As soon as I moved, I heard Patrick say behind me, "You don't have to go." Then he said to the person in charge, "Go and get a new design company."
"Why?"
I didn't expect Patrick to say that all of a sudden.
Although I didn't know what made him change his mind, I was sure that all of these had something to do with me.
He hated me. So he vented his anger on this project.
Patrick stood up and took out a cigarette box as well as a cigarette from the pocket inside his suit.
He ignited it.
Taking a sip, he said slowly, "For a company that doesn't investigate whether a new employee is keeping the past as a secret before hiring one, I can justifiably suspect the professionalism of this company."
"I didn't hide anything!"
Sure enough, it was me who he was targeting.
