Chapter 85


    Patrick had already finished his meal. He looked at the time and said, “I''m going to take a thirty-minute


    nap. Please remember to wake me up at half-past one.”


    He proceeded to stand up and leave.


    Gwendolyn was left sitting all alone on the mostfortable seat avable. She was thoroughly


    enjoying the delicious food.


    The only problem was that she could feel everyone around her staring at her. When she turned her


    head to look, they all retracted their gazes and pretended that they were not looking at her.

    Gwendolyn continued to eat her food while keeping her head lowered. The staff cafeteria at Lowen


    Group served very good food. It was probably even better than a five-star restaurant.


    To her, every single dish here was delicious. As she ate her food, a figure suddenly sat down beside


    her.


    Gwendolyn slowly lifted her head up, only to see Liam smiling at her.


    “Ms. Ashton, is the food here appetizing?” he asked.


    Gwendolyn quickly chewed and swallowed her food. She then drank a mouthful of fruit juice.


    “Mr. Derner! You haven''t eaten anything yet, right?” she asked.


    It seemed that Gwendolyn and Liam were the only ones who arrivedte. Patrick was alsote, but


    since he was the CEO, he did not need to line up. Because of him, Gwendolyn also did not need to line


    up for food.


    Liam nodded. “I''m always thest one to leave the office. I''m used to it by now.”


    Gwendolyn lowered her head and continued eating. Liam looked at her as she stuffed her face eagerly.


    It seemed that she really liked the food here.


    A smile flitted across Liam''s face. It''s not often that Mr. Lowen adds another table in his office.


    Everyone in thepany believed that Gwendolyn would be the CEO''s wife one day.


    Her colleagues were all super jealous of her.


    Liam could not deny that he felt the same way because he observed that Patrick treated Gwendolyn


    differently. Therefore, he wanted to get into Gwendolyn''s good books as well.


    “Ms. Ashton, there''s also some ice cream over there. You should try them. They''re Haagen-Dazs ice


    cream,” Liam suggested.


    Gwendolyn turned her head to look. The food that she ate just now was a little greasy. Besides, she


    was also craving something cold. And so, she got up and walked toward the dessert section of the


    cafeteria.


    A group of female colleagues was lining up to get some ice cream. When they saw hering, they all


    made way for her.


    One of them said, “Ms. Ashton! You first!”


    Gwendolyn had never been treated like this before. She was stunned for a moment before politely


    saying to them, “Thank you!”


    She opened the fridge and took out a box of ice cream. Then, she walked back to her seat while the


    others looked at her.


    After sitting down, Gwendolyn proceeded to speak while eating the ice cream.


    She said, “Mr. Derner, I feel like my colleagues in Lowen Group are very kind. They seem to look after


    me.”


    They''re so courteous that they even let me cut the line to grab some ice cream. They''re so nice!


    Liam almost spat out the food in his mouth. He quickly drank some soup before replying, “Yeah,


    everyone in Lowen Group is very kind.”


    Of course, Liam did not dare to say what was really on his mind. Everyone is treating you like the boss''


    wife, Ms. Ashton. Of course they''re nice!


    Gwendolyn felt very satisfied after finishing the ice cream. The lunch here is free and also plentiful. It


    really makes me want to work at Lowen Group until I retire!


    When she finished her lunch, she happily returned to Patrick''s office andy down on the couch.


    Even the CEO''s couch isfy. It''s so soft! And it feels so good to lie down on it.


    Gwendolyn set her rm to ring at half-past one. That was when she would have to wake Patrick up as


    well.


    When it was half-past one, Gwendolyn woke up and turned off the rm. She felt refreshed. That was


    a very good nap.


    Without dy, she got up from the couch and did some brief stretching exercises before heading over


    to the lounge.


    She saw Patrick sleeping with his hands above the nkets on his chest. His eyes were closed and his


    breathing was rxed. He looks so peaceful sleeping like that.


    Gwendolyn sat beside him on the bed. Then, she gently shook him to wake him up.


    “Mr. Lowen, it''s time to wake up,” she said.


    Patrick opened his eyeszily upon hearing Gwendolyn''s voice. He saw how close her face was to him.


    She was still pouting those pink lips of hers.
