Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO

Chapter 7 

"Baby, how did you get the wounds on your head and arm? Does it hurt?" Patrick asked Quentin.

Adriana noticed that Quentin was wounded, and some places were even bandaged.She quickly bent down and pulled him over gently to ask.She was distressed, and it was evident.

"It doesn't hurt.The pretty lady has already bandaged it for me.Besides, this injury is nothing for a man!"

Quentin said in an unmistakable and firm voice.

Patrick's demands for Quentin were exceptionally stringent.

Over time, Quentin developed the same personality as Patrick when he was a child.

Although he was patient and independent, he never showed weakness quickly.

And people with this kind of personality usually felt very cynical in their hearts.

Patrick did not want his child to repeat the same mistake he had made.

Nevertheless, the trajectory of destiny had always been so similar.

Patrick patted Quentin's head.His fingers stroked the wound on Quentin's forehead unconsciously.

Then, he thought, 'The way his wound is bandaged is very familiar, very similar to the way that woman bandaged it'

"Come on, get in the car, and let's go eat."

It was the path of solace between father and son.

There was no need to communicate too much verbally.

Although Adriana did not understand, she saw the smile on her son's face and no longer looked into it.

All three got in the car, and the Rolls-Royce quickly hit the road.

There were many vehicles on the road as it was rush hour.

The car sometimes sped up and sometimes slowed down until they reached the bus stop.

Quentin was sitting in the middle of his parents and was looking around.

Suddenly, he saw Emma and her mother standing next to the bus stop sign and shouted, "Dad, mom, look! That's the beautiful lady who helped me and bandaged my wounds!"

He pointed outside.

The two followed Quentin's finger and only caught a flash passing by.

"Oh, I can't see her anymore!"

Quentin wondered where Sophia went.

The car's occupants were silent again, and soon, the car started again and slid into traffic.

Sophia was glad that she was smart enough to remember the car she saw at the school entrance in a hurry.She saw the same car at the bus stop and quickly pulled Emma behind the bus stop sign.

Emma combed her fluffy hair.Her black almond-shaped eyes followed her mother's movements, and she looked back at Sophia.She wanted to know what had happened to her because her mother looked flustered.

"Mom, did you see any bad guys?"

Emma was also very nervous and looked around frantically.She didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

It was only then, when she saw the Rolls-Royce drive away, that Sophia let out a sigh of relief.She tidied up her hair and concealed her worry, "No, the sunlight was suddenly glaring, so I hid behind the sign."

Emma opened her mouth with exaggeration and pointed at the sunlight on their west side.

"Mom, this side seems to be facing the sunlight!"

"Do you think I am as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child? I am already a grown-up!"

Both mother and daughter were silent for a while.

Sophia unconsciously looked in the direction where his car drove off.She knew that she was not going to be this lucky every time.

If Patrick found out that she had secretly kept this child, she did not know how furious he would be.

Because everyone knew that having Patrick's child was equivalent to having a close bond with him and his family, that was why he had strongly suggested aborting this child.

Sophia thought that she would have to change Emma's kindergarten school.

Although the cost of Emma's enrollment in this kindergarten was slightly cheaper, there was no way around it if she wanted to avoid Patrick.

Sophia mumbled, "My family is so rich; how can we let our children come to such an ordinary kindergarten? The world of rich people is really incomprehensible..."

When Emma heard this, she seemed to understand and said, "Didn't grandmother always tell us that even if we have money, we have to save it?"

"Em, you are right.You have your grandma's ghost spirit in you"

She pinched Emma's little nose lovingly.

Sophia's heart was heavy as they traveled home.

When they arrived home, Sophia was stressed that she ate a lot. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Mom, I am full.The part-time job that Fiona helped me get will start today.Next time, after you come back to pick up Emma, eat.You don't have to wait for me every day"

Sophia took her bag, put on her shoes, and ran out of the house.

Maria had initially wanted to tell her that she had already paid for the second half of Emma's kindergarten tuition fees.

But before she could say it, Sophia was already out of the house.She shook her head, picked up a slice of pork, and put it on Emma's plate.

"Emma, eat well.”

When you grow up, don't be like your mother Maria said.Emma made a salute gesture and said in a childish voice, "Yes, Grandmother.I understand!"

Sophia took a cab to Golden Pavillion.She went to meet George.

He was the building manager and head of the housekeeping services.

"This is the administrative level special service area.You are responsible for the housekeeper service from seven to midnight.There is only one private room on this floor, and it is often reserved.You have to focus on this one room, and you shouldn't be too tired.

As the name implied, the housekeeper service was responsible for all the services of the guests in the private room, from minor to big dishes to the finest wine, and they had to be served perfectly.

George's smile was very gentle.

Perhaps it was because he had been in the workplace for a long time, but the smile on his face was not as peaceful as his demeanor.

On the first night of Sophia's shift, this floor was reserved by someone.

It was reserved by a wealthy businessman to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.

Sophia thought, 'Why do so many rich people celebrate their birthdays today?' At seven o'clock, a Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the Golden Pavillion.

The parking valet was well-trained and opened the door.

His attitude was very respectful.

Adriana handed over a few bills to the parking valet as a reward.

The two of them came here after ensuring that Quentin was settled at home.

Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and the atmosphere in the private room was already full of excitement.

Patrick's dark suit was casually draped on his body, and he stood tall and proud.He caught everyone's attention in the room.

Every man and woman in the room looked at the pair simultaneously.

Their eyes were filled with envy, and most of them sighed.

It was as if they did not believe that there was a man as perfect as Patrick in this world.

"Patrick, let me introduce you.This is Brandon Phillips, the CEO of Phillips Corporation."

Adriana clung tightly to Patrick as if she was marking her sovereignty, and she even did not hide the proud look on her face.

"Nice to meet you." Patrick stretched out his hand.

Although there was a smile on his face, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"I've heard a lot about you, President Evans.Today, I see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation.

If there is a chance to do business together, please let me know.

"I am honored.But please, I am hardly perfect.Let's work together"

Patrick pulled out a chair for Adriana.

Patrick's action made the women on the table swoon.

And he seemed used to those kinds of reactions.

There were also a few people on the table that Patrick did not know.

Greeting and introductions had been made, and everyone took their seats accordingly.

Because Adriana was the star of the night, Patrick and Adriana sat at the head of the table.

This is also to show their hospitality.

Sophia and another girl were standing by for any orders outside the private room.

Sophia was not in an excellent state tonight.

Perhaps because she was in a hurry earlier when she ate, so her stomach was aching, she had run to the toilet several times now in a span of half an hour.

The girl in charge of the private room service thought she was slacking off.

"They said they wanted two dozens of wine; you go and get it.I also have to go to the bathroom" The other girl said.

Sophia apologized and quickly went to get the wine.

Sophia resisted the discomfort and used almost all her strength in her body, and carried the two dozens of wine inside the private room.
