With that, Connor opened the car door, got out of the car, and opened the back door for Gwendolyn.
“Ms. Ashton, today is your first day in the office. The senior executives of each department would like to
meet you.”
This assistant was a handsome, slim man. He had a sharp chin and wore a pair of glasses. He looked
like a character out of a comic book.
Gwendolyn's eyes fixated on him. She really wanted to ask if all the employees of Solstice Group were
so good-looking.
Alas, she did not pop the question. After all, she was a CEO now and should behave like one.
She bent over and got into the car. Connor returned to the driver's seat, and the car drove off.
Gwendolyn was a little flustered throughout the drive. She had become the CEO of Solstice Group out
of the blue and was assigned a handsome assistant.
Connor suddenly said, “Ms. Ashton, you don't need to be so nervous. Except for the face-to-face
meeting with the senior executives of the company in Avenport, the rest of the meetings will be held
online.”

won't be able to manage the company well. Are you Ms. Sanders' former assistant?”
The former CEO of the company was Sophia. Now that she had taken over her position, Gwendolyn
wondered if Sophia's assistant also worked for her now.
Connor replied, “Yes, I was Ms. Sanders' assistant before. She instructed me to follow your order from
now on. You don't have to worry about the company's affairs, I will help you.”
Gwendolyn was merely an honorary CEO, and the burden was all on Connor's shoulders.
It was evident that Sophia trusted Connor very much.
Gwendolyn breathed a sigh of relief. “Great.”
Patrick stayed by Hector's side all night because of the sudden onset of his illness.
The next day, when Hector woke up, he saw Patrick sitting on the couch with his head hanging, asleep.
His expression softened, and he felt sorry for Patrick for staying up all night.
Hector sat up, and right at this moment, Felicia pushed the door open and walked in.
She whispered when she saw Hector was awake. “Old Mr. Lowen, are you all right?”
Hector was fine. He was pretending to be sick last night, but his actions managed to fool Patrick, and
the latter was all nervous and worried about him.
At that thought, Hector felt glad to know that his grandson was so concerned about him.
“I'm fine. Get a blanket for Pat.”
Felicia looked at the man who was sitting upright on the couch. He looked so handsome even when he
is asleep.
She went all starry-eyed at the sight of the handsome man in front of her. Patrick did not let her stay
overnight last night. Fortunately, her family had a mansion around the area, so she spent the night
there.
The mansion was not very far—only ten minutes away from Patrick's house.
She took the blanket from the cabinet and walked toward Patrick. Just when she was about to drape
the blanket over him, the man's eyes suddenly snapped open, his gaze sharp with a glint of darkness.
Startled, she took a step back. Patrick was now awake, and his expression became colder when he
saw Felicia.

There was an obvious disappointment on his face. He hoped that Gwendolyn was the one who covered
him with the blanket. So he was upset when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Felicia.
Felicia pursed her lips slightly as she sensed his displeasure too.
“You must be tired after sitting like this all night. Since you're awake now, why don't you go back to your
room and rest?” she lowered her voice and cooed.
Hector reprimanded, “What's with your attitude, kid? Felicia is kind enough to cover you with a blanket.
Yet, you are being so rude to her. You're really being ungrateful.”
Felicia quickly explained, “Old Mr. Lowen, it's my fault. I must have made too much noise and disturbed
Patrick.”
Felicia sounded so sweet and kind. She didn't take credit for her good deed. Instead, she stayed
humble and took the blame.
Hector smiled knowingly. “You silly girl, you are just too kind.”
Then, he turned to Patrick. “Pat, you've been up all night. Go back to your room to sleep.”
Although Hector wanted to fix Patrick and Felicia up and hoped to get a great-grandson soon, he also
felt sorry for Patrick. Hence, he asked Patrick to rest first so that the latter would not be worn out.
