Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347: Choose a side before it’s too late

"Patricia, nice to see you too." Nina’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. "It’s been a while."

"It has been!" Patricia, now a beautiful woman, flipped her shiny hair as she casually invited herself to Nina’s table. "How nice, meeting you here!"

Nina smiled, staring at the spot where Patricia had sat down. "Someone is seated there."

"Oh? Are you with a friend?" Patricia furrowed her brows. "Or is it a client? Don’t tell me it’s your fiancé?"

"Patricia." Nina forced herself to maintain a smile. "Please, not here?"

"Not here? What do you mean?" Patricia tilted her head to the side. "If you’re with a client, then I’ll just hire you. That way, I’m a client now. Isn’t that better?"

The corners of her lips curled up as her eyes sharpened a little, while Nina maintained her poise.

Ever since what happened when they were children, there was nothing that could repair their friendship. Nina had reached out to Patricia before and apologized, but all she got in return was a slap on the face and a lot of harsh words from her.

Nina took it.

She took everything because she knew it was her fault. It was Nina who betrayed Patricia and ruined their beautiful friendship. Therefore, she didn’t complain and moved on with regret in her heart.

Many years later, when they started attending university, they met again. Since then, Patricia never left her alone and often picked on her. Even as adults, it was the same whenever they crossed paths. Today wouldn’t be any different.

"Patricia." Nina breathed out calmly. "What do you want now?"

"What do I want? Nina, why do you always sound like I am following you just to harass you?" Patricia arched a brow. "Meeting you here is a coincidence! I came here to meet my friends, but I arrived first." _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

"They must be very important friends for you to come in early."

"Of course," Patricia smirked proudly. "They’re not just anyone. I mean, my circle of friends isn’t just any nobodies. I choose my people now, you know? I have to be careful because if I don’t, I might get stabbed in the back by a jealous fraud."

"..." At this point, Nina shouldn’t be affected by such innuendos because it wasn’t the first time she had heard something like this. However, she couldn’t help it. Even so, she squashed down the rising displeasure in her heart with a smile.

"Is that so?" she replied, smiling. "Good for you, then."

"Anyway, weren’t you an interior designer?" Patricia comfortably leaned back and crossed one leg over the other. "I might need your help with something."

"If you have any inquiries, you can always contact our office —"

"And why would I do that?" Patricia tilted her head to the side. "You’re already here, and I am your client. Didn’t we establish that just now?"

"Patricia, I can’t just toss aside my client because another one came in." Nina maintained a calm demeanor while reasoning with her. "That’s not how it works."

Patricia arched a brow. "Not how it works? Are you sure?"

’What nonsense is she blabbering about now?’ Nina wondered, but she kept her thoughts to herself, knowing Patricia’s short temper.
