Chapter 450


    Gwendolyn''s eyes widened slightly. She had forgotten that she was wearing makeup. She wanted to


    wipe the stain off, but she knew that Patrick would have woken up if she tried.


    I''m guessing he must be very tired if he''s in such a deep sleep. I''ll just let him sleep more, then. He''s


    going to wake up and wash his face anyway. He''ll definitely see it.


    Gwendolyn blushed slightly at that thought. She had stolen a kiss from him and left evidence behind.


    How embarrassing!


    Just then, she felt her phone vibrate. Lte had sent her a message that read: We''re ready, Gwen.


    How about you?


    They did not know that Gwendolyn had roaming services activated, and thus sent her a message on


    WhatsApp instead. With a smile, Gwendolyn left her room and rang the doorbell next door.


    When Lte opened the door and saw Gwendolyn, she let out an excited squeal.

    “You look gorgeous, Gwen!”


    Lte was dressed in a white gown. Tiffany, on the other hand, was dressed in a vintage red dress.


    She looked very beautiful and extravagant as she walked out from the inside.


    Tiffany inclined her head slightly and said, “Gwen, this look really suits you. Let''s go!”


    As Tiffany subconsciously nced at Gwendolyn''s neck, a hint of surprise filled her eyes.


    However, she chose not to ask questions. She merely walked ahead.


    When Lte saw that Tiffany had left, she boldly grabbed Gwendolyn''s arm.


    “Gwen, that''s a beautiful ne you have. What brand is it?”


    Lte had been in the fashion world for quite some time now. She was very well-versed in clothing


    and jewelry. Gwendolyn''s ne seemed to be of good quality, but Lte could not make out whose


    workmanship it was.


    It could have been a custom-made piece from a small atelier.


    Gwendolyn reached up to stroke the ne. The thought of the cost made her hesitate to tell


    anyone.


    Patrick had put the ne on her and forbade her from taking it off.


    “Well, I found it in a small shop. It''s not really worth much, but I found it to be quite fetching.”


    Lte stared at it and replied, “Oh, that exins why I couldn''t figure out who made it, but it does look


    good. It also has a really good luster.”


    Gwendolyn immediately changed the topic. If it was Tiffany who asked her, Gwendolyn would have no


    choice but to tell her the truth. By changing the topic, they did not have to discuss this in the elevator


    later.


    “Lte, were you tired after your shopping spree? What did you buy?”


    At the mention of shopping, Lte then had a reason to babble on. She started expanding on her


    itinerary for the day and mentioned all the things she had purchased.


    The trio was standing by the elevator. When the doors opened, Liam strode out. He stopped in his


    tracks when he saw Gwendolyn there.


    “Ms. Ashton.”


    Gwendolyn returned his gaze with a smile. She knew that he was here to see Patrick.


    “Hello, Mr. Derner. He''s currently asleep. You can move about freely for the time being.”


    Liam was slightly taken aback by this. After all, it was Patrick himself who asked him to drop by. Mr.


    Lowen was supposed to stay in the presidential suite but chose not to in the end. Now, I can''t even tell


    where he is.


    When Liam saw Gwendolyn, he understood why Patrick had gone abroad this time.


    However, since there was a project to be discussed, Patrick had to make a distinction between work


    and his love life.


    Liam nodded slightly. “Very well.”


    When Gwendolyn and her party entered the elevator, they only spoke once the doors were closed.


    “Do you know him?” asked Tiffany.


    “I was Patrick Lowen''s secretary before. Of course I know who his assistant is,” exined Gwendolyn.


    Tiffany arched a brow. “You''ve resigned?”


    “Yes, over a private matter. I''ve resigned since.”


    The thought of this still made Gwendolyn''s heart ache. After all, the wages from that job were quite


    high.


    “I reckon it''s all for the best. It''s not like Lowen Group is all that great, anyway. You should stay away


    from anyone in the Lowen family.”


    Upon hearing this, Gwendolyn was a little surprised.


    I wonder if she''s been in conflict with the Lowen family in the past. By the looks of it, I can''t tell her


    about my rtionship with Patrick yet. If she finds out that we''re together, won''t she ask me to leave


    him?
