrick's loss that he doesn't cherish you."

It was late at night. Shelton and I said goodbye to each other and went home respectively.

That day, I didn't sleep well again.

The next day, I went to work with dark circles under my eyes. As soon as I entered the office, I saw my colleagues crowding together and gossiping about something.

I didn't want to know what they were talking about. So I went back to my seat.

But after I sat down, all of them looked at me in unison.

I looked over, sensing that they were looking at me. They exchanged glances with each other and gathered around me instantly. Then one of them asked me first, "Charlotte, do you have a sister?"

"I..." I subconsciously wanted to say no. But after hesitating for a moment, I said, "Yes."

My colleagues' eyes brightened when they heard my words. And they continued to ask me, "Is your sister going to marry Patrick Cowell, the President of the Towering High Group?"

My heart tightened. But I nodded as if nothing had happened.

Hearing my answer, they all said, "Wow, Charlotte, we didn't expect that you would come from a rich family."

"Yeah. That's right. In that case, aren't you going to become Patrick's sister-in-law?"

"How about you ask Patrick to introduce the rich young men who are single by his side to us?" "Yes, yes. I am in!" They kept babbling in my ears.

After they finished their words, I said, "I'm sorry. I don't get along with the Archer Family."

But they didn't believe what I had said. Instead, they thought I was making an excuse and refusing to help them.

They complained one after another and said, "We won't compete with you for Vice President Hyde. Why can't you introduce a few men to us? Are you afraid that we will find a better Mr. Right than yours?"

Hearing their weird and enigmatic guessings, I was silent for a while and said, "If I were from a rich family, why should I work here?"

As soon as I finished speaking, they seemed to be dumbfounded.

They muttered a few words and then left.

As soon as they left, I opened the page and searched the relative news online.

I found that the Archer Family seemed to have leaked this matter to the media reporters early.

Therefore, the stock of Archer's Group, which had been sluggish recently, climbed back a bit.

However, I only glanced at the news. Except for Rosy, the rest of the ones in these two families had nothing to do with me.

My life went on as usual.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the company's annual conference came.

Before the arrival of this day, everyone in the company counted the days, looking forward to this day. On the contrary, I took on a few orders. Drawing the effect sketches and communicating with the clients had taken up all of my time.

I had completely forgotten the so- called annual conference.

It wasn't until everyone was going to get their dresses that morning and Seth asked me about my dress that I remembered this matter.

I should be dressed in a gown while attending such an important event...

But it was too late for me to prepare a gown now.

Glimpsing at the pile of work piled up on my desk, I said somewhat embarrassingly, "How about I won't go there?"

"How can you do that? There is a rule in our company that everyone has to attend the annual conference. The ones who don't show up will be fined."

Seth said seriously.

I frowned. I was dependent on my salary now and didn't use the bonus of Archer's Group.

At the end of the year, I just paid the property management fee of the house, which cost me tens of thousands of dollars.

I was so distressed that I almost cried.

Now, hearing that I would be fined, I was entangled. Looking at the simple suit on me, I gritted my teeth and said, "Then I'll go there in this outfit."

"Alright." Seth looked at me and smiled. "I know you've forgotten about this matter. I've already prepared a dress for you."

"Huh?"

When I was surprised, Seth took me out.

He drove me all the way to a shopping mall and entered a store located in the middle position on the first floor.

When the clerk saw Seth, she said enthusiastically, "Hello, Sir, the dress you have ordered has been adjusted and sent back."

When I was wondering, I saw the clerk take out a gem- blue dress from the shelf. The dress was very chic. Its hemline was very long. Although the dress looked a little conservative, there was a high cut next to the right leg, making it somewhat sexy.

The clerk took out another pair of high-heeled shoes to match the dress.

I looked at the pair of high heels and was shocked. "Its heels are too high."

"It's okay. I'll support you all the way today. I promise that I won't let you fall."

Seth looked at me and smiled gently.

I knew that this dress was what he had prepared for me in advance. In order not to let him down, I could only grit my teeth and put it on.

I had to admit that this dress matched my body every well, which fully set off my body figure.

The slightly layering collar ran all the way down to the position of my heart, revealing a shallow cleavage.

"How much is it?" I wanted to pay for the dress after putting it on.

"I gave it to you as a gift. Could it be that you want to embrass me?"

Seth looked a little angry. Although I knew that he was pretending, I had no choice but to thank him.

He took me upstairs, where there was a store selling jewelry as well as heawears.

After I bought the stuff I needed, they could help me style my hair for free.

The clerk helped me choose a small clip. Because I was short-haired, she only braided the bangs in front of me slightly. After that, I looked a lot more modern and exotic.

Moreover, the clerk helped me with my makeup and choose a beautiful sapphire necklace to match with my makeup.

However, the necklace was only a piece of artwork, which wasn't expensive.

By the time I tidied myself up, it was already past 5 p.m.

Seth took me out of the mall. Although there was a coat hanging loosely on my body, I could sense the favoring gaze from the men around me.

Seth seemed to feel other men's gazes as well and put his hand on my shoulders. And I was shocked. I heard him whispering, "No. I have to declare my sovereignty on you. Otherwise, if other men come to hit on you, I will have to beat them."
