Chapter 183 Gwendolyn watched Sanford with a reluctance she couldn't fully disguise. After all, he was her boss, so she had little choice but to nod In agreement.
"Alright Sanford led the way out of the office, with Gwendolyn following closely.
"Mr. Hamilton, what can I do for you?” she asked softly The corridor was bustling with people passing by, many of whom cast curious glances their way.
But Sanford seemed oblivious to the onlookers, first offering an apology, "Suspending you was to calm the media storm. I'm sorry for putting you through that without knowing the full story" Gwendolyn pursed her lips and replied, "It's standard procedure. You're not to blame" "I still owed you an apology," he said, his usually stem face softening a touch Gwendolyn looked at him and felt a sudden warmth. "Then I accept your apology" Sanford lightened his mood considerably. From his suit pocket, he produced an elegant invitation, "This is from my grandmother who askedto give it to you. It's an invitation to my family's christening celebration. My aunt's smooth delivery went well, thanks to you" 1. Gwendolyn stared at the handwritten invitation, sensing Sanford's sincerity, but she was hesitant.
"Isn't it a family affair? I wouldn't want to intrude," she declined gracefully.

He pressed the invitation into her hand.
Gwendolyn held the paper, no longer voicing any objection.
Sanford studied her for a moment longer before leaving.
Truth be told, Gwendolyn didn't resemble his sister much, but the more he saw her, the more he found Gwendolyn appealing. The sister he had imagined since childhood should be as gentle and well-behaved as Gwendolyn, not someone who, though outwardly fragile and sensible, manipulated situations to gain the family's affection through cunning.
Gwendolyn tucked the invitation into her locker before assisting Alken with the patients.
The morning rush was relentless with a steady stream of patients.
She was only calling numbers, but even that was wearing her out.
At noon, Sandra called her out for funch.
"Let's go treat ourselves, Sandra said enthusiastically, linking arms with her. "We'll have lunch at the mall today. We've got a break to celebrate your return to work." "You don't have to spend on my account." Gwendolyn's reputation might have risen, but she didn't feel any different, still as thrifty as ever..
two-hour "It's not a splurge if I'm treating!" Sandra insisted with a generous smile. "You have no idea how generous your husband can be. Not only did he replace my phone, but he even offereda house as compensation! I was floored. That's just how the wealthy roll" "A house?" Gwendolyn was equally stunned.
"I didn't dare accept it then, but thinking about it now, I kind of regret it," Sandra joked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy would she take a house? It would never feel like a peaceful home.
Gwendolyn covered her mouth, laughing along.
Her heart was filled with sweetness and joy. Mr. Chadwick was endearing.
Suddenly, her eyes caught the large screens inside the mall, plastered t with the face of the international rising star ballerina, Selina Hamilton.
Lately, it seemed no matter where she went, Selina's interviews and advertisements were omnipresent.
Sandra followed Gwendolyn's gaze and remarked, "A ballerina being treated like a celeb. Even movie stars don't get this much buzz." "What do you mean?" Gwendolyn was puzzled.
Sandra explained earnestly. "In my eyes, true artists are solitary and dedicated to their craft. They're not obsessed with making public appearances every day. She's been promoting her return to Bayridge City for half a month now. Look, that's her homecoming date."
