Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 382

Thunderstruck, everyone shook their heads vehemently. “No, no, no, no, no, of course not! Ms. Harris, we would never dare to lie to you!”

“Yes, Ms. Harris, rest assured, our lips are sealed,” another person echoed in agreement.

Gwendolyn nodded affirmatively and discreetly signaled the guards, conveying her instructions to carefully monitor how they deleted the videos properly.

Afterward, Gwendolyn turned on her heels and exited the film studio without casting a glance behind her. She promptly instructed William and Quinton to escort Jennifer back home.

During the journey back to Angle, Gwendolyn was still thinking about Eloise.

Eloise, known for her vicious and arrogant nature, hardly had any friends. Evelyn was one of the few individuals who were associated with her.

During Eloise’s birthday party a while ago, it was Evelyn who helped her come up with the scheme. Could Evelyn be the mastermind behind this again? Did she intentionally instigate Eloise to cause trouble this time? But then again, though Evelyn was young, she had always been thoughtful and meticulous. It doesn’t seem like she would be so careless.

Gwendolyn gazed out of the window, Eloise’s words echoing in her mind, replaying over and over again.

She believed Eloise was trying to sow discord between her and Cedrick by making those remarks. Cedrick and I have been through thick and thin. It would be foolish of her to think that she could tear us apart.

The car soon arrived at Angle’s underground car park while she was still in deep contemplation.

Gwendolyn then took the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Joanne approached her. “Ms. Harris, the representative from Erihal has arrived to discuss business with you. He’s waiting for you in the reception room.”

Before this, Gwendolyn had finalized the trade tax exemption rights with Gerhardt when she was in Erihal. She had entrusted the task to Treyton ever since.

“All right. Got it,” Gwendolyn replied nonchalantly.

She went back to her office to change into a fresh set of clothes before making her way to the reception room.

As she opened the door, her eyes met the exquisite azure blue eyes of the man standing there.

“Mr. Caesar! I’m pleasantly surprised to see you here,” Gwendolyn exclaimed with a grin, not expecting his presence.

Caesar’s handsome face lit up with a genuine smile that radiated warmth from within.

With his right hand extended, Caesar greeted Gwendolyn. “Good to see you, Ms. Harris. I’m here as a representative of Erihal to discuss business with you. I volunteered for this opportunity to gain more experience.”

Gwendolyn held a favorable impression of Caesar, as he had extended a helping hand to her during her time in Erihal. His down-to-earth nature further solidified her positive impression of him.

“Nice to meet you too. I hope we’ll have a pleasant collaboration.” She extended her right hand, mirroring Caesar’s gesture, ready for a handshake.

Gwendolyn maintained a professional tone as she prepared to discuss business. She understood the importance of separating personal relationships from professional matters and was determined not to let it interfere with their conversation.

Joanne positioned herself behind Gwendolyn and Caesar, diligently taking notes of their business discussion.

After three hours of intense discussion, Gwendolyn and Caesar finally reached a consensus on their business collaboration. She even took the opportunity to promote a few of their popular series to Caesar, securing overseas screening rights for their productions.

By the time they had finished discussing the additional clauses in the contract, it was time to call it a day.

Caesar looked at Gwendolyn with anticipation, his blue eyes filled with hope. “Ms. Harris, I’m wondering if I might have the honor of dining with you tonight to celebrate our first collaboration?”

Gwendolyn pondered for a moment and thought it would be a nice gesture to treat Caesar to a meal, given that he had traveled to Chanaea and that she also needed his assistance in broadcasting the series overseas.

However, she hesitated, concerned that the man at home might become jealous if he found out about her dinner plans with Caesar.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Gwendolyn smiled faintly and responded, “Sure, it’s your first trip to Chanaea, so dinner’s on me tonight. I would love to have you try Chanaean cuisine, but since I’m pregnant, I’ll ask the chef to adjust the flavors a bit. Besides, I won’t be able to drink tonight, of course.”

Caesar was thrilled to hear that. “No worries. It’s my pleasure to dine with you, Ms. Harris. I’m sure everything will taste delicious.”

“You certainly have a way with words, Mr. Caesar,” she said.
