Chapter 8

Russell and Veronica were chatting happily when they suddenly felt a strong pressure approaching them.

Russell looked up, surprised, and saw a man standing by the table. “Mr. Hersey, why are you here?” he exclaimed. He had only met Patrick twice before and never expected Patrick to recognize him.

Russell quickly stood up, unsure of where to put his hands properly. “Mr. Hersey, are you here for dinner too?”

Violet was still a bit dazed. “Why is Patrick here too?” she asked herself inwardly. Patrick glanced at Russell and then shifted his gaze to Veronica’s face. He smirked slightly and said, “I’m here to see this young lady!”

Veronica blushed and stood up, her voice slightly trembling with awkwardness as she asked, “Mr. Hersey, do we know each other?”

Patrick replied playfully, “We have an instant connection! It’s fate, I guess.”

Veronica shyly lowered her head, her face turning red. She couldn’t help stealing glances at Patrick and nervously said, “I… I also feel a strong connection with you, Mr. Hersey!”

Patrick pondered for a moment and then told his assistant behind him, “Since this lady and I have such a connection, please get her a cup of coffee. It’s on me!”

After saying that, Patrick gave a meaningful look to Violet and then to Veronica. “We will meet again!”
