Outside the VIP room, when Nico saw everyone except his boss, as well as Evelyn, had left, he opened the door a

little and peeked inside.

When he did, he just so happened to hear Evelyn’s last sentence.

He was so shocked that he went pale. Immediately, he ran to a quiet corridor and called Gwendolyn to inform her

what he had heard. If she still doesn’t come, Boss may get drunk and be taken advantage of by another

woman!

Inside the room, Cedrick was still gripping Evelyn’s neck. He sneered, “Do you think you can be compared to her?”

Evelyn’s smile gradually vanished as though she was stung by his words. Besides, she was having difficulty

breathing.

Cedrick wasn’t interested in watching her suffer and withdrew his hand. “If you still want to keep your position as

the ambassador, I suggest you get out of my face right now!”

Holding her neck, Evelyn coughed a few times before grabbing her bag and exiting the room.

After she was gone, Cedrick glugged down several bottles of wine again. Because he drank too fast, he got drunk

quickly.

He removed his gloves almost out of habit and collapsed on the couch, unconscious.

When Gwendolyn arrived, she met Evelyn at the entrance of The Honey Bee.

Beaming, Evelyn greeted her. “What a coincidence, Ms. Harris. You arrived just as the drinking session ended.”

“It’s not a coincidence. I’m here for my man.” Gwendolyn lifted her chin slightly, exuding an arrogant and frigid

vibe.

She uttered the last two words with resolve as though she was staking her claim on Cedrick.

Evelyn’s expression changed slightly, though she quickly smiled again. “I’m quite jealous to see how in love you and

Mr. Jenson are with each other. I hope the both of you will stay together until the end.”

“We will.” Gwendolyn was aware that Evelyn was being sarcastic, even though she couldn’t discern much

information from the latter’s words.

Promptly, Evelyn left without saying another word.

Just as she passed Gwendolyn’s side, the latter grabbed her arm. “I’m curious who your wealthy backer is, Ms.

Evelyn. Can you tell me in secret?”

Evelyn was surprised. “Do you truly want to know, Ms. Harris? I’ll share my secrets with you if you hand Mr. Jenson

to me.”

“Well, in that case, feel free to keep those secrets forever.” Upon withdrawing her hand, Gwendolyn gracefully

folded her arms.

“It’s not fun hiding secrets for a lifetime.” Evelyn narrowed her eyes with an innocent smile. “Don’t worry, Ms.

Harris. You’ll know the answer to my secret sooner or later. Just don’t get too surprised when the time comes.”

Arching her eyebrow, she left.

Gwendolyn turned back and watched Evelyn leave with a serious expression as she thought about the hidden

meaning in the latter’s words.

It wasn’t until Evelyn vanished from her sight that she put away her thoughts and entered the bar.

Nico was on pins and needles as he waited for Gwendolyn in front of the room. The instant she entered his view, he

bolted toward her. “Please don’t misunderstand, Ms. Gwendolyn! It was just a meeting! Ms. Evelyn was only invited

because she’s the ambassador of ”

Gwendolyn’s expression darkened. “Mhm.” Stepping past him, she entered the room.

She’s angry. Nico clasped his palms together and prayed for his boss.

Upon arriving in the room, Gwendolyn immediately focused on Cedrick, who was drunk on the couch.

She sat beside him and gently patted his cheek, asking probingly, “Cedrick?”

It didn’t elicit any reaction, meaning he was genuinely drunk.

Waves of fiery rage crashed into her heart as she took in the stink of alcohol on his body.

This troublesome scoundrel! Not only did he not tell me about his meeting, but he also drank until he was tipsy only

days after he recovered! He was even spending time alone with Evelyn! Was he not worried that Evelyn would stay

and take advantage of him while he was unconscious? He’s too careless! I can’t believe I spent the entire

afternoon, even during a meeting, thinking about the surprise I will spring him to spice up our love life. It feels like

I’ve wasted my time! A look of mischief dominated her eyes as she furiously opened her bag and pulled out a

waterproof lipstick she bought not long ago. “Tonight, I’ll teach you how evil the world outside can be!”

After unbuttoning Cedrick’s shirt, she wrote a few words on his bare chest.

Then she put some lipstick on her lips and kissed his neck and chest.

The scarlet, sexy lipstick stains on his healthy, honey–colored skin were impossible to ignore.

His handsome face was alluring when adorned with a body full of kiss marks.

Gwendolyn thought she should add one more finishing touch and kissed his left cheek.

After that, she wordlessly admired her work. I think I did a pretty great job! You prepare to suffer, Cedrick!

Upon leaving the room, she approached Nico and whispered to him. “When he wakes up, tell him this…”

Nico trembled. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. If Mr. Jenson learns that I’m helping you lie to him, he’ll kill me!”

I’ve learned a lesson recently, which is to never piss off women, especially someone as cold–blooded as Ms.

Gwendolyn! Oh no, my poor boss is really done for!

Patting his shoulder, Gwendolyn assured, “You won’t die, not with me around.”

Nico panicked even more.

Her words reawakened the little demon living in his heart. Hence, he grabbed the room’s handle and took a deep

breath.

Once he gathered himself, Nico rushed into the room.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the sight of lipstick marks on Cedrick’s body.

Panic was written all over his face as he shook Cedrick, “Wake up, Boss!”

Slowly, Cedrick opened his eyes and stared at Nico in a drunken stupor.

“Wake up! Something bad has happened! Look!” Nico turned on the selfie mode on his phone and showed it to

Cedrick.

Cedrick’s drowsiness was instantly blasted away when he saw the words on his chest.

Without delay, he lowered his sight and saw his shirt had been unbuttoned.

He shuddered upon seeing the scarlet lipstick stains on his body. “What’s written on me? Who did this?”

Nico read the words aloud. “It was a wonderful night, Mr. Jenson. See you next time.’ Boss, the last who left the

room was Ms. Evelyn.”

Immediately, he covered his mouth in shock. “Oh no! Boss, were you… Oh my god! You have kiss marks on your

face, too!”xo.com fast update

“Evelyn?” Cedrick tried to recall what happened. I remember seeing Evelyn looking appropriate when she left.

Did I black out?

“Godd*mn it! Was I… Have I been soiled?” A horrible feeling enveloped him.

Additionally, even though he was convinced Evelyn was responsible for what happened to him, he wasn’t disgusted

by the lipstick stains on him.

Cedrick had a problem breathing that he almost passed out on the spot. Not only did I lose my good name, but I

technically cheated! I’m sorry, Gwenny!

“Ceddy!” exclaimed Gwendolyn with worry outside the room just as he was about to smash his head on the wall in a

rage.
