Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 42

Olivier walked out of the kitchen, having just washed his hands when he heard the doorbell. Walking straight to the door, he opened it.

"Boss..."

Gwenda heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Otto.

"What you asked for has been done, they've left. Have you finished your business? Mr. Miller and the others are still waiting for you downstairs," Otto said.

They originally came to the hotel to attend a banquet. Not only was Olivier late to the event, but he also sent him a text asking him to get some guys to get rid of the group of men that were near his room door.

It was truly baffling.

"Got it."

Olivier answered and closed the door.

Having just walked over, Gwenda only heard the last sentence. Looking at Olivier, she said, "If you're busy, you don't have to worry about me."

"Please accompany me."

With that, Olivier took her hand into his in a natural manner.

Gwenda struggled and tried to refuse him.

"I just helped you earlier. Shouldn't you return the favour?"

Olivier asked with a smirk as he looked at her.

Gwenda was puzzled. "What am I supposed to help you with?"

"To get unnecessary people off my back!"

"But I don't drink."

"You don't have to drink."

As he said that, Olivier opened the door and led her out of the room.

......

In the private room of the restaurant downstairs, the CEOs of several companies were tired and dull-faced due to Olivier's absence.

...

They sought out Olivier today because they wanted to enter a business partnership with him.

Everything was ready. Even the women were on standby.

Who knew that Olivier would end up missing? That made them really anxious.

"Why is Mr. Petit gone for so long? Did something happen?"

"Does anyone know where Mr. Petit is?"

After a round of questioning, no one knew where Olivier had gone off to.

Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, thinking that Olivier had left, the door to the private room opened all of a sudden.

When they saw that it was Olivier, everyone was overjoyed.

But when they saw Gwenda behind him in the next second, everyone at the dining table was shocked.

Several of the CEOs who had prepared beautiful escorts to please Olivier looked at each other with disappointment in their eyes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Something came up at the very last minute,"

Olivier said calmly as he led Gwenda to the head of the table.

There was a woman sitting in one of the seats there. Olivier stopped before the table and gazed silently at the woman, who did not react.

The escorts also worked very hard in order to get the chance to sleep with Olivier.

After a long period of drinking, it was clear that everyone was quite drunk.

Holding her glass of wine, Snow gently swirled it around in the glass, watching Olivier and Gwenda who had some sort of unspoken distance between them. She began to put her thoughts into action.

With her glass of wine in hand, she rose up and got between the two, her hand resting upon the armrest of one of the chairs as she said coquettishly, "Mr. Petit, a toast to you."

Olivier glanced at the glass of wine in her hand and smiled. "Apologies, my girlfriend doesn't quite approve of drinking."

"Girlfriend?" Snow thought in disbelief as her smile became frozen.

Staring at Gwenda, a hint of hatred flickered through her eyes as she said, "Oh, Miss Evans is quite strict with her regulations then! What does one drink then when coming out for a meal? Fruit juice?"

Olivier's eyes gleamed with something as he looked at Gwenda and asked softly, "Is fruit juice okay?"

...

Gwenda was stunned, thinking, "Why the hell are you asking me?!"

With this, everyone at the dining table was now staring at Gwenda.

Bracing herself, Gwenda looked at the half smile on Olivier's face and said through clenched teeth, "Of— of course."

"Alright."

She did not expect Olivier to really pick up a glass of fruit juice and take a sip.

There was an uproar from the crowd as everyone began to cast surveying looks at Gwenda.

Snow's hand tightened a little around the stem of her glass as she could only return to her seat with resentful disappointment. All the while, her spiteful stare never once left Gwenda.

Gwenda felt that she was really innocent of whatever had happened. But she could not bear it anymore after being stared at by so many people.
