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. âItâs not a big problem, but it is highly advisable to not take a
shower tonight. Otherwise, itâll take longer for it to recover.â
She then took out a cream from the medical kit. âApply this cream thrice a day. It should recover within
three days.â
While Patricia applied the cream by herself, Elira left the lounge and went toward Isaacâs desk.
âPresident Arnold, Iâve checked on her and it should be fine after applying the cream for a few days.â
He looked at her and said indifferently, âThank you, Dr. Caddel. Liam is waiting for you outside to make
payment to you.â
âNo, thatâs not necessary. Iâve just done my job.â She shook her head as she dared not receive extra
money when it was an order from Nikola himself.
âI insist,â stated the man as it was actually a bribe for her to keep it a secret.
In the end, she gave in. âThank you, President Arnold.â
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. âTricia, Iâm so sorry, but could you buy me some time?
I know that Iâve promised to return the money in a month, but I havenât settled down with the house
price.â
Reading the text, Patricia thought that it would not be a problem to delay the payment for a few days.
âOkay. Iâll inform him about it.â
âLove you, Tricia!â She smiled at the cringey sticker sent by Darcie.
She left the presidentâs 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. Iâm Isaacâs personal assistant anyway. So, weâre 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.
âPatricia, are you calling to return the money?â 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.
âGus, my friend is facing some problems at the moment. Can she return the money a few days later?â
He was stunned to hear that. âI gotta ask my boss about that.â
She smiled. âJust give me a call after you ask him.â
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. âSo, how is it?â
âPatricia, he said that itâs okay to take a few more days, but itâll come with an interest.â
âHmm, I understand. Tell your boss that Iâm fine with it,â said a smiling Patricia as it was reasonable for
them to charge an interest when they were going to postpone the payment.
âBut the interest rate is kinda high, Patricia. Itâs better to return the money as soon as possible.â
Hearing that, she promised sternly, âOkay. Iâll have my friend pay the money ASAP.â
