PopularNovelPatricia nodded in response. “In that case, I’ll go and ask for the money tomorrow. The sooner Poppy
can get her surgery, the better.”
Darcie seemed to have brightened up, and she looked like she had much more of an appetite now.
At that, Patricia glanced at Poppy. The little one still couldn’t eat much, returning to her Barbie doll after
taking a couple of bites.
The doll was a present from Sylvie, and the two girls loved these toys. Hence, Sylvie would always
think of getting one for Poppy whenever she bought one for herself.
Seeing how much Poppy was enjoying the toy, Patricia thought perhaps this was the little girl’s
happiest moment, making her forget about her illness.
The woman stayed until the mother and daughter finished their meal. Just then, the caretaker arrived
just in time for Darcie to head to work in Everbright.
With that, Patricia and Darcie left the hospital, whereby the former dropped the latter off at Everbright’s
entrance.
Before Darcie exited the car, Patricia asked, “Darcie, do you think it’s still possible if I come back here
and work as a dancer?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe returned to perform a show the other night and thought the response was rather well; everyone
was happy to see her.
As much as she didn’t like the place, she thought she could still return to Everbright as a dancer to
survive.
Darcie fell silent for a moment before turning to Patricia with a grave face. “Tricia, since you’ve already
left, don’t come back anymore.”
Everbright was a hellhole, and anyone who could leave the place shouldn’t return.
Patricia nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I won’t come back then. Meanwhile, you should find a
different job once Poppy is cured.”
Darcie smiled in response. “Yeah, we’ll be able to do whatever we want by then.”
It wasn’t until Darcie went into Everbright that Patricia drove away.
However, her phone rang just then, and she fished for it while keeping her eyes on the road. “Hello?”
She hadn’t had a chance to see who the caller was.
“Come and pick me up, Patricia. I’m at Spago.” It was Isaac, and he seemed to have taken some liquor.
“President Arnold, isn’t today my day off?”
“I’ll triple your pay.”
“Alright, please wait for me for a while. I’ll be right there.”
She was close to Spago, so after hanging up, she made a sharp U-turn, leading the other oncoming
drivers to cuss at her. “Do you know how to f*cking drive?!”
However, Patricia pretended not to have heard it. After all, the more important thing was getting her pay
tripled. Oh, she was in seventh heaven!
In fact, she practically hummed throughout the entire drive. “Yeah, I’m going to take my horse to the old
town road, I’m going to ride ’til I can’t anymore…”
Ten minutes later, Patricia arrived at Spago. “President Arnold, I’ve arrived. You can come out now!”
Patricia called Isaac after parking by the entrance.
Isaac smirked upon hearing the young woman’s chirpy voice. There was a hint of a smile beneath his
eyes as well. “That’s fast of you.”
Alas, the power of triple pay. He had to say that he was impressed with how she could arrive in just ten
minutes.
Nikola and Percy were playing hand games when they saw Isaac, who only had one sip of liquor,
suddenly get up.
“You guys enjoy yourselves. I’m going home. I’ve had one too many.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmExcuse you?! Okay, we let you off the hook when you said your gastric was acting up after taking a sip
of liquor, but you’re telling us that you’re drunk now? After one sip?!
“Isaac, you piece of sh*t. What ever happened to bros before h*es?!” Nikola snapped.
However, Isaac wasn’t bothered. There was even a smirk on his face. “Well, you’ve got one thing right.
Indeed, a woman is here to pick me up. Feel free to enjoy yourselves since you don’t have any women
to pick you guys up.”
Percy and Nikola were rendered gobsmacked. Is this b*stard bragging right now?
Thus, the two stood up as well after exchanging glances.
“We can’t drive since we’ve had liquor as well. I’m sure you don’t mind giving us a lift.”
With one arm around Percy’s shoulder, Nikola opened the door to the back seat of the Volvo parked by
the entrance. “Hi, Miss Aniston. We meet again,” Nikola greeted after entering the car.
Patricia turned around and looked at the guys in response. Goodness, they reek of alcohol.
Nonetheless, these two guys sure are good-looking. Hubba hubba!
“Hi!” However, had she ever met them before?
