"There are books there. You can read them if you want. I'm going to a meeting," Patrick said.
Gloria was stunned as Patrick turned around and walked out of the office, leaving her here alone.
Looking around, the decoration here was no different from three years ago. It was his usual style.
Gloria was arranged to sleep in Patrick's bedroom for two nights. However, she had not slept for two nights. She sat down on the sofa and soon could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the sofa.
About an hour later, the door opened silently.
Patrick stood at the door and was surprised to see that Gloria had fallen asleep on the sofa. Then, he walked to the sofa and looked at the woman in front of him for a long time.
It seemed that the temperature in the office was relatively low. Gloria, who was on the sofa, was not sleeping soundly and slowly curled up.
He took off his suit jacket and covered her with it. When he got close to Gloria, he heard her murmur.
"Mica..."
He paused and there was a cold chill in his eyes.
It turned out that she was still thinking about Mike. Patrick's lips slightly twitched.
Then what about Derrick?
Patrick was clear about the relationship between Mike and Derrick.
Patrick asked, "Is it Alpha Mike?"
"Mica... I'm sorry..." Gloria wouldn't be able to answer Patrick now.
Suddenly, Patrick stood up and walked out of the office with a frown. He went to a small conference room and took out his phone to call Mike.
He said, "It's me, Patrick."
A look of surprise flashed through Mike's eyes. He said, "Mr. Hammond, what's it?"
Patrick asked directly, "What's the relationship between you and Gloria?"
It was actually quite a strange question. Even a steady person like Mike was stunned for a moment before he said, "I met her once."
Mike was a little confused about why Patrick suddenly asked him this.
In the next second, he heard Patrick say, "Mr. Wyatt, your meeting is so special that Gloria cries 'Mike' in her dreams several times."
Mike, who was drinking water, was so shocked that he choked. He quickly said, "Mr. Hammond, are you kidding me? Derrick likes Miss Carter. I would never hit on his mate.
"Wait. You just said that Miss Carter was calling my name in her dream?" Mike felt strange. He suspected that he was so charming. Apart from the day when Derrick took Gloria to the appointment, Mike and Gloria only met once.
Mike couldn't help but ask again, "Alpha Patrick, are you sure she called 'Mike'?"
However, Patrick cut off the call without answering.
"Hello? Hello? Patrick, you haven't answered me yet!" Mike asked a few more questions and found that Patrick had already hung up.
Patrick pondered silently for a while. This was not the first time he had heard this name in Gloria's dream. If not for Mike, then who was it?
Patrick tapped on the table in the conference room. He suddenly stopped, and then he called Leonard. "Go and check if there is anyone called 'Mike' in the werewolf prison."
Obviously, when Gloria came back three years later, she had been calling this name in her dreams. Then, it might be related to the werewolf prison where she stayed for three years!
Patrick returned to the office. Gloria was sleeping soundly on the sofa, without any signs of waking up.
He sat behind the desk and started working. His secretary came in and said, "Mr. Hammond..."
Just as the secretary spoke, she saw Patrick behind the desk raise his index finger to signal her to be quiet. Patrick then looked at the sofa.
The secretary followed Patrick's gaze and saw a woman sleeping on the sofa. She immediately nodded.
She walked towards the desk, but the sound of high heels hitting the ground could not be eliminated. Patrick immediately glared at the secretary. The poor secretary's heart was beating so fast that she stood on tiptoe to walk.
Walking on tiptoe after wearing 8 center meter high heels could be considered torture!
The secretary finally walked to the desk and put the documents in her hand on it.
She lowered her voice and whispered, "Mr. Hammond, you need to sign this document."
The secretary looked at her boss signing his name elegantly. She felt bitter in her heart. Patrick just signed his name. But she had to take the document and go back like this.
However, it was the first time that Patrick, who had always been cold and indifferent, was so nervous and cautious. So, the secretary peeked at the sofa curiously.
Then, the secretary was a little disappointed, since she was such an ordinary girl.
Then, the secretary felt that she looked a little familiar, so she took a closer look. This time, the secretary recognized her.
The secretary couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hammond, that girl is very similar to Miss Carter back then."
Maybe the secretary's voice was a little loud, or the temperature in the room was low. Gloria opened her eyes.
Gloria blinked and looked around the room. When Gloria saw Patrick behind the desk, she immediately sobered up.
"Come here, Gloria." Patrick waved at Gloria, who had just woken up.
Gloria was stunned, and so was the secretary.
"Miss Carter?" The secretary exclaimed.
When Gloria met the secretary's disbelieving eyes, her body trembled.
"Are you Gloria?" The secretary was surprised. She quickly walked to the sofa.
Gloria's face turned pale. Her disbelieving expression embarrassed Gloria.
It somehow reminded Gloria of the unbearable torture she had experienced in those three years.
"Miranda." Gloria forced out an extremely awkward and pale smile. "Long time no see."
Miranda could not believe that the woman in front of her was Gloria.
Miranda wanted to ask Gloria how she had become like this, but Miranda suddenly realized that it was inappropriate. Miranda said awkwardly, "Miss Carter, I have to go back to work."
As Miranda spoke, she left the president's office as if she was escaping.
