Layla's face fell as she examined the wound on Gwendolyn's chest.
The former did not expect the injury to be this serious. Wow, what an impressive man Mr. Lowen is.
This is not something an average person could do!
She smiled faintly at Gwendolyn. “Don't worry. It's not something serious. However, don't shower at
night. Otherwise, it'll take some time to heal.”
With that said, Layla took out an ointment from her medicine box and gave her instructions to
Gwendolyn. “Apply this ointment three times daily. You'll recover within several days.”
Gwendolyn took the ointment and applied some to her wound.
Exiting the lounge, Layla stood in front of Patrick's table.
“Mr. Lowen, I've examined her wound. She just needs to apply the medicated ointment for a few days,”
she informed.
Patrick raised his head and responded calmly, “Thank you, Dr. Robinson. Liam is waiting outside for
you with your monetary gift.”
“It's okay. I'm just doing my job.” Layla shook her head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe did not dare to receive the monetary gift since Kevin had sent her there.
“You must accept it,” Patrick remarked firmly.
The monetary gift was considered his hush money.
Seeing how firm he was, Layla did not insist. “Thank you, then, Mr. Lowen.”
By the time Gwendolyn came out of the lounge, she felt better. The ointment had an icy effect. After
applying it, her wound did not hurt as much anymore.
Seeing the smile on Gwendolyn's face, Patrick knew she had applied the ointment.
Gwendolyn went back to her desk. She arranged Patrick's current schedule, answered a few calls from
people who wanted to meet Patrick, and made an appointment for them.
When she had nothing to do, Gwendolyn would do some reading to improve herself. Only with higher
education level would she be able to choose a job that she liked in the future.
At some point, Lucy texted her: Gwen, sorry to disturb you. I know I told them I'd pay them in a month,
but I'm not done with the discussion of my house's price yet. Can I delay the payment for a few days?
Gwendolyn pondered a while after reading the text message from Lucy. There shouldn't be a problem
with delaying the payment for several days.
Thus, Gwendolyn replied: Okay, I'll contact him right away.
Lucy: Love you, Gwen!
Gwendolyn broke into a smile after seeing the cheesy gif that Lucy sent.
Taking her cup, she walked toward the pantry.
Gwendolyn noticed how her colleagues instantly ended their conversation and went back to their
respective seats upon seeing her.
Gwendolyn frowned, wondering if they were talking about her.
She tightened her grip on the cup and ignored the thought of them gossiping about her. After all, as
Patrick's personal secretary, it was natural for her to be close to him.
Earning money was no easy feat indeed.
Entering the pantry, she filled her cup with water and sat by the window to call Tommy.
“Gwen, are you paying today?” he asked on the other end of the line.
Tommy was in a good mood, as he had just received his commission for the month. If Gwendolyn paid
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe money now, everything would be done and dusted.
“Tommy, my friend is facing some issues right now. Is it possible for us to pay in a few days?” she
asked cautiously.
Tommy was momentarily stunned upon hearing that. “I have to ask my boss about this.”
“Sure, go ahead. I'll wait for your answer,” Gwendolyn replied with a smile.
After the call ended, she held the cup and took a sip, looking out the window. I finally have something
to look forward to in the future. I can feel that better days are coming. My only wish, for now, is that
Melanie will recover so that Lucy will regain her hope in life.
At that moment, Tommy called her. She hurriedly accepted the call and inquired, “Tommy, what did your
boss say?”
“He said a few more days is fine, Gwen. However, he'll be charging interest from now.”
Gwendolyn smiled. “I understand. Tell your boss that I agree with the interest.”
It's reasonable for him to charge us with interest since we're late in payment.
“The interest is quite high, Gwen. Remember to pay as soon as you can,” Tommy stressed.
Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn answered solemnly, “Okay. I'll urge her to pay as soon as she can.”
