Perfect CEO

Chapter 309

Gwendolyn only headed back to the office after seeing off Alice and Rosalie.

She was outside the office when she heard the other secretaries talking among themselves.

“Did you see that? That was the third daughter of the Chavez family. Her grandmother and Old Mrs. Lowen are best friends, and as the rumor goes, that young lady is the one who'll actually be Mr. Lowen's future wife.”

“She looks rather young, but she's quite cute. She and Mr. Lowen would be a good match.”

“Then what about Ms. Ashton? Is Mr. Lowen really planning to keep her as his mistress?”

At that, they burst into laughter. To them, Gwendolyn was just someone who had managed to use her beauty to win Patrick's favor temporarily.

She couldn't compare to Felicia, and she definitely couldn't hold a candle to Rosalie.

Nonetheless, Gwendolyn was not the least bit bothered by their nasty remarks. She used to think that way too, but Patrick had told her he'd stay by her side forever. She had to trust him.

She strode into the office, her heels clicking on the floor so loudly that it startled the women gathered in the cubicle. They dashed back to their seats, not daring to say anything more.


By the time Patrick returned to the office, it was already half past six in the evening.

Gwendolyn was in the middle of a video call with her children. Juliette was in the center of the screen, facing Gwendolyn directly. Meanwhile, the two boys were on either side of her with only half of their handsome faces showing.

“Mommy, are you working overtime again?” Juliette's voice rang out.

Patrick heard it loud and clear, and he knew at once that Gwendolyn must have given the children the excuse that she had to work overtime when she was actually going on a date with him.

Gwendolyn gave it a thought and glanced at the good-looking man sitting in front of her desk. He was frowning, and his gaze was grave. She could also detect a hint of exhaustion on his face.

It had been a long day for him as he had been in four or five meetings, and Gwendolyn's heart ached as she thought about how overworked he was.

“That's right. I have to work overtime today, so all of you must be good and listen to Ms. Ziegler. The piano teacher will be over soon, Juliette. Remember to pay attention in class.”

“Don't tire yourself out,” Justin said softly.

Julian piped up, “You're completely capable of raising us now.”

He was reminding Gwendolyn that she did not have to work so hard because her two boys could earn money. Moreover, she had all those assets.

Gwendolyn smiled. “I know. Bye!”

She was still beaming after ending the video call, feeling all the tiredness from a day's work melting away after seeing the beautiful faces of her three children.

She rested her chin on her hand and thought about how the trio was the greatest gift from the heavens.

At that moment, she felt utter bliss and contentment.

Patrick found the sight of her being lost in thought sweet and heart-warming. He said softly, “Come here, Gwen. Let me hug you.”
