"None of your business."That same response again.Sometimes Sophia really wanted to ask Liam what she lacked. In terms of feelings for Liam and contributions to the Park Group, how was she not a hundred times better than Suzy?He should have been hers......In his office, Liam had just sat down when Alec messaged that the arrangements were made.He opened his computer and glanced at the files. His eyes involuntarily fell on the Windsting City resort project submitted by the branch office.Had the project entered the second phase?He wondered if her injuries had healed.He wondered if Jeffrey had been visiting her in the hospital.Thinking about this, a self-mocking smile appeared on Liam’s lips. He felt so insignificant now; even when he had pursued Suzy with all his effort, he hadn't felt this way.What made him feel even more shameful was that he simultaneously took out his phone and dialed Clive's number.After a few rings, the call was answered, "What's up? Do you need help with
At that moment, Liam felt as if his heart was suddenly and fiercely squeezed! He was nervous, excited, and most of all, at a loss for what to do...Yes, the CEO of the powerful Park Group, who could dominate the business world, was now as helpless as a schoolboy receiving a message from his crush for the first time.It had been four years since he last heard from Suzy.He had forgotten that he had bought the driver's contact number!Suzy texted, “Hello?”Seeing no response, Suzy sent another message.Liam snapped out of it and quickly typed with his long fingers, “Here.”Suddenly realizing this reply sounded too much like his usual style, and fearing Suzy might recognize him, he added a smiling emoji.Watching the "typing..." indicator, Liam waited, his eyes fixed on the screen.Soon, she transferred him a sum of money.Suzy texted, “Here is the remaining money. Please check if it's correct.”Liam didn't care about the money at all. Without even looking, he replied directly, “It's corr
Liam thought back to when Alec told him that Wendy had given birth to a daughter. This hand must belong to that child.After all, Suzy and Wendy were really close friends, so it made sense for Suzy to post pictures of Wendy's daughter.Obsessed, Liam continued scrolling through her posts. He even opened and examined the company photos, not missing a single one, as if doing so would help him understand more about her life over the past four years.It was clear that Suzy was very busy with work. She had very few posts on her profile feeds and even fewer about her personal life.When he exited the screen, he saw that Suzy had replied.Suzy texted, “Okay, I'll try to accommodate you.”Liam stared at the message for a moment before immediately calling Alec."Can you contact the driver I used in Windsting City before?""I should be able to. I'll find his number and get back to you." Alec didn't understand Liam's intentions but followed orders.A minute after hanging up, Alec called back, "Mr
Liam rubbed his forehead, convincing himself that it was just curiosity.Or maybe he was simply concerned about her injury. After all, it happened while she was working on the project, so as the CEO, it was only natural for him to show some concern.Yes, that was it....Suzy checked her phone, confirming that the driver hadn't replied before putting it away and focusing on the meeting.She had deleted him on a whim, thinking they would have no further interactions after she left Windsting City. However, when he sent a friend request again, it made her feel a bit awkward!It was like getting caught right after doing something wrong.She really hadn't given it much thought. She just didn’t like having unfamiliar contacts on WhatsApp and assumed the driver wouldn’t need to contact her again."Miss Chase, is there anything you would like to add?"Peter suddenly directed the conversation to her.Suzy quickly smiled and took out the PPT she had worked on overnight. "Regarding our construct
As soon as Suzy opened the door, she noticed an extra desk in her office!Was someone going to share this space with her? No one had mentioned it to her.Suzy was about to turn around and ask Peter about it when she saw Ryan walking towards her with a spring in his step."Finished with the meeting?""Yes." Suzy couldn't avoid him, so she smiled and nodded.Ryan waved a lunch box in front of her. "Hey, I just drove an hour to get this for you! You haven't eaten yet, right? This is a local specialty from Windsting City.""…No need. I'll eat something at the hotel after I finish up here. I'm not hungry right now.""You're that cautious about just eating something?" Ryan blinked, pretending to be hurt. "Afraid I put something in it? Here, I'll take the first bite."Suzy felt cornered and awkwardly waved her hand. "No, it's just that I'm not hungry! But thanks for the gesture, I'll take it back to the hotel and eat it later."She knew that if she didn't accept it, Ryan would stay and talk f
His tone, his words.It was exactly like he was reminding a girlfriend.Suzy's smile stiffened, and she chuckled awkwardly. "Thanks for the concern, boss."Ryan was speechless.He could blur the lines between personal and professional matters under the guise of work, so she could constantly remind him of their actual relationship....Evening came, and night fell.Suzy returned to her hotel, took a shower, and after a brief video call with her daughter, she opened her laptop to work.Ryan had sent over the new project materials. She skimmed through them; the due diligence shouldn't be too difficult, mainly focusing on the certification of the partnering company.Typically, in this kind of secondary agricultural product processing industry, there might be some discrepancies with product certificates and business registrations, but as long as it's not too excessive, it shouldn't pose major problems. However, she needed to ensure these hidden risks were thoroughly investigated to avoid a
Before leaving the country, she needed to finish all her work.She had to complete what she started.Suzy worked for several hours, and when she finally looked up, it was already 2 a.m.Her neck was sore, so she had to take a break.She instinctively checked her phone and noticed that the driver had sent another message. To avoid losing his contact, she had saved his number under a nickname.Driver from Windsting City texted, “Are going to West City for work?”Suzy found it odd that he was asking this, but she replied anyway, “Yes, going there for a business trip.”After sending the message, she realized it was the middle of the night. The driver was probably already asleep, given his age.She got up to stretch, and when she returned to her computer, she saw that the driver had replied!Suzy double-checked; it was indeed 2:30 a.m.Driver from Windsting City replied, “Oh, safe travels.”She smiled, feeling a bit warm inside.Although their introduction was less than ideal, the driver se
Liam rubbed his temples, his eyes full of frustration."My engagement announcement hasn't affected the company."Grace's voice got louder. "No impact? Shareholders have been calling non-stop to ask about the future Mrs. Park. Do you think they're just being curious?"For a large company like Park Group, every new member must be vetted carefully. Any scandal or rumor could affect the stock market."I said it has no impact.""Then tell me who this person is. I need to investigate, or I won't be at ease.""I'm the acting CEO now, and if I say there's no issue, then there's no issue. If you and Dad are worried, you can remove me from my position."Grace was furious. "You—""If I can't even make personnel decisions as CEO, then I might as well not be one.""You're willing to give up your position just for a woman?" Grace paused, then sneered, "I bet it's Suzy again. No one else could make you lose your mind like this."Liam didn't argue. Instead, he gave a mocking smile."So, you do know."
