She had never looked like this before. In her eyes, he seemed to just be an ant.
That feeling made Patrick discontented, angry, and humiliated.
“Aren’t you leaving? Must I call the guards to chase you away?” Rodney walked over while smiling and raising his eyebrows.
Patrick clenched his fists. He left without turning his head back.
“When did you come? Why are you here?”
After Patrick left, Rodney became nervous. He did not expect Mireya to come and look for him first. It was as if the sun had risen from the west.
“The company still owes me a balance payment of five million dollars for the formulation last time which they said will be paid this month. I need your signature.” Mireya gave him the document.
“Oh, okay. I thought you especially came to thank me because I helped you to teach those people a lesson…”
Rodney took the document and put down his signature with a pen.
“You caused me to be in this state, yet you still want me to thank you?” Mireya hmphed.
“Alright, are you satisfied this time? You said that… as long as I deal with the Jackson family, some of the grudges between us can be resolved. ” Rodney looked at her awkwardly. “I did my best. Jackson Corporation’s reputation has hit rock bottom. As long as the supervision department keeps halting Jackson Corporation’s most profitable products from being manufactured, Jackson Corporation will face a cash flow crisis soon.”
Mireya lifted her eyelashes. She raised her head and glanced at him.
Rodney had always given her the impression that he had low EQ. He seemed to have a problem with his brain and was easily tricked by women.
However, she had heard how Rodney scolded Patrick just now from outside. His words were right on point and satisfying to hear.
She never expected he would say those words. “You… Why are you looking at me like that?”
Mireya’s dark eyes were large and bright. Rodney felt nervous from her gaze for the first time.
“How rare.” Mireya suddenly smiled and said, “Actually, now that you’re not dating Sarah anymore, there aren’t as many holes in your brain.” Rodney shot her an angry stare.
Mireya blinked her eyes charmingly. “Why are you glaring at me? My status is higher than yours now. I can torture you.”
Were those not the words Rodney had said to Patrick just now?
“Forget it. Since you helped me this time, I’ll treat you to a meal,” Mireya suddenly said, “There’s a Mexican restaurant that’s quite good downstairs. I’ll treat you to that.”
Rodney was taken aback. He was surprised. “O-Okay.”
It was about time to get off work too.
Rodney immediately closed his computer and followed her downstairs.
The Mexican restaurant was just at the adjacent building. Mireya ordered a serving of quesadillas, guacamole, nachos, and some other dishes.
Rodney glanced at the menu. He could not resist saying, “This place is a little too cheap, I…”
“What? Are you expecting me to treat you to expensive food?” Mireya blinked her eyes. “You’re not worth me spending more than 500 dollars.”
Rodney was speechless. “No, I can treat you. I don’t have the habit of letting women pay the bill.”
“No, I already said I’m treating you.” Mireya shook her head.
“Then I’ll treat you to a meal next time, ” Rodney said hurriedly. There was a word for that. It was to reciprocate.
Mireya glanced at him with a vague smile. “Rodney, don’t take me as a stepping stone to enter the Snow family. I’ll go to the Snow family and discuss it with your grandpa for them to agree to let you return to the Snow family. I have the baby of the Snow family in my stomach. They’ll surely follow my wishes. “
Rodney was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect that she would be so kind. “Why are you helping me? Actually, my grandpa asked me to marry you so that I can marry into the Snow family. That’s because they hope the child can have a complete family…”
“If the child’s parents don’t love each other but force themselves to be together, the child won’t have a complete family either.” Mireya shook her head.
“Don’t you hate me? You even cried last time, and you were quite agitated…” Rodney said reluctantly, ” I can sense that you don’t like your current life. “
” I have no choice. The doctor said I might not be able to get pregnant again if I abort this child.
Moreover, it’s already been a full three months. It’s impossible to abort it now. This is my fate.”
Mireya said regretfully, “The things in the past can’t be changed, but the future is in my own hands. I don’t want other people to manipulate my fate.”
“I’m sorry…” Rodney gazed at her in a daze. Actually, he thought Mireya was quite pitiful too.
Especially after meeting Patrick, he felt that Mireya was not any better than him in terms of relationships.
“Actually, your parents also hope that you can return to the Snow family. Whenever I’m with Aunty Wendy, she looks quite sad when she mentions you. She might say that she has gotten over it and doesn’t care about it anymore, but she can’t deceive me.”
Mireya said, “To be honest, I hate you. However, I understand your love for Sarah. You can’t control who you fall in love with. I just hope you can be more alert in the future and think more about your family who loves you. Don’t hurt them again because of your selfishness. You can love someone, but it shouldn’t hurt others.”
These days, maybe it was because she had been triggered by Patrick, Mireya had the time to think things through.
It was pointless for her to keep hating Rodney.
Looking back at herself, had she not kept clinging to Patrick, that unworthy guy, for so many years as well?
The most pathetic thing was that Patrick only remembered her shortcomings even though she had done so much.
Mireya laughed. She lifted the cup of coffee and took a huge sip.
Rodney pressed his thin lips together with mixed feelings. Mireya’s words surprised him.
It seemed like he could finally understand why the Snow family said Mireya was nice.
She was really nice.
Why was he so blind back then that he abandoned the Snow family, Mireya, and his child for Sarah?
He even passed off Mireya, a pearl, as rubbish.
“Mireya, that night… when you suddenly cried… I thought it was because of me and Chester. Actually, it was because you met Patrick, right?”
Rodney suddenly said, “Hearing him say those words today, I’m guessing he said some unpleasant words that night that made you lose control. You don’t have to pay him any mind. Patrick is not a good person. He’s just a fool like I was in the past. He’s not worth you being sad over.”
“I wasn’t sad because of him. I stopped loving him a long time ago. I was just… discontent. I worked hard and gave my everything, yet in the end, it still wasn’t good enough for him.”
“I understand. It’s just like how I treated Sarah. In the end, she treated me as a backup—an idiotic person and a fool. In fact, she utterly looks down on me. I can’t understand which part of me made her look down on me. I graduated from a renowned university. The company that I established…”
Rodney paused. He suddenly said, “Why don’t I order some wine? You can drink water. It’s not fun just sitting and chatting.” “… Suit yourself.”
Mireya hesitated and said.
Frankly speaking, if she were not pregnant, she would want to order two bottles of wine too.
After that, Rodney had the waiter bring two bottles of wine over.
However, Rodney could not hold his liquor. He was drunk after a meal.
He drank too much. In the end, he hugged the bottle and vented drunkenly, “Actually… I know that Shaun, Chester, and you are mocking me because… I… I’m stupid. I think I’m very stupid too, a complete idiot. Just for a woman… You don’t even know… She said I’m useless and I can’t compare to Shaun… And Chester…. Even the Snow family doesn’t want me… I’m worthless…
“I saw her… making out with that… President Yard with my own eyes… I caught her red-handed… But she didn’t panic, and she even… blamed me instead…
“I don’t understand… What did I do wrong? Even if she didn’t love me… For more than ten years… I complied with her demands. I put her… in my heart.
Did I f*cking do that… for her to humiliate me in the end?”
Initially, Mireya felt annoyed when she listened to him. Afterward, she saw his eyes redden. Toward the end, she did not know whether Rodney was foolish or pitiful.
Actually, she and Rodney had gone through similar situations.
They deeply loved a person and even gave their best, yet their feelings were not reciprocated and they were even trampled on in return.
Mireya kept drinking water in silence. After they finished the meal, she gave Ryan a call.
