Gwendolyn refused to pass the box of desserts over. She did not want to give it to Felicia. Therefore,
she pretended not to hear her.
Of course, Felicia was aware of this. What is her problem?
She raised her foot and kicked Gwendolyn's seat. She shouted, “Gwendolyn! Did you hear me? Patrick
bought those for me. You're just his secretary!”
Felicia was sure that Gwendolyn was allowed in Patrick's house only because she was his secretary.
That's all to it.
Even though Felicia was only acting, she still made Gwendolyn feel uncomfortable.
Patrick did not seem quite happy when Felicia kicked Gwendolyn's seat just now. His gaze turned
slightly colder.
But as he noticed that Gwendolyn was angry, he asked, “Ms. Ashton, I bought those desserts for my
grandpa. Can you give them to him?”
Hector had woken up. That was why Patrick asked Felicia to pick him up. They were currently headed
toward the Lowen residence together.
Only then did Gwendolyn understand. “Of course!” she replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was happy with his explanation. I didn't go through the trouble of buying these desserts just to
hand them over to Felicia, after all.
After an hour and a half, the car finally arrived at the Lowen residence. It was parked inside the garage.
The chauffeur opened the car door for Patrick.
Gwendolyn got out of the car by herself. She was supposed to open the door for Felicia, but she didn't
want to. Hmph! I definitely won't open the door for her.
Holding the box of desserts, Gwendolyn walked over to Patrick. She gently shook the box in front of
him.
She asked, “If I give this to you, will you let me get off work?”
You brought your girlfriend back to your own home. I have the right to go home and be with my kids
too, you know?
Patrick noticed that Gwendolyn had an upset expression on her face. I haven't seen her for a whole
week, and I missed her every single day I was away. That was the reason why I called her to pick me
up at the airport. So, why does she have that look on her face now?
Patrick frowned slightly at Gwendolyn, who looked like she did not want to see him.
He asked, “Ms. Ashton, are you planning to change jobs or something?”
Upon hearing this, Gwendolyn quickly put on a smile and coaxed him by saying, “Mr. Lowen, I think I
can do this job just fine. What do you want me to do? Please tell me.”
Of course, what she was truly feeling was different from what she said just now. You're being so petty!
Is it because you don't like the fact that my salary is high? Is that why you're so eager to fire me?
Patrick saw Gwendolyn forcing a smile, which made her petite face look much more pleasing to the
eye.
He lifted his head up and stated, “My grandpa woke up today. This is something worth celebrating.
Because of that, my grandma asked if you could stay for dinner.”
Gwendolyn knew that Hector had been sick for many years. Since he was all better now, it definitely
was something worth celebrating.
Hence, she nodded her head. “Of course!”
Meanwhile, Felicia was still waiting for someone to open the car door for her. She waited and waited,
but not even the chauffeur opened the door for her.
After a long while, she was forced to push open the door by herself. When she got out of the car, she

“Gwendolyn! Why didn't you open the door for me?” she shouted.
This is something that a secretary is supposed to do, you know? I'm your boss' girlfriend. You have to
treat me well.
Gwendolyn glared at her. With a cold expression on her face, she replied, “I'm sorry, Felicia. I was busy
with the work that Mr. Lowen assigned to me earlier. Aren't you able to open the door by yourself? Or
do you have no arms?”
Those words angered Felicia so much that she wanted to retaliate.
Gwendolyn furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance. She announced, “Mr. Lowen, I'll go see Old Mrs.
Lowen now.”
After saying that, she proceeded to carry the box of desserts into the house.
Felicia's eyes widened in shock. She immediately walked over to Patrick and exclaimed, “Patrick, just
look at her! She doesn't even act like a secretary!”
Patrick calmly glanced at her. “Just play your part according to our agreement. Don't worry about
anything else.”
After he said that, he proceeded to walk up the stairs briskly.
