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
To save time, Suzy simply put on some clothes over her pajamas and headed out. She figured she would drop Liam off at Easter Bay and then return.She hailed a taxi and arrived at Red Dream International, where she immediately spotted Liam's black Maybach."Miss Chase, here are the car keys." John handed them to her.Suzy didn't detect any alcohol scent from John, but the man sitting in the passenger seat certainly carried a strong odor."Then you should take Mr. Park back," she said, puzzled. Who would assist Liam in getting inside once they reached their destination?"I have other matters to attend to,"Suzy was left speechless and reluctantly took the driver's seat herself.She sneakily glanced at Liam beside her; his suit and shirt were immaculate, his handsome face stern, his thin lips tightly pressed together. He seemed like he had "Do Not Disturb" written all over him.Fortunately, he had his eyes closed, and she decided to assume he was asleep.The car journey continued
Suzy sat up, her expression filled with doubt. "I'm moving in here?""Any issues?" Of course, there were issues! If she moved in, wouldn't it be like cohabitating? They would see each other all the time after work! Dealing with his unpredictable temper day in and day out, she'd age ten years at least.Moreover, wouldn't his former love interest eventually find out about this? If they reconciled after she moved out of her rented place, would she be stuck here witnessing their affectionate displays?"Mr. Park, I think it might not be convenient for me to live here. Rest assured, during the contract period, if you call me over, I'll come immediately.""Suzy, do you really think of yourself as a commodity for sale?" Liam furrowed his thick brows, his tone not open to refusal, and his manner commanding. "I said, move in.""Alright, Mr. Park."... After breakfast, Liam left the house.Suzy had no choice but to comply, returning to her rented place to pack her things. At around
