Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

"Make it up to you?"

Gwenda pursed her lips. "Why should I make it up to you?"

"You said you wanted to treat me to a meal, but it turns out that your cousin wanted to meet me. You lied to me. So, you have to make it up to me."

Well, when he put it like that... it seemed that she was indeed in the wrong.

"Fine, then. How would you like me to make it up to you?"

Gwenda accommodated his request.

"Well..."

Olivier's interest was piqued, and a faint smile spread across his lips. "I have to think about it carefully."

Gwenda said nothing though she had a bad feeling about it.

"Don't worry, it's not going to be something that you can't afford."

Olivier gave her a meaningful look. When the traffic light finally turned green, he started driving once more.

Gwenda glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and touched the spot on her cheek where Olivier had caressed her before. Her heart began to pound.

Finally, the car arrived at the restaurant.

Gwenda led Olivier into the booked private room.

Upon opening the door, August had already arrived.

"August."

Gwenda went up to him.

August stood up and looked at the man who came in behind her.

Gwenda stood to one side and introduced them to each other. "Although you've met before, I'd still like to make a formal introduction. Mr. Petit, this is my cousin, August Reed."

"Hello."

August held out his hand, and locked eyes with Olivier, who noticed that August and Gwenda's eyes share similarities. He also noted the probing gaze that came from August.

"This is Mr. Petit, Olivier Petit."

"Hello."

Olivier smiled faintly and shook August's hand.

"Well, we're all here now. Shall we sit?"

Gwenda tried her best to remain calm, though her sweaty palms already signalled her nervousness.

However, these two men had been through similar situations plenty of times and were much calmer than her.

After they sat, August began to talk with assurance without needing Gwenda to bring up the topic.

Olivier did not show any form of resistance either. He responded calmly and was polite.

Before the meal started, Gwenda had still been nervous for fear that they would fight again.

She did not think that they would have such rapport, and it looked as if she was the one who was here for a free meal.

She was unable to interrupt their conversation.

But that was fine too. She could eat in peace and did not have to worry about anything else.

During the conversation, the waiter served the last dish and a bottle of what looked to be some sort of drink.

Having been thirsty after eating, Gwenda glanced at it briefly, poured herself some, and took a drink.

It was quite sweet and rather delicious.

Gwenda continued her meal with satisfaction.

At this moment, both men had not noticed that she had become flushed from drinking that beverage.

"Mr. Petit, if we could work together with you when our new product launches, we would certainly achieve great effectiveness from it. So, I ask that you give this matter some serious consideration."

August kept the conversation within business parameters and did not use Gwenda's connection with Olivier to get help from the man in question.

Olivier nodded. He had a good impression of August and was much more courteous than ever. "Don't worry, Mr. Reed. I'll get my employees to verify it when I get back. As for the rest, we'll have to go through procedures."

"Of course."

August had no objection to this. He raised his glass and clinked it with Olivier's.

Olivier took a sip of wine and finally decided to look over to Gwenda.

At this time, Gwenda was dizzy and she had the glass of drink in her hand. There was a faraway look on her face and her cheeks were flushed, a strange smile on her face.

Olivier immediately sensed that something was wrong. Watching her worriedly, he asked, "Gwenda, are you alright?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
