Perfect CEO

Chapter 213

“Gwen, can you not go?”

Due to her money-grubbing personality, Gwendolyn insisted on taking up this job anyway, since she would be paid five times as much for her overtime work.

She patted Zayden's hand and said, “I'll be back real soon. Just stay here and wait for me.”

She then withdrew her hand and followed Liam away.

The man upstairs stared at the man below who had grasped Gwendolyn's hand. His eyes darkened.

After all, men would understand other men better. Patrick was very well aware that Zayden liked Gwendolyn very much.

As he had not appeared in her life before that, Zayden was able to get closer to her.

However, now that he was there for her, Patrick would not give Zayden the chance to do so anymore.

Kevin watched as Gwendolyn followed Liam away and felt disinterested after that.

“Pat, you're just too mean to her. Since you're already engaged to another woman, can't you just let Gwen date another guy too?”

Regardless of how odd his words sounded, it was natural and right for Gwendolyn to date someone else if Patrick got engaged to a woman.

Patrick replied coldly, “I didn't get engaged willingly. Moreover, the engagement will be annulled later.”

With that, he strode away leisurely and entered the lounge.

Lucas patted Kevin's shoulder and said, “Unlike you, Pat's a very faithful guy. The engagement party was clearly a show put up by him for the others to see. Deep in his heart, Pat only has feelings for one girl alone.”

Kevin was perplexed. “He's already a powerful figure now, so why can't he make decisions about his marriage for himself?”

In his mind, Kevin thought Patrick was someone who could do anything that he wanted without a care in the world.

Since he's usually unafraid of any threats, why is Pat behaving so strangely this time?

Lucas raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I'm sure it's because of Old Mr. Lowen. Since his health is getting worse, only he can make Pat give in.”

Kevin nodded his head slightly. “You're right.”

Both of them then entered the lounge together. At that time, Patrick seemed to be in a better mood as he held his wineglass, sipping the wine in it.

Shortly after, the door was pushed open. It was Gwendolyn and Liam who entered the lounge.

The waiter then came into the room, serving them the dishes that were supposed to be served for the wedding reception.

Liam smiled gently and said, “Ms. Ashton, you can stay here and sample the dishes with Mr. Lowen. Feel free to make a list of any dishes that do not appeal to you.”

A look of surprise flashed through Gwendolyn's eyes as she looked at the handsome man.

Undeniably, Patrick looks exceptionally handsome today. Looks like he's in good spirits these days.

As Gwendolyn sat at the table, she picked up her fork and asked, “Would you like to have a taste as well, gentlemen?”

After all, she felt embarrassed having to sample the dishes by herself.

Before this, Gwendolyn truly had no idea there was a job that offered lavish and sumptuous food while earning five times the usual wage. It was indeed the best job she could have ever imagined. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

However, Kevin merely waved his hand dismissively as he smiled faintly.

“Help yourself then. We're not hungry yet.”

Upon hearing his words, Gwendolyn decided to go ahead and picked up her fork to taste the first dish. As soon as she ate it, her eyes narrowed instantly. It was so delicious that she could not find any fault with it.

Lucas furrowed his eyebrows. So Gwendolyn doesn't have any feelings for Pat. She seems so happy

while tasting those dishes. I don't see any signs of her feeling heartbroken at all,.

Calmly sipping his wine, Lucas sighed inwardly. Pat is such a pitiful person.

Meanwhile, Patrick stared at Gwendolyn, who was happily munching away. She's really enjoying her food.

Hence, he said in a nonchalant voice, “Feed me a bite of that, Gwendolyn.”

Just then, Gwendolyn lifted her head, frowning slightly at his words.

“Which dish would you like to have, Mr. Lowen? They're all quite delicious. Let me serve some onto your plate.”

With five times more than the average wage offered to her, Gwendolyn definitely had to do anything in order to please her boss!

Patrick's eyes darkened slightly. “Anything's fine. Just feed me whatever that you think is delicious.”

As he spoke, Patrick emphasized the words “feed me” as his stares became more and more intense and affectionate.

Gwendolyn then picked up some of the dishes she had just tasted. Despite her displeasure, Gwendolyn approached Patrick, who was sitting like a big boss and resting his arms on the armrest of the couch.

He stared at her deeply with his dark eyes, waiting for her to serve him.
