Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

His presence was barely noticeable, even if he was smoking.

Before she could say anything, Patrick asked her, "What are you doing here?"

"The Evaluation Department is having a dinner party here tonight” Sophia replied succinctly.

Sophia wanted to get back to her group, for she didn't want them to notice that she was gone for so long.She was about to leave when Patrick called her again.

"Wait, I'll just go there.I need to see the staff and join them, anyway, Patrick suggested.Patrick put his cigarette out and threw the butt into the trash can.He then walked towards Sophia with his hands inside his pockets.Sophia trailed behind him consciously.Suddenly, a gust of wind blasted across her face, messing up her hair.It also messed up her thoughts, and she was out of it for a minute.

"Which room?" Patrick blurted.

Patrick came to a halt so quickly that Sophia didn't have time to react, causing her entire body to collide with his back.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked, a little mockingly, but the truth was he wanted to reach out and soothe her bruised nose.

Clare felt so familiar with how Patrick showed his tenderness towards her.

And like what he just did, it felt like he had done it to her many times; to touch and feel her soft skin with his hands.

Sophia somehow guessed what Patrick was about to do and consciously avoided his touch.

Although his hand stopped in midair, his expression remained unchanged.

The air around them suddenly felt hot, like it was sucked out of them.

"Mr.Evans, it's this room..."

Sophia breathlessly said as she nervously pointed at the door on her side.

Patrick put his hands back into his pockets and nodded to Sophia.

She quickly understood what he meant and led him inside the room.

Patrick couldn't help but act professionally as what was expected of him as a leader for so many years.

Sophia flung open the door and turned sideways, allowing Patrick to enter.

The staff inside the room were suddenly shocked as they realized who had just entered.

Seconds passed before they were sucked out of their trance and tidied up, rising to greet him.

"Everyone, good evening.This is an informal gathering, so please just relax.We just happened to bump to each other outside, so I decided to come and join you, guys" Patrick said calmly.

"Mr.Evans, please have a seat” one of the senior staff offered.

"Everyone, please, take your seats, Patrick replied as he walked over to the couch and sat down.
