You Are My One and Only

Chapter 121

Elira took a look at it and her expression changed instantly for she had not expected it to be that serious. Needless to say, Isaac was really not an ordinary man.

She remained smiling nevertheless. “It’s not a big problem, but it is highly advisable to not take a shower tonight. Otherwise, it’ll take longer for it to recover.”

She then took out a cream from the medical kit. “Apply this cream thrice a day. It should recover within three days.”

While Patricia applied the cream by herself, Elira left the lounge and went toward Isaac’s desk. “President Arnold, I’ve checked on her and it should be fine after applying the cream for a few days.”

He looked at her and said indifferently, “Thank you, Dr. Caddel. Liam is waiting for you outside to make payment to you.”

“No, that’s not necessary. I’ve just done my job.” She shook her head as she dared not receive extra money when it was an order from Nikola himself.

“I insist,” stated the man as it was actually a bribe for her to keep it a secret.

In the end, she gave in. “Thank you, President Arnold.”

Meanwhile, Patricia left the lounge with a delighted expression. After applying the cream, the cooling sensation around her chest had definitely soothed the pain.

Watching her smiling face, Isaac knew that she was no longer in pain after seeing the doctor.

She returned to her position to organize his recent schedule while receiving some calls for additional appointments in the process.

When there was nothing else to do, she read books to kill time. Besides, broadening her insight would be helpful for her in the future when she had a better idea for her new career.

Suddenly, she received a message from Darcie. ‘Tricia, I’m so sorry, but could you buy me some time? I know that I’ve promised to return the money in a month, but I haven’t settled down with the house price.’

Reading the text, Patricia thought that it would not be a problem to delay the payment for a few days. ‘Okay. I’ll inform him about it.’

‘Love you, Tricia!’ She smiled at the cringey sticker sent by Darcie.

She left the president’s office and headed toward the pantry with her mug. At that moment, she noticed that some of the employees stopped whispering and went back to their desks as soon as they saw her. Her brows knitted tightly and her grip tightened around the mug. Are they gossipping about me? Forget it. I’m Isaac’s personal assistant anyway. So, we’re meant to be close. Sigh, why is it so hard to earn myself some money?

Patricia entered the pantry to fill up her mug before giving a call to Gus while standing in front of a window.

“Patricia, are you calling to return the money?” Gus was happy as he had received his commission this month. If she was going to return the money right now, the debt would be settled.

“Gus, my friend is facing some problems at the moment. Can she return the money a few days later?”

He was stunned to hear that. “I gotta ask my boss about that.”

She smiled. “Just give me a call after you ask him.”

After terminating the call, Patricia took a sip of water while gazing out of the window. It felt as if there was hope in life and life itself was getting better as days passed. Now, her only wish was to see Poppy recover so that Darcie would not be in distress.

Subsequently, Gus called back and she answered the phone. “So, how is it?”

“Patricia, he said that it’s okay to take a few more days, but it’ll come with an interest.”

“Hmm, I understand. Tell your boss that I’m fine with it,” said a smiling Patricia as it was reasonable for them to charge an interest when they were going to postpone the payment.

“But the interest rate is kinda high, Patricia. It’s better to return the money as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, she promised sternly, “Okay. I’ll have my friend pay the money ASAP.”
