Chapter 162

Louis Frost from the Frost family was treating them today, and he specifically asked Daniel and Patricia to come over for a bite. He wanted Brandon to join too, but Brandon turned him down, saying he was slammed with work.

Patricia had just settled into her seat at the restaurant where Louis was picking up the tab when she got hit with a layoff email from HR. And it wasn’t the usual pink slip – they straight-up gave her the boot.

When Patricia saw the email, she spaced out for a good while. Losing a job was small potatoes compared to the embarrassment of getting axed like that.

Patricia didn’t know if the email was blasted company-wide or if it was just a personal slap in the face.

The thought of the whole company knowing made her scalp tingle with dread.

Louis, seeing something was off, asked with concern, “What’s up? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Daniel, already seated, looked up too, wondering what was going on.

Patricia squashed the butterflies in her stomach, forced a smile, and said, “It’s nothing.”

Then she casually stashed her phone away as if it was all cool.
