After her meal at the cafeteria. Gwendolyn went back to her office to work.

Despite everything that had happened, her earlier thoughts about the Mossey family were merely speculations with no proof. She couldn’t be bothered to spend time looking for proof.

However, she would not remain indifferent toward the matter if Natasha were to come and mess with

her.

During late afternoon, Joaquin called.

The moment she picked up the call, Joaquin uttered in a sweet voice, “Gwendolyn, are you free tonight?”

Gwendolyn continued typing away on her keyboard as she curtly answered, “No.”

Joaquin pouted and went on about the reason he called. “There’s a Mossey family event I have to attend tonight. I’ve already worked for seven to eight days consecutively. You’ve got to give me a break, right?”

“Sure.”

Joaquin was taken aback by her swift response. Tentatively, he asked, “Then may I invite you to be my female companion for tonight’s event?”

Gwendolyn pursed her lips and looked away for a brief moment, seemingly mulling over something.

A beat later, she said, “Okay.”

She ended the call right after giving an affirmative response.

On the other end of the line, Joaquin could only lament under his breath about how aloof and heartless Gwendolyn was.

Gwendolyn wasn’t planning on attending the event, but since Joaquin had invited her, she decided to go take a look.

Half an hour later. Joanne knocked on the door and entered. She then put an exquisitely-wrapped gift box onto Gwendolyn’s desk.

“Ms. Shalders, someone delivered this here saying that it’s for you.”

“All right. You can go back to work.”

Once Joanne was gone, Gwendolyn stood up to open the box.

It was a dress, and its style was of her preference. Joaquin’s quite enthusiastic about this. He even bought me a dress.

Chuckling quietly, she shook her head and put the dress back into the box before returning to her work.

When working hours were over, most of the employees started packing in preparation to head home. Gwendolyn urged those who liked working overtime to head home as well. Only when most people in
