In the spacious conference room, a man was sitting at the head of the table. He was handsome with a cold demeanor. He was like an elegant rose perched on a cliff, charming but dangerous. The others sitting at the table were working diligently. They were carrying out their duties carefully. They were afraid of attracting the attention of the man at the head of the table. They didn't know if he would send someone to the mines of Swaharia if they looked at him the wrong way.It was unclear if the man was in a bad mood or not. He had already sent five or six upper management members to remote locations. Lincoln noticed that Liam looked at his phone again. He frowned like he was expecting a call. It was the 19th time he had looked at his phone since the meeting had begun. During a break in the meeting, Lincoln approached Liam and asked softly, "Sir, are you waiting for a call?"Unexpectedly, he was met with Liam's piercing gaze. He was like a lion looking at his prey. Lincoln fe
Lana yelped in surprise. She couldn't believe Xander would offer to become her man. It was probably the dream of every female fan. No woman could handle their idol saying such suggestive words to them. Lana did understand that Xander was someone who spent a lot of time in all sorts of shows. He was probably joking when he said that. Lana felt it was a pity that she couldn't take him seriously. She quickly calmed down and realized she had made a fool of herself. Lana collected herself and said jokingly, "Sure! Don't forget to bring your money and assets and come to me."Xander was taken aback by Lana's words. Then, his gaze became intense, and he asked, "Really?"Lana laughed and said, "Of course!" Xander smiled. Lana proceeded to teach Xander everything she knew about making pasta. When the finished product came out, Xander was so shocked by its taste he was at a loss for words. Xander, who was on a strict diet as an actor, ate three whole plates of pasta. If his manage
"Lana, I have never met anyone as heartless as you."One moment, she was so passionately in love with him, and the next moment, she could cut all ties with him.This was too much even for Liam, who was known for his ruthlessness."I'm heartless, you say?" Lana snickered. "You're the heartless one." How shameless would Liam be to date her even though he had a child with someone else?Liam was disheartened to see how unyielding Lana remained. "Lana, keep in mind what you said to me today.""Don't worry," Lana firmly replied. "I know what I said."Liam was upset, but he didn't know how to persuade Lana. He didn't expect his first relationship to be so unforgettable.In the end, Liam left with his dignity intact. Preserving his dignity was the last bit of respect he could show himself.When Nadia came out of the bedroom, she realized Liam had already left. She could tell from Lana's sorrowful expression that her discussion with Liam had ended badly."Did you guys argue?" she asked
Now that Lana thought about it carefully, she realized that Xander had long since shown signs of being interested in her. She only didn't notice it back then because she was involved with Liam.Why would a good guy like Xander openly speak up for her on Twitter when she was entangled in controversies?After all, Xander used to be the type of person who refused to help by speaking up about an incident where the director sexually harassed his female co-stars on the same set.Lana's silence made Xander on the other end of the phone quite nervous."Lana, I know that I'm not perfect, but I will try to become perfect for you. How do you know whether we are compatible or not if we don't give it a try?"Lana only got quieter at those words.Xander had never done something so daring in his 32 years of life. Not wanting to regret his actions, he took a step back and began discussing with Lana."A dating reality show contacted me not long ago. You know I never appear in reality shows. Howe
It was Starlight Bar, the biggest bar in Gilsbury.Only the most prominent figures of Gilsbury came to this establishment.Of course, that was also due to the bar's excellent service. Whenever something happened to the big shots here, the bar's owner would have their backs. It was his loyalty that attracted even more people to spend their money here."You are here, Mr. Liam. Your private room is ready," the receptionist welcomed Liam as soon as he walked in.Due to Liam's striking appearance, he would attract too much attention when he sat in the common area. Even the manager couldn't stand it.To allow Liam to drink in peace, the bar had built a private room designated for him.The bar's hospitality was also why this was the only place Liam would go to when he wanted to drink.Because of the attentive and non-gossipy service, Liam was finally in a slightly better mood. He rarely expressed his gratitude, but he surprisingly uttered a "thank you" tonight.Compared to the brigh
After Carol left, Chris still had something he wanted to say to Liam. Even so, Liam coldly ended the video call. Ever since Chris decided to get engaged to Carol, Liam no longer viewed him as his friend. Anyone with common sense could tell what kind of woman Carol was.Chris, on the other hand, fell for her lies. After all, Carol had always wanted to marry Liam. But then, she swiftly got engaged to Chris instead. She was a schemer, and only Chris would cherish her like a treasure. Having a childhood friend like him made Liam feel ashamed.As he lay on the huge bed, Liam's mind was full of Lana. Only during moments like this would he admit that Lana was indispensable in his life. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a round object. It was a good luck charm. The fine patterns on the good luck charm had been gradually worn away over the years due to constant touch. This left it with a smooth and sleek surface. Liam closed his eyes and carefully stroked the good luck
Lana had once again begun to seclude herself in her office. Her presence was nowhere to be found for most of the day. Nobody knew what she was up to. The last time she was this busy, she launched a custom-made perfume store. Now that she was at it again, many people were speculating if she was working on another major project.After all, Lana seemed capable of anything in everyone's eyes. Even if she were to build a satellite rocket, no one would be surprised. "Lana, we've got a problem!" The manager suddenly rushed in. As soon as Lana heard her voice, she started to have a headache. Whenever the manager stormed in shouting, it was never good news.As Lana expected, the manager said, "We have a very demanding customer in the spa. She has tried all the masseuses, and she's still not satisfied. Now she's insisting on your personal attention.""She's that arrogant?" Lana asked.The customers who come to her spa for services all come from prestigious backgrounds. They usually spo
"Are there really so many of them?" Rosa asked in disbelief. Lana nodded as she looked at Rosa's skeptical expression. "They all claim to be the girlfriends of the Garrison family heir." In other words, Rosa's attempt to show off had failed!However, even if it failed, it didn't mean she couldn't become the Garrison family heir's girlfriend for real. After all, her family background spoke for itself. She was confident the other customers couldn't match her aristocratic background. Lana finished the massage and promptly brought the POS machine. Rosa was totally irritated by Lana's action. "Lana, are you afraid I can't afford it?"Lana was straightforward and replied, "Yes!" She understood better than anyone else that there was indeed a difference between the presidential family and business families. To some extent, the presidential family didn't have the same financial freedom as the business families.Rosa was already filled with regret over the money she had spent that
