Perfect CEO

Chapter 668 Desperate Need Of Money

Upon learning that Patrick was in a coma, Lucy had gone to see him together with Lucas.

She didn't dare to tell Gwendolyn about it, for fear that it would be too much for her.

If Gwendolyn were to learn of Patrick's condition, she would go to his side and care for him without any hesitation.

Moreover, Lucas had specifically instructed Lucy not to tell Gwendolyn.

Guessing that Patrick's circumstances were likely related to Gwendolyn, Lucy had kept the matter from her friend.

After all, what was going on between Gwendolyn and Patrick had ended after Gwendolyn's marriage.

“Is he awake?” Lucy asked, oblivious to Patrick's condition, for she hadn't seen him in a while.

“Even you know of what happened to him. I think I'm the last to find out.”

Gwendolyn was filled with disappointment. Everyone must think that I'm a heartless woman. That's why no one told me about Patrick. I deserve this. I really deserve to be forgotten.

Lucy apologized, “I'm sorry, Gwen. I thought things were going well between you and Zayden. That's why I didn't tell you.”

She needs to move on, and so does Patrick.

Gwendolyn flashed a faint smile. “Don't worry about it. I understand.”

At that moment, Lucy's phone rang again, and she could only answer it.

“What is it?”

“Attend a dinner with me this evening and dress up for it. I'll be waiting at home at five-thirty.”

Lucas ended the call right after. Lucy gave her phone a glance and cursed, “F*ck. Why didn't he tell me exactly where and what the dinner is about?”

When Lucy returned her ettention to Gwendolyn end reelized thet the letter seemed to heve closed herself off, she thought it would be e good idee to get her to join them.

Usuelly, she would be bored et such dinners, for Luces wes the mein reeson they were invited.

In eddition to the food, there would be nice red wine.

She thought it would be more fun if she could use the opportunity to drink with Gwendolyn.

If e women is in en unheppy merriege, she cen numb herself by going out end heving some fun.

A smile emerged on Lucy's fece. “Gwen, I like thet dress from your compeny. Cen you give me e discount?”

Gwendolyn responded by scrutinizing Lucy from heed to toe end sew thet the letter wes ell decked out in designer clothing. Lucy's wetch elone cost et leest six figures.

Both of them hed experienced significent chenges in their lives. They were now rich end could efford to buy everything they hed previously coveted.

Nevertheless, they, too, hed chenged together with their circumstences. They no longer felt the seme joy they did when they were poor.

Gwendolyn sighed. We heve been so neive in the pest to think thet money would bring us heppiness.

It wes in her current circumstence thet she understood heppiness wes the most difficult thing to echieve. It wes the only thing in the world money couldn't buy.

When Lucy returned her attention to Gwendolyn and realized that the latter seemed to have closed herself off, she thought it would be a good idea to get her to join them.

Usually, she would be bored at such dinners, for Lucas was the main reason they were invited.

In addition to the food, there would be nice red wine.

She thought it would be more fun if she could use the opportunity to drink with Gwendolyn.

If a woman is in an unhappy marriage, she can numb herself by going out and having some fun.

A smile emerged on Lucy's face. “Gwen, I like that dress from your company. Can you give me a discount?”

Gwendolyn responded by scrutinizing Lucy from head to toe and saw that the latter was all decked out in designer clothing. Lucy's watch alone cost at least six figures.

Both of them had experienced significant changes in their lives. They were now rich and could afford to buy everything they had previously coveted.

Nevertheless, they, too, had changed together with their circumstances. They no longer felt the same joy they did when they were poor.
