Meanwhile, Gwendolyn sat at the table in the banquet hall. Zayden, who sat close to her, picked up a piece of fruit with a fork and fed it to her.
Gwendolyn was taken aback as she tilted her head back before eating the fruit he offered.
“Zayden, I can do it myself.”
They had been photographed countless times along the way from the entrance to the banquet hall. He made it seem like something was going on between them by sitting close to her and feeding her fruits intimately.
Besides, she could already sense an intent gaze on her, making her feel a chill running down her back.
However, after glancing around, she did not spot anyone staring at her.
The gaze was familiar, but cold and terrifying.
When Zayden saw her blushing, he flashed her a faint smile with his lips quirked up.
“I am willing to serve you.”
With that, Gwendolyn chuckled. A genuine, happy smile spread across her face.
Patrick's face fell when he saw her smiling face.
On the contrary, Kevin watched delightedly and exclaimed, “Pat, Gwen knows how to seek revenge
after all! Haha!”
That woman usually seems like a person who is generous and doesn't hold grudges. I did not expect that she would show up with another man at Pat's engagement party and be so intimate with the man. Now that I see them, they look great together, like a match made in heaven.
Patrick turned around and leaned against the railing as he could no longer watch.
Lucas smiled and said, “Pat, why don't you elope with her? That seems so cool.”
After gently tapping the railing with his long fingers, Patrick took out his phone and sent a message.
He texted Liam: Make Zayden stay away from Gwendolyn.
He sent the text to Liam, who was welcoming the guests on Patrick's behalf at the lobby. When Liam saw the message on his phone, his expression slightly changed.
As Patrick had given him a difficult task, he had no choice but to have Amber and the rest welcome the guests.
Almost every employee in the company had arrived. Those who worked in the CEO's office were close to Patrick, and so they were busy attending to the guests with Liam.
Liam entered the banquet hall and searched around before he spotted Gwendolyn sitting at the second table near the stage.
After walking up to Gwendolyn, he leaned closer to her ears and stated, “Ms. Ashton, everyone from
the CEO's office is helping out. Why are you sitting here? Please follow me and help us out.”
In fact, Liam dared not ask Gwendolyn to do anything and only wanted her to try the dishes in the lounge backstage.
This should be a good excuse. Besides, I can only think of this idea at the moment.
Gwendolyn glanced at Zayden at the side before asking, “Mr. Derner, I did not receive such a notice! Do I get paid for working overtime?”
As she cared more about the money, she was willing to do it if she would get paid. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I could save up more in the next month. By saving up monthly, I might be able to buy a small house after some time. By then, our family will have a proper home. I never feel safe staying in a rented house. Who knows when the landlord will decide to use the house for herself? By then, I will have to look for a new place to stay. Besides, a home is essential for the children's childhood, and I wish to provide them with a permanent home that will remain in their childhood memories.
Liam frowned slightly. What's wrong with Ms. Ashton? Why is she responding this way? Her man is getting engaged to another woman and will be taken away from her soon. How could she not mind it at all?
At the thought of it, Liam felt sorry for Patrick. Does Ms. Ashton have no feelings for Mr. Lowen after all? Could it be a one-sided love? What a pity!
“Of course, you will get paid five times the wage.”
When Gwendolyn heard his words, she stood up immediately.
“I'll go then.”
After turning around to look at Zayden at the side, she flashed him a sneaky smile.
“Zayden, I'm sorry. I am Mr. Lowen's secretary and still have work to do. I'll be back to accompany you after I finish working.”
After finishing her words, she was about to leave happily to earn some money when Zayden suddenly grabbed her hand.
