Chapter 212
Seraphina found the current situation kind of hilarious.
She glanced at Tania, then turned to Patrick, “Is this your niece?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Patrick cleared his throat slightly, saying. “Sorry, I was a bit rude.
Then he walked up to Tania, gently placing his hand on her back, and looked down at her.
Patrick was tall, and Tania in front of him was like a child, especially when he looked at her like that. She involuntarily hunched her shoulders, looking more like a confused child who had made a mistake.
“Tell me, what are you doing?” Patrick asked.
Tania was obviously a bit scared of him. His plain question made her tense up. But she had been spoilt since childhood, and even if she was scared, she still had a bad temper. Plus she had some drinks, her mind was a bit fuzzy, so after biting her lip, she pointed at Seraphina and said, “I came for her! She stole my boyfriend!”
Patrick followed her finger to look at Seraphina. Seraphina just laughed and looked at Patrick
Patrick spoke to Tania in a parental tone, “Oh, so you’re here to pick a fight with Ms. Bennett?”
‘She’s shameless! Tania said angrily.
“You can only blame others when you lose?” Patrick asked, ‘Is this what you’ve been taught since childhood?”
1.Tania bit her lip and was speechless for a moment.
“If you can’t even keep a man, you should seriously consider your charm and judgment, instead of complaining about others being bad to you.” Patrick’s voice was calm, like a kind elder teaching a child, but his words were full of harsh truth, “Right?”
“No matter how good I am, I can’t beat her tricks! Tania couldn’t help but retort.
“Why don’t you have better tricks?” Patrick asked, “Does the offspring of the Martin family have no ability at all? Just blaming others when you encounter problems and can’t think of a more rational and elegant solution? Tania, you’re a socialite”
The last sentence seemed to sober Tania up. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Seraphina and said, “I won’t let you get away with it!”
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave, but Patrick stopped her, “Just leaving like this? Shouldn’t you compensate for the damage you caused?*
Tania stopped, turned around, took out her phone from her bag, and looked at Seraphina, “How much, say it.”
“One thousand dollars “Seraphina casually said.
-“One thousand? Tania looked at her with a smirk, “Just a piece of broken glass, Seraphina, haven’t you already married Leandro Reynolds and become
Mrs. Reynolds? Are you still so strapped for cash?”
“Are you questioning me?” Seraphina retorted, “This glass is just that expensive, if you think it’s not worth it, we can sort it out in court”
As Seraphina spoke, she took out her phone and showed the payment account
Tania gritted her teeth, glanced at Patrick, and finally paid Seraphina a thousand dollars, then turned around and left.
Seraphina glanced at the received money, put away her phone, and instructed the staff to clean up the broken glass and water stains on the table.
Patrick stood quietly by the side, waiting for her to finish everything before he said. “So, can we continue our previous topic now?”
Seraphina laughed and looked at him, “Honestly, I really appreciate your life philosophy… But just now, you seemed to be teaching your niece how to deal with me in front of me, how should I respond?”
Upon hearing this, Patrick laughed and replied, “I’m focusing on the matter, not the person, I reminded Tania because I’m her elder. If you were my friend, I would give you the same advice. But I believe in your ability to handle this situation without any problem, no matter who you’re dealing with, right?”
Seraphina squinted her eyes and looked at Patrick carefully for a while, saying, “Mr. Gray, you’re really… quite comforting”
That’s because I’m sincere.” Patrick said, “What do you think?”
Seraphina locked eyes with him for a moment, couldn’t help but laugh, then said, “Well, I totally felt it
“So, about the thing we were talking about earlier-”
TI think about it Seraphina said, “After all, it’s a big deal, right?”
Patrick still smiled and replied. “Sure”
Seraphina paused, then spoke again, “Mr. Gray, can I ask you one more question?”
“Of course”
“The reason you’re offering me such a high price is solely because you recognize and appreciate my abilities, and has nothing to do with anything else. right?” Seraphina asked
Patrick smiled and answered, “Of course.”
“That’s good” Seraphina said, “Til consider it more seriously
As the two of them left the exhibition hall together, it was already completely dark outside. The whole Aesthetic Avenue was quietly merging into the night under the lights, and in the darkness, the luxury car parked by the roadside was especially conspicuous, as was the familiar driver landing-next to
it
Seeing Seraphina coming out, the driver immediately shouted, “Ma’am, Mr. Reynolds is here to pick you up.”
“Is he?” Seraphina glanced at the closed car window. It seemed that Leandro had no intention of getting out of the car
Seeing this, Patrick laughed and said, “Since Leandro is here to pick you up, I won’t disturb you. I’ll wait for your good news.”
He extended his hand to Seraphina. Seraphina happily shook his hand, watched him leave, and then got into the car.
Inside the car, Leandro was focused on reading documents. When Seraphina got in, he didn’t look up at her.
As soon as Seraphina hopped into the car, she glanced towards the gallery and noticed that from this spot, she could see right through the window to the entrance of the gallery – meaning, Leandro must
have been able to see her and Patrick all along.
“How long have you been chilling here?” Seraphina turned to him and asked, “Why didn’t you come into the gallery to find me?”
Leandro’s eyes were still glued to the documents, he replied without looking up, “Looked like you were having a chit-chat with someone, was I supposed to barge in?”
“He left and you didn’t even get out of the car to say hi?” Seraphina countered.
At that, Leandro finally put down his documents and turned to look at her, “You think I’ve got all the time in the world?”
Hearing his words, Seraphina just shrugged, “After all, he might be my future boss. He’s not just some random Joe to me.”
At that, Leandro suddenly put down the documents in his hands.
