Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 104

After exiting Lowen Group, Gwendolyn hailed a taxi to the hospital. She deliberately bought Melanie's favorite dessert and a cosmetics set for Lucy.

When she arrived at the ward, Melanie had gotten her injection and fallen asleep. Lucy was also sleeping beside the kid's bed.

Seeing that, Gwendolyn took a blanket and covered Lucy with it. Lucy was only lightly dozing, and she opened her eyes as she felt a warmth on her body.

She had gotten used to it two years ago, as she was worried about her kid. Hence, she would be awakened by even a little noise.

“You're here, Gwen,” Lucy remarked as she wiped her face.

“Just sleep a little longer.” Gwendolyn adjusted the blanket on Lucy.

Lucy shook her head. When she saw the cosmetics and desserts on the table, her gaze darkened.

“Gwen, why did you buy me the cosmetics? I don't even have the mood for it now.”

If it were not a requirement to put up makeup when working in Night City, she would not even want to wash her face during the day, not to mention any skincare routine.

Gwendolyn caressed Lucy's face. “Women should never give up on taking care of their appearance, no matter how bad the situation is. It's not for others but for yourself.” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

That was what she learned from the past. No matter how tough her life was, she persisted in carrying on her daily skincare routine, having a morning run, and practicing yoga.

Maintaining her appearance boosted her self-esteem, and her mood eventually got better.

Nodding, Lucy responded, “You're right. We should not give up on ourselves.”

Just then, a caregiver entered the ward. Her name was Audrey Lane. She had been helping Lucy take care of Melanie all this while. She could not help but sympathize with Lucy, and she took care of Melanie wholeheartedly.

“Luce, don't you have something to do today? Just go ahead.”

“Ms. Lane,” the two ladies greeted.

Audrey slightly nodded at Gwendolyn when she saw the latter. Then, she started to get busy, taking out the clothes she had washed at her place and putting them into the wardrobe.

Lucy combed her hair before washing her face in the washroom.

“Gwen, are you going to work after this? Let's head downstairs together.”

After taking their handbag and bidding farewell to Audrey, the two walked toward the elevator hand in hand.

There were not many people in the hospital at this hour. Hence, the two were the only ones in the elevator.

“I don't have to go to the office today. Where are you going? I'm going with you.”

Lucy looked at her and replied, “Didn't you say you're willing to give everything you have to Lowen Group for the salary they offered? I can't believe you're skipping work now.”

Gwendolyn did say that before. After all, her life had turned for the better, and she could afford to buy Lucy cosmetics with the job.

However, she was pissed when she thought of Felicia.

“Patrick's grandpa wants him to marry Felicia, right? Well, she came to our office today, and I got into a fight with her. Since we couldn't stay in the same office anymore, I'm the one who should leave.”

It sounded as if she was unnerved, as Felicia was supposed to be the one to leave. However, Felicia was the future CEO's wife, her future lady boss. That was why she chose to leave.

“Does Patrick want to keep you as his mistress?”

Apparently, it was Patrick's idea to hire Gwendolyn as his secretary and offer her such a high salary.

Gwendolyn's expression immediately changed. “No! There's no way I'm going to be his mistress.”

Mistresses were what she hated the most in her life. If it were not for a mistress like Candace, she would not have grown up without her mother by her side, and she could have had a better life than the current one.

Lucy laughed as she squeezed Gwendolyn's waist.

“All right, all right. I know you're reluctant. However, I can tell that Patrick likes you. You have to believe me in this.”
