Perfect CEO

In fact, Lucas wanted to tell Gwendolyn the truth, but Patrick asked them to keep it a secret. He dared not dare say a word about it, even if he were courageous enough.

“He probably got a cold,” Lucas uttered casually.

He had no choice but to make up such a lie. However, he knew Patrick's hospitalization must have something to do with the bullet in the latter's head.

If that were not the case, Patrick would not get sick easily, given how healthy he was.

Gwendolyn nodded. “So he got a cold!”

With that, she felt relieved. He's in such an excellent hospital anyway, so a cold would be no biggie for him.

Then, she grabbed her phone and started playing games on it.

Recently, she got addicted to playing Honor of Kings and would play a few rounds every day whenever she had free time.

Meanwhile, in Patrick's ward, Rosalie sat elegantly on the couch.

When she heard from her mother that Patrick was at the hospital where Kevin worked and that he was sick, she could not stay put and hurried over.

However, Patrick was not in his ward, so she could only wait.

Upon hearing footsteps, Rosalie turned to the doorway, only to see Felicia stopping in her tracks and looking at her.

“Hello, Ms. Chavez,” Felicia greeted.

She had heard about the past between Rosalie and Patrick. Back then, she assumed the duo would have an arranged marriage as the Chavez family had a very close relationship with the Lowen family.

Alice and Linda were best friends, while Felicia's aunt, Stephanie, married into the Chavez family. That was why she heard a lot about their affairs.

Rosalie nodded slightly. “Hello, Ms. Ashton.”

This daughter of the Ashton family has been the center of attention recently. Not only did she make the headlines of the entertainment news, the public even sees her and Patrick as a couple now. How puzzling. Shouldn't it be Gwendolyn? Why did it turn out to be her?

Acting like she was Patrick's woman, Felicia walked into the ward with her back straight and put down the empty thermos.

“Pat probably went to see the doctor. I'll pour you a drink. Do you drink tea or coffee?” she asked.

As she spoke, she walked toward the door to get Rosalie a drink.

Naturally, the latter sensed Felicia's intentions and uttered calmly, “No thanks. I don't want anything.”

That left Felicia no choice but to stop in her tracks, turn around, and sit on the couch with Rosalie.

She took out her phone and gave it cursory glances, sneaking looks at Rosalie occasionally.

It seems like aside from Gwendolyn, this woman beside me is also a strong rival. Even though she's young, she ought to be more challenging to deal with compared to Gwendolyn. Her mom is someone's second wife, after all. I bet her mom has some tricks up her sleeve. Rosalie isn't as beautiful as Gwendolyn, but she's born into a noble family, studied abroad, and is close to the Lowens. That's right; she's my strongest rival.

Sitting elegantly, Rosalie casually flipped through a magazine.

When she noticed that the woman beside her kept peeking at her, she closed the magazine and looked at Felicia.

“Ms. Ashton, you don't have to look at me like that. Pat and I have known each other since we were young. It's my duty to visit him at the hospital,” Rosalie voiced.
