Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth
Chapter 63: Friend? Cousin?

August retorted as he glared at the hand that was holding on to Gwenda's arm.

The air was filled with an ominous aura that caused the room to feel cold.

Realising that something was amiss, Gwenda looked up at the two men and quickly stepped forward. "August, please don't get the wrong idea. He's my friend, Olivier Petit. Mr. Petit, this is my cousin, August Reed."

"Friend?"

"Cousin?"

The two men looked at Gwenda in surprise.

Gwenda was under immense pressure. She laughed dryly and said, "Yeah."

"You..."

August wanted to give her a lecture.

Gwenda cut him off though. "August, you're finished on your end?"

August grunted in confirmation and asked, "What were you two doing just now?"

"N-nothing! Since it's over, we can go now."

Gwenda went up to her cousin and grabbed his hand, dragging him away as she said, "Mr. Petit, we'll be leaving first."

"Gwenda, let go of me..."

August roared angrily, "Don't try to fool me!"

"Let's talk as we go..."

Gwenda forcibly pulled him away.

Olivier stood there under the light, his dark eyes watching as the two vanished in the distance. Suddenly, a laugh escapes him.

Cousin?

Olivier facepalmed in exasperation.

His rage had really made him lose all sense of reason.

August was dragged by Gwenda until they got to the main entrance of the hotel. He finally shook off Gwenda's grip on his hand and demanded, "Gwenda, you better give me a good explanation about what jus happened!"

"..."

"Don't try to lie or I'll snap your neck in two!"

"That sort of distance.

A man like that.

To say that there is nothing going on between them would be foolish!"

August thought in furious disbelief.

Gwenda bit her lip out of embarrassment, and only caved under the pressure of August's stare. "Well, it's exactly what you're thinking of. But I'm not in a relationship with him. He's wooing me though." "Wooing you?"

August snorted and looked at her incredulously. "Is he blind?"

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?"

Gwenda glared at him unhappily, "How is he blind if he choose to woo me?"

"Cut the crap. What did you say his name was?"

"Olivier Petit."

"Olivier Petit?"

Surprise flashed across August's face.

Gwenda knew what he was thinking. "Yup, that Olivier. The CEO of Petit Corporation."

August was completely speechless.

Gwenda stared at him for a while and saw the puzzled expression on his face. She nudged him and asked, "What, is there a problem?"

"How did you meet him?"

August asked.

"Well, in that fire. I saved his life, um... no, he saved mine too. Anyway, after that fire, he said he wanted to woo me."

August fell silent again.

Then, he laughed and said with a raised eyebrow, "I was thinking about cooperating with him recently. Do you think he will agree to it if I give you to him?"

"What? You want to sell your cousin for your own gain? Are you still human, August?!"

Gwenda was so mad that she wanted to hit him.

August snorted, "If I wasn't, I wouldn't have brought you here today."

With that, he walked towards the parking lost, not wanting to bother with Gwenda any further.

At the mention of that, Gwenda suddenly remembered the purpose of today's meeting and gave chase. "Hey, August... Wait! Let's talk about today's lunch then. You didn't give KG Entertainment the endorsement, did you?"

"Why ask when you know the answer?"

August got in the car and fastened his seat belt.

Gwenda also got into the car and grinned at him. "Then can you give the endorsement to Cecilia?"

August ignited the car's engine and ignored her.

Gwenda continued, "You brought me here for lunch because you wanted to let me know about KG Entertainment's attempt to get the endorsement.

"And you also said earlier that Cecilia didn't have any decent endorsements. If she could get this opportunity, her value would definitely increase a lot.

August, just help me out, please? Give me the endorsement..."

August still said nothing.

Gwenda continued to act like a spoiled child.

Having reached his limit, August glared at her and snapped, "Sit properly!"

Gwenda became obedient in the next second.

August snorted when he saw that. "Didn't you disagree with me earlier? Why are you begging me now?"

"That's because I wasn't being sensible. Didn't I already apologise?"

Gwenda put her hands together as if she was praying. "August, managing this studio alone is hard. Could you please take some pity on me and let me have the endorsement?" August raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly.

Gwenda continued to beg.

After a long while, August grudgingly said, "If you want to have the endorsement, fine. But as for the endorsement fee..."
