The Ex and Her Riches

Treyton knew that Jennifer had always been an ambitious and career-minded woman.

Therefore, he had no reason to object when she wanted to continue pursuing her career

He stroked her head lovingly. “Okay. Because you were sick previously, I told the team to stop accepting job offers. It’s been too long since you last filmed a movie. I’ll ask them to get you a web series tomorrow, and you can familiarize yourself with things again. What do you think?”

Jennifer wavered for a while before she chose to listen to the man and obediently nodded in acquiescence.

Her memories had presently lapsed four years. As such, her maturity from the past few years of work was gone, and her eyes reverted to their innocence and naivety in the past.

Back then, Treyton fell for her innocence, kindness, and cuteness. As he looked at her then, it felt like she had returned to her adorable self when he first made her acquaintance.

Well, things seem to be pretty great now. It doesn’t matter that she no longer remembers me. We’ll start all over again!

The day of the global open tender by Dovil Group drew increasingly nearer.

It would be held three days later at a seven-star hotel in Astoria, Fransia Hotel.

Gwendolyn went all out for the open tender. She drafted a business proposal and worked overtime into the dead of night, revising it five times.

It was then one o’clock in the morning, but she was still burning the midnight oil.

Dissatisfied with a few aspects of the proposal, she planned to amend everything in her strive for perfection before going downstairs to rest.

Creak!

The soft creak of a door opening drifted into the air.

The study door opened a crack, and a pair of enigmatic ebony eyes cautiously peered at the situation in the room amidst the darkness.

Gwendolyn’s hands continued flying across the keyboard. Out of the blue, she uttered, “Come in. It’s your house, yet you’re acting all sneaky. Someone ignorant might even take you for a thief.”

When her words rang out, the study door swung open widely.

Cedrick, who had been abandoned in the bedroom, slipped in. “Don’t stay up so late. Gwenny. It’s bad for health.”

Gwendolyn’s eyes remained fixed on the computer, and she did not bother sparing him a glance. “There’s still one last aspect hanging in the balance. I’ll go back to the room when I’m done. Go to bed first if you’re sleepy. Don’t wait for me.”

At that, words cluded Cedrick.

He forcibly suppressed the irritation blazing within him. “You said the exact same thing when I came over ten minutes ago, half an hour ago, an hour ago, and even three hours ago. You could at least change things up if you’re brushing me off, Darling”

“Uh… Is that so?”

Gwendolyn rubbed the tip of her nose in embarrassment.

Striding over, Cedrick scooped her up from the chair without a word. He plopped down on her chair and settled her on his lap.
