Chapter 1051 Being Betrayed
Despite Gideon’s strong refusal, Lena still fetched iodine to disinfect his wound.
The dim light illuminated Lena’s profile as she carefully and earnestly cleaned Gideon’s wound. Gideon suddenly felt warm.
Once again, he realized clearly that the woman before him would be his future wife, the mother of his child, and a lifelong partner.
“What are you looking at?” After finishing the wound care, Lena lifted her head and saw Gideon gazing at her with an incredibly tender look.
Gideon smiled with indulgence towards her, “Although the timing is not right and the occasion is not grand enough, I still want to say it out loud. If one day you decide to get married, could you consider me first?”
Lena’s movements paused for a moment as she lowered her eyes.
Just as Gideon thought she would reject him, Lena spoke softly. “Okay.”
Gideon slightly widened his eyes. Clearly, he didn’t expect Lena to agree.
Lena gave him a reproachful look. “What? Do you have to hear me reject you?”
Unable to contain himself, Gideon burst into laughter. He stepped forward, tightly embracing Lena.
“Does this mean you’re slowly accepting me?”
He had prepared himself for a long process of letting her accept him gradually, but unexpectedly, he was not the only one who was putting in an effort. Lena was also trying to accept him.
Embraced in his warm arms, Lena couldn’t help but smile.
In the reflection of the lamplight, their intertwined shadows seemed inseparable.
After two days of rest at home, Lena returned to the company.
She was now the design director of a well-known design firm. Declining an invitation from Charlotte, she insisted on joining this company to see what she could achieve without the influence of her relationship with Rumba and Charlotte.
Fortunately, not only did the company’s chairman appreciate her, but other senior executives also regarded her highly, quickly promoting her to the position of design director.
Given Lena’s qualifications, such a promotion wasn’t extraordinary.
Unfortunately, in a world where envy was rampant, many people believed they were the best.
Lena never argued with them, only proving herself through her abilities.
The commotion caused by her fainting at the company that day was significant, and it wasn’t long before news about her pregnancy spread.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Lena calmly walked through the crowd and into her office.
Her assistant, Debra Hayes, quickly followed.
As soon as she saw Lena, Debra said anxiously, “Ms. Jenkins, I really didn’t know…”
Lena glanced at her, and Debra stopped her words.
“How many years have you been my assistant?”
Lena’s tone was remarkably indifferent, as if she were already aware of all the ins and outs behind the situation. Debra instinctively clenched her fists.
“It has been three years,” Debra answered with her head bowed.
Lena’s fingers slid lightly on the wooden desk. It was her usual gesture when deep in thought.
“I remember last year, when your mother was sick, I specifically gave you a month off. At that time, you cried and said you would do your best to repay me.” Lena’s gaze rested lightly on Debra, but it felt like a sharp knife, making her whole body ache.
