As if afraid that Suzy might fall in love, Wendy repeated several times, emphasizing that she should just sleep with him and not get emotionally involved.Eventually, the conversation shifted to Jeffrey."My cousin really likes you. If you're not considering it now, when you eventually want a boyfriend, you should definitely think about him."Suzy sighed. "I'm in this situation now. Don't you think I'm not good enough for your cousin?""Come on, don't kid yourself. He would be one lucky guy if he were to marry you. “Besides, there’s nothing wrong with what you did. It's just something adults do, it's only natural! My cousin is definitely not the type to care about such things."Suzy couldn't help but laugh at her friend's straightforwardness. Sometimes, she envied Wendy for being seemingly carefree, yet so clear-minded and comfortable with herself."Wendy, I know you're looking out for me, and your cousin is indeed a good person, but I'm just not in the right place for romance right
No one could afford to relax because they were afraid of being overthrown by others."Just relax and go. Since you have done nothing wrong, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Mr. Park doesn't mind." Suzy was speechless.That was the whole point – she was nervous because she had done him wrong!Suzy already felt suffocated, and the thought of being alone with Liam in a car, in such close quarters, was sure to be incredibly awkward, even sending shivers down her spine!"Mr. Park has cars in New Valley. I'll give you the keys when we arrive.""Well... actually, I'm not that great at driving. I hope I won’t cause any damage to Mr. Park's car."Alec smirked mysteriously and raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry! Mr. Park has over a dozen cars parked in his garage in New Valley alone. Even if you happen to damage one, no one will find out! And if it weren't for registration problems, you could even sell a couple."Suzy bit her lip, unsure whether to marvel at Liam's wealth or lament the re
She didn’t request to get her seat changed in the end because she was afraid of troubling the teacher. Since Suzy was young, she had always been afraid of inconveniencing others. Since her teachers had taken good care of her in school, Suzy felt she shouldn’t be demanding."Does this include you?" Alec asked, shifting his gaze to her face.Suzy shook her head repeatedly. "Not me. In junior high, besides attending classes, I had to work part-time in the morning and do night shifts at an internet café after evening study sessions. My schedule was even tighter than it is now!"Thinking back, maybe that's why her homeroom teacher felt comfortable assigning her to sit next to Liam! Otherwise, any other girl would probably have been too distracted to focus on studying."What? How old were you back in junior high?" "I gotta earn a living, no matter how old I am." Suzy shrugged. When it came to the hardships of the past, she was just grateful that she had persevered through them, rather t
Soon, Liam also spotted Suzy and began striding towards her with long strides.As he drew closer, Suzy felt an urge to turn and run away.No one accompanied him to back to the country, leaving him all alone.When Liam reached Suzy, he stood still, his presence overwhelming her almost to the point of suffocation.Suzy noticed him tightly pressing his thin lips together, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed. The white bandage on his handsome face still stood out, while he appeared somewhat displeased as if pondering how to scold her.Suzy instinctively took his luggage, her face stiff, unsure of what to say first.In the end, it was Liam who sighed lightly and spoke up."Why won't you take the initiative to call me when I didn’t contact you?"Suzy hadn't expected him to say this. She was stunned, unable to utter a word."Forget it, give me the car keys." Liam reached out his hand towards her, his tall figure completely blocking the light that should have fallen on her."Huh?"“Do you pl
"What?" Suzy still looked perplexed, completely out of the loop.To be honest, she even wondered if Liam had hit his head during the accident because he was saying things she couldn't understand."I’ll give you some more time. Let's head back to the hotel," Liam replied, his words laden with a sense of resignation.Suzy blinked, noticing his hesitation. Finally, mustering her courage, she asked directly, "Mr. Park, are you... planning to terminate the contract? You can tell me frankly; I won't object."She was absolutely willing to step aside for him and Sophia!Liam rubbed his brow, feeling the weight of uncertainty.Clive was right; he didn't know how he got himself into this mess.Even he couldn't fathom why he insisted on tasting this bitterness.…The car arrived at the hotel.Alec and several assistants were already there to greet them.Seeing Liam stepping out from the driver's seat, they were quite surprised."Suzy, weren't you supposed to... pick up Mr. Park?" How did Liam e
“Argh…”Suzy was lost in thought and ended up pressing too hard while putting on the medicine.Instead of aiding the healing process, she inadvertently caused Liam's nearly healed wound to bleed again!"You're bleeding! I'll go find a doctor for you!"Suzy was about to rush off in panic, but Liam quickly grasped her wrist and pulled her close with his other arm."I'm fine.""You're not fine! Your wound has reopened! I'm so sorry, so sorry... It wasn't on purpose!" She whirled around frantically, like a child who had done something wrong.Liam smiled helplessly, always at a loss when it came to her."It's just a small wound, don't worry.""But I—""Haven't you had dinner yet? I'll have the hotel send something up." He gently interrupted her, then suddenly coughed a bit awkwardly. "You should take a shower first."Suddenly, Suzy realized their close proximity could easily lead to... complications. And indeed, she noticed that his private part had turned hard..."Okay! I, I'll take a sh
They both lay in bed, with her feeling his large hand on her waist and listening to his steady breathing.Did this mean that the contract was still in effect?Tossing and turning for almost the entire night, Suzy finally drifted off to sleep, exhausted.The next day when she woke up, the man beside her was gone.Suzy walked out of the bedroom in her pajamas, and the breakfast left by Liam in the dining room seemed to suggest that the unpleasantness between them had never happened!Suddenly, her phone, which was placed beside the bed, rang.She hurried over to check, and it was Wendy."Did you see the message I sent you yesterday?" "Ah... I was too busy yesterday. Lots of things came up on the business trip.""I'm asking if the man you mentioned is Mr. Park." Wendy had been waiting for her reply the whole time!Suzy felt a pang of anxiety, "You're quite daring to think that.""So, it's not Mr. Park then?" Wendy visibly relaxed."You really scared me! I thought you didn't reply because
Below the building of Park Group in Northorn City.Sophia's wound hadn't been healing well because she went on a business trip shortly after her surgery.As a result, Clive immediately took her to the hospital for a dressing change and thorough examination after picking her up from the airport. They then returned to the office once it was confirmed that there were no major issues."Park Group won't go bankrupt just because you’re away for a day," Clive couldn't help but tease as he saw her rushing back to the office.Sophia smiled. "Liam established numerous connections with overseas executives during this trip. “They place high value on the strict adherence to contracts, and they also prioritize evaluating the legal department's capabilities during due diligence. I can't prevent him from pursuing these opportunities.""Does Park Group still need recognition from overseas partners for its current achievements?""Those who are eager to collaborate naturally don't need to, but if we enc
