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
Caprice was caught off guard by the text. She did not expect Moses to be waiting for her outside. She replied, “Moses, sorry I didn’t reply earlier. I have something else to do later, I can’t have lunch with you.” Moses replied almost instantly, “Alright. Are you free tonight?” “Nope. Let’s talk when the semester starts.” “Alright. See you.” When Caprice put away her phone, she noticed Liam had been watching her from the side. He managed to catch a glimpse of the conversation. “Who is he?” Caprice innocently assumed he was just asking out of curiosity. She said, “He’s a senior of mine at university. He also hired me for my first summer job.” A momentary silence later, Liam asked, “Why is he waiting for you outside?” No one should be able to enter Carter Tech District at this hour. Feeling strange, Caprice asked, “He came earlier. You didn’t know?” “What’s his name?” “Moses Stewart. He said Carter Tech District is interested in one of his projects, so he came t
“I’m okay,” Caprice said instinctively. Then, a thought rushed into her mind and she said, “But I’m not happy. You have to make it up to me.” Liam narrowed his eyes. “What do you want?” He continued to speak in his alluring voice. Caprice pursed her lips and then said, “Come closer.” Liam moved closer to her face. His handsome face was less than an inch away from hers. Caprice then kissed him on the cheek before she turned and ran toward the car. Liam grinned. He unintentionally glanced at the car beside him before he went after Caprice. The driver and the bodyguards were waiting for them in the car. The bodyguards entered the car after them and the driver drove them out of the parking lot. Moses, on the other hand, was stunned in his car. He stared at the MPV as it left his sight and even with it gone, he could not recover his composure. The scene of Liam rubbing Caprice’s forehead and Caprice kissing Liam on the cheek replayed in his head over and over again.
Before Caprice could react, he pulled his hands back and released her. He flipped to the side and sat down on the grassfield. Caprice followed and sat herself up. Just when she wanted to ask what happened, she realized her collar had opened up after all the action. Her face blushed and immediately covered her collar. Liam frowned. He looked at her with a hint of lust in his eyes and said, “Caprice, I…” He did it on purpose, but when he saw her innocent and adorable face, he suddenly lost his words. Caprice widened her eyes. It was her first time seeing him speechless. She pursed her lips and sat closer to him. She said, “It’s okay.” They were a couple, so kissing and fooling around were normal things to do. Freya told her a lot about what couples should do while they were dating, so she knew how to react. It was just a collar. Even if he wanted to strip her clean, it was fine. With this thought in mind, Caprice lowered her hands and said to him, “We’re going to
The three girls ridiculed and teased her. Freya then asked, “Are you going to see Liam later tonight?” “Nope. I’m going back to the dorm with you guys. I have to go home tomorrow,” Caprice said. Freya was surprised. “You came all the way to Westchester but you’re not spending the night with Liam?” She even teased Caprice with some lewd gestures. Caprice was more embarrassed than before. “We’re not that far yet.” Freya clicked her tongue. “I see Liam is a good boy huh.” Lana nodded in agreement. Piper then asked, “What base are you guys on now? Other than kissing and holding hands, what else did you two do?” Caprice immediately thought of the steamy scene back at the low-gravity grassfield. Her face blushed. She stammered out of embarrassment, “N-Nothing else.” “Caprice, you’re stammering.” “Why is your face red?” “You’re lying.” The three of them pressured her to reveal the truth. Caprice immediately fled the scene. Her friends chased her and continued t
Moses turned around and followed Kenneth and the others out. They stopped by the cashier before leaving to pay the bill, then they walked outside. Caprice withdrew her gaze from them and noticed her friends staring at her intently. She asked suspiciously, "What are you girls looking at?” “Nothing." The three of them shook their heads in unison. Freya suddenly expressed poignantly, “Moses is a good man. What a shame.” Lana nodded in agreement. Caprice thought nothing of it. She knew that Moses was interested in her, but she already belonged to someone else. Moses was a good man, and she was sure there he would manage to find the perfect partner for him in the future. There was no need to feel sorry for him. … After the meal, Caprice and her friends went to the cashier to settle the bill. Just as Caprice reached for her phone and prepared to pay the bill, the cashier suddenly asked, “You girls are seated at table six near the entrance, correct?” Freya
Liam must be busy. Some time passed before he replied, “Yeah. Have you gotten back to the dorm with your friends?” Caprice replied, “We just got back from the restaurant a while ago. I’m already resting in bed.” To prove that she was telling the truth, she took a flattering picture of herself and sent it to Liam. Liam replied, “Good, make sure you get enough rest.” Caprice knew that he had never been a talkative man and was not keen on keeping the conversation going, but it was barely ten o’clock, and it was far too early to sleep. With this in mind, she texted him, “Liam, send me your picture too.” She still did not have a picture of him on her phone. However, after the text was sent, there was no response. Even after some time had passed, it was still radio silence on the other end. She frowned and was just about to fall into a sullen state when a picture popped up on the screen. It was Liam. He had taken a picture of his reflection in the mirror. His appea
He was very aware of Heather’s hostility toward Caprice. He had a feeling that Heather only came to him with this proposal because she wanted Liam for herself. The only thing he was unsure of was how she came to know about his feelings for Caprice. Heather frowned sharply. She did not expect Moses to figure out her true intentions right away. Furthermore, it looked like he knew about Caprice and Liam. Her eyes flickered with shock a few times. Immediately after that, she fixed a smug smile on her lips again and announced, “You’re only partially right. I wasn’t only trying to match you with Caprice. I’m also trying to get her to leave that man who is such a horrible match for her.” Moses did not appreciate the contempt Heather had for Caprice in her tone, but he had to admit she made a good point. Apart from her good looks, Caprice was not particularly remarkable as far as her capabilities went. Besides, her family background did not appear to be anything out of the ordin
