162 162. Patrick’s Nightmare

BWB 162

Patrick could only pensive in his study. He stared blankly at the empty table in front of him. How could he not, the woman he loved so much had left him. He was abandoned by the person he really wanted to be with.

He pounded the table. His anger at Clara was unstoppable. His illegitimate child had made Linda, the woman he loved, just walk away, leaving him alone.

Patrick was feeling crazy. He deeply regretted that he had lost the thing that was most precious to him.

“This is all because of that damn woman! Bastard!” Patrick shrieked as he threw his cognac bottle onto the marble floor, getting it wet and dangerous with shards of glass.

Patrick took another bottle. That night, he kept dreaming and cursing everyone. Including himself.

“Stupid Clara! Stupid Patrick! Stupid Eva!” The words he chanted like a spell. Cursing his foolishness, Eva the temptress, and Clara, the innocent child born from her illegitimate relationship.

Patrick fell asleep in his study. He slept with the bottles of wine. His nightmare came back. Linda was leaving him.

.....

Patrick Decker, the man hailed by the media as the perfect man, had everything in this world. A shining career at a very young age accompanied by abundant wealth, a beautiful wife like an angel, and a cute child. Everything a human could desire was in him. The wealthy man, with a happy family.

Every colleague looked at Patrick with extraordinary looks, either adoration, awe, or envy. However, all the praise and obstacles did not seem to affect Patrick’s life. He can always go through everything in proportion.

Of course, there was a very meritorious figure behind Patrick’s shining achievements. Who else if not the beloved empress – Linda? Linda had always supported her husband since they were not married. Bringing Patrick out of the darkness of the night and bringing him into the bright sunlight.

There was no wife as great as Linda who can help with her husband’s work perfectly. Never once had Patrick been dissatisfied with his wife’s help.

After giving birth, Linda, who used to often visit Patrick at the office, and even accompanied him when he was out of town, became more often at home. It was then that Patrick began to need the help of a secretary.

Patrick, who was indeed very handsome, was the target of shameless women. However, Patrick was very good at taking care of himself. No woman could put Patrick away from his wife’s sight.

What a laudable Patrick. Linda felt very lucky to have a husband like Patrick. Something that a woman craves. True loyalty to a partner.

One day, Patrick was forced to find a secretary because Alya, his current secretary, submitted her resignation due to pregnancy. It was then that the turning point in Patrick’s life began. People wouldn’t understand, because, on the outside, everything seemed fine.

Eva, Patrick’s new secretary, was a woman of extraordinary charm. During this time, she had an outstanding track record of attracting men. No man will be able to resist the beauty and grace of the secretary’s body. Somehow she could be in Patrick’s office now. What can he do, she was also not a haphazard person at work. She really knew what a professional secretary had to do.

However, Eva was never loyal to just one superior. She chose to always change bosses so as not to get bored. In principle, tasting lots of delicious dishes would make her life more challenging. Several big bosses, who once had Eva were now curious whether Patrick would also fall into the power of lust offered by Eva.

One day, while at a party, Linda greeted one of her old friends, Irene, who was also the wife of a director at a well-known oil company. An old friend was an officially embedded title. However, in truth, the women who sat on the upper tier of the social bench were always chatting as if they were holding daggers in their mouths. That’s why Linda wasn’t too excited about attending a party thrown by her husband’s business partner.

Irene approached Linda with a cynical grin that was not hidden as if she had come to wave the war flag with high confidence that she would win. “How are you, Linda? Long time no see.”

“Of course, I’m well,” Linda replied curtly and coldly. She didn’t like Irene’s temperament, who would only greet her if something bad happened.

“Oh, I didn’t think it would be that good,” Irene said with a really sickening smile. “Oh! I heard, now your husband is changing secretaries, right? Her name if I’m not mistaken is ....” Irene pretended to try to remember the name of the person she was going to call to give a dramatic impression.

“Eva!” Linda said without looking at Irene. She just stared at her drink without blinking. Honestly, Linda wanted to run away from where she was standing at this time. She didn’t want to give the viper next to her time to bite and inject venom into her body.

“Oh, yes! Aah, I forgot. Eva! Even though she is very famous among our friends!” continued Irene with a very coquettish style.

“Irene. Exactly, what do you want?” asked Linda angrily. She really did not want to linger in this very stupid atmosphere. “I never liked gossip. And I don’t want to hear any gossip about Eva! She’s nice. Even now, she’s looking after my Noel at home.”

“Ooh, Linda! You’re so emotional. I certainly wouldn’t share gossip with a woman who doesn’t like slanted news. However....” Again, Irene stopped because she wanted to emphasize every word. Her sly eyes looked at Linda as if she was going to eat her alive. “I’m sure you will definitely not refuse news from me this time.”

Linda was angry. She hurriedly stepped away from Irene, revealing a view of the beautiful legs behind the slit of her long dress. However, Irene quickly prevented her little friend from escaping by saying, “Sexretary!”
