Chapter 694 It Is Him

Gwendolyn widened her eyes. Wow... I can't believe I'd run into him here.

When Patrick finally loosened his grip on her, she regained her balance and muttered, “Thank you.”

The two of them had become strangers, and it was undeniably heart-wrenching.

Alas, Patrick said nothing and strode off, leaving Gwendolyn to stare at his retreating figure with a

darkened gaze.

So that's how it is, huh? If two people who were once in love fail to cherish each other, they'd

eventually become strangers. Patrick and I are a prime example of that, aren't we? The fact that he

seems to have forgotten me hurts a lot... He probably didn't have fond memories of me, so he saw no

reason to hold on to them.

Gwendolyn sighed and gradually recomposed herself.

Her life might be an utter mess now, but she knew she had to soldier on.

She even had an important client waiting for her, so there was no time for her to wallow in her misery.

With that thought in mind, she quickly tidied up her hair and clothes and marched toward the elevator.

After taking the elevator to the sixth floor, she looked for Room 608 and stepped inside with a smile.

Upon seeing her, Connor stood up and looked at the man beside him.

“Ms. Ashton is here, Mr. Lowen.”

It was only then that Gwendolyn realized the client she was meeting was none other than Patrick

Lowen.

On the contrary, Patrick was incredibly calm and showed no signs of surprise as he gave a polite nod.

“Hello, Ms. Ashton. So, you're the CEO of Solstice Group.”

Well, well, well. I must admit I never knew Solstice Group belonged to Gwendolyn. I've never looked

into the company, nor do we have many business relations with them. This is the first collaboration with

Solstice Group, but I still don't understand how Gwendolyn became its CEO... Does this mean she has

even more secrets now?

Gwendolyn sat beside Patrick in dazed silence, but thankfully, it didn't take long for her to regain her

composure and confidence.

“Mr. Lowen, the purpose of today's meeting is to talk about bringing shopping malls into the new urban

area. That land belongs to Lowen Group, and our company would like to build a mall there,” she said

before pulling out a file. “Here's our proposal. Please have a look.”

Connor glanced at Gwendolyn and frowned.

What's wrong with Ms. Ashton today? It's not her style to hand over proposals within seconds of the

first meeting! Wouldn't that make her intentions a little too desperate and obvious?

Gwendolyn, however, didn't seem to mind one bit, nor did she care that Connor was throwing her

looks.

“One word from you, and we can be done with this, Mr. Lowen,” she added.

A faint smile tugged at Patrick's lips.

“Is this your first time conducting a business meeting, Ms. Ashton?”

Connor rubbed his forehead in exasperation. D*mn it. Patrick Lowen is notorious for being ruthless and

a pain to deal with. Not even the craftiest and most seasoned players in the business world are a

match for him! I came into this meeting with little confidence, and now that I've seen how Ms. Ashton's

handling it, I think we may as well give up.

To his surprise, Gwendolyn broke into a smile. “No, but it's my first time talking business with you, Mr.

Lowen. I'm very interested in this partnership, and I'm sure you know my company's more than capable

of taking this on,” she said while pouring wine from the bottle. “Of course, I'll also be happy to drink with

you tonight.”

Patrick's gaze suddenly darkened. She's pouring white wine... Is this what her life has become? Is

meeting clients and drinking with them all she does?

“I'm not touching alcohol tonight,” he replied, causing Gwendolyn to flinch ever so slightly.

The next second, he took the wine from the woman and turned to a waiter beside him.

“Clear all the wine away.”

The waiter did as instructed and hurriedly removed every bottle and glass of wine from the table.

Now that there was no alcohol in sight, Connor began to realize how differently Patrick treated

Gwendolyn. At the very least, the man did regard the latter as a woman and respected her.

Without further ado, Connor got to his feet. “Let's drink some fruit juice, then!”
