Felicia immediately shook her head. “Why would I? I know this is just a contract, and I will get the extra
allowance from our deal to buy more bags.”
She suddenly came to realize that a man like Patrick would only ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend
because he needed to deceive his family members.
Knowing he was not a man of commitment, she figured she should make him think she was in this for
money instead of attempting to win his heart.
If he eliminated his ominous feeling toward her, he would likely let her continue to be his fake girlfriend.
Being his girlfriend was enough for her to boast around.
There would be plenty of benefits that come along with that title. Her family would also see her in a new
light.
Patrick smiled faintly at her and took out a check before writing ten million on it. Then, he asked, “Is this
enough?”
Felicia took over the check and pretended to be ecstatic. “Yes, it is. Thanks!”
In fact, money was not that important to her. The Ashton family was not short of cash either.

front of him.
After saying that, she got up and was about to leave, but she was suddenly reminded of something
else. “Patrick, will we still get to work together in the future?”
Patrick stared at Felicia. Although Gwendolyn did not like her, Felicia was still kind of useful to him right
now.
After all, Hector was not in excellent health, and Patrick needed Felicia to help him complete this act.
“Of course. The contract is a year, and I'm yet to terminate the contract.”
He could not agree to proceed with an engagement with her, but he could still let her become his fake
girlfriend to deceive Hector.
Felicia smiled. “All right. Patrick, I look forward to working with you!” She waved at him and added, “I
have to go now. There's a new bag coming in today, and I have to get it.”
She hurriedly left the office, making it seem like she was rushing to get her hands on the new bag.
As Patrick watched her leave, his expression suddenly turned cold.
He took his phone and texted someone: Keep an eye on Felicia and tell me where she is going.
Arriving downstairs, Felicia got out of the elevator and saw two elegant-looking ladies seated on the
couch. They were wearing the trendiest coats of the season.
Both were scrolling through Twitter on their phones, and they only raised their heads when they heard
Felicia's high heels clicking on the floor.
“Fel, did he give you an explanation?”
Felicia waved the check to them and said, “Patrick told me he doesn't feel like being tied down by
marriage, but he did tell me his love for me is genuine. So he gave me this ten million check to make it
up to me.”
Adeline took over the check and saw Patrick's signature on it.
Denise also took over the check and exclaimed, “Wow! It must feel amazing to have such a great
boyfriend! This is ten million! I wish I could find someone like him.”
Felicia snatched over the check and stuffed it inside her purse. “He is mine, so the both of you can
dream about having him as your boyfriend.”

slapped them hard across their faces.
With these two gossipy ladies finding out about this, Felicia knew the news would soon spread
throughout the socialites' circle in Avenport. None of the socialites would dare act against her, and they
would get even more envious of her.
“Let's go. I want to get myself a new bag.”
She walked toward the exit while swaying her hips. Last night was humiliating for her, but she swore
she would use her own methods to make Patrick trust her.
Gaining his trust would give her access to get closer to him. She believed there would be one day
when she would successfully conquer his heart.
Gwendolyn took a cup of coffee and served it to his office. “Mr. Lowen, did you two have a fight?”
She knew Felicia too well to know the latter must be infuriated by last night's incident. Since Felicia was
in his office earlier, she guessed they must have fought.
Patrick narrowed his eyes at her, scrutinizing her with a probing gaze. “Do you wish to see us fight?”
Of course, Gwendolyn would hope to see them fight. It would be even better if they fought so much that
they broke up and cut all ties with each other.
However, she knew she could not be that honest, so she said, “No. I'm just curious.”
