Perfect CEO

Just then, Angeline walked into the room. Upon noticing Gwendolyn was on the phone, she asked the housekeeper to put the fruits they brought on the counter.

When Gwendolyn saw them, she nodded at Angeline as a greeting.

Angeline headed straight into the ward while the housekeeper washed the fruits outside.

“Mr. Derner, I'm busy now. I'll hang up the call first.”

Liam said reluctantly, “Ms. Ashton, you must come back!”

Amused by his tone, Gwendolyn chuckled and said, “Okay. I will.”

I know Patrick's anger toward me is merely temporary. Both of us are a little impulsive today. In hindsight, I don't think it's a big deal. Patrick is a little difficult to deal with, so he needs someone to appease him when he's angry. I'm sure everything will be fine once I mollify him later.

As she thought of that, she was back in a good mood.

After walking into the ward, she saw Angeline pull the covers up around Zayden, then sit beside the bed and stare at him for a long time.

Gwendolyn could clearly see the tears in the older woman's eyes. As a mother, it must be hard for Mrs. Surrington to see her son in that state.

It was evident that Angeline had changed a lot over that period.

Back then, she was energetic, beautiful, and elegant.

As of then, not only did she look listless, but she also lost a lot of weight.

Gwendolyn whispered, “Mrs. Surrington, Zayden has just fallen asleep. Why don't you take some rest on the couch?”

It was lunch break. She made that suggestion because she could tell Angeline did not have a good night's sleep again. After all, the dark circles under the latter's eyes were heavy and visible.

Angeline threw her an impassive glance. “I'm not tired.”

Her attitude toward Gwendolyn was as bad as usual. Upon hearing that, the younger woman did not say anything else. Sitting on the couch, she took out her phone and started studying.

Although she had not been attending classes at school recently, Tiffany was so kind as to send Gwendolyn all the materials in the lessons so that the latter could review everything at home.

Gwendolyn felt that she had met a benefactor. With such a precious opportunity bestowed upon her, she swore to study hard.

At that moment, a call from Tiffany came through on her phone, and she answered it instantly. “Tiffany.”

She stood up and walked out of the ward. Fortunately, Zayden had taken some medicine that aided with his sleep. The doctor prescribed those pills for him so that he could relax his mind and stop overthinking.

Watching Gwendolyn walk out of the ward, Angeline glared at her to express her displeasure at the younger woman for not silencing her phone.

Gwendolyn headed to the reception room outside to talk on her phone. As she stepped outside the ward, the housekeeper said, “Ms. Ashton, I've washed all the fruits.”

In response, Gwendolyn inclined her head slightly, then walked to the window to talk with Tiffany.

“Gwen, the collection you designed this time is selling well and has even won you an award! Go to Frosa with me next Saturday to receive the award.”

The fashion sphere in Frosa was renowned worldwide. If Gwendolyn could receive an award from the fashion scene there, she would gain a foothold in the field.

It was a perfect, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hence, Tiffany hoped Gwendolyn would cherish it.

Gwendolyn was extremely excited to hear that. “Sure! I'm free on that day.”

In fact, she would still try her best to make time for it even if she was busy.
