Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 125

Gwendolyn suddenly thought of what happened last night. She could not let her effort go down the drain.

She had finished the bottle of wine, leading her to suffer from an alcohol allergy. Gwendolyn felt discomfort on her skin and head.

If Lucas went back on his words, it was too much of a loss for her.

Gwendolyn could see that both Kevin and Lucas were afraid of Patrick. Hence, she wanted Patrick to be her support so that Lucas would not break his promise.

Hearing her words, Patrick chuckled coldly. “Can't you see he was only messing with you?”

“Huh?” Gwendolyn was a simpleton. She did not realize that Lucas had tricked her.

Patrick knew Gwendolyn would believe Lucas. He explained to her, “Did he say that he'll think about it after you finish the bottle of wine?”

“Yes! That's exactly what he said.” Gwendolyn nodded profusely.

Seeing the look on her face, Patrick reached out his hand and patted her head. “My dear, even though he said that he'd consider it, in the end, he won't agree.”

His words took Gwendolyn by surprise. I can't believe he did that! Ugh. They're indeed the same kind of people and like to deceive others. How annoying!

Gwendolyn was infuriated after hearing what Patrick said. “Am I supposed to let him go just like that? After I've drunk so much wine?”

Seeing that she was fuming with rage, the man kindly reminded her, “Gwendolyn, Lucas is a major- general. His particular profession requires him to be in the best physical state. That's why he can't donate his bone marrow.”

Gwendolyn sank into deep thought, trying to process everything Patrick had said.

Deep inside, she understood the situation. However, Melanie was just a young little girl.

Gwendolyn wanted to do something to keep Melanie alive.

She looked glum and did not know what to do.

Soon, the two arrived at the company. After getting down from the car, Gwendolyn deliberately sauntered behind Patrick.

Seeing that she was still a distance away after he entered the elevator, Patrick yelled, “Walk faster, Gwendolyn!”

The receptionists and security guards heard Patrick shouting, and Gwendolyn gave him a look. She wanted to keep her distance from Patrick as she refused to let her colleagues think she got into the company with his help.

She landed the job with her capabilities, and she did not want to hear any rumors.

However, it seemed like Patrick did not figure out what Gwendolyn was thinking as he shouted at her to get into the elevator. Very soon, the whole company would hear about them.

Lowering her head, she ran into the elevator.

Patrick pressed the “close door” button and turned to look at Gwendolyn beside him.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Why are you looking at me, Mr. Lowen? Is there dirt on my face?” She forced out a smile when she could not stand his staring anymore.

Suddenly, Gwendolyn saw the bite mark on Patrick's neck. It was a noticeable bruise.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she quickly looked away. It wasn't me who bit him, right?

Gwendolyn tried to recall if she had bitten him but to no avail. It shouldn't be me. It can't be me. I don't simply bite people when I'm drunk.

Patrick noticed she had seen the bruise on his neck. Raising his brows, he chuckled. “Are you unwilling to be seen at work with me?”

There was a hint of faint laughter in his icy voice. Gwendolyn could sense both warmth and cold from Patrick.

“Mr. Lowen, did you not hear the rumors speculating in the office? They're saying that I'm the CEO's future wife, so to avoid any more misunderstandings, I think it's better if we keep our distance,” Gwendolyn answered after returning to her senses.

Patrick raised his hands and touched his neck. “Well...”

Her eyes widened, and she quickly averted her gaze as he did that. Please don't talk about the bite mark.

Patrick's smile broadened as he cheekily teased, “Don't you want to be the CEO's wife, Gwendolyn? If you become the CEO's wife, Lowen Group will be backing you. And with me, you'd be a wealthy woman.”
