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
Fortunately, his movements were very gentle. Caprice quickly moved past the shock. She hugged him tightly and craned her head up. She responded to his passionate kisses with her own inexperienced kisses. At one point, he suddenly removed his lips from hers and pressed her head into his chest. Caprice clung to him like she was going to melt into him. She could not pry herself free and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” Why did he suddenly stop kissing her? She was just getting in the mood. Liam took a few deep breaths. He took his time getting the tempo of his breathing back to normal before he answered, “Nothing, I’m fine.” After a pause, he suddenly proposed, "Caprice, let's get engaged." Caprice made a start, then she turned up to look at him. He had removed his palm from the back of her head at one point. The moment she looked up, she stared into the glow in his eyes. On the outside, he may look cool and imposing, but what was on the inside was a complete
Lunch went by peacefully. Caprice then headed to the construction site, where the location was set by her father. Caprice was not too familiar with the collaboration with Carter Tech District and the procedures, so she followed Liam throughout the entire visit and listened to his explanation. Brianne and Logan were responsible for taking notes. Several hours went by in the blink of an eye. After Liam’s subordinates had explained everything and brought them to visit every part of the site, Caprice and Liam left. Liam suddenly stopped and said to Mitch and the two of them, “You guys head back to the hotel first.” His assistant and subordinates nodded and left. Brianne and Logan exchanged a quick gaze and then said to Caprice, “Caprice, we should go back to the office to compile everything as well. See you soon.” Caprice nodded. “Okay. See you.” The two of them left as well. Caprice then looked at Liam. “Liam, are you going back to Westchester today?” Liam glanced
Liam had other matters to attend to at night, so after fooling around with Caprice for a while, he saw her off. Later that day, Caprice returned to the company and met up with Brianne and Logan to redo the proposal. Caprice was not a competitive or proud person in life, but when her proposal, which she did with all her heart, was rejected, she still felt defeated. Therefore, she was determined to come up with a better proposal. Even if it could not win praises, she did not want it to be as bad as the first one. She dedicated herself to the process. From the planning to the details, she was involved in every part of the proposal. The busy days went by in the blink of an eye. A week had passed since then. With Brianne and Logan’s help, Caprice managed to come up with a complete proposal without any template. After double-checking it, she emailed the softcopy to Liam at Westchester. Then, she added a little text of her own beneath the attachment. “Liam, I’ve finished t
Caprice saw him sipping on his cup of water and nothing else. Now that her proposal had been accepted, they could proceed with signing the contract. Since Liam was too busy to go to Glanchester, Caprice said, “Liam, are you free next Monday? I’ll go meet you and we can proceed with the contract signing.” Liam put his cup of water down and said, “Sure.” “Okay! I’ll be going offline now. You better rest earlier.” Liam loosened his collar and said, “Okay.” Just when Caprice wanted to end the call, she accidentally tapped on the little window that showed her side of the call. When the little window enlarged, she saw her loosened collar and her chest showing. Her eyes widened in shock. She bolted up immediately. She covered her collar with one hand and held the phone with the other. She looked at Liam on the screen with a blush-stained face. “Liam, did you…see it?” Liam awkwardly cleared his throat. “See what?” Caprice glared at him. He must have seen her chest! She
Caprice was embarrassed when she saw Freya’s question. She sent a sticker of punching someone in the face and then replied, “We kissed, but that’s it.” Lana typed. “Thank goodness! Our Caprice is finally advancing into adulthood!” Freya typed. “Kiss? That’s it? Is Liam’s down there even working?” Caprice was rendered speechless. She furiously typed on her phone and texted, “It’s working! But we don’t see each other often and he respects me.” Liam was a gentleman and not someone who would think using their lower body. Lana typed. “Hahaha! Caprice got nervous! Stop teasing her, Freya.” “I’m just saying,” Freya replied. Caprice simply sent a bored emoji as a reply. Piper then asked, “Caprice, school is starting in two weeks. When are you coming back?” Freya echoed, “Yeah. Lana is back already. When are you coming back?” Caprice knew her roommates missed her. She chuckled and replied, “I think a few more days, but I’ll be going to Westchester next Monday and we can
However, if Caprice came from a wealthy background, her friends would at least speak about it. Now, all Heather heard was her friends talking about how beautiful she was and nothing else. It seemed like Caprice was not someone with a background. Heather stayed a little longer and still did not get anything useful. She glared at the girls contemptuously before she left. …On Monday morning, Caprice went to the office to meet with Brianne and Logan. After they prepared the contract and necessary documents, they took a ride to Carter Tech District. Westchester was blessed with amazing weather. The sun pierced the clouds and shed its glory across the city. Both Brianne and Logan were already amazed by Carter Tech District before they entered. They sized up the entrance in awe. Logan exclaimed, “I’ve only seen pictures of this place. The real thing is much more astonishing.” Brianne even took pictures with her phone. Caprice brought the two of them inside. The securit
Right before Caprice could reply, the meeting room’s door opened. Brianne and Logan bolted up instantly. Caprice put her phone away and looked at the entrance. The man came in with his handsome suit. His deep eyes looked calm and emotionless but emanated a strong aura. Caprice unconsciously sat up straight and smiled at him. “Good morning, Mr. Carter.” Liam’s cool eyes showed a hint of warmth at her. He smiled back and sat opposite her. Both sides exchanged contracts and began signing. …At the same time in the open parking lot outside, Moses just got into his car. He leaned back and stared at the building. Kenneth hugged the contract that they signed with Carter Tech District and said, “I bet she’s here to see Mr. Carter. I don’t think she has the time to have lunch with us. Why don’t we do a rain check?” He was eager to share the news with Jonathan and the others back home. Moses’ eyes continued to stare at the entrance of the building. “She doesn’t seem like s
