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."
That pair of eyes would be enough to enchant many women.Combined with his outstanding background and work abilities, if he weren't a playboy, he shouldn't have trouble finding a girlfriend.Suzy just thought he had nothing better to do and was trying to mess with her.The less attention men pay to her, the more enthusiastic they become."Here!" Ryan spotted her figure, took off his sunglasses, and waved at her.Suzy sighed and walked towards him on her high heels. "You're up so early, I thought I wouldn't see you until noon.""Don't you need to be diligent when pursuing someone? If I were later, I'd be afraid you'd drive to work yourself."Saying this, Ryan handed over the breakfast in his hand.It really seemed like he was serious about pursuing her.Suzy didn't take it and kept her distance from him, "This makes me very uncomfortable, Mr. Paynes. I prefer the way we interacted before, and I don't want to change that.""But you said you'd give me a chance. Shouldn't I put in some eff
Suzy looked up at him, her brows furrowing slightly.She understood the reasoning, but she really didn't want to see any casualties on the construction site."And do you know? Many workers are actually willing to die on the job."Suzy was stunned, finding this statement absurd.Ryan shrugged with a smile, motioning for Peter to leave so he could talk to Suzy alone. "If they were to die on the job, the company would pay compensation, which might be more than they could earn in a lifetime of hard work! Our compensation standards are much higher than other companies, and I’ve also insured the project, so you don’t need to worry about this anymore.""Isn't this just your personal view? Who would wish to die?""There are many people in the world who commit suicide. Is that just my personal view?"Suzy was speechless.Ryan smiled. "I know you’re kind-hearted. You want every worker to come to work safely and go home happily, but everyone’s situation is different. I've done my best for them, S
