I’ll see you tomorrow morning.

” He watched her leave with a heavy heart, and she even thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

+15 BONGO Following her departure, it was as if she had taken all the warmth inside the room with her, causing him to feel cold to his core.

For the subsequent week, Cedrick compliantly ate his medication under Nico’s supervision because of the rules Gwendolyn had previously set.

One afternoon, he was dealing with work remotely in his study.

Two minutes after the alarm clock rang, Gwendolyn video–called him.

“Ceddy, it’s time to take your medicine.

“.

Cedrick concealed his darkened expression and responded gloomily, “All right.

” Before the call ended, Nico attentively came in with warm water and a box of pills.

“Boss, here’s your medicine. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

” “You’re indeed very dedicated to your duties.

” Cedrick glanced at Nico coldly and received the glass of water.

” Cedrick rinsed his mouth.

When he swallowed, a faint bitter taste lingered.

The bitterness in his oral cavity was nothing compared to the anguish in his heart.

Only the thought of Gwendolyn’s unparalleled beauty could invoke a trace of sweetness in his chest.

He sat back in his office chair and sighed softly.

“Do you have a cigarette?” Nico was taken aback.

“Didn’t Ms. Harris forbid you from smoking?” Cedrick didn’t respond and merely held out his hand.

Nico pulled a pack of cigarettes he had just bought that morning from his pocket.

They were so expensive that even he felt reluctant to smoke them.

“Boss, I’ll need to be reimbursed!” Cedrick looked up halfheartedly and murmured in agreement.

Nico opened the pack, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to Cedrick.

However, he hesitated midway.

“If you continue to babble, you’ll be in trouble right now.

” Nico abandoned all hesitation and immediately handed the cigarette over.

+15 Bonus and I’ll be in trouble He reckoned since Cedrick was only puffing one cigarette, Gwendolyn wouldn’t realize anything, so it shouldn’t be such a big deal.

Besides, Nico understood Cedrick.

Smoking could alleviate sorrow, and Cedrick needed to do something to relieve his mental stress.

However, to his surprise, Cedrick merely asked for the cigarette to do the simplest thing.
