Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 845

The luxury car drove out of the Newton Group, Whitney, in a good mood, couldn’t help but hum a song. However, she dared not sing too loudly for fear of Charles’ ridicule.

Every now and then, she would steal a glance at Charles, taking in his stern, cold features.

Noticing the gaze of the lady next to him, Charles deliberately met her eyes and teased, “What’s the matter? Has your husband’s handsomeness left you dazed?”

Upon hearing his joke, Whitney’s cheeks instantly turned red. She huffed lightly and muttered under her breath. “W-who goes around saying they’re handsome?)

Charles disagreed and said, “It’s called confidence.”

Whitney turned her head away, no longer speaking.

At night, after taking a bath, Whitney sat by the window, enjoying the breeze.

She closed her eyes in enjoyment, relishing the comforting feeling of the gentle breeze caressing her face.

When Charles came out of the bathroom, he saw her leisurely swinging her legs by the window, looking quite content.

However, the evening breeze was still quite chilly. She might catch a cold if she didn’t put on more layers.

Charles brought over a small blanket and threw it over her. His words, however, were far from caring. “If you catch a cold, I’m docking your pay.”

“Achoo!”

Whitney sneezed before turning around to glare at him. She raised her little fists and protested, “Even if you’re the boss, you shouldn’t bully your employees like this, should you?”

The two of them bickered a while longer before heading to bed.

Bright and early the next morning, Charles was already working in the CEO’s office.

Today, he was once again dressed in a black suit, but what was different was the new color of the tie around his neck.

His thoughts wandered even as his gaze roamed over the documents before him.

He casually picked up the aromatherapy diffuser on his table. It was something Whitney had brought over one day, claiming his office looked too simple.

Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.

In an instant, Charles reined in his thoughts and quickly set down the incense. He reverted back to his usual stern demeanor and announced, “Come in.”

A man dressed in a deep blue suit walked in. It was Isaac, who handed over some documents to Charles.

In the past, Isaac always wore a black suit, but surprisingly, he changed his outfit today

Charles looked at him suspiciously and asked coldly, “What’s up? Got plans?”

Isaac scratched his head a bit sheepishly and said, “Well, I have to go out for dinner after work today.”

As soon as he finished speaking. Isaac quickly changed the topic. “Mr. Newton, do you remember the company you wanted to acquire last time? I have secured the best proposal for the company. Please review it, and if there are no issues, I will proceed with the arrangements.”

Charles had faith in Isaac’s abilities. After a quick skim through the document, he found no major issues. He then picked up his special metal pen and signed his name on it.

“All right, if you need anything, feel free to reach out to me.”

As usual, Isaac got ready to leave.

“Hold on, I have something to ask you.”

Hearing Charles call out to him, Isaac paused in his steps, turning around with surprise. Numerous company-related matters flashed through his mind.

He offered, “Mr. Newton, I don’t seem to have noticed any unexpected incidents at the company these past few days.”

Charles cleared his throat and said, “I wanted to ask… how do I look today?”

Isaac was slightly taken aback. What does Mr. Newton mean by this? Could it be a test?

“Mr. Newton, you are undoubtedly a paragon of virtue, handsome and wealthy, a top-tier authority in the elite class, and one of the most outstanding men in the country!”
