The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

“Ah! Sorry!”

She quickly turned around and covered her eyes. Her heart was racing against her chest.

What did I just see? Mr. Jenson is the renowned head of the Jenson family in Salinsburgh and he is a cold and ruthless person who rarely smiles. But he actually let Ms. Harris pinch his butt obediently?

Gwendolyn heard the commotion from the couch, and her face flushed crimson. She tried to stand up, but Cedrick pulled her into his embrace.

He smiled devilishly and accused her in his deep voice, “Someone saw you bullying me. What should we do about it, Gwenny?”

I can’t believe he’s framing me! This b*stard!

Gwendolyn’s expression darkened, and she clenched her jaw. “How about you bark a few times for me?”

“No!”

Cedrick furrowed his brows, then leaned in as though there was no one else around and kissed her lips.

Joanne stood at the door anxiously.

Will I get fired tomorrow for seeing their intimate moment?

“I-I really didn’t see anything! I won’t disturb you guys. Please continue!”

She closed the door behind her, leaving the atmosphere thick with romantic tension.

Gwendolyn noticed Cedrick’s breathing became heavier and pushed him away quickly.

She tried to adjust her breathing. “Caesar is still waiting for us. Let’s go and eat.”

“Okay.”

He immediately rolled over and stood up. Then, he squatted on the carpet next to the couch and gently helped her wear her socks.
