Perfect CEO
Chapter 258

Chapter 258

Gwendolyn fell to the ground with her knees hitting the floor first after hearing Patrick's statement.

Despite this, she was afraid of Patrick noticing her embarrassing state, so she didn't dare to commenton it.

While enduring the pain, she quickly got up and dashed into the lounge. She even locked the doorbehind her.

Patrick did notice her falling to the ground, but he was wise enough to know not to help her.

Patrick's mood seemed to have improved. The smirk on his face even gradually became eviler as hestudied his right index and middle fingers.

He then pressed a button on his landline phone and instructed, “Liam, I want you in here.”

The moment Liam heard his boss' instructions, the idea of resigning popped into his mind. He wouldlove to run away from the office right away.

However, since he wasn't daring enough, he could only bite the bullet and head to Patrick's office.

By the CEO's office entrance, he bumped into Amber.

Upon noticing his condition, Amber smiled and asked, “Mr. Derner, what have you done? You lookawful.”

Although one of them was a chief secretary while the other was an assistant, their status in the

company was almost the same, and they loved to poke fun at each other whenever they met.

Liam briefly glanced at her and asked frustratedly, “Where were you just now?”

Amber's smile froze when she heard that. She was at the store buying female underwear for her bossjust now. Patrick even asked to purchase the sexiest one for him.

Since it was a task given by her boss, she decided that she should remain silent about it.

Liam scoffed after receiving no reply. “Do you know what I have done? Please remember to knock onthe door before you head inside the CEO's office next time, and do not confidently open the door whenyou have not received any answer from the boss.”

He made such a statement because he would soon suffer from the consequence of his confidence.Just now, Patrick didn't answer the knock, which was what he always did.

Thus, Liam didn't expect to witness such a passionate scene upon entering.

He heaved a long sigh and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

This time Liam only dared to push the door open after hearing Patrick's cold voice.

He then approached Patrick's desk and stood before Patrick with his head lowered, looking just like astudent who had done something wrong.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Lowen.”

He felt Patrick wouldn't be so mad at the former if he apologized to the latter first.

On the other hand, Patrick merely tapped the table with his fingers with an unfathomable gaze.

He then ordered coldly, “I want you to arrange a meeting with Zayden to talk about the land in theeastern district.”

Liam's eyes lit up when he heard that. So, he didn't ask me to come in to scold me?

“Okay, Mr. Lowen. I'll do it now.”

Making meeting arrangements was originally Gwendolyn's work, and Liam figured that Patrick wasclear of Zayden's intention toward Gwendolyn based on the order given.

When Liam returned to the office earlier, he overheard a few secretaries discussing the bouquet inGwendolyn's arms and that Zayden had personally walked her back to the company.

From the looks of it, Patrick must have heard about those things too.

There was no doubt that a war might happen between the two love rivals when they were to meet laterthat night.

After Gwendolyn had changed her underwear and exited the lounge, she stuffed the wet one she wore

earlier into her bag as she didn't want to look at it anymore.

As she couldn't throw it into the lounge's trash can, she could only keep it in her bag and dump it afterleaving work.

Then, Gwendolyn lowered her head and started to concentrate on her work. She didn't even dare totake a peek at Patrick for the rest of the day.

Knowing how embarrassed she was, Patrick suppressed his urge for coffee and didn't even have a sipof coffee for the entire evening.

When it was finally time to leave work, Gwendolyn could no longer hold back her urge to look at him.

“Mr. Lowen, can I leave now?”

It's already half past six. Why isn't this man planning to leave yet? I should have left work half an hourago. If he no longer needs my service, I prefer to go home and accompany my three babies.

As Patrick was still busy with work, he casually replied, “You can get off work now!”

Gwendolyn's eyes sparkled when she heard that, and she started to pack her things gleefully. Soon,she was ready to escape the office with her bag.

Suddenly, Patrick turned his attention to her and swept his gaze across her lips.

“Take this with you.”

Gwendolyn saw a tube of ointment on the table and grabbed it confusedly. Where should I apply this? Idon't have any injuries on me.

She blinked and pondered for a moment. At that point, she really wanted to ask Patrick about it butdidn't dare to.

Patrick raised his hand to rub his nose and said, “You have cuts on your lips. You will recover fasterwith the ointment.”

Gwendolyn's face blushed instantly. Why does he have to remind me of everything that had happenedin the office again? She pursed her lips, turned around, and dashed out of the office.
