Perfect CEO

“Why aren't you leaving yet? It's so freaking cold out here! I just want to go home. It's a shame I couldn't get the necklace I wanted. Who would pay a whopping one hundred and fifty million for that necklace? They're practically nuts!” complained Angeline.

As soon as he saw Gwendolyn, Zayden got out of the car immediately.

“Gwen...”

As he called out to her, Gwendolyn was just about to get inside the car. Upon hearing his voice, she decided to approach him for a chat.

Gwendolyn was still wearing Patrick's coat on her shoulders. Her face was flushed red, and she was slightly shivering from the cold weather.

The weather was dreadful at that place. The temperature plummeted drastically as soon as the sun set, making her feel extremely cold and unpleasant.

“Why are you still here, Zayden?”

Seeing how cold she was, Zayden took off his jacket and wanted to drape it over her body.

However, Gwendolyn politely refused, “It's okay. I'll be fine once I get inside the car. Is there anything you wanted to talk to me about? If there's nothing important, I'll be leaving now.”

Meanwhile, Patrick realized Gwendolyn did not get into the car with him. “Where's Ms. Ashton?” he asked.

Liam, who was waiting by the car to open the door for Gwendolyn, merely replied, “She's talking to Mr. Surrington.”

Patrick turned to cast a glance outside the window, only to find Gwendolyn standing across from Zayden.

What are they talking about? Zayden is smiling, and he's even reaching out to touch her head!

He was exceptionally displeased at the sight of both Zayden and Gwendolyn chatting happily together. Thus, he said in a cold voice, “Go and inform Ms. Ashton that if she's not leaving with us, we'll be on our way now.”

Liam knew from the tone of Patrick's voice that his boss was very much upset with Gwendolyn. It was obvious that Patrick was jealous.

As he walked toward Gwendolyn and Zayden, thoughts whirled in Liam's mind. Ms. Ashton, please don't make Mr. Lowen mad anymore. He's already spent one hundred and fifty million just for you! Just try to be nice for the sake of the huge sum of money.

Liam could not help but sigh to himself.

To think I have to worry about my boss' relationship! I'm getting really worried these days. One of them isn't being straightforward, while the other remains oblivious. I'm just not sure when they'll reveal the truth.

“Ms. Ashton, Mr. Lowen is asking if you're leaving with us? If you're planning to stay longer, then he's going to leave now.”

Liam conveyed Patrick's words in a different way. Meanwhile, Gwendolyn's nose was bright red due to the extreme cold weather.

Pulling the coat to keep herself warm, she replied, “Yes, I am! I'll take my leave now, Zayden. Let's meet up another day.”

With that, she hurried over toward Patrick's car and got in quickly. Once she was inside, her teeth were chattering badly.

“Oh, my gosh! It's so cold out there!” she exclaimed.

Patrick had already instructed the chauffeur to turn on the heater as soon as he saw her running toward the car.

Therefore, Gwendolyn felt warm and comfortable upon entering the vehicle.

“Why was Zayden looking for you?”

Rubbing her hands and placing them on her cheeks to warm herself up, she replied to Patrick without hesitation, “He's been helping me to locate my mother. In fact, Zayden told me there's been some new information about her whereabouts, so we'll be meeting in a few days to talk about it.”
