Chapter 353: What a gentleman
The dinner started quietly, with only a few exchanges between Zoren and Patricia. It wasn’t until they were in the middle of the meal that the conversation picked up.
"I see..." Zoren nodded. "So you had your own boutique?"
"Yes," Patricia replied with a proud grin. "And all of them were my designs."
During their first meeting, all they had talked about was something... trivial. More like general stories about themselves and a little bit about the past. Now, they were delving deeper into each other’s backgrounds—like a real date.
"So far, everything is great!" she continued. "Some of my friends supported my brand and even promoted it, even though I never asked them to do that."
"Oh?" Zoren nodded in understanding. "You have nice friends."
Nice? Patricia almost sneered at the thought.
"We just support each other," she said with a smile. "That’s what friends are for."
Zoren nodded, twirling his wine slightly. "And your brother? Has he not supported you? You didn’t mention him in your story."
"Renren, why would I want my brother to meddle with my business?" she pouted. "My brother already has a lot on his plate. Moreover, I want to excel as an individual and not rely on my family’s success!"
