Suzy remembered the last time she heard him say those words was when Melissa insisted she bring a boyfriend to the hospital.His tone then was just like now—gentle, heartfelt, as if he wanted to drown her in his affection…Unfortunately, the first time, she didn't trust his love.And this second time… she couldn't believe he would turn against his own family."Liam, you won't want to know the truth.""I do." Liam gently cradled her face, his eyes firm and unwavering. "Suzy, tell me."He didn't want Suzy to push him away whenever something happened. He didn't want to be left to investigate everything on his own. He wanted to be her support, to hear her out, whether it was bitterness, grievances, or anger, and then face it together.Countless possibilities flashed through Suzy's mind, and finally, as if waking from a dream, she pushed Liam forcefully."The truth is, I hate you, and I hate everyone in your family. I want you to stay away from me! I've fallen in love with Jeffrey and—"Her
This statement could easily be misunderstood.Noticing the sudden defensiveness in Suzy's eyes, Liam softened his tone, abandoning his aggressive stance and returning to his usual gentlemanly warmth."It's just a dinner.""And then you'll let me see B7?""Yes."Suzy had no other options.She crossed the street to Jeffrey's car and tapped on the window.Before she could speak, Jeffrey anxiously said, "Suzy, I can't reach B7 anymore!""Liam took him.""...Then I'll go confront Liam!"Suzy quickly stopped him. "He's been acting strangely today. Don't provoke him! Confronting Liam head-on isn't wise. You should go home. I'll handle him.""You want me to leave you alone with Liam? He just—""Jeff, I'm so close to the truth! I can't afford any setbacks.""But if Liam finds out why you're meeting B7, he'll definitely intercept the evidence! Do you really think he'll choose you over his parents?"Of course not.Even Suzy understood that Liam would likely protect his parents.As their son, it w
"Have you ever had sex with a man?”As night fell, Suzy Chase, who was on a business trip and had indulged in a little alcohol, should have retired to her slumber. Nevertheless, the moment she shut her eyes, her friend Wendy Park’s words started echoing in her mind."Trust me, it's amazing. Seriously, go find yourself a hot guy while you're still young! If you can't find one, don't be shy about DIY. Plus, I've got a stash of adult movies, if you need a little inspiration, call me."She couldn't remember what response she gave to Wendy back then.Suzy lay on the hotel bed, her delicate face blushing from the alcohol, her thick, flowing hair scattered around her like seaweed.In just one month, she would turn twenty-six, already an adult woman, but she had never had a boyfriend, her first kiss remained untouched, and other intimate encounters seemed like distant dreams.In fact, Wendy had brought it up before, often discussing explicit topics on a daily basis. However, today, it unexpect
At dawn, Suzy awoke to find the man next to her still sound asleep. His powerful arm enveloped her entirely, and his steady breath lightly teased her neck.Aching and tingling sensations surged between her legs as the last traces of drunkenness dissipated, and her rationality returned.What had she done?...She had actually slept with the CEO!Suzy's breath caught in her throat, and she carefully withdrew from his embrace, then hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes, packed her belongings, and rushed out of room 1501 as if her life depended on it, heading straight to the hotel reception to book another room.As she was making the payment on her phone, she suddenly realized that the one she had asked for the adult films from wasn’t Wendy, but Liam!A few years ago, during a middle school reunion, the class monitor created a group chat, encouraging everyone to add each other as friends. Suzy still remembered clearly that it was Liam who added her first. However, after accepting, he
Wendy had quite a loud voice, and when she suddenly exclaimed, all eyes, including Liam's, turned in their direction.Fortunately, Liam only glanced briefly and then averted his gaze, without saying a word. He walked away from the hotel with his long strides.After everyone had left, Wendy approached with a gossip-hungry expression."Hey? Why did Mr. Park ask that question?"This puzzled Suzy because she had initially expected something dramatic to unfold, but it ended up being this instead.Suzy, however, felt like she had been given a break and, with a dry throat, she said, "My room had a great view; perhaps he wanted to switch rooms with me.”"Is that it?""Well, he is the CEO."Wendy shrugged and acknowledged that there wouldn't be much of a connection between them due to the significant hierarchy difference between Liam and Suzy."Do you think a handsome guy like Mr. Park would be passionate in bed? With his height, I bet he's well-endowed!"Suzy chose to remain silent.
In the world of investment banking companies, the role of public relations, often dubbed the "facilitator of social engagement and cheerful demeanor," held widespread recognition.She never expected that Liam would see her in the same light. Did he believe that Desmond had also orchestrated last night's events?Liam's words hurt Suzy deeply, but with others around, she had no option but to swallow her pride and stay put for the time being.This job was crucial to her; she needed the money to cover her mother's medical expenses.Seeing the atmosphere grow cold, Desmond quickly put on a smile. "She's been my associate all along, Mr. Park. You're reading too much into it. I simply thought that since both of you are from West City, you might have some shared interests, which is why I invited her to join us. If it bothers you, I can send her back right away."After saying this, he gave a meaningful look to Suzy. She was about to leave when Liam finally spoke, "Please, take a seat."Suzy was
Moreover, that tattoo appeared to have been there for quite some time, deeply etched into the skin, unlike a recent addition.If Wendy's statement held true, then 0825 must be the birthday of someone special to him! After all, Suzy was aware of Liam's birthday; it fell in April. In contrast, the birthdays of the Park Group Chairman and his wife, who were Liam's parents, both fell in July.Of course, it had no connection to her!Her birthday was on November 14th.None of those four numbers aligned with hers. Reflecting on it, the fact that Liam, a man so reserved to his core, would engage in such a wild and somewhat immature act as getting a tattoo, suggested he must be deeply in love with someone.Suzy suddenly regretted acting impulsively the previous night. Why hadn't she thought to ask whether Liam was single? Liam might be attractive and possess impressive capabilities, but due to her strong sense of morality, she wouldn’t want to get involved with someone else's man, no mat
"Wendy, this is an extremely urgent situation! Can you please find a way to get Mr. Park's phone number?"Suzy had blocked him on WhatsApp and even left all the shared groups. Now, her only hope lay in Wendy!On the other end, it was clear that Wendy had not yet fully awakened, and her voice carried a hint of drowsiness. "Who?""Liam Park...""You must be sleepwalking. You should go back to your bed.""I don't have time to provide a detailed explanation. This is a serious matter!"The supervisor from the collaborating company had left the country immediately after signing the contract. Suzy couldn't possibly ask them to return just to sign a new contract with her!Wendy also sensed that Suzy wasn't joking. She sat up in bed and thought for a moment. “I definitely can't get you his number, but you can go to his room and find him.”Right, of course!Suzy quickly hung up the phone, threw on some clothes, and rushed to the hotel's presidential suite.However, as soon as she got o
