Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 202

After Liam spoke, he lifted his hand to knock on the door. Amber arched an eyebrow and snickered devilishly.

“Mr. Derner, I'd advise you not to go in now. Also, it's best that you don't knock on the door.”

Liam didn't quite understand her meaning. Thinking that she had unquestionably been hauled over the coals by Patrick, he merely flashed her a smile.

“Got it.”

Alas, he didn't listen to her. Courting death, he lifted his hand and knocked on the door before making to push open the door and enter.

At that exact moment, the door was pulled open from the inside. Patrick stood at the door, staring down at Liam frostily.

“What's the matter?”

The look in his eyes was irate, and his voice was as cold as ice.

The two people at the door couldn't help shuddering.

Stealing a glance at Amber, who took off swiftly, Liam finally believed her words earlier.

“Mr. Lowen, the banquet hall is all set up. Would you like to go and have a look? If—”

“No one is allowed to enter the CEO's office in the next two hours.”

After saying that, Patrick spun around. He pushed open the door and slipped in, leaving Liam his cold back.

Liam's lips twitched. I haven't finished speaking!

He stood there in shock and digested everything for a long while before he gathered his wits about him.

He doesn't care about the engagement at all. Instead, a single question on that topic seemingly sparks his temper. It's better that I don't ask him anything!

Gwendolyn slept for over an hour. When she awakened, she was startled and abruptly jerked her head up.

When she saw that Patrick still had his head buried in work, she lifted her hand and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

In the next heartbeat, Patrick's eyes, which resembled black holes, turned her way. She hastily straightened in her seat and feigned busyness. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Following that, the jacket draped over her slipped down. Quickly reaching out, she caught it, only to discover that it wasn't hers but his.

No wonder I slept so soundly just now. The faint fragrance of him had been wafting into my nostrils all along, making me feel completely at ease.

At the same time, she also realized that he knew about her sleeping on the job. She stood up and hung his jacket onto the coat stand before walking over to him.

“Mr. Lowen, I woke up too early this morning and even ran five kilometers with a heavy load, so I'm a bit tired. I won't slack off again in the future.”

Please don't have Ms. Ziegler take over my job! I'll definitely be serious and work hard!

Patrick lifted his head and glanced at her. “If you're still sleepy, go and sleep on the bed inside. It's more comfortable there.”

Those were his heartfelt words. If it weren't for his worry of waking her, he would have carried her into the room long ago.

Chuckling awkwardly, Gwendolyn lifted her hand and scratched her head.

“I'm not sleepy anymore, Mr. Lowen. I'll get back to work right away.”

She hurried back to her desk and started working energetically.

Just then, her phone rang with a call from her father, Zachary. She hesitated for a while before answering the call.

“Hello.”

“It's me. Fel is going for her wedding gown fitting today. Go with her. Since girls have the same aesthetics, you can give her your opinion.”

Gwendolyn never expected him to call her, but she was no longer surprised after hearing that.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Ashton, but I'm at work and have no time.”

Right after saying that, she hung up and tossed the phone aside, hoping that he wouldn't call again.

However, Candace insisted. They were determined to trample on her dignity.

Thus, Zachary phoned her again. When Gwendolyn saw that he was ringing her up again, her entire face scrunched up.

Taking the call, she held the phone far away from her.

“Hello? Hello? The signal here is bad, so please contact me again tomorrow if you need anything.”

Then, she hung up the phone once more.

After doing that, she burst into giggles and even muttered, “I'm so smart!”

The entire scene was witnessed by the man sitting a stone's throw away. A glimmer of curiosity glinted in his eyes.

Who phoned her just now that she was so reluctant to answer the call? Anyway, the mischievous side of her is really adorable!

At that precise moment, Felicia phoned her directly. Gwendolyn heaved a sigh. Ugh! Verily, she doesn't give up until she learns her lesson the hard way. Fine, then!

Livid, she accepted the call before putting it on speakerphone.

“I'm currently at work, Felicia. If there's anything you want to say, say it to Mr. Lowen.”
