Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 844

Chapter 844 Gradually Grew Closer 

At that moment, Whitney was completely engrossed in her work, oblivious to the changes in his facial expression. 

After an hour, Whitney finally finished categorizing all the files, a thin layer of sweat covering her body. 

“Mr. Newton, I have everything organized.” 

Looking at the neatly stacked piles of documents on the floor, Charles couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. With his hand covering his mouth, he said. “You may leave now.” 

What? Seriously? He’s telling me to leave just like that? He’s not even checking? Shock and a hint of helplessness filled Whitney’s gaze. So, there was no need to rush this matter after all? 

She stole a glance at Charles, who was barely containing his laughter, and suddenly realized she had been pranked! He’s doing it on purpose! He must enjoy seeing me struggle! 

Even though she was aware of that, Whitney didn’t dare to resist. After all, she was just a powerless and penniless assistant. All she could do was lower her head and walk out of the office. 

She had barely taken a moment to rest that afternoon. As soon as she returned to her workstation, she slumped down in exhaustion. 

As the days passed, Whitney became more accustomed to managing everything in the CEO’s office. 

Enduring his teasing and banter from time to time, Whitney began to feel a sense of anticipation in her daily life. 

As she spent more time with him, the fear she once felt began to fade. She even found the courage to resist him from time to time. 

She suddenly found herself really enjoying her current job, and she also liked the way they were getting along. 

“Mr. Newton, I’ve prepared a cup of cappuccino for you. Please taste it and see if it suits your palate.” 

Placing the coffee on his desk, Whitney swiftly exited the room, a triumphant smirk playing on her lips.. 

“Whitney Mellor!” The moment the office door closed, Charles’ furious voice could be heard from inside. She actually dared to put salt in the cappuccino! She’s really got some nerve! 

Whitney stuck out her tongue. “He only has himself to blame for always pranking me? Surely, it’s okay for me to do it once in a while, right?” 

Although Charles was angry, he vaguely felt that was what life should be, and his days had become enjoyable. 

At the very least, when Whitney saw him now, she no longer reacted like a mouse spotting a cat, constantly fearing him. 

Gradually, unbeknownst to the couple, the way the two interacted with each other changed. 

Whitney no longer saw Charles as an emotionless work machine but could feel that he was an actual human being.

She could also sense the change in Charles’ attitude toward her. 

Whitney also began to become more bold. 

The sky gradually dimmed. 

After finishing his work, Charles stopped in front of Whitney. “Let’s go home.” 

“Um… You go ahead. I still have some work to finish. I’ll take the subway home later. It won’t be too late.” Charles slightly furrowed his brows, clearly quite displeased. 

Seeing the look on his face, Whitney tactfully began to pack up her things, ready to leave with him. “I’m done. I’ll go with you.” 

Only then did Charles nod in satisfaction and strode out of the office. 

Whitney followed closely behind him, clutching her bag tightly, wishing she could shrink into herself and become as invisible as air. 

However, this time, Charles parked his luxury car right at the company’s entrance, not in the underground parking lot. She had no choice but to brace herself and get into that flashy luxury car. I’m done for. I wonder what kind of outrageous rumors are going to circulate again tomorrow. 

Watching them leave together, everyone in the company was extremely shocked. 

“Look quickly, isn’t that Whitney? Could it be that she’s living with the CEO? Oh my! I’m so envious!” 

“How could this be possible? Is she even worthy of the CEO? I bet she seduced him. She won’t last long in that position.” 

“Goodness, who knows? Let’s just go with the flow. Whitney has been riding in the boss’ car every day recently. I’ve gotten used to it. We should focus on doing our own jobs well.” 

Recently, the matter between Whitney and Charles sparked a wave of heated discussion. 

After all, it was about the CEO. Now that Whitney was working at the top level, right next to the CEO, those people didn’t dare to be too blatant. 

After all, no one dared to push their luck. 

Moreover, Charles had issued a new company rule. Anyone who dared to spread baseless rumors would be sent directly to the HR department to collect their final paycheck and leave. 

Everyone had seen how he dealt with Lana, and no one dared to be the next Lana. 

At the Newton residence, it was dinner time.. 

Jasmine announced a new decision, “I plan to go abroad for a while to further my studies in my field. I can’t afford to hold my brothers back.” 

As soon as these words were spoken, Lucas doused her excitement. “Are you going abroad for further studies or to have fun? Jasmine, do you think your brothers are easy to fool?” 

“Oh dear, Lucas! If you keep this up. I’ll complain that you’re bullying me. I’m really trying to further my 

studies.”

youngest in the family, Jasmine had Lucas wrapped around her little finger. 

The moment she mentioned tattling, Lucas immediately surrendered. All right. Fine. Do whatever you want. I can’t control you.” 

“I can’t believe you still have time to do that. Shouldn’t you hurry up and find me a sister-in-law,” 

The two of them regularly bickered at the table.
