"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
Seeing her so earnestly discussing their marriage as if it were a business matter, Liam sighed."Let's wait a little longer." He thought he might have been too impatient....Early the next morning, John came to pick them up for the airport.Throughout the journey, Liam was busy communicating with shareholders, not even having time to take a sip of water. It wasn't until they were on the plane that he finally leaned back in his seat to rest.Suzy naturally didn't disturb him. It was a good time for her to go through the materials sent by Alec.The deeper she delved into this project, the more questions she had. The energy-saving company did indeed have good prospects. However, did it really require the CEO of a major corporation like Liam to personally go on a business trip to West City? It seemed like even if they doubled the investment amount, it wouldn't attract his attention.He must have other matters to attend to.The flight from Northorn City to West City took three hours. Su
"...I'm not afraid of being seen; I'm worried about people speculating about our relationship."Liam had been in the business world from the start, and he had never been involved in any scandalous news. The only rumors that might have circulated were related to him and Sophia.Now, on a business trip, if people were to spread rumors about him bringing a female associate and behaving intimately, it could cause unnecessary trouble.Besides, since Suzy would be following Alec, she wouldn't be too far away from Liam and wouldn't get lost in West City."Our relationship is not something that should be a subject of speculation,” Liam said matter-of-factly.To him, it was just a matter of not going public. After all, they were a married couple, so there was nothing to fear in terms of rumors.However, Suzy interpreted his words differently.Liam was deliberately getting close to her, and he insisted on doing so in public... Could it be that he was having another dispute with Sophia and wante
It was a small world indeed!Before coming here, Suzy had considered the possibility of encountering her family, but she didn't expect to see him right after her arrival. No wonder that woman had been causing trouble lately and mentioning divorce. It turned out they had returned from abroad. This wasn't good news."Do you think this guy, George Taylor, wants to leave SNS because there's something wrong with the company?" Alec's voice brought her thoughts back.Suzy nodded and purposely sat with her back to her father. "Otherwise, even without Park Group's support for going public, SNS would still be making good profits. Unless he has a better opportunity elsewhere, leaving money on the table without earning it is a cautious decision."Investing in a company at its early stage implied a special attachment. It could be a strong friendship or family ties. In any case, as an original shareholder, he must have thought carefully before taking action.Moreover, changes in share ownership,
Suzy dismissed it as mere barking. That woman had always aspired to become the legitimate wife, so she relentlessly pressured Victor to divorce. Victor and Melissa had countless arguments, but Melissa refused to sign the divorce agreement, insisting that the other woman should forever hold the position of a mistress.Suzy understood her mother's reasons for this, as it was crucial for Melissa to continue living. Even Suzy had to take a back seat to that.Back at SNS, when Alec noticed her troubled expression, he chose not to inquire further, treating it as though nothing had happened. After their meal, they were summoned back to the SNS office.Liam and his team had likely just finished their meal and were now seated on the sofa in the banquet hall. His suit jacket rested over his arm, and his long legs were crossed.Upon spotting Suzy, he raised his hand and gestured for her to approach.Without hesitation, she walked briskly to Liam's side and greeted him with a courteous smile.
