Chapter 24 Who Is the Unlucky Person
Suzanna could barely hide her shock.
Who exactly is Gwendolyn? Sh*t! I thought she was done for, but now it seems I’m the one in trouble. How did she get to know the infamous Mr. Joaquin? I’ve read her background, and she’s just an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.
Suzanna suspected there was more to it, so she stealthily stepped back and made a phone call.
The spectators were now staring at Gwendolyn in awe.
Joaquin was the focus of everyone’s gaze, but he ignored it and knelt down beside Gwendolyn to knead her legs. He kept his gaze fixed on her as an adorable smile lit up his face.
“It has been a while since we last met! I must say, you’re looking more and more beautiful. Now, don’t be mad at me, or it’ll ruin your looks!”
Gwendolyn gently prodded Joaquin’s head with her fingertips. She leaned in close and whispered sternly, “Don’t do anything rash. Stick to the filming schedule, and do as you’re told. I won’t hesitate to tell Old Mr. Zipper if you cause any trouble.” The veiled threat was unmistakable, as Patrick Zipper was Joaquin’s grandfather.
“Please don’t! He’ll punish me severely!” Joaquin felt a chill go down his spine. Trying to appeal to her, he put on a pitiful expression and pleaded, “Don’t worry, Gwendolyn. I’ve always listened to you, haven’t I?”
A smile nudged Gwendolyn’s lips. “Apologize to the cleaner now.”
“Huh?” Joaquin blanched. “I’m Joaquin Zipper! Are you seriously asking me to apologize to a cleaner? What about my pride, Gwendolyn…”
Gwendolyn’s smile vanished. She told him sternly, “We’re civilized people, aren’t we? You threw a tantrum and created a mess. The cleaner didn’t do anything wrong but had to clear up your mess. Besides, you yelled at her when she tried to stop you. Shouldn’t you bear responsibility for what you did?”
Joaquin slumped his shoulders in defeat,
He turned over his shoulders to see the cleaner clearing up the mess he created earlier. Feeling bad, he trudged up to her and offered her a sincere apology. To make amends, he even gave her some money.
Overjoyed, the cleaner accepted his apology and compensation readily.
