Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 453

There was still a banquet to attend after the awards ceremony was over.

It was good for Gwendolyn to participate in this for the benefit of her future career.

Sophia had left under Tiffany's urging. Tiffany pointed out that Sophia could not be seen together with Gwendolyn, or people would find out that Gwendolyn was her daughter.

Sophia did not want to affect Gwendolyn's career with her current status, so she did not attend the banquet and chose to leave the venue right away.

When Gwendolyn returned to her seat, she asked, “Where's Ms. Sanders?”

Gwendolyn noticed that Sophia's seat was vacant. She had assumed that the latter would be attending the banquet too.

“She has something to attend to, so she went home early,” said Tiffany. She then scanned the venue. “Gwen, Patrick is not the type to attend events like this. However, he suddenly showed up this year as an award presenter. Do you know why?”

Does he know that Sophia is here?

Gwendolyn naturally knew why. He was here to see her, after all. However, Gwendolyn did not dare tell Tiffany the truth.

“Well, I used to work at Patrick's company. I also know that he has projects to handle here. Maybe he's been involved in fashion-related projects recently and decided to attend the ceremony too?”

Despite the vague explanation, even Gwendolyn could tell that she was grasping at straws.

However, she just wanted to keep herself out of the discussion.

Tiffany merely nodded and said, “Oh, I see.”

She narrowed her eyes slightly, hoping that it was not because the Lowen family knew her sister was there.

The banquet was held in a ballroom next door. The attendees consisted mostly of the winners as well as celebrities, members of the upper class, and some of the big names in fashion.

Linette walked beside Gwendolyn and saw that Tiffany was surrounded by various celebrities. It was clear that she was held in high esteem in the fashion industry. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Gwen, you'll become a renowned designer just like Tiffany in the future. When that happens, don't forget about me!”

Gwendolyn held a wineglass in her hand, observing the beautifully decorated ballroom. Many people she had seen on television and in magazines were actually in front of her.

Some of them would occasionally drop by to speak to Gwendolyn and clink glasses. Others even exchanged contact information with her.

In a short while, she met many people. Some were also exceptionally famous designers and models.

Gwendolyn was just feeling happy when she heard Linette say that. She turned to face Linette with a smile.

“By the time I become a famous designer, I think you'll be an entrepreneur. When that happens, we'll take care of each other.”

Having said this, they both burst out laughing.

Most rookies behaved like this. They admired successful people and secretly fantasized about achieving success in the future.

Linette dragged Gwendolyn to the dining area. Since Linette was a foodie, she had absolutely no resistance toward good food.

Linette reminded Gwendolyn of her daughter.

Juliette was like this as well. When the choice came down to food or her mother, Juliette could easily throw Gwendolyn under the bus.

Gwendolyn did not have much of an appetite. All she did was pick up an entrée and sit down next to Linette to keep her company.

Linette had taken a lot of food and kept praising it while she ate.

“It's delicious! Really, it is!”

Gwendolyn laughed. She then took a bite of her canapé, marveling at how refreshing it tasted.

At that moment, a tall figure walked toward her and reached out to her.

“Come with me, Gwen.”

Linette's mouth was stuffed with food. When her gaze landed on the mysterious man's face, she was shocked to see Patrick's handsome visage. Her eyes widened like saucers.

Linette pointed at him, wishing to speak, but her mouth was so full of food that she could not say anything.

Linette could not stop gesturing at him. Gwendolyn stretched out her arm and let Patrick hold her before turning to Linette.

“I think I'll head back first, Linette,” said Gwendolyn. “Do inform Tiffany that I've gone back to the hotel, but you're not to mention who I left with. Do you understand?”

Linette nodded in understanding. She only managed to speak after swallowing and hurriedly taking a sip of juice.

“Patrick Lowen, scion of the most powerful family in Avenport? That handsome and wealthy sugar daddy? Goodness, Gwen! Are you actually dating him?”
