GWENDOLYN

CHAPTER EIGHT

Meanwhile in the Morgan's family mansion, a banquet was being held to celebrate the return of the matriarch from America.

The house was vibrantly decorated and the dishes filled the house with a rich aroma. People were clinking their glass of drinks and dancing creating a cozy atmosphere.

"welcome home grandma" Hera went to hug the matriarch. She was the last daughter of the Morgan head family.

"thanks darling " the woman replied without a smile. "welcome home grandma" Irene wanted to hug her but the woman shifted backwards a little.

That stung in Irene's heart, does this family not just like her at all. The other family members went ahead to greet the matriarch and she accepted their hugs.

Very soon, it was dinner time, the whole family were present at the dining and were eating.

"that reminds me mom, we just finalized Hera's engagement and we're planning the wedding currently" Hugo said in between the meal. "that's a good news, the Williams family are very influential, my granddaughter deserves the best" the matriarch smiled for the first time since she came home. "grandma if there's nothing more, I'll be heading home" Dylan got up ready to leave the house. "where are you going to, the party just began, sit" Mila, his mother said to him.

Dylan however did not want to sit because he knew they were all about to tell him about marrying. "let him be Mila. Dylan, I hope you know the branch family are alive" she said and continued eating.

Dylan nodded expressionless and was about to go but this time, Irene stopped him. "you..you should stay a little longer "she stuttered as she said.

As Gwen was dressing up, she cursed the company's informat. The annoying woman had always been jealous of her since the CEOs PA showed interest in her. That asparagus! She thought she would sleep well when she comes back home but that woman has proven to be the witch in her life. How would they have such an important event to attend to and she hid it from her only to tell her today!

"thank you so much mom for coming, l would have brought Angel over but she was asleep already " Gwen kissed Anna's cheeks as she apologized. She really did not want to stress her mother. "come on, now don't say such things, l love you and my granddaughter very much" Anna smiled at Gwen. "that informat needs to be sacked, she's very inefficient " Anna queried. "just forget about her, she's not important " Gwen said. "okay dear, good luck by the way, you look amazing" Gwen smiled widely when she heard her mother's compliment and hugged her. "thanks mom" she said.

Gwen was on a black sleeveless fitted gown with a slit from the thigh downwards showing her fair legs. Her tiny waist was visible and her hourglass figure was outstanding.

The dress was decorated with sequins and she styled her hair in a sleek high ponytail giving her an highschool girl look. She didn't apply make up but was already stunning enough. She grabbed her bag and set off.

Jane, the informat sent Gwen the address as soon as Gwen stepped outside the house.Gwen stopped a taxi and got in. On the road, she was a little tensed up until she got to the venue.

The cold breeze hit her skin immediately she got off the car but that didn't really bother her. Earlier she had not paid attention to the address she was given but now, her sense seemed to have come back. She could not move, this house is where she had suffered greatly and lost everything. How can this be happening, she choked while crying.

Without much thinking, she wiped her tears and turned back to stop a taxi and go home, she wasn't ready for all this now but luck said otherwise. The CEOs personal assistant had seen her, he quickly ran up to her just as she was about to call a taxi. "Gwen" she turned only to see Allen. "where have you been, why were you late?" he asked gasping for breath. He was exhausted because he was the one sent by the CEO to represent the company along with his assistant, Gwen.
