Suddenly, he heard light footsteps behind him. Patrick was a werewolf, and he had a keen sense of hearing and smell.
Thus, he knew at once that it was Gloria.
Patrick turned his head. Seeing how tentative Gloria was, he began to get furious again.
His wolf always emphasized that Gloria was their mate, but he never wanted to admit it. He hated to admit. that the cowardly, humble woman in front of him was his mate.
However, Patrick couldn’t manage to ignore the fact that she was standing right there.
Also, she could always affect his mood easily.
“Stop right there. Where are you going?” said Patrick..
“I’m going to work, Mr. Hammond,” Gloria replied calmly.
She sounded respectful, but Patrick could still sense her stubbornness.
“Work? With your current condition? Do you know you almost died just now?” Patrick shouted in anger, again at Gloria’s words.
He thought, “You care about nothing but money! You almost died! And right after that, all you care about is making money. Does anything besides money mean something to you?
Is Mike your second priority?”
At the thought of that, Patrick became even angrier.
“If there’s nothing else, Mr. Hammond, I’m going to work now.” Gloria was still the same, jittered and stooped. It seemed that her spine was born crooked.
Seeing her like that made Patrick pissed off. Though he also felt a trace of sadness, he deliberately chose to ignore such an emotion.
“Alright then. I’m lucky to have such a hard–working employee like you. Since you love your job so much, then, work diligently and make a million dollars in a month,” Patrick said coldly.
Gloria had a feeling that she was going to pass out again.
She turned to look at the man sitting on the sofa in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, “Mr. Hammond, are you asking me to transfer a million dollars into that bank card within a month?”
Patrick didn’t answer. He simply waved his hand with a sneer. Then he said, “Go back to work. You can do it since you are such a good employee.”
He even encouraged her, “You got this. I know it.”
Patrick’s blunt mockery made Gloria’s face turn pale.

Her lips were trembling. Her eyes widened and she looked at Patrick seriously, as if he was the only one left in her world.
Slowly, she opened her mouth and moved her lips. Yet in the end, she did not say a word, much less entreat him.
“I see, Mr. Hammond. After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into the elevator.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Patrick suddenly revealed a merciless smile while sitting on the sofa.
He thought, ‘Gloria used to beg me for mercy. What about now? She doesn’t even bother to do that anymore. Everything began to change after she met Mike.”
Patrick mind–linked Leonard.
Patrick ordered, “Go and do some digging about Mike Wyatt, the Alpha of the Sea Moon Pack.”
“Yes, Alpha Patrick, Leonard responded through the mind link.
Patrick didn’t say another word. Instead, he directly cut off the conversation.
Standing in the living room of the suite on the top floor of Fittro Club, Patrick suddenly grabbed the cup on the coffee table and smashed it towards the television.
The cup cracked with a loud sound, and a huge crack appeared on the television screen.
Meanwhile, the intercom went off at the entrance of the elevator, and the voice of the staff of Fittro Club rang out, saying, “Mr. Hammond, Mr. Mason sent someone to bring the medicine here. Shall we bring it to you now?”
“Send it to Christine and have her take it to Gloria,” When Patrick was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered something. Then he added, “Don’t tell Gloria I sent it.“.
The staff handed the medicine to Leonard and told him about Patrick’s request.
Leonard nodded and took the medicine.
Suddenly, he sensed that Patrick was calling him through the mind link. He responded at once.
Patrick’s voice sounded in Leonard’s mind. Patrick said, “After you bring the medicine to Christine, check out what happened in Toby’s room today. I need every detail.”
“Yes, Mr. Hammond.”
“Go.
Patrick cut off the conversation again. Immediately, Leonard walked towards Christine’s office hurriedly.
He was a bit puzzled. He thought, ‘Alpha Patrick cares about Gloria a lot. Why doesn’t he want Gloria to
know?
Alpha Patrick is so mean to Gloria. However, he is so concerned about what happened today. Why? I don’t get it.‘

Leonard knocked on the door. He pushed the door open and entered the office after Christine’s permission.
Christine looked at Leonard in surprise and said, “Why are you here?”

Christine was smart. She immediately realized something and said, “You came with an order from Mr. Hammond, right?”
Leonard placed the medicine on Christine’s desk. “Make sure Miss Carter takes the medicine on time.”
Christine glanced at the medicine on the desk. “It’s wolf herbs. How did you know that Gloria was having a fever?”
Leonard frowned slightly. He replied calmly without any changes in his expression, “How did you know?”
“She got caught in the rain on her way home from work a while ago. She didn’t feel well when she got back. She felt dizzy, and she even fell, leaving a huge wound on her forehead. I’m not blind. I saw it.”
“So, you know Miss Carter hasn’t been feeling well. Then why didn’t you grant her to leave?” Leonard asked angrily.
“You’re so funny. Are you saying that I exploited Gloria? That I bullied her?” Christine rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t need to do that, OK? She cares about nothing else but making money. Don’t tell me you didn’t know about Mr. Hammond’s one–million–dollar request to Gloria. She is working her ass off because of ft. She hasn’t fully recovered yet, and the stitches on her forehead are still there. And she has already come back pestering me if I’ve got a job for her.”
“Is that the reason why you set her up for a dangerous job like that?” Leonard asked, frowning.
