Seeing Caroline, the party got involved, left, the remaining middle-aged women dispersed as well.
I took a step back and kept a certain distance from Patrick. Looking at him, I said, "Mr. Cowell, thank you for being so kind to me. From now on, you are my brother-in-law as well as my boss. We'd better not have any contact in private."
After that, I walked out.
I didn't hear Patrick's footsteps behind me.
Feeling a little lost in my heart, I knew that such an answer from him would suit the situation the best.
I would find it the most desperate thing if he gave me any further hope.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hospital and waited for a taxi, Patrick stretched out one of his arms to the front of me.
I lowered my head and saw a pink-diamond-necklace in his hand.
It was the birthday present he had given to me before.
My heart ached a little. And then I said, "Mr. Cowell, you don't have to do this."
