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
"I can't, but Mr. Palmer can?" Liam furrowed his thick brows, his dark eyes unwilling to miss any subtle change in her emotions.After a few seconds of contemplation, she didn't respond directly, but instead countered, "This time, my mother insisted I bring my boyfriend to meet her, or else she wouldn't proceed with the surgery. "I brought Jeffrey along, thinking it would be enough. But then, out of the blue, my mother insisted that Jeffrey's parents join us in the hospital room, and they had to come right away! If I had brought you instead, could your parents have come?"Liam was speechless because clearly, the answer was no.Both Liam and Suzy were well aware of it.After all, his parents had a noble status."So, do you understand?" Suzy cautiously asked.However, Liam remained silent.He tightened his lips, his expression growing tense as he quickly dressed without bothering with the medicine, then promptly left the room!Suzy watched his retreating figure, sighing softly in the en
Suzy hadn't replied yet when Wendy quickly sent another message."I sense something's wrong with you, Suzy. Aren't I your closest friend?""Of course you are."“Then tell me, who's this guy you've been troubled by? Don't play innocent; your recent actions make it pretty clear you've got a crush.”A crush? She had a crush on Liam?However, Suzy's initial reaction was, would she dare to have a crush on him?She felt like whenever she looked at Liam, it was akin to a devotee's reverence towards a deity; how could she dare to entertain romantic thoughts?"I'm just interested in how guys act in relationships, don't take it so personally."Wendy persisted, "I knew you wouldn't admit it. Anyway, let me remind you, don’t get too involved with men, and don't lose yourself because they show you temporary tenderness and care! “You might think the guy is being nice to you, but he might treat another girl better! Those men who are overly nice to you from the start usually have ulterior motives, it
His expression turned cold as he replied, "It's inconvenient for you to take care of my mom. I'll send someone over to replace you. Thank you for your hard work.""You should know Mrs. Park’s depression is severe. I just want her to be happy." Sophia's words brought back memories for Liam of the year his mother tried to commit suicide in the bathroom, blood splattered everywhere, a vivid and shocking scene...It all started because he refused to follow his family's wishes and get engaged to Sophia.As his mother's severe depression worsened, her grip on everything tightened with each passing day. Even minor setbacks would prompt thoughts of suicide.Last time, she had taken half a bottle of sleeping pills just because the maid who had been taking care of her wanted to resign.The doctor said she was traumatized from being kidnapped and her psyche was fragile. The only treatment was to provide a peaceful environment and comply with her wishes as much as possible.Liam's hand hovered ov
Liam left first because he needed to attend a video conference with the executives after dinner.Once they were gone, Suzy returned to her room to tackle the documents.She had decided not to dwell on things she couldn't understand. She shouldn’t be wasting time! Since Liam was now willing to promote her, and this could be her only chance to climb the ladder quickly in her life, she resolved to work hard and not disappoint his expectations.With her head down, several more hours passed.At one in the morning, as Suzy stretched her numb wrists, there came a sudden knock on the door!Who could it be at this late hour?She approached cautiously and glanced through the peephole.... It was Liam.Suzy hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door, and she could already smell the alcohol on him.Before she could say anything, Liam had already stepped into the bathroom, clearly unable to tolerate the smell of alcohol on himself. He couldn’t avoid drinking at social events.Suzy underst
