A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 17: Liam’s Pause Button
"Alright."It was uncertain whether he was drunk or not. Nevertheless, he managed to lift her and carry her to the bedroom with ease. However, if he wasn't drunk, this impulsive behavior from the young man before her was a far cry from Liam's usual composed and almost indifferent demeanor.Suzy felt like she had been drinking, her surroundings spinning, and time stretching endlessly. Even the lights on the ceiling seemed to sway along with her disorientation. Eventually, she couldn't bear it any longer and shifted her gaze to the tattoo on his collarbone, sinking her teeth into it with determination.Liam stopped moving when he felt the pain."I'm sorry, I...”"Mr. Park, can today be the last time, please?" Her voice was husky, with a hint of a pleading, coquettish tone.Liam didn't answer, but after this round, he got up and headed to the bathroom.Suzy thought to herself that she had found Liam's pause button. She had bitten the tattoo just now in desperation to remind him to thin
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 18: It's Working Hours Now
Suzy slept for only three hours that night. The next day when she woke up, Liam had already left. The breakfast he had prepared was sitting on the dining table, still steaming hot, with a note placed beside it."I'm on a business trip. I will be back next week." Suzy looked at the note, then at the breakfast on the table. She couldn't reconcile the caring Liam she had encountered in private with the cold and distant persona she knew from the office!At home, he could be described as gentle. Even last night, despite his excessive demands, his actions were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her. If it weren't for that string of tattoos, she would almost have the illusion that Liam had feelings for her!All of a sudden, Suzy began to feel jealous towards the woman Liam had held in his heart for so long, or at least, that's how she felt at that moment.Upon arriving at the office, Suzy immediately began working on the loan application after the morning meeting.Around noon, Desm
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 19: Only Worthy of Being a Substitute
With his stern reminder, Suzy snapped back to reality.Yes, why would she assume that Liam would favor her loan application just because they had been intimate? She had to remember that he paid for her services, and involving emotions in a monetary transaction was crossing the line."I'm sorry, Mr. Park, for bothering you."Suzy didn't wait for him to respond any further and quickly hung up. The words "overestimating oneself" stung as if she had been slapped four times across the face.Outside, Desmond had received the notification as well, and he stormed into her office, his temper flaring."I told you it wouldn't work, right? Suzy, who do you think you are? You asked me to trust you, and I did. What now?!"Hearing his reprimand, Wendy hurriedly rushed over, clutching documents and stood in front of Suzy, speaking up on her behalf. "Mr. Shaw, Suzy is having a hard time taking care of her sick mother. Can't you be a bit more understanding?""Understanding? Who's going to underst
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 20: What About Your Wife?
"Substitute..." Suzy pondered, "Who else could this refer to in this situation? He was definitely referring to me.”It was obvious that he was explaining the matter of obtaining a marriage certificate to his main love interest.In this situation, Suzy felt like an awkward third wheel, placed right in the middle of a couple deeply in love. Before, she had questioned why Liam had picked her, but now it all became clear. It wasn't a mystery anymore why Liam had mentioned she was the perfect fit. It made sense since finding someone with a face resembling Sophia's, without any family ties, would have been quite a task. Suzy seemed destined to be Sophia's stand-in.Suzy didn't know whether to be disgusted by this coincidence or grateful for it. Without this stand-in role, her mother wouldn't have had the money for treatment.Seeing Suzy's conflicted expression, Sophia knew that she didn't recognize her, and there had likely been a misunderstanding.But she liked this misunderstanding.Afte
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 21: Suzy, I'll Try to Be Gentle
With a nervous heart, Suzy took a taxi directly to Easter Bay after work.As she entered half of the door lock's code, a sudden realization hit her – what if she walked in on an awkward situation? Without hesitation, she swiftly rang the doorbell.Soon, the door was opened.Liam had already changed out of his daytime suit. His meticulously groomed hair from the office now looked slightly disheveled. His tall figure was dressed in white home attire. Stripped of his corporate elegance, he now exuded a lazy youthful vibe.He appeared as if he had just finished playing basketball at the sports field, appearing a bit tired and ready to rest.Suzy, fearing that Sophia might be present, didn't enter but remained where she was, maintaining a businesslike demeanor. "Mr. Park, about the Far East project that you mentioned—""Suzy."He called her by her name directly, his eyebrows furrowed. "I'm off work now."Suzy was baffled, not understanding his intention. Wasn't it he who sent a mess

Suzy immediately denied, "Of course not!""Has your friend told you whether this man is good in bed? If he's short and tiny, then forget it!"Suzy instinctively replied, "He’s not.""Has your friend discussed this with you?" Wendy widened her eyes, getting excited about this topic. "Stop beating around the bush. Who is this friend of yours?""Oh, you don't know her; she's a classmate of mine from a long time ago," Suzy replied, fearing she might let something slip. She quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I have an appointment with the person in charge of the Far East project today. Are you available?"Wendy clicked her tongue and looked somewhat hesitant. "I can't make it today. The head office just transferred additional funds to Transcend Enterprises, and I need to go there.""That's alright, I'll go by myself."Suzy packed up, printed out the list of third-party companies that Liam had sent her, organized them into a folder, and then checked the time before heading to the agre
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 23: Stop Trying to Act Tough
At that moment, Suzy's once defiant consciousness gave way. She instinctively placed her trust in Liam as she lost consciousness in his embrace. She couldn't witness the sharp lines of his face or the icy layer that had replaced his typically impassive eyes."Liam..."Steven was dumbfounded, trembling all over. He never expected to encounter such a prominent figure today."You better pray she's okay."Liam's words were devoid of emotion, but they sent shivers down his spine. Watching him carry the woman away, he was left paralyzed on the seat, unable to stand.Comment by Ashley choi: Author wrote bed, but I don’t think there should be a bed in a private booth of the restaurant....Suzy felt like she had a long dream. The scenes flashed before her like a slideshow, starting from the pool of blood when her mother had committed suicide, then to the classroom at school, and finally to Desmond’s furious face.Suddenly, a sharp pain woke her up. She furrowed her brows and slowly opened her
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 24: Can Be a Bit More Obedient?
Suzy knew that at this moment, she should remind Liam that Easter Bay was his home, not hers.However, when she tried to speak, no words came out.Just this one time, she longed to pamper herself, and just this once, she yearned to experience the affection usually reserved for others."Alright, let’s go home."...Perhaps it was because he had been too tired the previous day, Liam didn't wake up at six o'clock for the first time.When Suzy opened her eyes, the man beside her was still asleep.One of his hands lightly rested on her waist, and he lay slightly to the side. From time to time, the curtains swayed with the breeze, allowing the sunlight to cascade onto his profound face. The sight was so enchanting that she couldn't tear her eyes away.If only she was his beloved, how wonderful would it be.Suzy was surprised such a sudden thought, causing her entire body to tense up. She quickly got out of bed.She didn't know how she could dare to have such thoughts! Indeed, once
