Everyone was focused on Patrick, surprised by his loud laughter.
Confused by him, Jimmy asked, "Man, why are you laughing?"
Patrick cleared his throat, ignoring Jimmy. His gaze remained fixed on Aurora in front of him.
A friendly smile crossed his lips. "Aurora, no need to speak casually to me here. Just think of me as your friend."
"But you're her boss, you know," Jimmy interrupted. "And since you're older, it makes sense for her to call you that."
Patrick's face soured.
He shot an annoyed glance at Jimmy, silently urging him to stop talking before returning to look at Aurora.
"Don't hear Uncle Jimmy, Aurora... Just focus on me. You can call me Patrick, or 'big brother' works too," he said gently, giving a slight nod.
If other women saw Patrick now, they might flutter at his sweetness.
However, Aurora nearly erupted in laughter.
She found it amusing how Patrick appeared sweet to her. She felt as if this man were talking to her previous self.
