Perfect CEO
Chapter 374

Chapter 374

Gwendolyn walked toward the CEO's office hastily. She saw the colleagues in the cubicles dispersedas soon as they saw her, but she did not care about it.

After all, the news that Patrick was injured in the office and Gwendolyn had not returned to the officebecause she was accompanying him in the hospital had been spread out. The people in the office wereprobably having all kinds of speculation about what happened.

Gwendolyn pushed the door open and entered the office. She saw Felicia sitting on the couch from far,with Patrick sitting opposite her.

She wondered what the two were discussing. Felicia was smiling, seemingly very happy.

Gwendolyn put down her bag. Her big eyes were looking in their direction from time to time.

Patrick knew she was there, but he ignored it. He put his hands together and crossed his fingers.

“Ms. Ashton, our agreement ends here.”

Patrick tore the agreement in front of her upon finishing his words.

Felicia nodded and said, “All right, Mr. Lowen. Thank you for your tips.”

She picked up the check and winked at him.

“Mr. Lowen, if you ever need me again, feel free to replace me.”

Patrick stood up and replied, “Goodbye.”

Felicia still had a smile on her face, but deep down, she was very mad. She thought she could continuecooperating with Patrick and use his name outside, but he was too heartless. The first thing he didwhen they met was throwing her a check, followed by tearing off the contract. He did not give her asingle chance.

Felicia smiled at Gwendolyn when she passed by her.

“Gwen, Grandpa said it's time to bring you home. Besides, it's about time for the marriage between youand Zayden. Congratulations!”

Gwendolyn's expression slightly darkened when she heard Felicia's words, but the latter smiled andmouthed her words. If I don't get Patrick, you won't either.

Upon finishing, Felicia pushed the door open and left while Gwendolyn pursed her lips slightly.

If Michael wanted to bring Gwendolyn home, it would definitely have something to do with Felicia. Ofcourse, Felicia wouldn't let Gwendolyn return to the Ashton residence so easily. Her motive was to letGwendolyn and Zayden get married.

Patrick returned to his seat and began getting busy with his work. On the other hand, Gwendolyn tooksome time to calm herself as she thought about what she should do.

As she regained her senses, she looked toward Patrick, who was busy working. He still had a band-aidon his forehead, but it did not affect his appearance as it seemed to have added a little charm to himinstead.

Gwendolyn stood up and walked to Patrick's side. “Mr. Lowen, how are you feeling today?”

Seeing that he was in good spirits and looking handsome after discharging from the hospital,Gwendolyn figured that Patrick should be recovering very well.

Patrick gave her an indifferent glance. “Do you care about my feelings?”

He was unhappy that Gwendolyn went to the hospital to take care of Zayden immediately after shewoke up.

Gwendolyn took a deep breath and held back her anger when she thought about Patrick being injuredbecause of her.

She walked to his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Patrick, don't be mad. Zayden is blind now. I can't just ignore him. He saved my life.”

Patrick furrowed his brows. “Don't ever go to the hospital again. I will replace him the best doctor to treathim.”

Patrick wanted to repay Zayden for Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn smiled and kissed him on his face.

“Patrick, you are the best! But I want to repay him myself.”

She kissed his face a few more times and said, “I want to take a month off. Once his vision recovers, Iwill come back. Okay?”

When Patrick heard that, his expression, which had softened up, instantly turned cold, and he pulledher to sit on his lap.

The two pairs of eyes met. His gaze was as cold as ice.

“Gwendolyn, are you really giving up on your work for that guy? If that's so, you are not allowed to takea month off, but you can resign.”

The office instantly became silent. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Gwendolyn's expression turned sad. “Patrick, I beg you. It was Zayden who helped me in my mostdifficult times. Now is his most difficult time, and I can't just leave him like that.”
