Perfect CEO

Chapter 246

“I'm sure you're relieved now, Mrs. Surrington!” Gwendolyn replied.

Back then, Angeline brought a check along when she met Gwendolyn, and she wanted the latter to leave her son.

Gwendolyn refused the check, but she did whatever Angeline told her to. In spite of this, Angeline thought Gwendolyn was unwilling to follow her instructions and never believed her as the latter did not want the money.

Since Gwendolyn and Alice had shown up here, Angeline should be at ease.

Angeline lowered her head slightly. “Naturally, I'm relieved now.”

Gwendolyn nodded in return. Then, she headed for the doorway.

As she passed by an area with black roses, a girl in a red dress was smiling cheerily and instructing the housekeepers to water the flowers.

“Be careful. Don't touch the petals.”

“All right, miss.”

The girl held a stalk of black rose near her nose and smelled it. She narrowed her eyes and murmured to herself, “Smells good.”

When Gwendolyn walked past the girl, she nodded at the latter as a form of acknowledgment.

Suddenly, the girl called out, “Please wait, Ms. Ashton.”

Gwendolyn stopped in her tracks. “How can I help you, miss?”

Rosalie Chavez shook the stalk of black rose in her hand gently. “I am Rosalie Chavez, the youngest child of this family.”

A sudden realization dawned on Gwendolyn. “Hi, Ms. Chavez!”

Rosalie Chavez? Could this be Kevin's house? Kevin's family was the only family in Avenport that had this last name. Therefore, Gwendolyn was certain the girl was Kevin's younger sister.

She knew Kevin quite well, so she also behaved warmly toward his sister.

Rosalie scanned Gwendolyn from head to toe while tilting her head. “Are you currently Patrick's girlfriend?”

There was a hint of hostility in her gaze as she asked that question.

Gwendolyn was no fool and sensed the hostility.

However, she had already told a lie earlier. It was too late to cover it up at that moment.

As such, she nodded. “Yes.”

Rosalie's expression changed. “In that case, do you know what his favorite flower is?”

Although Gwendolyn had known Patrick for several months and even worked as his personal secretary, she knew nothing about him apart from his coffee and dietary preferences.

She shook her head. He's a man. Does he even like flowers?

Rosalie waved the black rose before Gwendolyn's eyes and laughed heartily. “As expected, you don't know. It shows that he isn't serious about you.”

After that, she turned around happily and resumed ordering the housekeepers to water the flowers and remove the weeds.
