Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 222

Cedrick’s lower back was still aching from last night’s beating. I’m not going to suffer alone.

Glaring at Nico, Cedrick said, “Each word you said earlier will cost you a month of salary. Do the math on your own.”

“Huh?”

The unforeseen disaster filled Nico with despair.

I said so many words just now. Does that mean I won’t get paid for many years? What a heartless and unreasonable boss!

He fell into despair and stood transfixed for a while.

Meanwhile, Cedrick smirked and turned around to leave. Although his body ached, he walked swiftly while humming as if he was in a good mood.

Nico ran after him and cried, “Boss! I was wrong! Please give me a chance!”

…

It had been so long since Gwendolyn slept so well.

In fact, she did not wake up until her phone rang at nine-thirty in the morning.

“Honey, I’ve already taught her a lesson about what happened last night. It won’t happen again. Please come back to the villa tonight. Your party’s the day after tomorrow. You need to get ready—”

Marcus coughed before he could end his sentence, and that grabbed Gwendolyn’s attention.

Gwendolyn who was still in a daze thought about it before saying, “Okay.”

“Come back early tonight when you’ve finished your work, okay? You need to try on your gown.”

“Okay.”

Upon hanging up, she turned around to continue sleeping. However, her mind was slowly starting to clear up.

I went to The Honey Bee for a drink instead of going back to the Harris residence last night. So, how did I end up in this bed?

Instantly, she sat upright and turned her head to see broken pieces of a vase scattered on the ground near the bedside table. Perplexed, she quickly gave William and Quinton a call.

The two had been guarding the door after Cedrick left. As soon as they received Gwendolyn’s call, they rushed into the room.

Gwendolyn had too much to drink last night that she could not remember what happened. “Who sent me to the hotel last night?”

“It was Mr. Jenson. He even took care of you the entire night.”

Gwendolyn’s brows tightened into a frown as she quickly examined her body. Only when she realized she was fine did she let out a sigh of relief.

Good thing Cedrick didn’t do anything to me. Otherwise, I will show up at the Jenson residence with a knife to slaughter him. Then again, if nothing happened last night, why are there broken pieces on the floor?

She did not remember fighting Cedrick. All she remembered was having a sweet dream about Maverick last night. She even kissed and hugged him in the dream.

Alas, neither William nor Quinton knew anything. Looks like I’ll have to ask Cedrick to find out what happened.

Gwendolyn said, “William, go to the Jenson residence to look for Cedrick. Tell him I want to talk to him face to face.”

“Understood, Ms. Shalders.” With that, William went out to carry out the orders.

“Quinton, tell the hotel manager I’ll pay for the broken vase at its original price.”

“All right.”

It just so happened that the hotel manager and a server arrived with a trolley and were about to knock on the door when Quinton turned around to open it.

Having heard Gwendolyn’s words, the hotel manager smiled politely. “You’re too kind, Ms. Shalders. Mr. Jenson has already paid for the vase.”

In fact, Cedrick paid ten times the amount as a suggestion for the hotel to remove all decorations except for the tissues from the bedside table in the guest rooms.

The thought of that made the manager smile brighter. He then stepped aside to reveal the custom-made food on the trolley.
