He had no choice but to go over and whisper, “Ms. Gwendolyn, wake up. We have to leave now.”

Gwendolyn was sleeping lightly due to the uncomfortable position. Thus, she was easily awakened by Nico.

After giving her sore arms and back a rub, she carefully emerged from underneath the blanket with Nico’s help.

Just as she put on her slippers and got to her feet, she realized that Cedrick was still holding onto the corner of her sleeve.

Cedrick, whom she had settled down on the pillow, was furrowing his brows tightly and groaning.

The sight of his boss in such a condition elicited a sigh from the distraught Nico.

As for Gwendolyn, Cedrick’s reaction pained her even more. She felt the urge to pull him into her embrace, where she would kiss him and whisper sweet nothings. All she wanted to do was stay by his side forever.

Unfortunately, it was getting late. She and Nico had to rush to the airport to board their flight.

When she tried to peel Cedrick’s hands away, she failed to do so despite attempting twice.

The latter’s grip was just too tight.

“Gwenny, don’t go and see him. Don’t leave…” Cedrick repeated stubbornly in his sleep.

Gwendolyn’s fingers trembled as she tried to hold back her tears. She didn’t dare pry too forcefully for fear of waking him.

Treyton walked in all of a sudden and reminded her, “Kiddo, you’ll miss the flight if you don’t leave now. With me and Kieran around, no harm will come to him.”

Steeling her heart, Gwendolyn spoke in a calm voice to the sleeping Cedrick. “Ceddy, be good now. I’m not leaving. I’m just going to the bathroom and will be back shortly.”

The moment she finished, Gwendolyn ignored the presence of the others as she leaned in to give Cedrick a reassuring kiss, filling the room with a passionate air.

Stunned by the sight, Nico scratched his nose awkwardly before throwing Treyton a glance.

Despite the frown on the latter’s face that clearly demonstrated his displeasure, Treyton didn’t say a word.

At the end of the kiss, Cedrick seemingly calmed down and loosened his grip gradually.

Gwendolyn seized the opportunity to retract her hand and replace her sleeve with Treyton’s.
