You Are My One and Only

Chapter 198

"Sure," reciprocated Isaac.

Tonight, he had something urgent to attend to as well seeing that his family already knew about the engagement. Considering how often he had not been home lately, Hendrick should be happy to hear the news when he returned home tonight. Yet, Isaac was still upset and annoyed for some reason.

He thought that a sham marriage was what he could initially compromise, but at this point, an engagement was the biggest concession he could possibly make right now.

"Thank you, President Arnold! You're the best!" exclaimed Patricia as she jumped up and down joyfully before offering him a lollipop. "President Arnold, this is for you."

After taking her coat that was hung on the coat hanger and wrapping a scarf around her neck, she carried her bag and waved him goodbye. "Bye, President Arnold. Don't stay up too late!"

Now that he was alone in the office, Isaac checked on the time through his wrist watch. It's only 6.00PM. Seems like she doesn't want to spend a minute longer here, huh?

Looking at the lollipop on the desk, he would like to consider its pink heart shape to carry a different meaning to it. His gaze smitten with warmth as he sniffed the smell. I bet it's as sweet as she is.

On the other hand, Patricia had not found the guts to drive to work with a car she got for free from Isaac all this while. Besides, a man as petty as him might confiscate it if he saw it by chance. With hindsight, she commuted by taking the subway every single day.

It was relatively convenient though; she did not need to worry about the traffic and could reach home faster. Twenty minutes later, she was already exiting the entrance of the subway that was near her place.

Even so, the weather was rather cold today, so she primped her scarf to keep herself warm from the cold breeze. It was this moment that a car halted in front of her out of the blue and the window was unwound.

Patricia was astonished to see the person in the car, but she hopped onto the car nonetheless. As they were heading toward Snowflake Lane, she let out a smile. "Zachary, you definitely know the right day to show up."

He looked at her affectionately. "What do you mean?"

She covered her smile with her hands. "Scott and Stellan are in charge of making dinner tonight. Isn't it meant to be?"

He nodded approvingly. "Luck's on my side today."

The driver parked the car in front of Patricia's house before opening the car door for them.

The both of them ambled to the door when Gus called her abruptly, "Patricia, come here."

Patricia turned to Zachary. "Head in first. I'll talk to him for a moment."

She was aware that Gus was here to ask for the money. However, she did not contact Darcie lately due to her tight schedule. She wondered if her friend had sold her house.

"Patricia, when is your friend going to return the money? You can't delay the payment any longer."
