The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

He narrowed his eyes and gave Gwendolyn a menacing stare. “Who is more attractive, him or me?”

Gwendolyn chuckled. “You, undoubtedly.”

Cedrick remained dissatisfied. “Does he possess a fit physique? Is he skilled in dancing?”

Cedrick’s jealousy filled the elevator.

Gwendolyn stifled a laugh and wrapped her arms around his neck. She fixed him with an intense gaze, leaned in, and whispered in his ear.

Instantly, Cedrick was pacified by her words.

He nuzzled his nose against hers and said in a deep, husky voice, “I’ll showcase my dance moves when we arrive home, Gwenny. Would you prefer sensual or sexy dance moves?”

Gwendolyn suppressed a giggle. “I want both sexy and sensual moves.”

Cedrick bowed his head and planted a kiss on her lips. “You shall have it all. However, I request that you refrain from watching other men perform such dances in the future.”

Gwendolyn was left speechless. “His moves during the first half of the performance were completely normal. I had no idea the second half would change so drastically. But to be honest, this trainee’s dance skills are versatile and diverse, quite impressive,” she unwittingly praised Jimmy once again.

Cedrick’s face darkened. “That just means he’s a player! A seducer! He must have ulterior motives for pulling off those moves in front of a married woman!”

Gwendolyn nearly burst into laughter. She quickly reassured him by gently caressing the back of his neck. “Okay, okay, I won’t watch other men perform such dances in the future. We wouldn’t want to make this guy jealous again, would we?”

Satisfied with her response, Cedrick confidently walked out of Angle Corporation.

As Gwendolyn watched the building fade into the distance, a sudden question popped into her mind.

“Cedrick, why is it that whenever I’m at Angle Corporation dealing with work and accompanied by two other men, you always appear? Did you plant a spy to keep tabs on me?”

Cedrick froze at her words.

Gwendolyn scrutinized his facial expressions, narrowing her eyes. “You better be honest with me. What have you done?”

“I-I can explain.” He paled.

Gwendolyn firmly grasped his chin, turning his face from side to side to examine him. “Who is it?”
