The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 261 Whose Problem

Cedrick’s expression turned dark, and he didn’t say a word.

Nico continued, “Boss, you should restrain yourselves. Overindulging in your desires can harm your health!”

Cedrick’s expression darkened further.

Nico belatedly realized that his recent pay rise was about to say goodbye to him.

Realizing the potential consequences, he quickly corrected himself, “I mean, if Mr. Asher were to discover this, it would be difficult for Ms. Gwendolyn when she returns to the Harris residence. It could lead to a significant uproar. Boss, considering your current health condition, if you were to sustain a severe injury again, there might not be anyone capable of rescuing you.”

Nico’s words weren’t pleasant to the ears, but he was telling the truth.

Cedrick wasn’t a tyrant, so he gave a nod in agreement.

Cedrick clicked into it and put on a stern expression. “An organization is causing trouble at the border. Pack up, and we’ll leave tomorrow night.”

“Got it, Boss.”
