Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

Accusations  Adriana couldn't help but blurt out her thoughts.She spoke too carelessly but soon realized that what she said was a little too much.So, she quickly explained, "I'm sorry for my outburst.I just...I care about you too much.I'm afraid I might lose you."

Patrick replied with a faint smile as if it was the only way to appease her.Adriana sighed and wrapped herself around his arm.

She continued, "Dad is forcing me to take over Clifford Financial Group again.I don't even have any experience running a business.The old man said I could go and learn from you.I'll be coming to work for your company, okay?"

Instead of answering, Patrick asked her, "Didn't you say that you're not interested in any of that?"

Adriana didn't respond with a yes or no.

"That was before, but I am interested again now.What do you say about us working together at your company?"

She tugged at his arm, waiting for an answer.

"It's up to you, '' Patrick replied and went along with the idea.

Adriana gave him a coy smile and said, "You're the best.I knew you couldn't say no to me"

In between her work at Evans Group and her part-time job, Sophia had two hours to arrange for Emma's transfer to another kindergarten.

She went to fill up the paperwork, but they told her that her mother had already paid the fees for the second half of the year.

And if she still wanted Emma to transfer out, she could only receive 70% for the refund.

With a pointed look and an impatient tone, the teacher even complained, "Emma and Harvey got into an argument, and the boy's parents came here to make a scene.If Quentin wasn't involved and if his family didn't settle the matter privately, that bit of kindergarten fee would not be enough to compensate his family at all"

Sophia was furious, but she knew that the teacher only spoke the truth.

Without money, she wasn't able to do anything.

She warned, "Ms.Brown, I hope that you will treat the children equally in the future.This way, you won't have to deal with more incidents like this"

After the minor altercation with Emma's teacher, Sophia led her daughter out of the kindergarten.

Emma tugged at her mother's hand and pouted her little mouth.

Using her sweetest voice and making puppy-dog eyes at her mother, she said, "Mom, I'll be good.

Please don't be angry at me' Sophia answered, "I'm not angry, baby.Nothing else matters as long as I have you by my side”

Her heart warmed at her daughter's expression.

Emma was her life.

As long as she was okay, she wouldn't be worried about anything else.
