Chapter 241


    Chapter 241 Apologizing for That Night


    However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Gavyn.


    Aylin was not only a legendary hacker who couldpete with him, but also possessed exceptional


    medical skills in emergency situations, saving Wesley from the brink of death. This was extraordinary,


    far beyond what an ordinary person could do. If she had also concocted this strange fragrance, that


    would be too incredible!


    One should know that hacking skills had absolutely nothing to do with medicine or perfume making.


    This was way too interdisciplinary and simply impossible!


    Gavyn gently pinched the small sachet, pursed his lips for a moment, and then spoke again.


    “If you happen to remember, please let me know as soon as possible.”


    “Okay.”


    Aylin’s response waspletely soulless.


    As Daniel watched from the side, he felt a mix of pride andplexity in his heart.


    He knew all too well that the sachet was Aylin’s handiwork, especially since she had just asked him to


    remake it yesterday.


    However, as he nced at the disheartened Gavyn, he realized that Gavyn had disappointed Aylin


    first. To Gavyn, this minor setback was still considered light: After all, Gavyn was the one who was


    clueless and overlooked Aylin.


    It was hard to say whether it was because of spending too much time with Aylin and Robert, but Daniel


    found himself somewhat mischievously looking forward to the day when Gavyn would discover the


    truth. Daniel would love to witness his reaction.


    It must be very exciting, right?


    Gavyn signed the contract swiftly, his handwriting strong and forceful yet crisp and elegant. Aylin


    couldn’t help but nce at it several times, ultimately unable to resistplimenting his beautiful


    penmanship.


    It was often said that one’s handwriting reflects their character. Just by looking at these characters, one


    could tell that they possessed a temperament created from his prominent standing, for it was dignified


    yet restrained.


    Aylin picked up the pen and swiftly signed her name next to the man’s. The approval she had for him


    dissipated as the final stroke waspleted.


    Gavyn is indeed an excellent businessman and partner, but that’s all he’ll ever I won’t have any other


    thoughts about him.


    “Here’s to a pleasant coboration.” Aylin extended her hand first.


    Gavyn extended his slender fingers and shook hands with the woman. “Pleasure working with you.”


    The gentle touch lingered for a moment before slipping away.


    Aylin withdrew her hand and smiled politely, creating a sense of distance.


    “It’s gettingte, and it’s almost time for lunch. I won’t keep you all here any longer. Daniel, please see


    them out for me.”


    She wants to kick me out that badly?


    “Wait a moment.” Gavyn, holding onto the lingering warmth on his fingertips, interrupted Daniel’s


    motion to stand up and see him off.


    Aylin frowned. “Does Mr. Dcruz have something else?”


    Gavyn was not really busy; he just felt uneasy in his heart.


    Throughout the entire time, Aylin maintained a wless, polite expression toward him, without a hint of


    any unnecessary emotions.


    Indeed, her action was perfect in the business world, but he couldn’t help but think of those tender,


    gentle eyes that once held such a delicate and flowing warmth.


    “Since it’s already time to eat, I’d like to invite Ms. Koch to join me for lunch.”


    Gavyn thought for a while and came up with an excuse.


    Have lunch?


    Upon hearing this, Aylin pursed her lips. She had never seen him being such a gentleman in her three


    years of marriage.

    “No. I don’t have much of an appetite today.”


    If it were the her from the past, she would have been overjoyed and at a loss for words when faced with


    Gavyn’s friendly gestures. But now, she was unwilling to get entangled unnecessarily with Gavyn.


    “You don’t have to eat greasy food. I know a great Japanese restaurant with fresh ingredients and light


    vors that you should enjoy,” Gavyn suggested without showing any obvious signs of annoyance.


    Instead, he offered a solution.


    Seeing his sudden serious expression, Aylin couldn’t help but find it amusing.


    “Why does Mr. Dcruz insist on me going?”


    This was originally a slightly mocking rhetorical question, but unexpectedly, Gavyn answered it quite


    seriously.


