You Are My One and Only

Chapter 177

Only then did Patricia suddenly come to her senses. "Oh. Are you here to pick me up?"

Ryan nodded slightly. "Yeah. We agreed to go to the movies together today, remember?"

After hanging up the phone, Patricia patted her cheeks and mumbled to herself, "Patricia, don't you want to try dating Ryan? Just forget about what happened this morning and what Isaac said. Keep your distance from him." After the self-talk, she hurriedly gathered her stuff and left the president's office with her handbag.

She entered the elevator along with the crowd who were getting off work. As there were a lot of people in the elevator, she was pushed into a corner.

Some female colleagues were discussing Isaac's engagement. One of them asked, "Hey, has Miss Aniston of the president's office been feeling blue lately?"

Another colleague replied, "That's for sure. Now that President Arnold is getting engaged, there's no hope for her anymore."

"But President Arnold has her desk moved into his office. I wonder if his future wife will notice something fishy." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"You guys know nothing. That's what rich men do nowadays: they fool around with women out there while staying married. If it were me, I'd be willing to be the mistress of someone as handsome as

President Arnold."

"M-Me too."

Listening to these words, Patricia felt as if every word they said was a reminder to her. If she were to do as Isaac had said, the situation would turn out just as they had described. She pursed her lips. She had to find a way to free herself from him. No matter whether he wanted to fool around or tease her, she had to distance herself from him as much as possible.

The elevator arrived on the ground floor, upon which the crowd poured out of the elevator. When the ladies who had been gossiping just now saw Patricia, they all blanched in fright. Then, they greeted her, saying, "You finished work quite early today, Miss Aniston."

Patricia nodded slightly in response. Indeed, today was the day she clocked out earliest. Usually, she had to keep Isaac company, but he wasn't present today, nor had he asked her to go out with him. As a result, she was able to leave early.

After walking out of the building, she saw a Maserati nearby. Ryan rolled down the car window and called out to her, saying, "Over here, Tricia."

Some colleagues at the entrance heard him, so she slowly walked up to the car under the gaze of everyone. After that, Ryan got out of the car and opened the car door for her, saying, "I'm so happy today, Tricia!"

Patricia smiled at him before looking back. Noticing that those colleagues were still standing there and looking on while gossiping about her, she decided not to bother. She hurriedly got into the car.

Subsequently, Ryan got into the car before driving away.

Patricia let out a sigh of relief. As expected, women were born to have a thing for gossip, and she was now the object of gossip in her company. Everyone thought that she had a special relationship with Isaac. She didn't mind that in the past because there used to be nothing between her and him, but now, she felt that her relationship with him wasn't so pure anymore. Therefore, those words sounded increasingly unpleasant to her.

Ryan turned to glance at her. "Tricia, are you okay with horror movies?" His assistant had taught him that it'd be best to choose horror movies when taking a lady to the movies. That way, she would throw herself into his arms when she was afraid. Ryan really wanted Patricia to throw herself into his arms. He hoped that they could become a couple as soon as possible. After all, he had been waiting for her for six years, which was simply too long. So, he was bursting with impatience.

Patricia thought about it for a moment. "Yeah, I'm okay with that. I like horror movies, actually."

Ryan smiled. "Glad to hear that. I bought the tickets, so I was afraid that you'd be afraid to watch it."

Subsequently, Ryan got into the car before driving away.
