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
Caprice made a show of collapsing into Sherry’s arm and pretending to fall asleep. John and Sherry exchanged a weak smile. After driving for another half an hour, they arrived at a restaurant. It was one of Caprice’s favorite restaurants. They entered a box and had a wonderful dinner, stuffing their stomachs with delicious food. After the meal, they all went home together. On the way home, Caprice fell asleep halfway through the drive. A combination of her relaxed mood after finally being finished with work and her exhaustion made her sleep like a log. She was squeezed between Sherry and John and slumped against John's shoulder, using him as a pillow. Sherry gently brushed the side of her daughter’s cheeks with her fingers. After making sure that she had indeed fallen asleep, she smiled and turned to John, speaking in a low voice, "How was her performance at work?” “She did a great job.” John looked dotingly at her daughter’s sleeping expression and elaborated, “Sh
She was not in the mood to entertain Heather and briskly walked past her. “Hey, Caprice,” Heather called after her in a mocking friendly voice. The people gawking at Heather immediately directed their attention to Caprice. Caprice could no longer ignore her presence. She turned to greet her, imitating her cheap smile the entire while. “Hey, Heather, what brings you here?" Heather's mouth suddenly stiffened. She briskly approached Caprice and greeted her with an unnatural warmth, "I just figured I’d come to see you since I haven’t seen you in a while. I was beginning to miss you!” Caprice was struck speechless. How did she manage to say things like this without throwing up? Did she have amnesia? Did she already forget about what happened the last time they met when she shoved her into the pool? She answered crossly, without the least bit of friendliness, "That's too bad. I was just on my way to see Liam. I don’t have time to catch up with you.” She mentioned
Caprice did not linger. She walked out the gate and called a cab to take her to Carter Tech City. She completely discarded what Heather told her to the back of her mind. She could hardly be bothered; all she cared about was seeing Liam as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Heather sat inside her car and spied on the taxi Caprice just hailed. She never planned to make the trip herself to confront Caprice. This was all Moses’ fault. The buffoon of a man who did not know what was good for him and refused to cooperate with her. Fortunately, it seemed like she successfully riled Caprice up. She seemed to be in a rush to get to Carter Tech City. Was she going to Liam to beg him to take her with him to this weekend’s party? Heather snorted scornfully. If Liam refused, they would probably get into a fight. On the other hand, if he did bring her along, it would certainly spice things up. She chuckled to herself, impressed by her deviousness. She was already in cahoots with man