    He looked at Aylin, his deep ck eyes sincere and serious. “I want to apologize for my behaviorst


    night.”


    Aylin’s mouth stiffened at the corner.


    Daniel and Lloyd exchanged nces, clearly both intrigued.


    They were Aylin and Gavyn’s confidants, having heard about their pasts and always supporting them.


    At this moment, they were extremely curious about what had happened between themst night.


    Why did Mr. Dcruz get drunk and pass outst night, going to bed without even taking a bath?


    Why did Ms. Koch return homete at night with an unhappy expression on her face?


    It was said that Daniel and Lloyd were the first employees to reach a consensus for the Dcruz Group


    and the Koch Group to unite. Of course, this consensus only applies to that day.


    Daniel didn’t want to rudely interrupt their conversation, but Aylin caught a glimpse of him from the


    corner of her eye. Daniel’s gaze was filled with a profound curiosity.


    Lloyd blurted out, “So Ms. Koch was with Mr. Dcruz togetherst night. No wonder Mr. Dcruz was


    acting like that all night…”


    Gavyn turned his head and shot Lloyd a sharp nce. Realizing he couldn’t expose Gavyn’s


    indecency, Lloyd hurriedly mped his mouth shut.


    What happened to himst night?


    Aylin’s expression turned sour.


    However, what was even more displeasing for her was when Gavyn brought up the events ofst night,


    apologizing for something they both knew very well.


    Inebriated, Gavyn’s mind was clouded as he pressed her against the wall and forcefully kissed her!


    Damn it.


    Aylin got furious just thinking about it. How dare Gavyn bring it up in front of others! Is he asking for a


    beating?


    What a jerk! During our coboration, he was well-dressed and gentle. As soon as the discussion was


    over, he started to annoy me!


    Aylin gritted her teeth. “Fine, we can eat. It’s not a big deal.


    Considering Gavyn’s fondness for collecting during auctions, he would definitely treasure the zardozi


    work as a beloved item. Thus, there was no way he would bear to give it as a gift for someone else.


    Aylin said this on purpose.

    Her tone was unfriendly, and Gavyn’s face darkened a bit.


    The atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense.


    Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lloyd immediately stepped in to smooth things over, letting out a


    forcedugh and saying, “Ha… Well, Mr. Dcruz invited Ms. Koch with good intentions, right? The


    painting has already been auctioned off…”


    Before he could finish speaking, a sudden ringtone interrupted him.


    Aylin’s phone rang.


    Aylin didn’t know who the call was from. However, the moment she unlocked her phone, her eyes


    widened slightly, and her beautiful eyes were filled with joy.


    She casually picked up the phone, not even bothering to step out into the hallway to answer it.


    “Hello? Yes! I can hear you!”


    It was unsure what the other party had said, for Aylin couldn’t hide her excitement. “All right! Wait for


    me, I’ll change my clothes ande down immediately. Just wait for me!”


    As a high-ranking executive in thepany, she usually maintained a poker face, not showing her


    emotions. Both Daniel and Lloyd were stunned. What could have made her so happy?


    Aylin was on speaker, but the volume was low, so no one could hear clearly what was being said on the


    other end, let alone know who it was.


    Gavyn heard Aylin’s excitement. Thus, his face was tense with anticipation, wishing he could grow


    wings and fly over to find out who was on the other end of the phone call.


    Aylin was clearly overjoyed, smiling widely ever since she answered the phone.


    Unlike the polite smile she had when discussing cooperation with Gavyn, this smile was the genuine,


    heartfeltughter that Gavyn was familiar with from her in the past.


    It was so warm and radiant, just like a rose swaying in the wind on a spring day. It was a sight of


    iparable beauty.


    “Daniel, I need to pick someone up. Can you help me see the visitors off?”


    After finishing speaking, she excitedly picked up her handbag and walked away, her high heels


    cking against the floor.


    She did not give Gavyn another nce.
