GWENDOLYN

Chapter nine

but since Gwen was not around, it was natural he would worry besides she is the brain of the company.

"I'm sorry si..." before Gwen could finish her statement, Allen cut her off. "Allen" he said and she smiled. "Allen, there was a misunderstanding between Jane and l" she said not wanting to delve into the matter much, however no matter how she tried to keep her voice neutral, she faltered. Allen noticed she was not her usual self so he became worried. "are you fine?" he furrowed his brows and asked. "yea.. yeah" Gwen stammered. "should we go? are you sure you're fine?" he inquired. "yes, yes, I'm fine, how can we go, l just arrived, let's hurry" despite how she wanted to leave her badly, she still had to be considerate bout Allen. Their boss would be angry.

"exactly my thought, she just came. President Morgan is waiting for us, let's not keep him waiting" all of a sudden, an annoying high pitched voice sounded, it was Jane.

That lowlife!! Gwen cursed in her mind but to avoid more problems, she just started walking inside the house. Several luxury cars were parked outside and there was a security check at the gate. Allen senses something was off between Gwen and Jane but said nothing, he just followed.

Inside the banquet hall, there were highly influential people dancing and toasting each other. Gwen walked passed all of them but the minute she set foot in the hall, she attracted a lot of attention. She glowed among other women and people were in awe.

However Gwen ignored all of them and with Jane and Allen, they went to greet the Morgan's. Unfortunately, Dylan was nowhere to be found but this was good thing for Gwen.

The shock on all the Morgan's was evident. Was this not Gwendolyn? They all exchanged a look of disbelief among themselves. "nice to meet you master Morgan" Gwen extended her hand to Dylan's grandfather. Then, he never talked to her but his dislike for her was noticeable.

Irene was in a state of shock. How could Gwen be here? She can't afford a decent job, can she? And how did she get promoted so quickly, it's impossible? Has she been in the country for a long time? No, the man said she came to the country five months ago, how could she have done it then? Questions were dancing in Irene's head.

Allen and Jane looked at Mater Morgan and then at Gwen curiously. "nice to meet you too, you are?" he said immediately he regained himself and shook hands with Gwen. "Gwendolyn Brooks" she replied with a sly smile making her look even more radiant. "l understand you want to discuss business but my grandson is the one in charge, unfortunately he's not here right now" Master Morgan added. "okay then" she smiled politely again and she left with her crew. "I'll be in the bathroom" Gwen said to Allen and Jane after they left before she asked a waiter to show her to the bathroom.

After attending to her business, she washed her hands and started heading back to the ball room.

Damn that Jane! Maybe she should teach her a lesson!! Gwen thought as she walked. All of a sudden, a large hand pulled her into a room. "pls help me".............…...........................................

******************************************

Irene was searching for Dylan in all the rooms, where could he have gone to? she thought. This cannot be happening, Why her,why???

She continued searching all the rooms anxiously and her heart almost jumped out of her heart when she Dylan....and Gwen. No!!!No!!! Her nails dig deeply into her palm and she gritted.

She had put a d**g in Dylan's food, infactshe made it much but not for it all to end like this. Damn Gwen! Damn her!!

She won't give up, there's more. She has more tricks in her sleeves than Gwen could ever imagine. If this is how it must be then so be it, Gwen has crossed the line!!!

*****************************************

The light of dawn seeped into the room. Gwen stirred in the bed only to feel large arms around her. She finally became alert, and remembered what happened. She angrily hit the man caging her but he didn't bulge. "DYLAN MORGAN!!!!" she shouted and that was when the man opened his eyes, he too was surprised with the scene he saw. "what are you doing here" his voice was cold and emotionless especially dangerous. Gwen suddenly raised her hands and slapped him across the face. How dare him ask her such a question and act confused when he grabbed her? . Does she look like a plaything to him?

For a period of time, everywhere was eerily quiet and not even the sound of a falling needle could be heard. The atmosphere of the room dropped to several degrees.

But at that same time, the door was unlocked and several reporters were holding up their cameras. Luckily, the two were covered with a blanket.

"Mr Morgan, what's going on here?" "what's this, is this not the beautiful woman at the banquet yesterday?" "did she seduce Mr Morgan?" "l thought l heard a slap? did Mr Morgan hit a woman?" "oh, l know her, she's the secretary and also the assistant of Mr Allen from Quest company" The reporters bombarded them with questions.

Gwen was stunned, she was also very scared and embarrassed. Dylan reached for his phone and called assistant Woods. Without wasting much time, he took care of the issue but some people had published something's already. Gwens phone buzzed with notifications and when she checked them, they were all about her and Dylan.

"get everything down" Dylan ordered and assistant Woods bowed and left.

He was really shocked when he saw his boss in this situation but he simply obeyed.

When every where was quiet again, he turned to his side only to see a crying figure, she hasn't even changed one bit, he thought.

"stop crying " he said sternly.
