Chapter 249

Patrick took a glance at Gwendolyn.

She is so beautiful today! Grandma took her to a gathering of those ladies, so she naturally had todress up. I have never seen her with such a hairstyle and makeup. She looks stunning!

The man was originally using his phone to answer some emails. He then used this opportunity to turnon the camera and discreetly took a few pictures of hers with his phone. Staring at the picture on thescreen, he only thought that there was a difference between pictures and reality.

She's even more beautiful in person than in the pictures!

Gwendolyn was silent for a while after asking her question. When she saw that he was still busyworking on his phone, she reworded her question with a good temper.

“Mr. Lowen, can you tell me where Mr. Gomez is right now? My friend is looking for him.”

Patrick looked up at this moment with raised eyebrows.

“He has returned to the base. Kevin and I sent him off on a plane just two hours ago.”

Gwendolyn turned pale after hearing that.

“Where is the base?”

She planned to make Lucy go directly to the base to replace Lucas. As long as Lucy could see him, sheshould be able to do something.

Patrick smiled and answered, “No one knows where the base is. It's the military base, after all, so it's astate secret.”

Gwendolyn was confused for a moment. “Huh? State secret? So, that means no one can meet him?”

Sure enough! Lucas really did run away. Lucy's trust in him has all been in vain!

As she thought of this, Gwendolyn became angry.

“I can only say that his job is special, and it's a high-risk one, which requires a high degree ofconfidentiality. We will lose contact with him every time he is on the job. We couldn't even replace a way tonotify him when his grandfather passed away last year.”

Gwendolyn bit her lip while gritting her teeth in anger.

“Lucas, that bastard.”

After cursing the man, she went to her desk and packed her things before putting on her coat.

She then said to Patrick, “Mr. Lowen, I have a business to attend to, so I'm leaving first.”

Her words did not sound like she was asking for permission but more like notifying.

Patrick coldly said, “Ms. Ashton, it is still working hours, so you should still be working. If you leavenow, it will be considered absence from work.”

Gwendolyn's hand was already on the doorknob, and she just needed to push the door to leave.

When she heard what Patrick said, she hesitated for a few moments before deciding to ignore him.

She could be considered rich now, with more than two and a half million in her account. Hence, shecouldn't care less if her wage for the day was deducted.

Patrick did not expect his secretary to not care about adding a day off on her record and thesubsequent wage deduction.

Gwendolyn entered the elevator and made a call to Lucy again. This time, it took a while for the call toconnect.

“Gwen.”

“Lucy, you don't have to call Lucas anymore. He has returned to the base, and no one knows thelocation of this base.”

Lucy's emotions went out of control when she heard Gwendolyn.

“Lucas, that bastard.”

She then cried softly, her voice sorrowful and full of pain.

“Where are you, Luce? I'll pick you up.”

Lucy needed company the most at the moment, and Gwendolyn wanted to comfort her.

“I'm at Bright River Condominium, unit 2202.”

After getting the location, Gwendolyn then said, “Wait for me.”

More than an hour later, Gwendolyn arrived at the door of unit 2202 and rang the doorbell.

When Lucy opened the door, she was still in her pajamas and was looking pale and haggard.

Gwendolyn entered the condominium and looked around the place. The condominium was quitespacious and should be more than two hundred square meters in size. The furnishing was quite simple,something a soldier like Lucas would prefer.

Lucy sat on the couch, wiping her nose with a tissue.

“Did you catch a cold?”

Lucy's mind went back to what she and Lucas did on the balcony the night before. She almost hadnothing on in such freezing weather. It was only normal that she would catch a cold.

“I think so.”

Gwendolyn bent over and placed the back of her hand on Lucy's forehead.

“You don't seem to have a fever, so that's good. Is there any medicine here?”

Lucy pointed at the bottom drawer of the television cabinet. “There is a first-aid kit in there. Thereshould be some medicines in it.”

The last time they slept together, she was on her knees and got bruised from it. Lucas brought themedicine to her to apply it to her knees from that cabinet.

Remembering that, Lucy suddenly felt her head ache. She and Lucas really did everything to theextreme. She had become shameless and lost her dignity as she did everything according to hisrequest.
