Chapter 57: How Can I Get You To Sign The Contract

There were more than a dozen companies that wanted to collaborate with the Reynolds Group.

So, it wasn't easy for Patricia to earn the opportunity to cooperate with the said company.

However, even the president of the Veyron Corp couldn't guarantee full cooperation unless the contract
had been signed by both parties.

Understanding this, she discerned where the president was coming from.

They were so close to sealing the deal.

And once that contract was signed, the Veyron Corp.

would be able to work together with the Reynolds Group on this project.

Thinking of all the sacrifices she and her colleagues had made towards this deal, Patricia took a deep
breath, bit her lower lip, and calmly said, "I'll get it done."

Pleased by her response, the president nodded with satisfaction, convinced that he had chosen the
right person to get the job done.

Patricia had readily agreed to the president's request, but she was unsure whether she could fulfill the
task within the time constraint he had set.

The moment she left the president's office, her mind ran on the conditions that Zac had proposed
earlier.

"I will sign the contract if you move into the Oakleaf Villa!" Rubbing her forehead, Patricia shook her
head, trying to get rid of that idea.

She muttered to herself, "You mustn't be influenced by Zac.



There must be another way to get this done!"

The next moment Patricia was taken aback when Lily reported a sensitive piece of information.

So shocked was she that her eyes opened wide in disbelief.

"Miss Sampson, are you okay?"

Lily called to her worriedly.

It was her first time seeing Patricia wear such a startled expression since they'd started working
together.It took her a moment, but Patricia returned to her senses.

Masking her embarrassment, she asked, "Lily, where did you acquire this information?"

It was only moments ago that the president had given her a deadline to get the contract signed with the
Reynolds Group.

So, she didn't expect the Reynolds Group to reach an agreement with another company so quickly.

Fortunately, they hadn't signed off yet, otherwise...

"Well..."

Lily was hesitant to state her source, but seeing the calm expression on Patricia's face, she opened up
and said, "It was Jayson who told me.Miss Sampson, you can't tell this to anyone else.It was told to me
in confidence."

Hearing this, Patricia nodded heavily as an indication that she'd keep this news to herself.

But she couldn't help but frown slightly when she'd heard who the informant was.



Whether this report was accurate or not was one thing, but the fact that Jayson told Lily could indicate
that he had an ulterior motive for doing this.

Lily was a loyal and straightforward person, so it was guaranteed to reach Patricia's ears if she'd
learned of any pertinent information.

So, this meant that Jayson had wanted her to hear the news from Lily rather than from himself directly.

This meant that Jayson wasn't as simple as she thought he was.

He could even turn out to be another Kareem! She realized she had to be more wary of him in the
future.

"Miss Sampson..."

Lily thought that she had said something wrong, causing Patricia to be lost in thought.

Noticing Lily's concern, Patricia smiled and said gently, "I'm fine.Lily, you can go back to work."

Lily looked at Patricia worriedly but left the office nevertheless.

After Lily left, Patricia was still wondering about the authenticity of the news.

However, the Reynolds Group was a big company.

So, it wasn't far-fetched to think that other companies had their eye on the Reynolds Group as well.

And it was even possible that other companies had signed contracts with them before she could.

Just then, Patricia was startled by the ringing of her phone.

Seeing the caller ID pop up on the screen, Patricia couldn't help but bite her lips.



The less contact she wanted with Zac, the more he pestered her.

‘In the past, whenever I tried to contact Zac, he did everything he could to avoid me.' The thought of
this now made her feel ridiculous.

She quickly pressed the answer key.

All she wanted to do was to have a quick conversation with Zac.

"Have you heard the news?"

the voice on the other end of the phone questioned.

This could only mean one thing.

The Reynolds Group was really considering cooperating with another company.

"Zac..."

Without hearing what Patricia had to say, Zac interrupted her mid-sentence.

"If you don't get the contract signed now, the collaboration won't be established.I have told you this
before!" said Zac in a calm, domineering tone, as if everything was under his control.

Taking a moment, Patricia pursed her lips tightly as she was rendered speechless.

She couldn't refute what Zac had said.

Gripping on to the phone tighter, Patricia took a deep breath and regained her usual calmness in an
instant.

She said lightly, "Zac, how can I get you to sign this contract?"



She couldn't let her and her colleagues’ efforts be in vain.She wouldn't let go of this great opportunity.

Otherwise, it would cause a significant loss to her company.

That said, in order to cooperate with the Reynolds Group this time, the company had invested a lot.

Hearing what Patricia said, Zac chuckled as if everything was going according to his plans.

"Meet me at the Oakleaf Villa tonight."

Without giving her a chance to retort to his statement, Zac hung up.

Patricia frowned when she realized he'd hung up on her.

Nibbling on her lower lip, a trace of anger could be seen flashing through her clear eyes.

‘What does Zac mean by that? Is he going to discuss this collaboration further at his villa tonight?
Obviously...’ Thinking of this put Patricia in a pensive mood.

Leaning back in her chair, she rubbed her temples with her fingers.

Zac's remark had instantly given her a headache.

She knew what he meant.

And although she didn't want to go to the Oakleaf Villa, she had no other choice.

Otherwise...Sighing, she made up her mind to see how things played out.

If she could get Zac to sign the contract, then great.

Else, she wouldn't waste any more time on him and would just leave if things went sour.



After making this decision, Patricia put her dejected mood behind her and devoted herself to her work
again.

After work, she sorted out the documents she'd need tonight and hurried to fix her makeup before
leaving the office.

When she drove to the Oakleaf Villa, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

The memory of that night was still fresh in her memory.

Even now, she still held regret for what she had done that night.

She had thought that it would be the last time she would step into this place, but today she had
returned to finalize the signing of the contract between the Reynolds Group and the Veyron Corp..

In this same place, albeit at separate times, she was two completely different persons.

She was no longer who she used to be.

And she wouldn't let Zac's inexplicable actions determine her happiness or sadness anymore.

As she was about to ring the doorbell, the door suddenly flew open.

And a delicate but familiar face appeared in front of her.

‘Lyndsy?’ Patricia's expressions changed slightly as she saw Lyndsy.She hadn't expected to see her
sister here.

‘Is Lyndsy living with Zac now? They are moving so fast.Does this mean they will be announcing their
engagement soon?’ Patricia knew Zac's character all too well.

No one could enter his house without his permission.



After all, in the past in order to come over and clean his house she had begged him a lot for the key.

All of a sudden, Zac's words had come into her mind.

"No matter what you think, you can only be my woman!"

At that moment, a trace of mockery appeared on the corner of Patricia's mouth.

Zac had claimed that she would be his only woman, but now...

‘Zac, did you really think you could have two wives at the same time?’ "Bitch, why are you here?"

Lyndsy glared at Patricia in disgust, treating her like the enemy.

When she had seen it was Patricia at the door, she had rushed outside.

Glaring at Patricia, she waved her hand in the air and shouted, "Bitch, you're really planning on
badgering Zac, aren't you!"
