She didn’t request to get her seat changed in the end because she was afraid of troubling the teacher. Since Suzy was young, she had always been afraid of inconveniencing others. Since her teachers had taken good care of her in school, Suzy felt she shouldn’t be demanding."Does this include you?" Alec asked, shifting his gaze to her face.Suzy shook her head repeatedly. "Not me. In junior high, besides attending classes, I had to work part-time in the morning and do night shifts at an internet café after evening study sessions. My schedule was even tighter than it is now!"Thinking back, maybe that's why her homeroom teacher felt comfortable assigning her to sit next to Liam! Otherwise, any other girl would probably have been too distracted to focus on studying."What? How old were you back in junior high?" "I gotta earn a living, no matter how old I am." Suzy shrugged. When it came to the hardships of the past, she was just grateful that she had persevered through them, rather t
Soon, Liam also spotted Suzy and began striding towards her with long strides.As he drew closer, Suzy felt an urge to turn and run away.No one accompanied him to back to the country, leaving him all alone.When Liam reached Suzy, he stood still, his presence overwhelming her almost to the point of suffocation.Suzy noticed him tightly pressing his thin lips together, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed. The white bandage on his handsome face still stood out, while he appeared somewhat displeased as if pondering how to scold her.Suzy instinctively took his luggage, her face stiff, unsure of what to say first.In the end, it was Liam who sighed lightly and spoke up."Why won't you take the initiative to call me when I didn’t contact you?"Suzy hadn't expected him to say this. She was stunned, unable to utter a word."Forget it, give me the car keys." Liam reached out his hand towards her, his tall figure completely blocking the light that should have fallen on her."Huh?"“Do you pl
"What?" Suzy still looked perplexed, completely out of the loop.To be honest, she even wondered if Liam had hit his head during the accident because he was saying things she couldn't understand."I’ll give you some more time. Let's head back to the hotel," Liam replied, his words laden with a sense of resignation.Suzy blinked, noticing his hesitation. Finally, mustering her courage, she asked directly, "Mr. Park, are you... planning to terminate the contract? You can tell me frankly; I won't object."She was absolutely willing to step aside for him and Sophia!Liam rubbed his brow, feeling the weight of uncertainty.Clive was right; he didn't know how he got himself into this mess.Even he couldn't fathom why he insisted on tasting this bitterness.…The car arrived at the hotel.Alec and several assistants were already there to greet them.Seeing Liam stepping out from the driver's seat, they were quite surprised."Suzy, weren't you supposed to... pick up Mr. Park?" How did Liam e
“Argh…”Suzy was lost in thought and ended up pressing too hard while putting on the medicine.Instead of aiding the healing process, she inadvertently caused Liam's nearly healed wound to bleed again!"You're bleeding! I'll go find a doctor for you!"Suzy was about to rush off in panic, but Liam quickly grasped her wrist and pulled her close with his other arm."I'm fine.""You're not fine! Your wound has reopened! I'm so sorry, so sorry... It wasn't on purpose!" She whirled around frantically, like a child who had done something wrong.Liam smiled helplessly, always at a loss when it came to her."It's just a small wound, don't worry.""But I—""Haven't you had dinner yet? I'll have the hotel send something up." He gently interrupted her, then suddenly coughed a bit awkwardly. "You should take a shower first."Suddenly, Suzy realized their close proximity could easily lead to... complications. And indeed, she noticed that his private part had turned hard..."Okay! I, I'll take a sh
They both lay in bed, with her feeling his large hand on her waist and listening to his steady breathing.Did this mean that the contract was still in effect?Tossing and turning for almost the entire night, Suzy finally drifted off to sleep, exhausted.The next day when she woke up, the man beside her was gone.Suzy walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas, and the breakfast left by Liam in the dining room seemed to suggest that the unpleasantness between them had never happened!Suddenly, her phone, which was placed beside the bed, rang.She hurried over to check, and it was Wendy."Did you see the message I sent you yesterday?" "Ah... I was too busy yesterday. Lots of things came up on the business trip.""I'm asking if the man you mentioned is Mr. Park." Wendy had been waiting for her reply the whole time!Suzy felt a pang of anxiety, "You're quite daring to think that.""So, it's not Mr. Park then?" Wendy visibly relaxed."You really scared me! I thought you didn't reply because
Below the building of Park Group in Northorn City.Sophia's wound hadn't been healing well because she went on a business trip shortly after her surgery.As a result, Clive immediately took her to the hospital for a dressing change and thorough examination after picking her up from the airport. They then returned to the office once it was confirmed that there were no major issues."Park Group won't go bankrupt just because you’re away for a day," Clive couldn't help but tease as he saw her rushing back to the office.Sophia smiled. "Liam established numerous connections with overseas executives during this trip. “They place high value on the strict adherence to contracts, and they also prioritize evaluating the legal department's capabilities during due diligence. I can't prevent him from pursuing these opportunities.""Does Park Group still need recognition from overseas partners for its current achievements?""Those who are eager to collaborate naturally don't need to, but if we enc
When the thick stack of brown paper bags was handed to her, Suzy had already sensed that she would need to visit the ophthalmologist upon returning to back to the country."You must check carefully, don't make any mistakes! If I have time after I finish my work, I might be able to help you double-check. If not, you'll have to submit this directly." "I understand."Suzy took a deep breath, put on her glasses, and began cross-checking the market research data from the first section.She remained focused for several hours, with her head down.Only when Liam, Alec, and their team concluded their meeting and arrived at her room did she finally get a brief break.Suddenly, several unfamiliar colleagues entered Suzy's room, making her feel a bit uneasy. She was also worried that sharp-eyed individuals might notice she hadn't slept over last night.But Liam seemed completely unconcerned about such matters. He walked over to her directly, his gaze falling on the pile of documents."Just do you
Liam came out after showering and saw her looking perplexed.He walked over, using a towel to dry his still-dripping hair."Could you go to my room and get the medicine from the table? The room password is 0825.” Hearing his voice, Suzy quickly nodded, "Sure, Mr. Park."Since the Park Group had invested in this hotel, Liam had his own exclusive suite, also known as the Presidential Suite, which was not open for rental to other guests. Naturally, he personally set the password for it.As Suzy went to fetch the medicine, she couldn't help but think.The fact that his password hadn't changed meant Liam's feelings towards Sophia probably hadn't changed either. Most likely, they had just had another disagreement!Although... her plan to terminate the contract might have fallen through, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in her heart.Suzy was getting confused.On one hand, she wanted to leave Liam and Sophia's complicated relationship world as soon as possible and no longer be an
