Liam stopped. Caprice jerked away and fell over, landing on the ground with a soft thud. She saw her father standing in front of the window. Her cheeks were burning. She covered her face with her hands and did not even bother to pick herself off the ground. For the first time, she could spot a hint of nerves in Liam’s usually cool and composed expression. It went away as quickly as it came. After he recomposed himself, he went to Caprice and carried her in his arms. He turned to John and spoke solemnly, "Uncle Stockton, Caprice hit her head. I’ll carry her back to her room.” John cast a sharp look at him with a grunt, “Hm.” With that, Liam carried Caprice in his arms and started to walk away. Once they were out of the courtyard, she removed her hands from her face. She instantly met Liam’s eyes. He was looking down at her. He must have seen how rattled she had become, but he wore a faint smile. It looked like he was holding back laughter. Caprice shot a

Liam cast a blank look at her before taking the towel and drying his face with it. Then, he gently ruffled her hair. "Did I scare you back there?” Caprice shook her head. "No." She was slightly startled, but not to the point of being scared. Liam smiled faintly. "Sit down. Let me see your head.” Caprice did as she was told and sat down on a nearby chair. He delicately parted her hair with his slender fingers and studiously inspected the spot where she had just bumped her head when she was lurking outside the study. Caprice pursed her lips into a thin smile and told him, "Liam, I'm fine. It doesn’t even hurt anymore.” He seemed relieved. "Yeah." There was some slight redness, but there was no wound. After watching him return to his usual demeanor, she asked, “What happened to you back there?” It looked like he wanted to devour her whole. “Nothing.” After a pause, he added, "It's just… a common reaction from a man.” A common reaction from a man? Wha

After a while, she received a response from Liam. Instead of sending her a text, he gave her a video call. Her eyes shone with joy as she promptly accepted the video call. His charming and handsome face, which she had been missing for so long, showed up on the display. She greeted him with a brilliant smile, “Hey, Liam, finished with work already?” “Almost.” Liam leaned against his chair and asked with a sparkle in his eyes, “What have you been up to today?” “Same old, same old,” she remarked, then added shyly, “And I’ve been thinking about you.” It was true—she had been thinking about him. Something stirred in Liam’s eyes, and a shadow of a smile surfaced on his lips. “I’ll visit you in a few days.” Caprice was glad to hear this. “Sure!” She could fairly hear the voice of his assistant in the background. It sounded like the assistant was relaying a report. She said mindfully, “I’ll let you get back to work.” “Alright, make sure you don’t stay up late

John suddenly fell into a pensive silence, then he said curtly, “I’ll have one of my staff talk to you about it.” “Alright.” After a momentary pause, Liam remarked, “Uncle Stockton, I have a certain candidate in mind that could handle the project for you.” John asked suspiciously, “Who would that be?” Liam proposed, "Caprice." John fell silent. Meanwhile, Sherry who was seated in the car with him on their way back home noticed the queer expression on his face. She turned to him and asked perplexedly, “What happened?” John grinned, seemingly amused by the suggestion. He gave Sherry a look to say that he would tell her about it after the call, then he answered Liam, “Sure.” It was about time his daughter started getting involved with the family business. He knew that Liam had certain ulterior purposes behind this suggestion, but it was a good chance for Caprice to pick up some experience nonetheless. With that, he hung up. Sherry cast a strange look at him.

After breakfast, Caprice and John arrived at the Stockton Corporation headquarters. John personally walked her into the department in charge of the project. He made sure to leave behind a message with the supervisor before leaving. Soon, a personal desk was assigned to Caprice. Seated to her left and right were two senior members of the team, and they were going to be her assistants going forward. They were both in their thirties, one was a man named Logan, and the other a lady named Brianne. They seemed very friendly. It was only right that they would be very cordial with her. They were dealing with the future successor of the corporation after all. Most of the preliminary details of the joint project with Carter Tech City had been worked out. Brianne handed Caprice a stack of documents with the relevant information. Then, she went through everything along with Logan and made sure to highlight certain key phrases as well as some industry lingo that Caprice may be unf

“Alright, see you!” Caprice smiled briskly before hanging up. She then turned to Brianne. “Hey, Brianne, could you give me a rundown of the general procedures of a joint project?” Although the joint project with Carter Tech City was in ways nothing more than a formality, she still wanted to make sure she took it seriously. … It turned out that things were more tedious than she expected, and many kinks needed to be worked out. Even before she got involved, the team had already gotten started on the preliminary stages in preparation for adopting Carter Tech City’s new gadget into the market. When Liam arrived tomorrow, she would have to meet him with Brianne and Logan and have him sign the letter of intent, then they had to perform a site survey. All in all, the preliminary process of the project would take at least a month. The day passed in the blink of an eye. By the time she finished sorting out the work for the day, it was already dark outside. The office

It was a dreamless night. Knowing that Liam would be coming, she woke up the next day before dawn even broke. After she washed, she stayed inside the dressing area for a while and debated on what to wear. She ended up opting for a formal shirt paired with a fitted skirt with a coat thrown on top. She combed her hair neatly behind her ears. With that, she walked out of the dressing area, ready for the day. Brianne and Logan had already supplied the required documents to her. All she needed to do was to hand them over to Liam and brief him about the details. At around ten, the receptionist informed her that Liam had arrived. She rose immediately and went to the VIP room with Logan and Brianne. The VIP room was on the second floor. They took the elevator, and it took five minutes for them to get there. Upon opening the door, the bright, brilliant ceiling lights flashed in their face. They saw a man in a leather jacket seated on the couch. Her eyes shone. Her fir

Liam turned to Caprice with a faint smile. "Miss Stockton, do you have anything you’d like to add?” "No, that’s all for now.” The proposal had been essentially rejected, and he had already laid out what to do next, thus there was nothing left for her to add. She sighed and got up, ready to leave. “One second.” Liam stopped her. She turned to him. "Is there anything else you need, President Carter?” "There is something else I need to speak to you about in private,” he remarked. Caprice did not think much of it and promptly turned to Brianne and Logan. “I’ll talk to you two later.” With a firm nod, the two went outside. Liam gave Mitch a look as well. Mitch escorted the other two assistants out and excused themselves. Now that they were all gone, Caprice turned to face Liam again. She wondered what it was that he needed to tell her. He was already standing by the time she turned to face him. He posed himself right in front of her, so he only needed to
