The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 317 Will Cedrick Counterattack

Gwendolyn wanted to make Cedrick pay back, but the way he showered her with concern and gave her a massage made it hard for her to find fault with him.

The intimate session last night was so intense that Gwendolyn barely had any sleep. She even failed to wake up the next morning.

Realizing that, Cedrick did not disturb her. He made some oatmeal for her breakfast and quietly headed to the office.

As soon as Cedrick settled into his office chair, Nico walked in cheerfully.

“How did it go last night, Boss? Was my method effective? Ms. Gwendolyn calmed down, didn’t she?”

Cedrick was all smiles after having his desires satisfied last night. Hence, he was rather generous. “You will get a raise and a bonus. Go to the finance department and tell them the figure.”

Nico was elated. “You’re the best! You’re exceptionally majestic today. You’re my hero. You’re-”

A knock sounded on the office door before Nico could finish his flattery.

The assistant entered and informed, “Mr. Jenson, Ms. Evelyn’s here. She says she must see you today.”

The cheerful atmosphere in the room was instantly ruined by the announcement. Cedrick responded gloomily, “I don’t want to see her.”

Feeling a little guilty, Nico piped up, “Mr. Jenson is busy. By the way, don’t grant her access the top floors in the future. She’s not Rossi Project’s ambassador anymore.”

“Understood.”

The assistant nodded and opened the door to head out when someone shouted, “Move!”

Evelyn barged in while the door was slightly opened.

The look on Cedrick’s face grew increasingly dark. Without looking up, he stated, “Ms. Evelyn, it’s rude to barge in. You’re a top–ranking actress who wins awards every year. How could you not know such basic rules?”

Evelyn’s eyes gleamed with determination. “I was wrong to barge in, but don’t ungentlemanly, too?”
