Chapter 241 Sheer Worry For His Employer

Nico had his back to Gwendolyn. He did not turn around immediately but surreptitiously exchanged a look with Cedrick.

Gwendolyn wore a blank expression and look entirely bewildered.

She had overheard the two men’s conversation from afar when she came upstairs after concluding her phone call. Due to the distance, however, she did not manage to make out everything, merely catching a somewhat unfamiliar keyword.

“Well?”

Receiving no response from either man, she alternated her gaze between them both.

Nico whirled around. Seeing that her expression seemed genuinely calm, he reckoned that she did not hear much and fibbed with a smile, “A suppressant is a type of drug found in laboratories. But Mr. Jenson and I were discussing a Federal Bureau of Investigation’s confidential mission just now, so I might not be able to disclose much to you, Ms. Gwendolyn.”

“Really?” Gwendolyn cast her gaze at Cedrick, tilting her head a fraction.

Cedrick nodded without any change in expression. “You want to know, Gwenny? If you really want to know, I don’t mind telling you.”

Gwendolyn pondered for a moment. “Never mind. Since it’s confidential, you’d best not tell me about it. I’m not that interested in knowing anyway.”

Nico and Cedrick furtively breathed a sigh of relief at that.

“I’ll leave you two to talk, then, Ms. Gwendolyn. Please excuse me.”

Gwendolyn dipped her head in acknowledgment. Once Nico left, she sat down on the edge of Cedrick’s bed and checked his chest wound. After two days, it had healed significantly.

In truth, she had not been mad at him for real for the past two days. She had merely used it as an excuse to sleep in a different room for fear that he would misbehave at night and employ everything in his arsenal to entice her into being intimate with him.

I can’t touch him to ensure that he recovers as soon as possible! But why are the hickeys on him still so distinct? How strange.

A frown marred her countenance. Unbidden, she swung her gaze at Cedrick, only to notice the shifty and peculiar look in his eyes.

“It’s been a few days. Why haven’t the hickeys on you faded at all? Did you pinch yourself for the effect?”

“Of course not! How could I possibly do such a strange thing? But it was the first time you initiated things. Isn’t it nice to have them as a token of remembrance?” Cedrick denied it to the bitter end.

Gwendolyn’s brows furrowed, making it evident that she was still skeptical.

“I want to have a shower, Gwenny.”

Interrupting her musings, Cedrick stared at her with unfathomable ebony eyes that glinted slightly.

Without even thinking about it, Gwendolyn objected, “No way! Your wound hasn’t healed completely, so it can’t come into contact with water. How about I have Nico come in to help wipe you down?”

Despondency swamped Cedrick, and he gave Gwendolyn an accusatory look. “You said you’re the only person who can see me unclothed henceforth. Yet, you want to have Nico come and sully me?”

Aw, look at his forlorn expression! Gwendolyn caressed his handsome face.

Out of the blue, a flash of craftiness flittered across her crystalline eyes that sparkled like stars. Her ruby-red lips curved into a seductive arc.

She slowly leaned close to the man, her soft voice incredibly mesmerizing. “I have no issue about serving you, Ceddy. But before that, I have a surprise for you. You’ll definitely like it.”

Cedrick’s eyes lit up, and his heart skipped a beat. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“After I’ve given you the surprise, your body will be sticky. At that time, I’ll help to wipe you down. Then, I don’t have to do it twice,” Gwendolyn added.

Stifling the anticipation brimming in his eyes, Cedrick replied calmly, “Okay.”

“Wait for a moment, then. I’m going to get something from the adjacent room.”

Get something?

Cedrick vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

By then, Gwendolyn had already raced to the adjacent bedroom like lightning before trotting back.

When she returned again, she had her hands behind her with a mysterious expression on her face.

Slipping off her shoes, she climbed into bed and slowly straddled him, resting her knees against the mattress.

She started unfastening the remaining buttons on his shirt patiently with her fair fingers, one after another.

While doing that, her cool fingers would inadvertently brush against his warm muscles every so often.

It felt like she was deliberately teasing him, making him tremble violently. At the same time, his breathing sped up.

This is the exact same thing that happened at the hospital that day. Has she finally seen the light and decided to be intimate with me again?

Alas, before he could bask in delight, he saw her whipping out a dark green jar she had hidden behind her back. As soon as she removed the lid, a faint aroma of medicine wafted into the air.

He was promptly at a loss.

Holding his puzzled gaze, Gwendolyn dug out a blob of dark brown salve with a finger. Rubbing it between her palms until it had melted and warmed, she gently applied it to the black and blue marks on the man’s body.

“This is the salve I especially got from the doctor yesterday, Ceddy. It’s good for blood circulation and removing blood stasis, helping to speed up the fading of bruises. The marks on your body will disappear tomorrow. Are you glad?”

She sounded exceedingly impish.

Her twinkling limpid eyes emanated a determination to destroy the evidence completely.

I’ll never allow anyone else to learn about the bountiful achievement I left due to an impulsive move at the hospital that day!

Cedrick was rendered speechless.

Damn it! I really shouldn’t have had high hopes earlier!

Gwendolyn noticed the utter misery in his eyes, and her curiosity was piqued. “Why aren’t you happy, Ceddy? Do you not like this surprise?”

This is my first time giving someone a massage!

Inhaling deeply, Cedrick clenched his jaw and hissed through gritted teeth, “I do.”

Elated, Gwendolyn put even more effort into the massage with the techniques she had learned from the internet yesterday. Hehe, he’ll be my first lab rat!

“Stay still, Ceddy. Behave. I’ll try my best to be gentle!”

Cedrick cocked his head to the side and gazed out the window. He remained motionless, allowing her to do as she pleased to him.

His lips were pressed together in a thin line, and his expression was frightfully gloomy.

“Does it hurt? Do you need me to be gentler? Oh, never mind. I’d best put some strength into it. Just put up with it for a bit. Your muscles feel great. Does it feel good, Ceddy? Am I skilled or what? Quick, compliment me!”

Words eluded Cedrick.

“Yes, you’re really skilled!”

Gwendolyn had forgotten to close the bedroom door all the way when she came into the room. As such, the door was ajar.

Thanks to her loud volume, Nico, who happened to be going up the stairs, overheard the entire conversation.

Cedrick’s final utterance that was forced through gritted teeth, especially, sounded very much suggestive.

Huh? Are they doing the horizontal exercise in there?

His jaw dropped.

Am I listening to a live broadcast of Boss and Ms. Gwendolyn’s lovemaking? Damn it! My ears are bleeding! How could he do something so vigorous again when he had just behaved for two days? Ms. Gwendolyn isn’t only insane, but she’s heartless and inconsiderate. Verily, she’s a monster!

Sheer worry for his employer’s life inundated him. He stood on the staircase, beyond anxious.

No, I must do something even if he’ll be mad later and deduct my salary!

He rubbed his hands and wracked his brain for a while.

All of a sudden, an idea popped into his mind.

He quietly crept upstairs and stopped in the corridor near the room before he started clapping his hands loudly and rhythmically.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Needless to say, the couple in the room heard him clapping away.

Gwendolyn peeked out the door, but she saw no one. Leaning close to Cedrick, she whispered, “What is Nico doing? He’s clapping really enthusiastically. Is he out of his mind? As his boss, you should pay more attention to your subordinates’ mental health, okay?”

Cedrick said nothing, but his face was as black as thunder.

He understood that the clapping was referring to intimate relations.

Furthermore, Nico was using their secret code, reiterating that he must restrain himself.
