“Okay!” Patrick answered.
After all, he also had something to handle that night. His entire family was already aware of his engagement, but he hadn’t been home recently.
As such, he had to go home that night and tell Hector the good news. He reckoned that the latter would be particularly happy.
Alas, he wasn’t happy at all. Instead, he found it all too irritating.
In the past, he had even considered faking a marriage, but judging from the situation then, a fake engagement was already his greatest compromise.
When Gwendolyn heard his agreement, she jumped for joy.
“Thank you, Mr. Lowen! You’re so nice!”
She then took out a lollipop from her bag and presented it to him.
“This is for you, Mr. Lowen.”
After saying that, she happily went over to the coat stand. Snagging her jacket, she put it on before wrapping her scarf around her neck. With her bag in hand, she waved at Patrick.
“Bye, Mr. Lowen! Don’t stay too late!”
Then, she dashed out of the CEO’s office. Patrick lifted his left hand and glanced at the luxury watch on his wrist.
Hmm, it’s six o’clock in the evening on the dot. She really wasn’t willing to stay for even a second longer!
Subsequently, he shifted his gaze to the lollipop on his desk. It was pink and heart-shaped, so it had a rather different meaning.
In the blink of an eye, his expression turned tender. He picked up the lollipop and took a sniff of it. Ah, it’s probably as fragrant as her!
Gwendolyn didn’t dare drive to work since she practically got the car for nothing. Patrick was petty, so she was afraid that he would take the car back if he were to catch her doing so.
For that reason, she took the subway to work every day. Likewise, she took the subway home.
Actually, it was pretty good to take the subway, as there was no congestion, so she could arrive home faster. Twenty minutes later, she had already exited the subway station near her house.
The weather that day was particularly chilly, so she tightened the scarf around her to block off the bitter wind.
All of a sudden, a car stopped in front of her, and its window rolled down.
Gwendolyn was stunned for a moment. When she discerned the person in the car, she pulled open the car door and got in.
