Perfect CEO

Chapter 254

Just then, Gwendolyn received a call from Zayden.

She answered, “Hello?”

“Gwen, I just passed your company, and I would be delighted if I could have lunch with you.”

Wow! He called just when I wanted to treat myself to a good meal. Surprised to hear Zayden was downstairs, she replied, “Okay. Where are you now? I'll come over.”

Zayden gave a cursory glance at the woman and man sitting opposite him and answered, “I'm at the Ferropenian restaurant opposite your company.”

“Okay. I'll join you in a bit,” Gwendolyn replied.

As soon as she got up, she headed to the restroom in Patrick's lounge to apply lipstick and tidy her hair.

She was dressed rather formally that day. She wore a coat on the outside, a shirt, and a tight-fitting skirt with a pair of black stockings on the inside. The outfit prompted her to apply red lipstick, making her more captivating.

Afterward, she headed to the restaurant opposite the company. When she entered the restaurant, she spotted Rosalie and Patrick, and a hint of surprise flashed in Gwendolyn's eyes.

She didn't notice that they were having a meal in this particular restaurant when she observed the photo posted previously.

Without pondering further, she headed toward the table where Zayden was and sat before him.

“I'm here.”

Zayden pushed a glass of water toward her and said, “Have a drink.”

He then snapped his fingers, and a waiter approached them.

“You can serve the food now.”

Gwendolyn took a sip of the warm lemon water and asked, “Did you manage to find anyone through blind dates?”

Zayden's expression slightly changed as he didn't expect her to raise such a topic.

With a cold expression, he answered, “No.”

After the appetizer was served, Zayden took some for Gwendolyn with his fork and knife.

“You look skinnier lately. You should have more.”

Surprise flashed in Gwendolyn's eyes when she heard that. Am I skinnier? Why do I feel like I'm fatter?

Either way, she hadn't had Ferropenian cuisine for a long time, and the appetizer tasted incredible.

Rosalie was sitting opposite them, and if she raised her head, she could see Gwendolyn. When she did so, her eyes lit up.

“Gwen!”

When Patrick heard her calling Gwendolyn's name, he turned in Gwendolyn's direction.

Upon spotting Patrick's stare, Zayden nodded at him lightly as a greeting. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Patrick's expression darkened, and he glimpsed at the woman who had her back toward him and her head lowered to eat her food with an indifferent gaze. She didn't notice his attention on her at all.

Rosalie smiled. “I didn't know that Gwen is Mr. Surrington's friend. They seem close.”

She became more excited when she stated that out loud.

Rosalie's initial belief was that Patrick would be cold toward her after having a girlfriend. She was surprised, however, to find that he was warmer toward her than before. At least, he was willing to talk to her at that moment.

When she spotted Gwendolyn with Zayden, she figured that Zayden must have fallen for Gwendolyn. Based on her experience of falling for someone, she could tell that Zayden was passionate toward Gwendolyn through his eyes with just one look.

Patrick didn't comment on anything. He hardly ate his meal too.

He merely had his cup in his hand and sipped his coffee. Besides that, his expression was grimmer

than before.

Rosalie detected that he didn't speak as much after arriving at the restaurant.

Hence, she had to initiate a conversation. “Pat, does Kevin have a girlfriend now? My grandma loves him the most. She can't wait to have his child in her arms!”

Patrick knew that, in the Chavez family, Linda loved Kevin the most as he was the most fetching among her three grandchildren.

Moreover, he knew how to pour out flattering words and was good at coaxing Linda. That was why his grandmother favored him.

Patrick answered flatly, “I don't know.”

Patrick didn't like to get involved in people's affairs and wouldn't snoop on his friend's romantic life either.

At that point, Rosalie could clearly feel that he wasn't in a good mood and his coldness toward her.

She then raised her head to look at the table near them. When she spotted the smile on Zayden's face, she turned her attention to the man sitting before her. Pat is so cold. But he always treats everyone coldly. I must get used to it soon.

With that, she decided to eat her meal and keep mum.

Gwendolyn, on the other hand, had her full attention on her meal. She was incredibly pleased with the

food. Every dish was exquisite, and they tasted terrific.

“Gwendolyn, are you done eating? You should go back to work soon.”
