It was Freya’s off day. Since Piper had a car, she drove Caprice and Freya to Carter Tech City first thing in the morning. After what happened the last time, the security guards had a deep impression of Caprice. Caprice barely had to mention her name before they opened the gates for her without a word. The car drove unimpeded to the building where Liam worked. Piper and Freya were astounded by the magnificent design of the building. They continued to gawk at it and muse for a moment before following Caprice in. Caprice went to the reception and politely informed the receptionist, "Hi, I'm here to see Mr. Liam. I believe I told him that I will be meeting him today." The receptionist asked her with a professional smile, "Miss Caprice, correct?” "Yes, Caprice." "Mr. Carter has instructed me to bring you to his office once you’ve arrived," the receptionist said while approaching Caprice, then she turned to Piper and Freya who stood behind Caprice. “Will the two ladi
Heather was his girlfriend, what if he would not believe her story and chose to take Heather’s side instead? Caprice stated, “I’ve known Piper and Trey for a decade. Anything that has to do with them directly concerns me as well.” “Just friends? That’s all?” Liam asked rather grimly. She spotted a strange look at him, not understanding the reasoning behind his question. She answered sincerely, "Yeah, I’m very close friends with them.” "Is that all there is to it?” he asked again in an interrogative tone, a sharp look gleaming in his eyes. She was thrown off by the question. "What else could there be?” She was close friends with them. What more was she supposed to say about it? Her eyes grew round and wide, filled with her usual naivety and innocence. Liam scowled. "Nothing." “Well…can you help us?" She looked at him expectantly. He informed her, "I already asked someone to talk to VV Entertainment. There should be news soon enough.” “You already sent someo
After she hung up, she went to join Liam on the couch again. Liam turned to her. “Have you told them?” “Yeap.” Liam rose from the couch. “Let’s go.” He promptly headed outside. Caprice obediently followed behind him. They went into the elevator which took them to the lobby. Then, they walked out of the building. His car was already parked by the entrance, and his driver was waiting for him. They entered the car. The car immediately jerked to motion. Meanwhile, there was a Mercedes-Benz parked on the other side of the road. Piper and Freya had just entered the car. Trey was driving. All three of them saw Caprice coming out of the building with Liam. Then they all watched as the car the duo entered drive off into the distance. Trey looked haggard and had dark circles under his eyes. He asked in a conflicted tone, "Is that the Liam Caprice keeps talking about?” Piper smacked her lips and answered, "Yeah." Even from this distance, she could fee
They turned to Caprice and Liam in unison. The duo went up to them. Caprice smiled brightly and greeted Odell and Sylvia first in a cheery voice, “Good afternoon, Uncle Odell and Aunt Sylvia.” Then, she turned to Isabel and Flint. “Hey Isabel, hey Flint.” “Hey!” Sylvia greeted her with the same warmth before taking a box out of the bag Odell was carrying. "Caprice, this is a special gift from your aunt. Open it! I hope you like it.” Caprice took the box and opened it and found a handmade figurine inside. It was a figurine of her favorite anime character. She wanted to buy it in the past, but it was a limited edition that was only sold in Fosterland. Her eyes lit up. She thanked Sylvia with a sharp thrill in her voice, "I love it! Thank you, Aunt Sylvia.” Sylvia gently patted her head. "You're welcome. Come in!” “Okay.” Sylvia and Odell lead the way. Flint went up to Caprice and observed the box in her hand, then he reached over and wanted to touch it. Befo
She spoke with a certain bluntness. Her eyes were opened wide and her expression was darling. Flint remarked with a squint, “It must be pretty boring.” Caprice refuted his point, "No, I hang out regularly with Frey. Piper and her brother came back a little while ago, so we hang out together every night.” Flint stirred. He glanced at Isabel before asking, "Who is Piper? Who is her brother?" “Piper is also my roommate. I’ve known her and her brother for a decade by this point. All of us are very close friends.” "Oh? Are they from Glanchester too?" “Yes." Flint continued to ask tidbits about Piper and Trey while Caprice answered everything with stark honesty. Until Sylvia interrupted Flint at one point, "Okay, enough talk about that. Why don’t you head up and see what your brother and father are talking about?” "Okay, Mom." Flint did as he was told. He rose and went upstairs. Sylvia turned to Isabel, "Isabel, let me talk to Caprice alone. Why don’t you go ups
Flint coughed dryly. Before anyone else could say anything, Liam spoke in his usual deep voice, “Nothing." Sylvia gathered herself. Isabel and Flint distractedly picked up the cutlery. Odell glanced at Liam and said, "Let's eat." Caprice was puzzled by the sudden stiffness, and she snuck a glance at Liam who was beside her. There was not a single trace of emotion on his face, so she figured that it was probably all in her head. She began eating. … Isabel had some work to do later that evening, thus she left after eating. Flint had to return to the laboratory as well and excused himself shortly after. Sylvia and Odell were still feeling jet-lagged from the overnight flight, and they needed some rest. After a short chat with Caprice, Sylvia turned to Liam. "Liam, take Caprice home." Liam grunted, “Hmm.” Sylvia added, “Make sure you come back after that. I have something to tell you." Liam turned quiet for a moment before saying, "Okay." With t
Piper was on the phone when Caprice entered the room. It sounded like she was on the phone with her parents. Freya was not around; she must have gone to work. Caprice climbed into her bed. Piper wrapped up the call shortly after and proceeded to snuggle into Caprice's bed as well. She cast a sincere look at Caprice. "Caprice, my Dad asked me to thank you for him. Thanks for helping us out of that terrible affair back there.” Caprice made a look and said gravely, "Piper, I’m the reason why VV Entertainment plotted against Trey.” Piper asked inexplicably, “Why would it be because of you?” "Heather's father is the chairman of VV Entertainment." "What?" Piper was taken aback by the news. Then, she considered for a moment, "Even if VV Entertainment belongs to her family, what does any of this have to do with you?” "Remember when you went to Emerald V with Frey?” “Yeah, what about it?” “Heather saw you two that day. After you left, she went and called her
Silence stewed for several seconds before Sherry spoke, “Syl, was this yours and Odell’s idea or was it Liam’s?” Sylvia smiled and told her, "I consulted Liam about this before coming to you.” It was evident that this was not only her and Odell's idea but Liam's as well. Sherry was glad to hear this. "Okay, I'll discuss it with John and Caprice later and get back to you." “Gotcha.” After hanging up the call, Sylvia turned to Odell with a smile. “Sherry says she will talk to John and Caprice about it before getting back to us with an answer.” Odell pursed his lips. “Alright.” Sylvia raised her concern, “I think she wants to see Liam and Caprice together as well. The only problem is whether John feels the same.” John treasured his daughter more than anything in the world since she was his only child after all. Odell approached Sylvia and wrapped his arms around her shoulders before pulling her into his arms, “They will say yes as long as it’s what Caprice wants
