Chapter 59: Being Stubborn

When Zac saw Patricia angrily stomping out, his sexy thin lips curved up slightly.

He said meaningfully, "Since the Veyron Corp doesn't want to cooperate with the Reynolds Group, we'll
just have to choose another company!"

As soon as Zac finished speaking, Patricia stopped dead in her tracks just outside of the door.

She stood frozen in place as if her feet were stuck. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm
down.She couldn't act as she pleased.

The cooperation between the Reynolds Group and the Veyron Corp depended on her.

So, she couldn't afford to make a mistake at such a crucial moment.

Seeing Patricia rooted to that spot, Zac smiled confidently, his face expressing his complacency.

‘I've finally found this woman's weakness in her work.I knew that Patricia would attach great importance
to this partnership.So, she wouldn't leave so recklessly, and she would definitely compromise with me if
she needed to get the job done.’ "Only when I'm full can I have the strength to discuss the matter of our
collaboration."

Zac's voice floated over to where she stood.

Pursing her lips and lowering her head, she became lost in thought.

Zac made it clear that as long as she cooked a meal for him, she would be allowed to discuss the
collaboration with him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even give her the chance to talk to him.



After thinking for a while, Patricia slowly turned around, stared at Zac, and asked indifferently, "Will you
honor what you've just said, Mr.Reynolds?"

"Of course!"

Zac responded, staring at her with a triumphant smile on his thin lips. Hearing that, Patricia let out a
long sigh of relief and walked back inside quickly.

She placed her belongings on the sofa and picked up the food supplies on the table before heading
into the kitchen.

‘It was only one meal! No big deal.There was no need to be annoyed by this inconvenience.After all,
this was nothing compared to being intimate with Zac.’ Patricia used this thought to persuade herself,
after which she felt relieved and began to work in the kitchen.

Seeing Patricia busying herself in the kitchen preparing his meal, Zac couldn't stop the satisfied smile
spreading across his face.

He thought to himself that this is what a wife should look like! After being busy in the kitchen for a
while, Patricia came out with plates of food and a long face.

Using the ingredients Zac had bought, she made sweet and sour fish, fried meat with sharp pepper,
and water spinach with garlic.

This delicious meal opened up Zac's appetite.

He quickly devoured the food that was placed on the table.

Seeing that Zac enjoyed the food, Patricia, who sat on the sofa, was so red with rage that she clenched
her teeth.



She even turned her face away, not wanting to see him.

In order to get the contract signed as soon as possible, she had come over without having dinner.

At the moment, she was sitting on the side with an empty stomach.

When she saw Zac eating with such pleasure, she became really annoyed.

Noticing the displeased expression on her face, Zac said nonchalantly, "Do you want to eat with me?"

He knew what kind of person Patricia was.

She most likely got there without eating anything.

But he asked in this way just to provoke her.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr.Reynolds.I've already had a meal,"

Patricia responded in a polite voice, not willing to have a meal alone with Zac.

Upon hearing this, Zac frowned with displeasure.

He hated that Patricia spoke to him so formally.

If there was a chance, he would teach her a lesson! "Oh, really?"

Zac deliberately stressed the words and continued enjoying his food with a satisfied look on his face.

Patricia turned her head away as she was unwilling to see Zac's disgusting face.

However, at this time, her stomach growled loudly.

All of a sudden, Patricia covered her stomach with her hands shyly, blushing.



She turned around awkwardly, unwilling to let Zac see her like this.

‘Damn it! Why did my stomach choose this moment to grumble?’ she thought to herself.

Zac immediately burst into laughter and looked at her with amused eyes.

In his eyes, she was a very stubborn person, and he wanted to see how long she could hold on.

"What was that sound just now?" Zac teased.

Hearing Zac's laughter, Patricia became highly embarrassed.

She pursed her lips and said lightly, "Well...Mr.Reynolds, you must be mishearing things.I didn't hear
anything just now."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled again.This time, there was no denying it.

Her cheeks instantly flushed in embarrassment.

At that moment, Zac couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His deep eyes flashed with a trace of tenderness as he stared straight at Patricia.

"Let's eat together, Patricia,"

Zac said in a soft voice, but Patricia remained stubborn to the end and refused himagain.

She still had her back to him, not wanting to look at him.

Zac was furious as he stared at her back.

Clenching his chopsticks, he couldn't help but think she was too head- strong.



‘Even starving, she continues to refuse to eat with me, no matter how I coax her.Could it be that I don't
deserve to have dinner with her? Many women scramble to have dinner with me, but I am not
interested in them at all! So, I didn't expect Patricia to have no interest in eating a meal together with
me." Thinking this, Zac flew into a fury.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Patricia.In a rage, he said, "Come over and have dinner
with me!"

Patricia remained stationary and continued to ignore him.

Zac was so enraged, blue veins popped out on his forehead.

Angrily, he declared, "If you don't come over, then there will be no need to discuss our cooperation any
further!"

"Zac, you're violating your promise!"

Patricia turned around and stared at Zac, anger flashing across her bright eyes.

She had endured this for too long.

If Zac threatened her once more, she would definitely pay him back.

She quickly calmed down and became aloof again.

She said indifferently, "Mr.Reynolds, when doing business, it's best to keep your promises.You've been
threatening me with this collaboration again and again.It's too..."

Patricia said this in a loud voice, deliberately not finishing her sentence.

What she wanted to say was self-explanatory; even he would understand.



Noticing Patricia's angry expression, Zac raised his chin defiantly and looked at her with interest.

No matter what Patricia said, she could not change his mind after he'd made a decision.

"Really?"

Zac smiled, his dark eyes gleaming with a cold and domineering light.

Seeing the look in Zac's eyes, Patricia was a little shocked.

It had been a long time since she'd been afraid of him like this.

She couldn't help but take a step back, a trace of fear etched on her delicate face.

She opened her mouth but failed to say a single word. "Come here!"

Zac said firmly.

He fixed his domineering eyes on Patricia.

If she didn't do as he ordered, he would deal with her harshly.

Looking into Zac's cold, sharp eyes, Patricia let out a long breath.

She then walked to Zac's side subconsciously and sat down to dine with him.

Seeing that she was obediently eating, Zac smiled with satisfaction.

However, what Zac didn't know was that at the moment, Patricia was furious.

On the one hand, she had appeared to surrender without resistance, but on the other hand, she had
felt that she didn't have the strength to resist Zac.



After dinner, Patricia put away the dishes and cleaned the table.

Then she came to Zac with a smile and said flatly, "Mr.Reynolds, please have a look at the document
now."
