Liam dropped this bombshell and then turned to leave.The subsequent job assignments were handled by the head of the HR department.Suzy was shocked to hear Liam call out her name in public. During their marriage, he had never been this open about their relationship at the company. At most, he would wait for her after work so they could go home together.Today, he came to the waiting room in person and said her name aloud, which was practically announcing to everyone from DollarMax that they had a complicated relationship!Was he out of his mind?"Mr. Park… did he just say your name?" Suzy was stunned, and Peter was even more so.He almost thought he was hallucinating."It seems so...""You know him?" Peter's eyes widened."We were middle school classmates! Don't overthink it. I'll explain when I get back."After saying that, Suzy quickly got up and left the waiting room. It was hard to explain her relationship with Liam, and she didn't understand his intentions for doing this.…Havi
"Mr. Park, you're here! I'll get back to work now.""Hmm."Alec immediately put on a cheerful face upon seeing Liam and didn't forget to wave goodbye to Suzy as he left.Suzy was speechless and really wished he had taken her with him.On this floor of the CEO's office, it was usually just Liam and Alec. Anyone else needed Liam's permission to come up.So, now no one could save Suzy.Instinctively, she took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Liam.Suzy didn't want anyone to misunderstand her relationship with him. Even if she didn't care about her own reputation, she had to consider the feelings of Liam's current partner.As a woman, Suzy felt that if Liam's partner found out he was alone with his ex-wife, she would definitely be upset.Even though she had no idea who this "she" was."What are you avoiding?""Nothing."Liam knew she was being stubborn, so he just raised an eyebrow slightly. "Let's talk inside."He strode toward the office, but there was no sound of footsteps foll
Suzy was so furious that she spoke without thinking, snapping back, "You were the one who didn't want me to call you Mr. Park back then!"This response was exactly what Liam had hoped for."What was our relationship back then, and what is it now?""You—"Liam sat there, looking all businesslike, as if she was the unreasonable one!"Miss Chase, we're discussing work. If you have any personal matters to discuss, I can wait for you after work.""I have no personal matters to discuss with you!" Suzy's eyes widened as she ground her teeth. "Since the decision has been made, HR could have just informed me of the transfer. Why call me to the CEO's office alone? This creates misunderstandings, Mr. Park."She emphasized the last two words heavily.Liam remained unperturbed, merely smiling slightly, "What’s there to misunderstand?”Seeing him feign ignorance, Suzy decided to be blunt, "The public would misunderstand that you have a crush on me!""Oh." Liam suddenly stood up, taking long strides
If it were him, he'd certainly seize the opportunity to secure immense wealth!Peter's reminder for her to take advantage of this situation wasn't purely out of kindness. He was hoping that if she could build a good relationship with Liam, he'd have a way to connect with Liam himself!Sucking up to her now could lead to his own meteoric rise.Peter had already made some money while at DollarMax, but compared to Park Group, it was a drop in the bucket!If Liam appreciated his work ability even a little, how much could he earn in the future? He didn't even dare to imagine!"Thanks for the reminder, but I just want to earn some money peacefully. Sucking up to the CEO is too difficult."If possible, she just wanted to leave Park Group entirely."Then can you find a way to get me in front of Mr. Park?" Peter finally revealed his true intention. "Don't worry, if I make it big, I'll never forget your introduction today!"Suzy could only smile and nod. "Sure, if there's a chance."Seeing her r
Suzy felt like she was walking on eggshells.Breathing the air in Park Group felt both thrilling and terrifying."Didn't he already announce his marriage? Is Liam doing this to honor his wife?""Perhaps you should ask Mr. Park about that!"How should Alec respond?Liam had strictly forbidden any gossip."Never mind, I won't trouble you anymore." Suzy's shoulders slumped. "Thank you, Mr. Lincoln.""You're welcome." Alec smiled, then glanced at his watch. "Mr. Park's meeting should end in about an hour. Just wait for him at his reserved parking spot.""Just give me the address, and I'll go by myself!" She wanted to stay as far from Liam as possible."Ah, Miss Chase, what’s the point in struggling now? Maybe Mr. Park really just wants to discuss work with you. The more you resist, the more awkward it becomes for everyone. Or… do you have other thoughts?"Suzy was speechless.Alec was about to leave but suddenly stopped at the door."By the way, I have something to say.""Go ahead.""Last
She realized Liam had a calculated plan for bringing her back to Park Group. On day one, he was already rushing to take her to see Arthur to test her!Recognizing this, Suzy reminded herself to be cautious around this man; who knew where the traps might be?She hoped that when she saw Arthur, she wouldn't give anything away!And... she also wanted to see her son, at least to know how he was doing!"You don't seem surprised that I have a son," Liam suddenly said.Suzy quickly snapped back to reality, shrugged, and acted indifferent. "Should I be surprised? We've been divorced for over four years. You're a normal man. Getting remarried and having children is normal, right?""I announced my marriage this year.""Oh, congratulations!"She had no desire to continue this conversation.Nor did she want to discuss Liam's new wife! That would remind her of the bite marks on his shoulder!"I thought you might be curious."Suzy forced a professional smile. "Mr. Park, we're here for work! This isn
"...I-I don't know what you're talking about!"Liam leaned down, his handsome face getting close to hers. "Then what do you mean by ‘leave bite marks’?"Suzy immediately averted her gaze, pretending to be calm. "Are you saying that you and your wife are in a sexless marriage? We're both adults; do I really need to spell it out?""Heh." Liam suddenly laughed. "You're blushing."Suzy was at a loss for words.She looked at the man in front of her as if she didn't recognize him anymore!When did Liam become so shameless?"Since you're already out of the car, come in and have something to eat."After saying that, Liam didn't give her a chance to refuse and walked away.Suzy stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then followed him.She could only hope that Arthur wouldn’t give anything away when he saw her......As soon as the door opened, she saw Arthur lounging on the sofa, playing with his computer.He knew his "lunch" had arrived as soon as he heard the noise! Slipping o
Seeing Arthur like this, Suzy knew she had to play along. "Mr. Park, I'll wait outside then. Let's not upset the child."She expected some reaction from Liam, but he merely nodded. "Alright."Suzy turned and left Easter Bay, feeling increasingly uneasy about Liam's attitude, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why.If he brought her to see Arthur to test her, why hadn't he done anything suspicious? He had gone straight to the kitchen to cook upon arriving home!What hidden trap could she have missed?With a restless heart, Suzy waited in the car for a while before seeing Liam come out of the house carrying a paper bag.Once in the car, he handed the bag to Suzy."I packed this for you.""No need, skipping one meal won't hurt me. I'll eat after work."Liam glanced at her, his thin lips moving slightly. "You'll be working late tonight, I’ll triple your pay."Hearing about overtime, Suzy quickly protested, "I can't tonight, I have plans!"Jeffrey had finally helped her arrange a meeting
