Chapter 273 Watching Gwendolyn Punish Cedrick
“Yes, I remember.”

Not only did she remember that incident, but she also remembered it like it was yesterday. “I even investigated that incident afterward. Cedrick mentioned that it was something called S40 strong corrosive potion, not sulfuric acid.”
Nico let out a sigh. “Mr. Jenson lied to you because he didn’t want you to worry or feel guilty. It was actually S404 RNA virus.”
S404 RNA virus?
Gwendolyn’s forehead creased with worry, and she tensed up upon hearing that.
Even though she wasn’t a scientist, just from those words alone, she could already guess how much damage it could do to the body.
Nico let out another sigh as he continued, “This virus is really nasty stuff. It spreads very quickly throughout the body, and there is no cure for it at the moment.”
Ten minutes later, Cedrick, who was sitting in the main seat in the conference room, kept checking his watch while listening to a report from one of his subordinates.
Why hasn’t Nico returned with the documents yet?
His face had a look of displeasure that spread a tenseness across the conference room.
Having noticed that Cedrick was in a particularly bad mood, the directors all held their breaths and tried their best to minimize their presence.
Suddenly, a commotion could be heard from outside the door.
“You can’t go in there, Ms. Harris! Mr. Jenson is having a meeting right now!”
The door to the conference room was then forcefully pushed open, and Gwendolyn glared at Cedrick– as she stood there.
As all of Jenson Group knew about her identity, none of the security guards dared lay a finger on her. “I’m sorry, Mr. Jenson. Ms. Harris insisted on barging in…”
The directors all turned to look at Gwendolyn when they heard that.
However, she ignored their gazes and kept her attention focused on Cedrick.
Without even looking at her, Cedrick lifted his cup of coffee and elegantly took a sip before saying coldly, “Whatever it is you have to say can wait until this meeting is over, Ms. Harris. Security, please escort her to my office.
“Understood, Mr. Jenson,” the security guard replied respectfully and got ready to escort Gwendolyn out of there. However, he froze when she shot him an icy–cold glare.
Gwendolyn then made her way past the security guards and walked up to Cedrick as she asked, “Cedrick! Why are you calling me ‘Ms. Harris‘ again?”
She clearly looked upset and sounded like she was about to cry.

Cedrick tensed up and turned to look at her.
He instinctively panicked when he saw her eyes begin to tear up.
“Gwenny? What are you—”

Gwendolyn cut him off by kissing him on his pale lips in front of everyone, much to their surprise.
Everyone in the company had heard about them kissing at the charity gala, but they did not expect to witness such a public display of affection during a meeting.
Since they were inside a conference room with security guards and directors watching, Cedrick stopped himself from being drawn into Gwendolyn’s kiss. That was especially the case since he intended to draw a clear line between them anyway.
Cedrick leaned back against his chair to pull his lips away from hers. His body was exuding an icy–cold aura as he attempted to grab her hands.
“Knock it off! We’re in the conference room of Jenson Group!”
As though Gwendolyn had predicted his move, she quickly and accurately grabbed his hands and pinned them against his chair.
Cedrick struggled with all of his might, but Gwendolyn’s martial arts training made her far too strong for him to break free from.
Gwendolyn arched an eyebrow at Cedrick as she inched closer to him once again. She was unhappy with how cold he had been treating her lately, and she was determined to punish him with an aggressive and forceful kiss, even biting his lips harshly.
Cedrick groaned and winced from the pain while everyone in the conference room stared wide–eyed at them.
Some held their hands over their mouths and gasped in shock, while some swallowed hard in envy. Others covered their faces with their hands in embarrassment and peeked through the gaps between their fingers.
None of them had expected to see their boss get sexually ravaged by his woman like that.
Oh, my goodness! This is so exciting!
Nico pretended to be in a hurry as he rushed into the conference room with a stack of documents in hand.
Instead of freaking out when he saw the intimate scene before him, Nico calmly proceeded to help clear the room by saying, “This meeting will be postponed as Mr. Jenson has some personal matters to take care of. We will inform you all when the meeting will be continued. Would everyone please leave the conference room?”
Although they were reluctant to leave, they did as told and walked out of the conference room in an orderly manner anyway.
In order to give the two even more privacy, Nico made sure to close the windows and doors after everyone had left.
Shangrience
Just like that, the conference room fell into complete silence.

Chapter 273 Watching Gwendolyn Punish Cedrick
The air was filled with intense sexual tension as the kiss continued for quite some time.
Gwendolyn only stopped her punishing kiss when she heard Cedrick sobbing softly.
His pale lips were swollen from the forceful kiss and stained red by Gwendolyn’s lipstick.
She kept his hands in a vice–like grip as she slowly pulled her face away from his.

The way Gwendolyn licked her teeth made her look like a beautiful vampire who was satisfied with her meal.
“It hurts, doesn’t it? That’s what you get for calling me Ms. Harris and Gwendolyn! Let’s see if you’ll dare do it again!”
Despite her fierce tone, there was a pained look in her tear–filled eyes.
Whatever confidence Cedrick had earlier was gone the moment he realized she probably knew his secret. “Y–You found out about it already?” he asked nervously while avoiding her gaze.
“Yeah.”
Her long hair hung loosely over her shoulders as she gently ran her finger over his lips. “Were you planning on keeping it a secret from me forever and finding some quiet spot to die alone?”
Cedrick’s eyelashes fluttered as he responded to her question with another. “Who told you? Was it Nico?”
Gwendolyn shook her head. “No. He wouldn’t tell me anything, so I did some digging on my own and found out about it myself. You underestimate me far too much!”
Cedrick pursed his lips and lowered his gaze without saying a word.
Gwendolyn’s eyes teared up when she recalled what Nico had told her earlier. “Why didn’t you tell me you were infected with such a deadly virus? Are you afraid of me feeling guilty? Or did you think I would feel disgusted and leave you?”
“I’m sorry for being such a burden…”
Gwendolyn’s heart ached with guilt when she heard that. She cradled his face with trembling hands and said, “You’re not a burden to me, silly! I’m the one who’s a burden to you. You wouldn’t have to suffer from this virus if it wasn’t for me, so I’m the one who should be apologizing instead.”
Cedrick felt his heart melt from the heat of her warm tears.
He had a strong urge to pull her into his arms and kiss the tears off her face, but he felt conflicted when he recalled what Charles‘ had told him.
Eventually, he suppressed the urges and said coldly, “Everything I do is out of my own free will. It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to feel bad about it. Also, I don’t need your sympathy, nor do I need you to look after me out of guilt.”
She will get sick and tired of me eventually. I don’t want to keep her bound to my side with guilt, and I most certainly don’t want her to suffer the pain of watching me die.

Gwendolyn’s eyebrows slanted in anger and strong disapproval when she heard that,
“Hey! Do you even listen to yourself, Cedrick? Are you itching for a beating or something?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
