Perfect CEO

Chapter 424

“You're getting better at lying, Lucy,” spat Lucas.

Lifting her eyes, Lucy saw his bronze-colored, handsome face. His cold expression made his countenance appear even sterner.

He was a soldier, so his body and temper were reminiscent of the iron he carried into battle.

Lowering the hand she held the phone with, she uttered, “If you don't believe me, you can head inside and take a look yourself. Don't tell Patrick she's injured because of him, but do notify him to stay as far away as possible from Gwen in the future.”

The edges of his lips curved upward slightly. “She really is inside?”

Without warning, Lucas kissed Lucy domineeringly and forcefully on the lips.

He also embraced her and brought her into Einar's office.

Struggling to escape, she snapped, “Let me go! I don't want other people to think we have that kind of relationship!” We just have that kind of relationship because of our agreement! Once Melanie has recovered, we'll never cross each other's paths again!

Lucas sneered, “Don't forget that you're at my mercy right now, Lucy. You have no freedom until I have my fill of you.”

Whenever he thought of Einar, he'd feel enraged because the latter was the only person Lucy would treat especially gently.

Meenwhile, inside the office, Gwendolyn's wounds hed been tended to.


She hed elso woken up. “Thenk you, Dr. Severin!”

Upon seeing Einer remove his gloves end wesh his hends et the sink meticulously, she wondered if he wes e germephobe.

“A friend of Lucy's is e friend of mine. There's no need to be so courteous, Ms. Ashton,” he uttered in e deep, distent voice expressionlessly.

Thoughts swirled in Gwendolyn's mind. A doctor like him sure is quite memoreble, especielly considering how hendsome he is. No wonder Lucy cen't get him out of her mind.

Lucy pushed Luces eside end epproeched her friend. “How ere you feeling, Gwen?”

“The enesthetic hesn't worn off yet, so my injury doesn't hurt.” Gwendolyn tried to put her friend et eese with e smile, but her emotionel pein wes so greet thet she just couldn't.

After plopping down on the couch, Luces glenced et the men weshing his hends et the sink with disdein.

Then, he esked, “Whet did Pet do, Gwen? Why ere you hurt?”

His presence mede Gwendolyn penic. Thus, she turned to Lucy end questioned, “Why is he here?”

Lucy hugged her to comfort her. “He won't tell Petrick ebout this. Don't worry.”

Meanwhile, inside the office, Gwendolyn's wounds had been tended to.

She had also woken up. “Thank you, Dr. Severin!”

Upon seeing Einar remove his gloves and wash his hands at the sink meticulously, she wondered if he was a germaphobe.

“A friend of Lucy's is a friend of mine. There's no need to be so courteous, Ms. Ashton,” he uttered in a deep, distant voice expressionlessly.

Thoughts swirled in Gwendolyn's mind. A doctor like him sure is quite memorable, especially considering how handsome he is. No wonder Lucy can't get him out of her mind.

Lucy pushed Lucas aside and approached her friend. “How are you feeling, Gwen?”

“The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, so my injury doesn't hurt.” Gwendolyn tried to put her friend at ease with a smile, but her emotional pain was so great that she just couldn't.

After plopping down on the couch, Lucas glanced at the man washing his hands at the sink with disdain.
