The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Unfortunately, what was done was done, and Evelyn knew there was no turning back for her.

A few seconds later, she lost all consciousness.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Harris Group, Gwendolyn had just taken over her family’s public listed company, so there was a lot she needed to familiarize herself with.

As a result, she had to spend a fair bit of time on work-related matters.

Thankfully, Cedrick stayed at her side the entire time and did everything from annotating documents to showering her with concern. He was, without a doubt, even more meticulous than a personal assistant.

At that moment, he was seated on the couch and holding a red pen as he quietly analyzed the thick stack of documents before him.

Legally speaking, the content of the files contained Harris Group’s confidential information and wasn’t allowed to be seen by Cedrick under any circumstances.

After all, Harris Group and Jenson Group were still competitors despite having had business collaborations.

Gwendolyn, however, had complete trust in Cedrick. Not only was she not worried about him stealing her company data, but she had also considered merging both businesses to bring their families to even greater heights.

As Gwendolyn sat on her chair, she couldn’t help but steal glances at the man.

She had to admit he was exceptionally handsome when he was all serious and focused.

It also helped that the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows cast a faint halo above his head, making him look even more like a noble, divine being.

Seconds later, Gwendolyn’s eyes glinted with mischief as a naughty idea came to mind.

Since Cedrick was still in deep concentration, she got up from her seat and crept stealthily behind him.

Then, without any warning, she pushed him down onto the couch and straddled his waist, her hands slithering up to play with his expensive tie.

“Gwenny?” Cedrick muttered, looking like a lost, confused puppy.

Gwendolyn wrapped his tie around her hand sensuously and leaned in till their noses touched.
