When Suzy woke up, Liam had already left home.As it was the weekend, she woke up, took care of her morning routine, and tidied up the house before preparing food to bring to the hospital.Upon reaching the V1 ward, Suzy saw two men standing at the door, looking like typical bodyguards from a TV drama, dressed in black with expressionless faces.As she approached, they promptly blocked her way."You need the consent of the person inside to enter this ward.""...I'm Melissa’s daughter."Initially, Suzy thought this was arranged by the hospital, but she found out after inquiring that they were originally Liam's personal bodyguards!After thorough verification, she was allowed into the ward. When Melissa saw her daughter, she quickly asked, "Who are those two men standing outside? They look really intimidating! Today, even the doctors need to verify their identities to enter!"Suzy put down the lunchbox and explained, "Due to those unauthorized individuals who entered your room, the hosp
"Alright, I'll head over now."When it came to work matters, Suzy couldn't afford to slack off. After notifying her mother, she promptly hailed a taxi to Park Group's headquarters.She hadn't been to this place many times before. Previously, it was only during FortuneWave's annual meetings that she had the opportunity to visit. Upon entering the lobby, the word 'magnificent' was an understatement! The natural crystal chandeliers hanging from above alone must have cost millions. The surroundings resembled a museum, adorned with antiques and genuine artworks.Following Sophia's instructions, Suzy took the 12th elevator and went straight to the ninth floor. As soon as she arrived, she saw Sophia's office with the title tag "General Counsel" displayed on the door, emphasizing her importance within Park Group."You came quickly," Sophia, now dressed in a branded suit with subtle makeup, but exuding elegance, remarked."Is the Far East Corporation contract already done?" Suzy preferred no
In each sentence, she spoke with a casual tone, as if she were just chatting with a friend. However, every word served as a constant reminder to Suzy about the distance that existed between her and Liam.Sophia never asked for details after saying something, she just casually spoke, and then smoothly transitioned to the next topic.Sometimes, it gave Suzy the illusion that she was being too sensitive.At last, they had the contract finalized.Suzy secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. "Thank you, Miss Burns. I'll be leaving now.""Oh, where's the hurry? Liam should be waking up soon. Let me go call him, and we can have lunch together."Liam... waking up soon?She paused for a moment, then heard Sophia's explanation. "I don't know what he was up to last night. I asked him, but he wouldn't say a word! After two consecutive meetings this morning, I could see he was too tired, so I let him rest for a while."Suzy kept quiet and thought that it was normal for Liam not to say an
Wendy's cousin, Jeffrey Palmer, whom Suzy had met before, displayed a notably distinct personality compared to Wendy. He appeared mature and composed, having achieved the position of a physics professor at a relatively young age, indicating a well-educated background.As Suzy arrived at the entrance of the church, she saw Wendy standing next to a pillar, waving frantically at her.Suzy walked over with a hint of helplessness. "With so many people here, aren't you worried about them laughing at you?"“Why should I be worried? It's because there's such a crowd that I was concerned you might not see me!" Wendy laughed and gestured towards the person beside her. "This is my cousin, Jeffrey Palmer. You remember him, right? He's a professor who loves to chat!"Suzy smiled and replied, "I remember him."When Suzy and Wendy left their previous jobs and began working at FortuneWave together, Jeffrey, worried about his cousin, had taken the initiative to purchase a conveniently located small d
"Mr. Park?!"Suzy hadn't even had a chance to react when Wendy, standing behind her, exclaimed with astonishment.The sudden appearance of Liam here was as unbelievable as winning the lottery!Suzy could already imagine Wendy's expression without turning around, and she anticipated a barrage of questions. So, she quickly composed herself, putting on a professional smile, and briskly walked up to the car."Mr. Park, is there something you want to ask me regarding work?”Liam gave a cold glance at the person behind her but didn't reveal anything. "Get in.""Alright."Suzy nodded quickly and then waved to Wendy beside her. "I have some business to attend to here, so I'll leave now! I’ll see you next week."Seizing the moment before the situation could escalate, she got into the car promptly.During the journey, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere inside the car felt somewhat eerie. Suzy couldn't pinpoint the reason, but she wondered if it had something to do with... a sleepless ni
Liam rarely used this tone in private conversations, which meant he had made up his mind."Then thank you, Mr. Park."...When they arrived at the Park Group headquarters, Liam went straight to the conference room.Suzy felt like he was in meetings all day long.She carried her bag and went directly to find Alec, and upon seeing him, she understood why he sounded so familiar! Wasn't this the same person who had blocked her at the door when she went to see Liam for a contract in Newton City?"Miss Chase." Alec didn't seem surprised, as if he had known who she was all along."You don't have to be so formal, just call me Suzy!" She was here for training, which meant she was apprenticing under Alec, so she couldn't let him address her so formally.Her words seemed to surprise Alec."No, Mr. Park personally asked me to take care of you, so I'll call you Miss Chase." Alec had been with Liam for many years and had never seen anyone of the opposite sex get close to Liam in any special way.
Liam spotted Suzy just as she was about to hide herself."Suzy," he called her in a low and magnetic voice, his tone deliberate.With her game of hide and seek foiled, Suzy reluctantly walked over. "Mr. Park, Miss Burns.""We'll head off first." As soon as she approached, Liam opened the car door and got in.Sophia waved, offering a smile to Suzy. "Take care on the road, both of you. Liam, we'll discuss our matters when you return from your business trip.""Alright."Suzy patiently waited until Sophia had left before she joined Liam in the car. She discreetly glanced at him, her curiosity piqued by what Sophia had mentioned as "our matters." What could it be?"Feeling tired?" Liam used his slender fingers to adjust his tie and casually unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.From Suzy's angle, she could vaguely make out a tattoo on his collarbone."I'm alright. Mr. Lincoln didn't burden me with too much work.""If the workload becomes too much, let him know." His intention for Suzy
It seemed like Wendy didn’t lie to Suzy this time.“I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. I'll discuss it with my manager when I come back! This project is indeed promising.”Jeffrey replied shortly, "Are you going on a business trip tomorrow too?"“Yes, I'm heading to West City tomorrow.”“What a coincidence! I'm also going to West City tomorrow. I've been invited to give a lecture at the University of Technology. If you have time, we can meet up, and I can discuss this project with you in more detail.”Suzy wasn't sure if Jeffrey only wanted to talk about work when he suddenly asked her out or if it was a set-up by Wendy.However, she did think the project was an excellent idea.She couldn't afford to miss out on this project just because of her suspicions.After some thought, she replied, "Alright, we can stay in touch."Setting her phone aside, Suzy entered the bathroom. When she came out, she noticed an unread text message, but it wasn't from her WhatsApp.Upon opening it, she re
