The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 254 Her Right To Punch Him

Cedrick entered Jenson Group’s CEO’s office. Barely a minute had passed when Nico rushed into the room in search of rewards.

“Boss, you’re positively glowing today. It must have been a wonderful night, right?” Nico said, rubbing his hands as he flashed a keen smile at Cedrick.

Positively glowing? My punishment the night before had lasted almost an hour. Even now, my knees are swollen and bruised. So, sure, positively glowing.

Cedrick narrowed his eyes as a dark look crossed his face. However, a smile grew on his lips, and it was a strange sight to behold.

Nico was baffled. It was his first time seeing such a peculiar expression on his boss’ face. The man looked angry, but he also looked like he was in a good mood.

Thus, Nico could not figure out whether or not things went smoothly or south the night before.

Cedrick was donning a rare look that day—a pair of black leather gloves. He then took off one of them and showed Nico his left palm. When he spoke, there was no emotion in his deep voice.

“What do you think?” asked Cedrick.

When Nico saw the bruising on Cedrick’s left palm, he widened his eyes to the point his eyeballs were about to pop out of their socket.

This is… Did Ms. Gwendolyn hit him again? His palm is so swollen! She’s ruthless and fierce!

Nico instinctively swallowed. He could imagine how terrible the night went after the man did what he told him to do.

It did not help that Cedrick was the ruthless kind of person who bore grudges. He would definitely drag someone else to hell with him.

Sh*t, not only am I failing to be rewarded for my deeds, but I’m actually stepping right into the trap!

Nico’s legs turned to jelly, and he threw himself by Cedrick’s feet before hugging the latter’s right leg.

He had no acting skills to speak of, so he could not summon any tears to his eyes. All he could do was howl, “Boss, I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have given you that horrible idea! This is all my fault. I’ll do anything! I’ll even be fine with a suspension, but please don’t deduct my pay anymore, or else I’ll be stuck having mac and cheese forever!”
