Suzy did not reply to his question."It’s no wonder when I saw the name Suzy Chase, it seemed so familiar.”Suzy knew that she shouldn’t allow this topic to be discussed further. Delving deeper would reveal the absurdity of that night's events! She didn't want anyone to know about her agreement with Liam. It was best if everyone believed that Liam was only being kind to her because of their school friendship."Hey, Mr. Lincoln, please take a look at this trademark patent document..."...The Park Group was always committed to its charitable initiatives. For every batch of financially disadvantaged students they sponsored, Liam personally reviewed the lists, verified the actual situations, and discreetly sent people to investigate whether there were even needier students who hadn't been selected.If they came across cases where both parents were seriously ill, Liam would pay extra attention, making sure that students didn't have to sacrifice their education for their livelihoods.It h
What should they do now?Suzy also stood there, bewildered, not sure what he meant."Never mind."He walked to the bathroom and opened the door. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the rest of his sentence, "I'll go buy it later.""No!" Suzy immediately protested. "Let me go instead."Going to the supermarket to buy things as his employee wouldn't raise any suspicions, especially since she was a woman, so no one would think much of it.However, if Liam were to go out, it would be different!If someone saw him or took photos of him buying condoms, it would be explosive news.Liam quickly understood her thoughts and said calmly, "You don't have to be so cautious.""How can I not? What if someone finds out?" If that happened, it wouldn't just be a matter of Liam's reputation; her mother's reaction was something she didn't even want to think about.While Liam was taking a shower, Suzy hurriedly went out to make the purchase. To avoid running into Alec in the el
Maybe Liam was exhausted, or perhaps he didn't feel like going out to buy it again tomorrow, but on this specific night, he did something he had never done previously.Even though it left Suzy too exhausted to even raise her hand.After Liam finished washing up, he lay down behind her, his arm gently draped over her waist. He was tired too, and soon the steady sound of his breathing filled the room.After waiting for a while, Suzy slowly turned her body, putting a little distance between them. After living alone for so many years, suddenly having someone else by her side felt a bit unfamiliar.Feeling thirsty, Suzy quietly got out of bed and went outside to pour herself a glass of water. When she turned to go back in, she noticed the phone on the table briefly lit up.It was Liam's personal phone!She hesitated for a moment but couldn't resist her curiosity. She walked over and glanced at it, discovering a text message from Sophia.“Mrs Park’s depression has flared up again. I can come
He wanted her to visit the Park family?The first thing that came to Suzy's mind was the message Sophia had sent to Liam."I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to accompany you there.”Her current status made her feel awkward!"There's nothing wrong with it. Just accompany me. If you don't want to get out of the car, you can wait for me inside."When she realized that he simply wanted her to be there with him and had no plans for her to meet anyone, Suzy felt relieved."Alright then. Just let me know a day in advance so I can rearrange my work."Liam nodded, watching her relax from her initial tense state. He wondered if it was the right decision to bring her to meet his parents so abruptly. His primary intention was for his mother to meet Suzy, and then gradually work on getting his mother to accept her....In the morning, Alec efficiently gathered substantial information about SNS, leaving Suzy silently impressed by the competence of those who worked alongside Liam.As noon approa
"What?"His sudden topic caught her off guard. Wasn't he here to discuss the project?Seeing the surprised look on Suzy's face, Jeffrey couldn't help but curl his lips."Did I startle you?""Well, yes, a bit." Suzy forced a stiff smile, completely unprepared for this situation.Jeffrey was quick to break the awkwardness. "I'm sorry, I was too abrupt! I did come today for the project, but I couldn't help myself when I saw the sunlight shining on you so beautifully. I made a little joke."After saying this, he pushed the files and documents that were placed nearby in front of Suzy. "Take a look, these are the design drawings and several national patent certificates."She took a look, and the information inside was comprehensive and clearly well-organized.Among them were some patents obtained jointly by several people and some signed solely by Jeffrey."Regarding the project collaboration, I'll need to take these back and discuss them with the higher-ups. But personally, I think if we c
"It would be too late by then. The contract requires an appendix to be marked, and I must take a look at it before the Legal Department can finalize the contract.”Suzy was speechless.Sophia seemed to need it urgently, and there was a commanding tone in her voice. "Don't waste any more time. The lawyers from FortuneWave are waiting here. Just send it to this email."After saying that, she hung up the phone. Soon, an email address was sent to Suzy's phone.Thinking that Sophia, as the General Counsel of Park Group, wouldn't do anything detrimental to the company, Suzy opened the documents for the Far East project and sent what she needed.Upon arriving at the Department of Commerce, Suzy got out of the car and noticed that Liam was standing next to Alec. Had he finished his work?"Hurry up, we're waiting for your confirmation and signature." Alec waved her hand, urging Suzy.Suzy quickly walked over, and as she passed by Liam, she politely greeted him, "Mr. Park."Following Alec, sh
"Uh, well..."Kenneth finally realized that something was amiss. He looked at Suzy and then at Liam."Are you two...?""I work at his company!"Suzy didn't wait for Liam to speak and quickly explained."I see!" Kenneth let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes wandered more freely as he gazed at Suzy.She had always been beautiful.Back in junior, even when she wore tattered clothes and her hair ties were frayed, she couldn't hide her delicate features. Furthermore, she was dressed impeccably now with her long hair flowing like a waterfall. He noticed her eyes, nose, and overall features looked like someone who came straight out of a beauty magazine. Seeing that he seemed to have more to say, Liam discreetly pulled Suzy back a step.“We'll chat another day; we have something to attend to today.""Ah! Alright then. Go on with your business. We can talk more when we meet at the reunion."Kenneth, as a man, had somewhat sensed Liam's cold and polite demeanor, so he didn't insist on adding
Liam had already entered the bathroom, and Suzy was still pondering the behind his words.It seemed like Liam didn't want her to join the middle school group chat channel, and he didn't like Kenneth....During her business trip to West City these past few days, she had learned a lot from Alec. Not only did her investigative skills improve, but she also refined her communication skills.Upon coming back to Northorn City, Suzy had a two-day off, but she dedicated all her time to discussing Jeffrey's project with Alec.After finally clearing up the project and submitting it, she was just about to tidy up and go to the hospital to visit Melissa when a call from Melissa came in."Mom.""You're back in Northorn City, right?"Listening to her mother's voice, Suzy sensed something was off, and her tone was slightly stiff."Yeah, I finished up some company matters, and I'm planning to go to the hospital to see you now.""Then, we'll talk when you get here."With that, Melissa hung up abruptly.
