The Billionaire's Deal

Patrick cast a dissatisfied glance at her. Though he had his concerns, he had thought she was superior for a while. He had hoped that the media was merely fabricating stories. However, he believes there were no such stories this time. All this time, she'd been a wolf in sheep's clothes.

With such grace, she said, "I have always wanted you since the first time I laid eyes on you."

Patrick said to her, "I'm sorry, but we don't have a mutual understanding in that regard."

She gave him a harsh sneer. "Why? Because you have some low-life girl as a fiancée?"

"That lowlife is my fiancée, and I love her."
