Perfect CEO

Chapter 255

Patrick was standing next to Gwendolyn with a solemn expression.

Gwendolyn arched her brow and took a glance at her wristwatch.

“Mr. Lowen, I still have an hour before my break ends.”

At that point, she was incredibly mad at him. This is what you get for prioritizing another woman over me. You promised that we would have lunch together. How could you not wait for me?

Rosalie waved her hand at Gwendolyn and asked, “Gwen, are you friends with Mr. Surrington? It seems that you two have a close relationship.”

She even smiled at Zayden while shooting the question at Gwendolyn.

Zayden replied directly, “You have a good eye, Ms. Chavez. I'm currently pursuing Ms. Ashton.”

Rosalie's eyes widened a little upon hearing his declaration. “Wow! You have good taste, Mr. Surrington. Gwen is pretty and capable. I bet she will be a good wife in the future.”

Having said that, she held Patrick's hand and continued, “We should get going, Pat!”

Patrick's expression was dark, and he was staring at Gwendolyn intensely. The latter, however, merely rolled her eyes at him.

I'm angry at him today anyway. I'm going to ignore him.

After Patrick and Rosalie had left, Gwendolyn finished her meal too. She put down her cutlery and took a sip of her water.

With a smile, Zayden said, “The Lowen family and the Chavez family share a close relationship. The two elder ladies of the house must have the intention to be in-laws.”

Although Gwendolyn had been working for Patrick for some time, she only managed to have a clearer picture of his world recently.

Furthermore, she realized what she knew about Patrick previously was just the tip of the iceberg.

“I know. I've heard about it too.”

Out of the blue, Gwendolyn felt Alice had a reason for bringing her to the socialite gathering.

Zayden's gaze then locked on her neck all of a sudden. That necklace! Isn't that Starry Tears from the auction?

Zayden had actively bid on the necklace back then because he wanted to gift it to Gwendolyn. He didn't expect to see her wearing it now.

Upon noticing his gaze on her neck, she lowered her head and caught a glimpse of her necklace revealing itself. She stuffed it under her shirt and smiled faintly at him.

“It's fake. I bought it from a roadside stall.”

Zayden was at the auction that day. Thus, he could recognize the necklace no matter what.

Zayden wasn't an idiot, and he knew who bid for it. Either way, he didn't feel too defeated for losing against Patrick.

Despite that, his gaze became solemn. He then reached out to hold Gwendolyn's hand.

“Gwen, no one has ever been able to walk into my heart since I met you six years ago. I've been waiting for you.”

Upon watching him holding her hand, Gwendolyn tried to pull her hand back, but his grip was too tight.

“Gwen, please consider me.”

His gaze was full of sincerity but with a hint of sadness.

Zayden had been waiting for her for the past few years. He thought they would eventually become a couple if he continued being by her side, but recently, he had been having second thoughts.

Patrick's appearance concerned him.

He realized that she wouldn't be his if he just stayed where he was.
