For the following days, Gwendolyn went to work as usual. She went to the branch offices for a site visit

with Patrick.

That day, they were going to Goodridge Mall in Avenport. It was under Lowen Group, and there were

branches all over the world.

It was New Year. Hence, every shop in that district had its promotional activities going on. The mall in

Avenport invited its CEO to attend an event where he was asked to give a speech.

Gwendolyn looked at the handsome man on the stage. He had to face the crowd with countless

cameras pointing at him.

Yet, he looked calm when he gave his speech with a sense of humor. The girls in the audience seat

were screaming excitedly. Standing backstage, Gwendolyn felt as though she was looking at a

celebrity.

Suddenly, a woman came closer to her and sized her up.

“Gwendolyn, is it you?”

Gwendolyn looked at the woman in a professional black suit. The latter, who had nicely trimmed short

hair, looked capable.

“Who are you?”

Lillian Simpson smiled as she replied, “Gwendolyn, it's me, Lillian Simpson! Your high school friend!

We haven't met each other for six years, and you never changed a bit! You're still as gorgeous as

before!”

Upon hearing her, Gwendolyn recollected her memory at once. “It's you, Lillian, our class monitor!”

She didn't recognize her because the latter used to have long hair and black-framed glasses back then.

Lillian was also an academic overachiever.

Lillian nodded in response. “So, you are Mr. Lowen's secretary now?”

A tinge of envy flashed across her eyes as she spoke. She remembered that Gwendolyn's grade in

school was not outstanding. It had to be her family background that secured her a good job today.

“Yeah. Lillian, are you working in Goodridge Mall? What a coincidence! We're colleagues now!”

Though Gwendolyn worked in the headquarters while Lillian worked in a branch office, they worked for

the same company regardless.

Lillian nodded. “Gwendolyn, let's exchange the contact numbers. We have a class reunion this

Saturday. You have to join us. We used to have it every year without your presence. This year, we

finally have everyone together!”

Gwendolyn added Lillian's WhatsApp and phone number. Nonetheless, she felt uneasy at the mention

of a class reunion somehow.

After all, many people had been criticizing her past. She didn't want her classmates to gossip about it,

too.

Lillian took a look at her watch and said, “Gwendolyn, promise me you'll come!”

Gwendolyn replied, “Sure.”

Meanwhile, Patrick had done his speech and cut the ribbon. When he came down from the stage,

Gwendolyn quickly poured a cup of ginger tea from the thermos and handed it to him.

“It's too cold here, Mr. Lowen. Warm yourself up with some tea.”

The location of the event was outdoor. The weather was gloomy. It was as though it would snow

anytime soon, and the temperature was low.

Gwendolyn was so cold that her face and nose had turned red. Her hands were frigid when she passed

him the cup.

Patrick took off his coat and draped it over her body.

Then, he accepted the cup and took a sip of the tea.

“I was a little nervous while giving the speech just now. So, I'm feeling warm now. Help me take the

coat.”

Initially, Gwendolyn wanted to return the coat to him and tell him that she wasn't feeling cold.

It turned out that he felt warm and didn't want to wear it instead. She could certainly use it then.

Smiling, she wrapped the coat tighter around her. She could still feel his warmth.

Meanwhile, Patrick told Liam, “Let's go back to the office.”

It was compulsory for him to attend the event that day. He wouldn't have asked her to come along if he

had known she would have to suffer the cold. After all, she would be more comfortable staying in the

company with the heater turned on.

Gwendolyn quickly grabbed her belongings and caught up with his pace. She felt she had come back

to life again when she got into the fully heated car.

Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from Lillian.

Lillian texted her: Gwendolyn, please be there on time this Saturday in Anderson Hot Spring Villa.
