Perfect CEO

The two agreed to meet at a private restaurant near the hospital.

Gwendolyn finished her classes at around four o'clock in the afternoon. When she arrived at the restaurant, it was already almost six in the evening. Hence, she could have her dinner there.

Lucy was not too far away from the restaurant, so she was the one who arrived first.

When Gwendolyn walked into the private room, she saw Lucy drinking some alcohol. Hence, she tugged Lucy's arm as she sat beside the latter. “Don't drink too much.”

Lucy broke into a smile as soon as she saw her. It was then a trace of vitality finally appeared on her attractive face. “Gwen, I'll ask them to serve the food now. Can you accompany me for some drinks?”

Gwendolyn knitted her brows. “What happened?”

After all, she had a low alcohol tolerance. Moreover, Lucy was not someone who enjoyed drinking as she had been selling wines in nightclubs. Hence, she should feel nothing but disgust toward alcohol.

“I'm delighted. Melanie can finally proceed with her surgery next Friday.” Lucy hugged Gwendolyn as she said that. “Gwen, finally, this day has come. There's hope for Melanie and me now.”

Melanie had been staying in the hospital for two years, and because of that, Lucy had spent everything.

Gwendolyn's eyes lit up. “They've found her the bone marrow? That's great! We have to celebrate.” Patting Lucy's shoulder, she added, “I'll have some drinks with you today.”

Just then, the waiter came in to serve the food. Gwendolyn poured herself a glass of alcohol before filling Lucy's glass. “Luce, things will get better for Melanie and you.”

As long as they could leave the hospital, everything would definitely get better.

Gwendolyn recalled how rough things were for Lucy over the past two years. She had to take care of Melanie in the hospital in the morning, and she needed to work at Night City at night. She had spent almost all her time in the hospital as if she was a resident there.

A bright smile bloomed on Lucy's face. She raised her hand and clinked her glass with Gwendolyn's. “We'll all become better.”

Lucy had finished a few glasses of alcohol before Gwendolyn arrived at the restaurant. They then enjoyed their food and alcohol while playing some drinking games together.

Not long after, Lucy was a little drunk. Hence, she told Gwendolyn about something that had been troubling her recently. “Gwen, you know Lucas, don't you?”

For some reason, Gwendolyn felt the white wine tasted nice too. The more she drank, the more enjoyable she felt. Holding her glass, she nodded vigorously at Lucy. “Of course, I know him! Mr. Gomez is Patrick's childhood friend.”

Lucy sent another spoonful of food into her mouth. Biting her food angrily, she said, “He's such a badass in bed! He's always asking me to try a lot of embarrassing positions! I...” She then covered her face and continued, “Gwen, I was once married, and I've given birth to a daughter. However, I have no experience in that area.”

Gwendolyn widened her eyes. “What? Did Lucas bully you?”

That was the only thing she understood. As for the “positions” Lucy mentioned, she did not quite get what the latter meant.

Lucy nodded. “Yes. He bullied me! He's a bad man.”

She thought of how Lucas bullied her by forcing her to sleep with him every night for over half a month.
