Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

Sophia had to find an excuse to reply to her mother.

"I just arrived at a new company, and I need to spend more time to get familiar with the work and environment.Moreover, I am new in the company, though it's time to get off of work; if my superior doesn't leave yet, then I can't leave too"

Maria also understood that her daughter was between a rock and a hard place in the job.

"Well, then, I will help you reschedule it for another day.Make sure you come home straight after work that day"

Sophia tried to stifle a smile at her mother's antics.

"Sure, mom.” After hanging up the phone, Fiona rubbed her heart over her chest.

"Your mother doesn't know anything, right? Why does she keep calling you to know what you were doing when you didn't come home after work?"

Fiona paused for a moment to think before she continued, "But then again, are you really going to go along with your mother's arrangements for a blind date and completely forget that god awful ex-husband of yours?"

The expression on Sophia's face didn't change much.

"He's a person that I should have forgotten a long time ago.Besides, you said that he was awful.Why would I still be thinking about him?"

"Yes, that's right!" Fiona agreed wholeheartedly.

But Sophia knew that despite what she said, it was not that easy to do.

Unknowing to the two women, two men were sitting beside their coffee table not too far from them.

One of them was so attractive that everyone would pay attention to him even if they had just passed by him.

Even those who had seen many handsome men would also be attracted to him.His appearance couldn't help but make everyone sigh at the unfairness of God.His facial features were sharp and chiseled.He was inexplicably handsome.He tightly pursed his lips as he sat there in brooding silence.He gave off a sense of a professional businessman.

"President Evans, this contract..." The other man wiped the sweat from his brow in nervousness.

Patrick merely smiled and did not say anything.

The man knew that Patrick was an expert in psychological negotiation, so he would not readily reveal his thoughts.He could only tentatively ask questions.

"We will meet again next week for an auspicious meeting” Patrick suddenly announced.

He abruptly stood up and closed the button of his suit.

Hoping not to come off as rude, he promptly ended their meeting and walked out of the coffee shop.

It was not until Patrick was far away that the man still seated at the table came back to his senses and scratched his head anxiously.

‘'That man was tough to deal with; the man who just talked to Patrick thought to himself.It was tough to negotiate a contract with Patrick” he had to be cautious every minute because he couldn't afford to offend Patrick easily.

The man felt annoyed.
