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
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
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
"Absolutely," Suzy replied, her excitement evident. "The situation with Team Three at Transcend Enterprises this year, while it does affect our year-end bonus, also presents an opportunity. I'm eager to take advantage of it."If she could successfully complete the Far East project right now and rescue Team Three from their predicament, Desmond would undoubtedly be even happier and hold her in higher regard than before.Liam raised his gaze to look at her, and after a while, his lips moved slightly. "The headquarters plans to transfer a few people from FortuneWave for financial training.""Can I be one of them?" Suzy almost immediately asked."Yes, I’ll consider it if you listen to my instructions.""Mr. Park, I'll definitely follow your instructions!"Did he even need to mention it? Even without this opportunity, as an employee, she had to obey the CEO's instructions."I remember I just told you, don't call me Mr. Park at home."She was taken aback.He raised an eyebrow.Afte
In the past, Clive used to believe Liam was someone incredibly steadfast and unyielding, like a monk who had renounced worldly desires. Regardless of whether a woman was mature, cute, or a young model, none of them piqued his interest.Now Clive understood that Liam was not stubborn, just selective.He realized Liam had his own way of approaching a woman.Even when he had to meet with a business associate, this dignified CEO of Park Group was determined to bring his partner as a companion. He reasoned that if anyone discovered them, they could simply explain that they were discussing business in the store.Clive thought he should tease Liam about this matter."Do you have any official business for coming here?"Liam never responded to such idle chatter and teasing; his mind was always focused on work.Clive chuckled and deliberately leaned in to disturb him. "Of course! I came over to ask why you decided to bury the harassment incident involving the Far East's representative. We could
For some reason, Suzy couldn't help but feel disgusted when addressing him as “Liam,” so this time she pretended not to hear it.They arrived at the hospital, and she intended to say goodbye to Liam and get out of the car with her bag.But then he suddenly grabbed her wrist."Wait, I'll go with you."Liam was going to see her mother?Suzy quickly waved her hand. "You don't need to trouble yourself. My mom is doing much better now!"As she spoke, Liam was already standing in front of her with the flowers and gifts from the backseat."Let's go."Suzy was speechless.There was no way around it. Suzy reluctantly brought Liam into the hospital, all the while wondering how she would explain Liam's identity to her mother later!As they reached the door of the hospital room, Suzy silently prayed that her mother was asleep at the moment, which would make things much easier. Unfortunately, when the door opened, her mother was wide awake and chatting with a nurse, looking quite spirited."Welcome
Suzy clearly hadn't expected Liam to be concerned about this matter.She gave an awkward smile. "Mr. Park, you don't know my mom. She's very traditional and wouldn't accept the contract between us. I was afraid she would get angry if she found out, so I didn't tell her the truth.""Do you plan to reconcile with your boyfriend after the one-year contract is over?"His question was too sharp, and his gaze was too piercing. Suzy didn't know how to come up with a convincing answer.She regretted creating this imaginary boyfriend in the first place. It was like shooting herself in the foot."Well, I haven't really thought about it,"She couldn't say that she would never reconcile, as it might make him suspect her true intentions."You've thought about it," Liam said coldly. "Otherwise, why wouldn't you tell your mom that you've already broken up?" Suzy was never good at making up stories, and now her brain was almost shutting down. She stammered, "Well, I... uh...""Take some time to reco
