CHAPTER 79: LET'S START OVER 

After staring at her for five minutes, Zac pursed his thin lips and said slowly, "Patricia, can we start our relationship over?"

Patricia was stunned by his question.

However, she couldn't hide the hint of sadness that flashed across her face.

"Are you kidding me, Zac?" Smiling bitterly, she gave Zac a stern look.

‘What a big joke!’ she thought.Seeing her disgust written all over her face, Zac couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his head.He sneered as if laughing at something only he knew about.

"Yes, clearly I'm joking!"

Zac scoffed, his eyes gleaming with a hint of melancholy.

Seeing the sadness in Zac's eyes, Patricia gently bit her lower lip.

Taking a deep breath, she firmly said, "Zac, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.So, no, we can't start over."

Patricia gritted her teeth as she reminded both Zac and herself of this fact.

‘We really have nothing to do with each other again.So, why do I feel so unhappy?’ thought she inwardly.

"Okay, I understand," said Zac.

He then turned around and staggered away, not once glancing back in her direction.

‘Why is she so heartless? Even if I tell her the truth now, nothing will change in our relationship.

Everything is over for us!’ he sneered inwardly and burst into laughter.

His laughter faded away from the corridor of Patricia's apartment.

Unable to hear his voice anymore, Patricia, who was standing at the door, slumped over sorrowfully.

Her interaction with Zac had left her slightly exhausted.

While she was facing him, she had held on and didn't allow herself to fall down.

She had told herself that she needed to properly handle the situation with him.

Tired, she raised her hand to cover her forehead.

But as distressed as she was, she kept thinking about Zac's grieved expression.

As Zac was staggering out of Patricia's apartment, he encountered Lyndsy hiding in the dark.

In a fit of rage, Lyndsy stared up at Patricia's house resentfully.

Pursing her lips, she then fixed her eyes on a drunken Zac.

‘I am as good as Patricia.So, why is Zac always going back to her?’ Noticing Lyndsy's anger, Zac laughed and exhaled.

He uttered incoherently, "Lyndsy...It's you...Why...are you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zac reached out his hand to touch Lyndsy's face, a hint of reluctance flashing through his eyes.

Patricia was an aloof but arrogant beauty in terms of appearance, while Lyndsy seemed charming and lovely.

However, no one noticed the similar facial features they both shared.

Looking at Lyndsy made Zac miss Patricia more.

"What about you, Zac? Why are you here?"

Lyndsy glowered at Zac in her rage.

‘Didn't he say that he liked me? So, why is he at Patricia's house now? Why is he still entangling with Patricia?’

"lam..."

Zac scoffed with a hint of sadness in his voice that he didn't make obvious to Lyndsy.

"I'm just taking a walk."

After he was finished talking, Zac gave a weak smile and quickly walked over to Lyndsy.

Stretching out his long arm, he wrapped it around her waist.

Lyndsy was surprised but highly excited at the notion that Zac was finally being intimate with her.

She had heard that drunk men did crazy things.

So, she couldn't help wondering if this would lead to her becoming one with Zac.

This thought caused Lyndsy to look at Zac expectantly.

Blushing, she said in a soft voice, "Zac..."

Before Lyndsy could finish her sentence, Zac kissed her lips and then bit them hard again and again, as if punishing her.

Zac's passionate kiss excited the nervous Lyndsy.

Putting her arms around his neck, she tried to match his ardor.

‘If this continues, we will definitely end up in bed together.’ However, while Lyndsy was lost in her thoughts, Zac suddenly stopped and pushed her away.

Covering his face awkwardly, he said with difficulty, "Lyndsy, I'm drunk."

After saying this, he touched his forehead again.

His actions left him speechless.

‘What is wrong with me? How could I mistake Lyndsy for Patricia? Do I really miss Patricia that much?’ Hearing him say that had stunned Lyndsy.

To her dismay, she understood precisely what Zac meant.

Gritting her teeth in anger, she just wanted to pull Zac over to her and let him clearly see who she was.

"Zac, you're drunk.Let me take you home."

Lyndsy smiled sweetly as she tried to rein in her anger.

‘I won't lose! I will not lose to Patricia.I will win over Zac's heart sooner or later! Quickly stepping forward, she supported Zac with a gentle smile on her face.

However, seeing Lyndsy's smile made Zac blink.

It was as if he was seeing Patricia.

With Patricia on his mind, he moved closer to Lyndsy and allowed her to take him home.

Standing in the dark, Patricia had witnessed their whole exchange.

Now she could only stare blankly at Zac's and Lyndsy's receding figures.

For some reason, her heart ached as if something was about to disappear from her life.

Subconsciously, she pressed her hand over her chest and tightly grabbed her clothes with her delicate fingers.

Taking a deep breath, she smiled knowingly.

"This is a good thing, isn't it?"

Now that she knew Lyndsy was taking Zac home, she could return to her apartment and finish her dinner. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Earlier, when Zac had left, Patricia was worried he'd be in danger if he drove home after drinking.

So, she had made her way downstairs, intent on sending him home.However, to her dismay, she had found Zac kissing Lyndsy.

"I can go back upstairs now."

Patricia forced a bright smile onto her face, but inside she felt afflicted.

The next day, Patricia saw the news headlines revealing that Zac, the president of the Reynolds Group, had spent the night out with Lyndsy, the second daughter of the Sampson family.

This meant that their relationship was making some progress.

I Sneering, Patricia closed the web page and tossed her phone aside.

She couldn't help but recall Zac and Lyndsy kissing yesterday.

Patricia had a lot of spare time on her hands now that she had handed over her work to Jayson.

She even had time to watch TV shows now! However, being unaccustomed to such a lifestyle, she quickly became bored.

She had a good rest in her office that morning.

When it was lunchtime, she instinctively reached for her phone and called Lily.

She was in the mood for some Japanese cuisine.

However, after calling her three times, Lily still hadn't answered her phone.

Confused, Patricia assumed she must have been too busy working to hear her phone ring.

Therefore, she decided to personally go to Jayson's office to look for Lily.

When Patricia arrived at Jayson's office, she hid by the door when she heard their voices inside instead of knocking and entering.

She couldn't help but eavesdrop on the conversation between Lily and AUT fab Im bug: Jayson.

Patricia was stopped in her tracks when she heard them mention ‘photos’.

"Jayson, don't be like this.We are in the company right now!"

"Why are you so afraid? You are my woman now.What is there to be scared about?"

Pulling Lily into his arms, Jayson kissed Lily hard on the mouth.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Lily.

Guilt flashed on her face as she whispered, "Was it necessary for us to do that to Miss Su? After all, she has spent so much effort on this."

Jayson smiled gently and said, "We didn't take those photos.All we did was expose the truth."

‘The truth? What on earth were they talking about?’
