"How do you plan on dealing with this?" Gwyneth asked, sitting on the sofa in the CEO's office in Luther Corporation while she looked at the man sitting across from her indifferently."I will look into what happened and make the payment at the earliest convenience." Liam poured two cups of tea, put them on the table, and looked at Gwyneth with a hint of scrutiny. He had never seen Gwyneth in semi-professional attire before. She looked sharp but stunning."Alright. I'll be waiting to hear from you." Gwyneth rubbed her finger on the teacup's rim and got up, ready to leave. Liam subconsciously stood up, a little reluctant to let her go. "Do you wanna have lunch together?""I don't have the money to eat because my company has not received our payment yet, Mr. Luther. I'm not even in the mood to think about lunch right now," said Gwyneth.Things came to a resolution two days later because of her words.Gwyneth was signing some papers in her office when Wesley entered the room, looking
Liam felt uncomfortable after hearing Henry's mockery, but he knew he could not blame Gwyneth for being good at keeping her secrets. No one else was to blame but him."Hey! Have you ever seen me single?" Henry shoved Liam with a serious face full of dissatisfaction when Liam teased him back.Henry was someone Liam could call his friend in this circle of people.Henry owned a showbiz company. Although he seemed a little eccentric, his wisdom and skills were admirable when he was serious.Probably because his industry was different, Henry was never short of women, but he also never fell for them. According to his own words, life is like a playground.From his perspective, the bare minimum for a genuinely loving relationship stems from reciprocity from both sides. With this thought in mind, his gaze turned to Gwyneth uncontrollably. She was uninhibited and was always able to strive in her career. There was constantly a smile on her face. Pairing up with how she looked with the stride
Just a while ago, Henry witnessed the entire farce unfold before his eyes. After watching Liam walk away with Elizabeth, a mischievous impulse stirred within him. As soon as he saw Gwyneth finish her conversation with a CEO, he swiftly approached her."Ms. Glen, I'm Henry Munroe, the CEO of Euphoria Entertainment. It's been a while since I've heard your name. I'm genuinely thrilled to meet you today," he said.Upon hearing Henry's official and slick greeting, Gwyneth had already given him a low rating, though she found him somewhat presentable.Henry continued, "Ms. Glen, did you come to the banquet by yourself today? How about we go somewhere else? Let's have a private discussion about a business deal?"Until now, Henry hadn't paid close attention to Gwyneth. But now, they stood barely a foot apart. As he looked at Gwyneth's face right in front of him, his heartbeat skipped a beat. She wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, but she had a charisma and a poise that made her stand out in the cro
As they conversed, Gaspard led Patrick into the backyard garden of the banquet hall, creating a secluded space for their discussion. Their conversation remained private; no one knew what they discussed. Upon their return to the banquet hall, Gaspard effortlessly merged with the crowd, while Patrick made a direct path toward Gwyneth."Ms. Glen, it's a pleasure to meet you," Patrick greeted.Gwyneth furrowed her brows slightly as she examined the unfamiliar face before her. She glanced at Wesley, who shook his head, indicating that he too was clueless about Patrick's identity.Sensing Gwyneth's confusion, Patrick let out a hearty laugh, attempting to alleviate the awkwardness.The scene was somewhat amusing, to say the least. A man nearing his fifties feeling jittery in the presence of a woman in her twenties, despite both holding high-ranking positions."It's understandable that you don't recognize me. After all, I worked with Glen Corporation when your father was in charge," Patri
Wesley, noticing Gwyneth's exhaustion, quickly walked over to a corner of the office to brew a cup of coffee for both of them. Taking a moment to ease their fatigue, they refocused on their work.Throughout the process, Wesley never questioned Gwyneth or displayed any doubt. Over the years, he had remained faithfully by her side. His loyalty and obedience for her had become second nature to him. In his mind, Gwyneth was unquestionably worth it.While they were dealing with the mess left behind by Glen Corporation, an incident unfolded at the Glen residence.Ever since the disappointing outcome of the international piano competition, Judy had been struggling to recover emotionally. Feeling suffocated with no outlet, she turned to indulgent shopping sprees at the mall, using her credit card as an escape. Judy believed that splurging on luxury items would bring her happiness and help alleviate her bottled-up emotions. However, the result was an uncontrolled spending spree that maxed ou
Elizabeth's sudden embrace caught Liam off guard, causing him to furrow his brows. He wasn't fond of physical contact and would have pushed away anyone other than Elizabeth. Nonetheless, he took a step back.Just as Liam was about to push Elizabeth away, the door behind them swung open.Since the end of the banquet, Gwyneth had been eagerly anticipating returning to the Luther residence and getting some rest. However, due to Glen Corporation matters, she had been occupied for a long time.Once she had made some progress, she swiftly got into her car and hurried back. Little did she anticipate that upon pushing open the door, she would be confronted with this shocking scene.Gwyneth caught sight of Elizabeth's smug smile directed at her over Liam's shoulder. It was almost as if she was deliberately flaunting it.Gwyneth couldn't help but think, 'That woman seriously lacks any common sense.' She let out a sigh. She didn't care where Elizabeth was, but if Elizabeth was going to distu
Gwyneth glanced at her friend's self-satisfied expression and grinned, lifting her glass. The two of them clinked their glasses together, their laughter blending into the vibrant buzz of the bar."You know, this is the first time we've seen each other since you took over Glen Corporation. So, congratulations to you," Aubrey said, her raised eyebrows conveying a playful tone influenced by the alcohol. Both of them wore a slightly dazed look, their cheeks flushed."I believe there's something else worthy of congratulations, aside from the Glen Corporation acquisition," Gwyneth remarked, lightly running her fingertip along the rim of her glass. A smirk danced at the corner of her mouth, hinting at a mix of emotions. However, in the dim lighting, Aubrey remained oblivious to Gwyneth's inner conflict."Oh! Right, right! How could I forget? Congratulations on reclaiming your lifestyle," Aubrey exclaimed. Initially, Aubrey had intended to congratulate Gwyneth on her newfound singlehood. Bu
Although the dim lights inside Ante Bar made it difficult for Liam to see clearly, he could make out his wife sitting in the corner. However, he struggled to determine the gender of the person she held in her arms. The sight before him, coupled with the unsettling phone call, tangled his thoughts.With clenched fists, Liam lunged forward, catching Henry off guard. His fists were poised for action, but as soon as he realized that the person in Gwyneth's embrace was a woman, his hands froze mid-air. However, due to the momentum fueled by his earlier rage, he couldn't control his forward motion, and the sudden halt caused his arm to almost cramp up."Gwyneth!" Liam squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at the woman before him.Gwyneth sat slouched in the chair, her face flushed with a faint blush, her mouth slightly agape. Her eyes, half-lidded, shimmered with a gentle radiance.Her evident intoxication didn't require an explicit mention; it was apparent to anyone observant enough.
