Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

Finn and Patrick had some interactions in business before.

Last time, when he and Sophia ran into Patrick, she said that this man didn't know her, so Finn didn't think much about it.

After all, how could someone like Patrick Evans care about the personal life of one of his employees? Finn didn't know Patrick personally.

He thought that Patrick wouldn't bother to interfere in this matter.

After all, this involved the privacy of a man and a woman's relationship.

However, he might've underestimated his kindness.

"Mr.Evans..."

Finn blurted out and hesitated.He found it difficult to answer Patrick's question.

Sophia also seemed to have noticed Finn's hesitation, which made her confused.She looked at him and waited for an answer.

After a long moment of pause, he finally managed a few words, "She's...my client."

No matter how much he thought about it, Finn didn't know how to answer Patrick.

He didn't know how to define his relationship with Sophia.

Patrick raised his eyebrows and looked at Sophia, but she did not return his gaze.

"Oh, so it's just a client.At first look, I thought it was Mrs.Bower.

He turned his head to look at Finn, who seemed to want to run and escape at any moment now.

"I just met her two days ago, apologies if I don't remember” Patrick added.

Still, the couple sat in silence, and so Patrick continued to say, "I just wanted to come over and say hello, and I didn't mean to disturb you from your work meeting.Again, I apologize’ 

After that, Patrick strode out of the restaurant with his long legs.

The scenario earlier seemed like it was just a coincidence, and there was no special meaning.

But on the other hand, Sophia's mind whirled thinking about this discovery.She had a gentle nature, but that did not mean that she was a fool.

Now, she finally understood what Patrick meant last night.

It turned out that Finn never had a divorce.

‘Then why has he been thoughtfully accompanying me these days?’ Sophia thought.

'Was it because of that suggestion just now? Living together?’ She was almost grateful that Patrick left her five years ago.

Because of the trauma, she was able to remain calm at several frustrating moments, such as this one.

Sophia stood up without a word.She walked out, leaving Finn alone at the table, and she did not bother anymore to say goodbye.

For this kind of man, saying one more word would be an insult to herself.

When she returned to the Evans Company, her eyes caught Patrick walking into the president's exclusive elevator.She hurriedly ran to catch up.

Luckily, she was able to step inside the elevator before the doors closed.

When she came face to face with Patrick, there was no hesitation in her voice, "You knew what kind of person Finn was, right? Did you ask me to come to your apartment last night just to warn me?"

Patrick's face remained passive.
