“Okay then. Urge them and ask them to complete the surgery as soon as possible.”
Gwendolyn smiled when she finally saw some hope for Lucy.
As soon as the man came downstairs, he heard her joyful laughter. He purposely kept his steps light so that he would not catch her attention. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Then he overheard her talking about looking for a job.
I saw her video yesterday. Never did I imagine that she would work in a pet shop. The veterinarian uniform she is wearing doesn't suit her at all. Losing the job is something expected.
Gwendolyn suddenly felt that someone was watching her behind her back, so she turned around only to notice Patrick standing there and watching her.
“Luce, I'll get back to you later. I have to attend to some matters. Perhaps I'll visit you guys in a few days.”
She then hung up the phone and walked up to him.
“Breakfast is ready. It's time to eat.”
Walking in front of the man, she led him to the kitchen.
The dining table was in the kitchen because the house was built in the olden times, where the dining area and the kitchen were in the same place. The room on the other side was occupied by Camille.
When Patrick saw a layer of withered, fallen leaves in the courtyard, he could not help but raise his head to look at the tree.
Seeing that Patrick was curious about the tree, Gwendolyn explained, “This is a pear tree. It is full of sweet, crunchy pears during the fall season.”
Even though Patrick did not like pears, he surprisingly wanted to taste the pears there after hearing her words.
He followed her into the kitchen. It was rather old-fashioned. The surface of the marble dining table was so clean that it showed their reflections.
He then took his seat while Gwendolyn served him a bowl of oatmeal porridge. She then removed the white food cover, revealing a few simple side dishes.
“Patrick, this is all we have. Please eat some.”
She sat opposite him and sipped on her oatmeal porridge slowly. Occasionally, she would pick some of the side dishes and shove them into her mouth.
Patrick felt that it was enjoyable to see her eating. Instantly, he thought the oatmeal porridge and side dishes tasted good, albeit simple.
After finishing breakfast, Patrick was about to leave. He took a glance at his watch before giving her a business card.
“Our company is hiring. You may contact this number if you are looking for a job. Just say I gave you a referral.”
Gwendolyn's eyes widened slightly. Even those who graduated from top-tier universities might not be able to enter Lowen Group due to vigorous competition. Is this even possible for me?
“Mr. Lowen, you know. I only have a high school diploma,” she said sheepishly.
It had been difficult for her to find a job all these years. Her qualification was a critical drawback.
Patrick remembered her words from before, so he nodded slightly, signaling to her that he knew.

“Don't worry. They won't dare to reject my referral.”
He's right. After all, he is the CEO. They wouldn't dare to reject him.
“Thank you, Mr. Lowen,” Gwendolyn responded with a sweet smile.
While Patrick was heading outside, he said coldly, “No need to thank me. It's just that you still owe me money, and I'm afraid you will run away. So, I need to keep you within my sight.”
He pushed open the door and left while Gwendolyn stood in the courtyard alone. What a petty man! I thought it was for my good. It turns out that he wants to monitor me for fear that I will run away. I did want to walk him to the car initially. Just forget about it! There's no point in doing so now that he said something like that.
Meanwhile, Patrick got into the car. Liam, who came to pick Patrick up, felt that the latter seemed less distant in that Koandrian style shirt.
Patrick gave Liam the side-eye when he spotted the latter staring at him knowingly.
Liam chuckled. “Mr. Lowen, you're so handsome today!”
Patrick then lowered his gaze to his shirt. Even though it was not for him, she had weaved it personally, and he thought it was quite comfortable wearing it.
“Inform the HR department. If Gwendolyn Ashton comes looking for a job, they should offer her the position of the CEO's secretary.”
