Chapter 31: Play A Trick

Looking at Zac's back as he strode into the bathroom, Patricia thought to herself that he must have
gone crazy.

There was no other explanation for this unexpected change in his personality.

After all, if he was plotting something, he would have simply threatened her to get his way.

So, how could she possibly conceive that he was taking care of her out of the kindness of his heart?
She snapped out of her momentary daze as Zac returned with a basin of water in one hand and her
personal hygiene products in the other.

He squeezed the toothpaste onto her toothbrush and handed it over to her, along with the tooth cup.

He then fetched the spittoon and held it for her while she brushed her teeth.

This took Patricia by surprise.

So astonished was she by this gesture that she just sat there holding onto her toothbrush and cup
without moving.

To think the president of Reynolds Group was actually serving someone he didn't even want to look at!
If word of this spread, everyone would be shocked! But this would only make her the center of
attention.

Staring blankly at Zac in front of her, she racked her brain in an attempt to figure out what his scheme
could be.

Just as she was starting to become confused by all the thoughts running through her head, Zac, having
run out of patience, gritted his teeth and growled, "Patricia, why don't you start brushing your teeth?
Hurry up!"



"Okay!"she responded and began to brush her teeth.

Anyway, she had the worst result now.

So, no matter what happened, she figured she couldn't feel any worse than she currently did.And since
Zac was so willing to pretend to be nice to her, she wouldn't refuse his help.

Besides, she was now a patient and did, in fact, need someone to take care of her.

And if Zac was willing to take up the mantle, then so be it.

As for what Zac was plotting, she decided not to think too much about it and simply act accordingly due
to the changing circumstances.

While Zac was tending to her, she suddenly felt the urge to play a trick on him.

She deliberately slowed her movements, and instead of finishing in three minutes, she ended up
spending five minutes brushing her teeth.

Finally, under Zac's watchful gaze, she rinsed her mouth, put her toothbrush into the cup, and handed it
to him.It was when Patricia was so readily handing him her things that he noticed she was enjoying
herself.

The thought of her being insatiable made him irritable.

However, since she had received the abortion because of him, he didn't want to needlessly argue with
her for the time being! Of course, Patricia noticed the discontented expression on Zac's face.

She appreciated what he was doing for her.

She did, in fact, need someone to take care of her, and since she didn't want Giselle to worry about
her, Zac was the obvious choice.



Zac handed her a dry towel, but she refused it.

She suddenly collapsed onto the bed.

"I feel exhausted and dizzy," she murmured.

Zac became irate upon hearing her say this because he was sure that she was doing this on purpose
now.

She just wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for him! He speculated that since she
wanted his assistance, he would lend her a hand.

This was, after all, a golden opportunity to flirt with her, so why not? If Patricia knew what was on Zac's
mind, she would be so enraged that she would slap him.

But that depends on whether she could be able to reach his face under the circumstances.

Armed with the towel, he wiped her soft hand roughly, but he then slowed his pace.

He immediately regretted what he'd done after seeing how red her skin had gotten.

He didn't think he was such a narrow-minded person, and he certainly wasn't the type of person that
would let others get away even with a hostile look.

Nevertheless, in front of Patricia, he always seemed to act against his better judgment.

How could she always make him so impulsive? After wiping her hands and face, Zac had finished what
he set out to do.

But he didn't leave until he helped Patricia have breakfast.

Looking at his retreating back, she felt a surge of pleasure pulsating through her heart.



Who would have guessed getting even with others could be so blissful? It was no wonder now why so
many people killed others for revenge! Because Zac had spent the whole day with her yesterday, he
had a pile of tasks awaiting his attention at the office, which was why he had to go to the company
today.

Not only did he need to complete his workload, but he also needed to handle the issue that occurred
yesterday.

It was already half-past eight when he walked into the company.

[In the president's office.]

"Mr.Reynolds, I've figured out that it was Yolanda and Lyndsy behind it.They found the paparazzo we
bought off before and gave him a wad of cash.He then sold the report to someone else, and that
person posted it on the website, so..." the female secretary reported gingerly as she stood aside
respectfully.

"Okay!"

With his head down, Zac quickly leafed through the documents in his hand before typing away on his
laptop with his slender fingers.

"It's been handled, though.Such a thing won't happen again!"

the female secretary added when she realized Zac was ignoring her.

"You can leave now!"

Zac looked up at the secretary briefly before continuing his work.

Relieved, his secretary turned around and briskly walked to the door.



Just before reaching the door, however, she heard Zac's voice.

Pausing, she heard him say, "Order something healthy for lunch, and remind me at eleven- thirty."

As perplexed as she was by his orders, she still managed to nod before exiting the office.Once out, she
breathed a sigh of relief.

She made her way over to her workstation and quickly jotted down what Zac had told her into a
notebook.

Just as she finished making her notes, she noticed a familiar figure approaching her.

The woman advancing on her wore a pure white dress and coquettish makeup, which didn't match the
white dress at all.

Basically, the makeup was overkill, so it didn't compliment the dress she had chosen to wear.

She slowly made her way towards the secretary, a strong stench of perfume surrounding her.

The secretary frowned and almost vomited because of the strong scent of the perfume being emitted.

Eyeing Lyndsy as she neared her, she decided to play a trick on her.

"Miss Sandra, is Zac here?"

Lyndsy asked elegantly, walking over to Sandra's side.

She had a smile plastered on her face that she evidently thought made her look attractive.

"He is in his office.If you want to see him, I can contact him for you!"

Sandra picked up her phone on the table and pretended to make the call.



"No, thanks.I'll go look for him in person!"

Lyndsy uttered excitedly, stopping Sandra in her tracks by grabbing her hand.She had dressed up
today in order to surprise Zac.

If he was notified of her presence, the effect wouldn't be the same when he saw her.

"Miss Sampson, your makeup is especially beautiful today.I think if your lips were a tinge redder, you
would look even more dazzling!" Sandra said in a sincere tone.

"Really?"

Hearing those words, Lyndsy took out her cosmetic mirror from her bag and observed her makeup with
confidence.

"Your white dress accentuates your fair skin.You should take advantage of this!"
