Chapter 239 Seeking Reconciliation

In the bedroom of the Delacruz's home.

Gavyn was reeking of alcohol. Usually, he had always made it a point to freshen up after a long day at work before getting into bed. However, that day, for some unknown reason, he collapsed onto the bed without even changing his clothes.

Seeing him like this, Alfred was worried but didn't know how to offer comfort.

Adam could only pour a glass of water before quickly retreating.

At the edge of the table, Gavyn stubbed out a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray.

This was already the fifth cigarette.

Gavyn frowned irritably and lit another one, feeling sick. His head was buzzing, and every time he thought of Aylin's face, his heart inexplicably started to race.

Aylin's every frown and smile, every moment of annoyance and anger, became increasingly clear in his mind.

The man closed his eyes and let out a bitter laugh.

Perhaps what Waylon said about me is true...

After the smoke dissipated and the alcohol took effect, Gavyn reached for his phone and sent a message. Then, he closed his eyes heavily.

When Gavyn woke up again, it was Lloyd who had roused him.

"Mr. Delacruz. Mr. Delacruz? Wake up, Mr. Delacruz."

After Lloyd arrived, he was completely dumbfounded.

In all the years Lloyd had been with Gavyn, he had never seen Gavyn become so dispirited for anyone like this before.

One should know that Gavyn had a slight obsession with cleanliness. During the challenging period when Gavyn first took over the Delacruz Group, he was constantly working and even lived in the office. Despite so, he made sure to meticulously clean himself, use hair spray, and style his hair every day. Thus, he always seemed spotless and well-groomed.

Now, Gavyn's hair was messy and his stubble was showing. Plus, he even fell asleep without changing out of his shirt, something that had never happened before.

Even when Laila was involved in such a huge scandal; her affair exposed behind Gavyn's back, Lloyd had never seen him so disheartened and devastated. What on earth happened?

Gavyn was roused from his half-asleep state and pressed his slender fingertips firmly against his temples. "Why are you here?"

Lloyd wiped his face, realizing Gavyn had gotten so caught up in drowning his sorrows and getting drunk that he had completely forgotten about his actual responsibilities!

"Mr. Delacruz, it was you who messaged me yesterday saying that you have a meeting with Ms. Koch today to discuss about your collaboration with her. Thus, you asked me to pick you up this morning!" Gavyn was taken aback.

Gavyn pondered for a moment. However, the memories from last night were a chaotic mess, and he had no recollection of that at all.

Taking out his phone and opening the chat window, Gavyn saw that there was indeed a message he had sent to Lloyd subconsciously while being drunk.

Caught off guard, Gavyn quickly got out of bed and started washing up. "Go and get the gray-blue suit from my wardrobe," he said.

Immediately, Lloyd took on the role of a personal assistant and took out a suit from the closet. The suit was luxurious yet understated, had a unique color, and was accompanied by a pair of exquisite cufflinks. Gavyn quickly finished washing up. Although he was short on time, he was efficient in his movements.

After stepping out of the bathroom, he put on his clothes and jewelry. Gavyn then applied some foamy hair wax to style his hair. His leather boots shone brightly, and his whole appearance was radiant and refreshed, completely different from his previous dispirited look.

Gavyn looked at himself in the mirror, seemingly still not quite satisfied.

"Bring that black vest over here for me to take a look."

At that, Lloyd was rendered speechless.

Lloyd held his forehead. Is he going there to discuss about the partnership, or is he trying to garner attention?

However, Lloyd couldn't say it outright, so he had no choice but to obey and rummage through the cabinet to replace a brand new vest. Then, Lloyd handed it over to Gavyn. This time, Gavyn was finally satisfied. Gavyn adjusted the collar in front of the mirror, and suddenly, he turned and headed to the study.

Lloyd didn't know what Gavyn was up to, so he decided to wait right there. After a short while, he saw Gavyn carrying a pink embroidery sachet in his hand, which he carefully placed into his pocket. Lloyd was left speechless by what he saw.

Business collaborations always called for a low-key yet luxurious attire that showcased one's status while maintaining a reliable and steady demeanor. Gavyn had several sets of such clothing in his wardrobe, each unique in its own way. Yet, he chose not to wear them, instead trying on different combinations in front of the mirror while looking at himself from various angles.

Lloyd couldn't help but shake his head at his boss' stubbornness. He still refuses to admit his feelings for Ms. Koch.

However, he really is handsome!

Gavyn, had an outstanding height of six feet two inches with unparalleled handsome features and a strong and indifferent aura. He was truly a remarkable figure. When getting off the vehicle, quite a few passersby cast sidelong glances at Gavyn.

Gavyn gazed ahead, taking large strides as he ascended the steps.

Upon arriving at the Koch Group, he was discreetly observed by many female employees, causing quite a stir as whispers sounded wherever he went.

However, Lloyd did not have the same thoughts. After all, he had basically become immune to Gavyn's astonishingly handsome face.

What Lloyd felt even more amazed by was that their appearance in the Koch Group was not well-received last time. However, they were able to calmly discuss cooperation with them right now.

"Mr. Delacruz, Ms. Koch seems to be quite friendly this time, and everyone in the company is very welcoming to us. Maybe you two can reconcile and get back to how things were before," Lloyd said emotionally.

It's not easy!

This is a great start for the first step!

However, Gavyn pondered over his words.

Every time Gavyn tried to talk to Aylin, he was met with harsh criticism and pushed away. It was only when discussing cooperation that Gavyn felt valued.

Gavyn longed to return to the past with her.

However, Aylin didn't feel the same way.

Plus, Gavyn had gotten this cooperation by sheer luck.

Gavyn chuckled self-deprecatingly as he entered the entrance of the Koch Group.

Upon arriving at the front desk, the receptionist called for Daniel. Daniel personally escorted the two guests to the VIP elevator.

Lloyd, unaware of the situation, couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. With such attentive service, perhaps Ms. Koch might change her mind after all!

The ding of the elevator indicated that they were there.

Daniel didn't show the same hostility and wariness toward Gavyn as he did last time. Instead, he led the way with a gentle and polite demeanor, saying, "Please follow me."

Upon opening the door to the CEO's office, a charming figure came into view.

"Ms. Koch, they have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Aylin turned around. She was dressed in a light yellow professional outfit, with her black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her fair skin and red lips were striking, and a delicate, exquisite brooch adorned her chest. She exuded both competence and the unique charm of a woman.

Suddenly, Gavyn seemed to be lost in thought.

Aylin's makeup was light and subtle, with lip gloss outlining her full and luscious lips. Her entire demeanor exuded charm and allure, making it impossible to look away.

Aylin looked at Gavyn's outfit today, somewhat surprised.

She had seen his business attires before, which was usually tailored exquisitely but with understated colors. That day, however, he wore a sapphire blue plaid tie paired with blue sapphire cufflinks.

The rare vibrant colors were not difficult to appreciate, and even appeared more extraordinary and elegant than the dull hues of the past.

Their eyes met, and it was Aylin who first snapped back to reality, breaking the silence.

She smiled faintly and extended her hand. "Mr. Delacruz."

It was just a simple and polite exchange of pleasantries, with no trace of extra emotions in her eyes.

The delicate, jade-white hands were right before his eyes, and Gavyn had never been this nervous before, not even when he had taken over the Delacruz Group amidst a crisis.

Although it was just a simple touch, something quite common in social situations, his heart was thrown into disarray because the person he was facing was Aylin.

When Gavyn was just about to reach out, Lloyd exclaimed from behind, “Ah!"

He pointed at the wall, "What is that?"
