Perfect CEO

Chapter 19

Gwendolyn was even more agitated at the mention of her daughter.

“No way! She's still a child! How can she possibly work at such a young age? I should be the one doing hard labor instead of her.”

Little did she know, Gwendolyn had fallen into Patrick's devious plan.

He then raised his eyebrows as he took a piece of paper and pen before writing down a promissory note.

“I don't mind having you work for me, anyway. It's quite troublesome to have a young child working.”

In truth, he would not have thought of letting Juliette work in his house, anyway. The young child would have been pampered like a little princess if she were to stay in his place.

Initially, Patrick had only wanted to tease Gwendolyn. However, after seeing her serious response, he thought that she would be the perfect companion for him, as he needed someone who could cook and accompany him to his meals.

After he was done with the promissory note, Patrick placed it in front of Gwendolyn.

“Sign it.”

Gwendolyn's fever had just subsided, and she had just woken up. Thus, she signed the piece of paper without hesitation, fearing that her daughter might be taken away from her.


After she was done, Gwendolyn bit her lower lip and said, “You'll have to keep your promise, Mr. Lowen. It's me who's going to pay off the debts, not Juliette.”

As she spoke, Gwendolyn patted her chest earnestly, and her eyes were filled with determination.

Patrick then took the promissory note and folded it before putting it away in his pocket.

“I'm a man of my word. Give me a call once you're feeling better.”

He then got up from his seat. Patrick's tall and handsome appearance was simply captivating.

Gwendolyn was dumbstruck as she gazed at him. However, she eventually came to her senses when she noticed his icy, cold eyes staring at her.

It must've been the fever! Otherwise, I wouldn't be interested in Felicia's man. That's right. It's definitely the fever and the medication. In my current state, any hideous guy might even appear handsome to me! Haha! I'm sure that I must be hallucinating now. Felicia's man is no different than any other hideous man out there.

Just then, Liam walked in with several food containers in his hands.

“I've brought some oatmeal porridge, Mr. Lowen.”

He placed the stack of food containers on the table and greeted Gwendolyn, “So this is where you live, Ms. Ashton.”

So Ms. Ashton is sick! No wonder Mr. Lowen was so anxious and worried. I totally understand how he feels now.

Liam was delighted to know that Patrick finally had a lady companion with him. He was happy for his boss.

However, Patrick shot a glare at Liam, causing the latter to shudder as he knew he had been talking too much. Hence, Liam decided to leave the room hurriedly.

Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at Patrick after seeing Liam, who had been reprimanded by his boss, scurry off. Look just how terrified his staff is of him! He must be a difficult person to work with.

“Just remember to finish your oatmeal porridge. You will have to pay your debts after you're fully recovered.”

After reminding Gwendolyn of her promise, Patrick then took his leave. Since she's fine enough to roll her eyes at me, I'm sure she'll get better in no time.
