Perfect CEO

Chapter 31

His body was so firm that when he knocked into her, it felt very painful. She put her hand on his shoulder to stand steadily, and their eyes met.

“What kind of punishment would you like? How about increasing the interest of your debt?”

Judging from his behavior, Gwendolyn could tell he had drunk quite a lot. No wonder he sounded strange over the phone. He spoke more passionately rather than in the usual indifferent and cold tone.

Thinking that he was drunk, Gwendolyn helped him to remove his tie.

He felt more comfortable after his tie was removed. Then, he cast his alluring eyes upon her.

“I've drunk quite a lot tonight, and I'm feeling pretty awful now. Do you know how to make a hangover remedy?”

In fact, he did not drink much, as he only drank a glass of white wine. Besides, he had always been a good drinker. He simply wanted to feel how it was to be drunk.

It was as though he could only express his true feelings when he was not sober.

Gwendolyn blinked her big eyes and said, “Yes, I know how to make it. Mr. Lowen, didn't you ask me to come here and do some chores? So, what exactly are the chores?”

It seemed like someone had been cleaning Patrick's house frequently, as it looked pretty clean and neat.

Patrick looked into her eyes. She's such a naive girl, and she gets tricked so easily. novelbin

“Can you clean my bedroom and cook me meals?”

Patrick had never allowed anyone to enter his bedroom. Even the housekeeper of the Lowen residence dared not enter his room.

Gwendolyn's brows settled into a frown as she said, “I can clean the house, but I can't cook that well.”

Most of the time, Camille would be preparing the meals because Gwendolyn was bad at cooking. Not wanting to harm her children with her horrible cooking, Gwendolyn could only keep Camille in the house.

“That's okay. You can pick up the skills. Make me some hangover remedy now.”

Gwendolyn slightly nodded and went into the kitchen. She had no issue making the hangover remedy. Zayden had often been forced to drink during his business meetings, so Camille had made him the same remedy a few times before. Hence, Gwendolyn had learned how to make the remedy from Camille.

She took a tomato and cut it into pieces. Then, she placed the cut pieces into the water and boil them. The remedy would be ready when the water developed a tangy taste.

While waiting for it to boil, Gwendolyn took out her calculator and started doing the calculation. She had to pay a total amount of one hundred twenty-five thousand. How much monthly wage would I need if I wish to clear the debt as soon as possible?

She thought for a while before deciding to ask for ten thousand. Before this, she had gone online to make some research. She found out that housekeepers who worked for half a day usually would be paid around four thousand a month. Thus, ten thousand was quite a lot to ask for.

Gwendolyn brought the hangover remedy to the living room and placed it in front of Patrick.

“Mr. Lowen, the remedy is ready. Be careful. It's still hot.”

He could not help but chuckle at her move. It was unusual to have someone reminding him and taking care of him attentively.

“Mr. Lowen, can I ask for a monthly wage of ten thousand?”

He's definitely not in a clear state of mind now because he's drunk. As long as he agrees to my request now, there's no way for him to go back on his words tomorrow.

Patrick sat right up and was about to use a spoon to scoop the remedy. After hearing what she said, he furrowed his brows slightly. She is thinking of swindling me!

“I'm offering you five thousand a month, which is already one thousand more than the market price.”

Gwendolyn cursed inwardly, What a cunning man! How could he still be this sensible even when he's drunk?

Pouting her lips, she seemed reluctant to accept the offer, but he was not wrong about the market price. Thus, she was in no position to turn him down.

“Okay, I'll accept it.”

She's going to work hard here for two years then! That's going to cost me a lot!

Looking at how her face darkened, Patrick found her adorable, and he broke into a faint smile unknowingly.

“You can go and clean up the room now. It's the first room on the second level.”

Gwendolyn went upstairs and entered the first room. It was very spacious, and there was a study that led to the bedroom inside.

She went directly to the bedroom. It was very dark in the bedroom, as the wallpaper and the beddings were all in black color. Aside from that, the bed was a mess.

Gwendolyn decided to start tidying the bed first. The moment she lifted the blanket, she saw a stunning woman lying on the bed. However, it was not a real human.

It looked like one of Juliette's Barbie dolls, but it was a life-sized one.

She carried the life-sized doll and walked to the stairway.

Then, she yelled at the man downstairs, “Mr. Lowen, I don't know you still play with dolls. Let me put some clothes on her and do a makeover for her. You'll be surprised how attractive she can be!”

Patrick, who was drinking the remedy, choked and spat the liquid out. How could I forget about that?
