You Are My One and Only

Isaac glanced at Patricia through the corner of his eye and asked, “You haven’t found anything you like, Miss Aniston?”

His eyes almost seemed to sparkle, so much so that Patricia had to squint a little.

“Hah. You must be kidding, Mr. Arnold. These items are all too valuable. I dare not ask for them.”

She meant every word. All she wanted right now was to provide for herself and her three children, and she cared little for things like jewelry and other luxuries.

Isaac’s gaze seemed to intensify. Sure enough, she’s not a greedy woman.

She might seem to care a lot about money, but every single buck she spent was earned through her hard work and labor. He did help her by giving her a job that paid five thousand a month, but she gave it her all too.

She never came late or left early.
