Chapter 671 Patrick Is Buying

Gwendolyn pondered momentarily and answered, “I never really noticed since I'm not at the Surringtonresidence much.”

I didn't really care about much in the past three months and mostly lived in a daze. I suppose all myfocus was on work.

Lucy hugged her and said, “Let's go! It's almost time. Otherwise, Mr. Gomez will criticize me again if hewaits too long.”

Actually, his criticism isn't severe, but I'll suffer from his extended lovemaking at night. He has a robustbody in the first place, so if I make him mad, he'll make sure I can't get out of bed for three days tomake a point.

She shivered slightly at the thought.

That was my first time experiencing his sexual prowess from disobedience. Now, I'm docile like a wintercatfish.

Gwendolyn smoothened her hair and said, “Okay!”

Lucy handed over her gold card for registration while Gwendolyn scrolled on her phone.

“Gwen, do they not know that you're the owner of Solstice Group?”

If I hadn't taken out my card earlier, these store assistants would most likely have complied withFelicia's demands and instructed Gwen to remove her clothing and, in turn, sell it to the person who

could afford it.

Gwendolyn lifted her head after replying to an email.

“No, they don't. Even Zayden also assumed that I'm a low-rank employee at Solstice Group, let alonethese employees.”

It was rare for the lower-rank employees to meet the CEO. Besides that, she didn't like flaunting herface and title to every worker.

Therefore, it was expected that they couldn't recognize her.

Disappointment filled Lucy. “You should organize a staff meeting so that everyone can recognize you.That way, you'll receive VIP treatment whenever you shop at your own mall. There'll be no repeat oftoday's incident, and you won't be bullied.”

Felicia was really daring. It's ironic for her to bully a female millionaire.

Once the card was swiped, the store assistant returned it to Lucy politely.

Lucy and Gwendolyn left the store in brand-new clothing. Gwendolyn's head was still buried in herphone as they walked.

Worried about her safety, Lucy had no choice but to keep an arm around Gwendolyn's shoulders. “I'mtalking to you. Are you even listening?”

Gwendolyn finally finished with whatever she was working on her phone and slid it into her purse.

“I never thought about it because I don't want to be famous. I just want to live a peaceful life.”

I don't care about how others see me, nor do I want to be a poser. I only wish to live a simple life likethis and raise my three children safely. It seems the way I think has reverted to how it used to be. Idon't wish for romance or bliss anymore. After getting hit in the face with reality, romance feels beyondmy reach, and blissfulness is a pipe dream.

At that moment, Lucy's phone rang, so she picked up the call.

“Have you arrived, Lucy?”

Initially, he thought to wait for her at home, but she said she would head over directly. It was alreadydinner time, but she still hadn't arrived.

The dinner was to celebrate Patrick's recovery. Thus, she shouldn't arrive later than the host.

“Soon. We'll be there in half an hour.”

It would take ten minutes to reach the restaurant, and she had to include the time she would be stuck intraffic.

Lucy urgently hung up her phone. “Let's hurry. He keeps urging me.”

Gwendolyn couldn't contain her laughter at Lucy's urgency.

“You've become more and more obedient.”

Lucy's steps slowed at those words as though to prove Gwendolyn wrong.

Gwendolyn thought Lucy had become cuter. Stepping closer toward her, Gwendolyn reached for Lucy'shand and tugged her as she quickened her pace.

“I know you're in a hurry, so let's go. We have to be quick.”

Looking at Gwendolyn's side profile as she ran, Lucy burst into laughter. Her joy was contagious asGwendolyn also started laughing.

It had been a long time since they had run without care like that. Undoubtedly, they would enjoy thedinner that night.

The minute Lucas ended the call, he couldn't stop his gaze from darting to the outside.

Kevin entered with his arm wrapped around Estelle. When he saw the man standing by the door, hehalted in his steps.

“Is Pat buying us dinner or you, Mr. Gomez?”

Why else is he standing here to greet the guests?
