Gwendolyn let out a deep sigh. Looks like he's in a bad mood after he got rejected.
She received another message: It'll still count toward your wage.
Gwendolyn rolled her eyes. Even if it didn't, I would have no opinion either way.
Over the next week, Gwendolyn came to work at the company every day. However, Patrick was
nowhere to be seen. She was very worried.
From time to time, Gwendolyn would always find herself staring at his office table. The office was very
quiet without him. It felt like the CEO's office was all hers now.
Just then, her phone rang. Patrick was calling her.
“Mr. Lowen,” she greeted.
Gwendolyn had not seen Patrick in a week, and she did not receive any messages from him either.
She was starting to doubt whether she actually knew him or not.
If I hadn't been in his office every day of the week, I would have thought that I was dreaming. As long
as he doesn't want to see me, I won't get to see him anytime soon.
Patrick stated, “Go with the chauffeur to pick me up at the airport.”
He then hung up the phone just like that. He's so heartless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGwendolyn slowly got up and picked up her handbag. She went to the underground parking lot and
saw the chauffeur idling by the car. He immediately snuffed out his cigarette upon noticing her.
“Ms. Ashton,” he greeted.
Gwendolyn responded, “Larry, we need to pick the CEO up at the airport.”
The chauffeur got into the car and started the engine, driving all the way to the airport.
Gwendolyn entered the airport entrance. She stood there waiting for Patrick to show up.
After around twenty minutes, a group of people could be seen walking toward the exit. Patrick, who
was wearing all black and had a cold look on his face, was in front of the crowd. He was walking in a
fast-paced manner.
The people beside him were all wearing suits. They were the managers of the company. He must've
gone on a business trip the whole week. No wonder I haven't seen him around. This also explains why
he didn't answer any of my phone calls.
Gwendolyn waved her hands at Patrick. She shouted, “Mr. Lowen! Over here!”
It was at that very moment that Felicia ran over to him.
She exclaimed, “Patrick! You're back!”
Then, she held his hand and they walked out together.
Gwendolyn slowly lowered her hands. She felt like she was only embarrassing herself just now. He has
his fiancée, while I'm just one of his secretaries. How could I even compare to her? I'm so stupid. To
think that I thought he'd be happy to see me come and pick him up.
Patrick gave Gwendolyn a slight glance when he and Felicia were passing by.
“Ms. Ashton, did you get the thing that I asked for?” he asked.
Gwendolyn followed them from behind. She glanced at the box of desserts in her hand and responded,
“Yes, I bought it.”
Since she thought that Patrick was hungry, she selected his favorite flavors when she bought the box of
desserts.
They left the airport together. Patrick and Felicia got into the backseat of the car, and Gwendolyn got
into the front passenger seat.
As the car drove away from the airport, Felicia suddenly let out a harsh-sounding laugh from behind.
She exclaimed, “Patrick! You were away for a whole week! I've missed you so much!”
Then, she leaned her head against Patrick and asked, “Can I stay at your home tonight?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Felicia said this, she glanced at the rear-view mirror in front of her and happened to meet
Gwendolyn's gaze.
Patrick did not respond. He seemed very tired as he leaned his back against the seat and looked out
the window with tired eyes.
He looked like he was thinking about something.
“Ms. Ashton, please give Fel the desserts. She wanted to eat it. Hand it over to me,” he ordered.
Gwendolyn tightened her grip on the box of desserts in her hands. She did not want to give it to Felicia.
After all, she bought it for Patrick.
With a smile on her face, Felicia exclaimed, “Gwendolyn, give it to me now!”
Felicia was in a good mood today. When she received a phone call from Patrick saying he wanted her
to put up a show at the airport, she rushed over without hesitation. She also saw a few people carrying
cameras at the airport just now.
They were probably the paparazzi. Felicia and Patrick were definitely going to be on the news soon. It
was no wonder Felicia was in a good mood.
Patrick will soon announce me as his fiancée! I'll become the envy of every woman in Avenport!
