Looking at Savannah Lea's dazed expression, Callan Handerson's red thin lips turned into a happy arc, and the corners of his mouth sank deep into his face. "Like I said, you are stupid! I didn't make the wrong comments on you!" Callan turned around and shook his head at Savannah as if he felt sympathetic towards her. He continued, "Do you know that your position is above those in the Secretary's Office? What the secretaries do is based on your decision and arrangement. Yet, you didn't delegate anything for them to do today. That is to say, they have not worked all day, and you can't get off work until now because you are doing 5 people's jobs by yourself!" "Haha!" He chuckled. The more Callan thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. He raised his hand and gently covered his lips. He chuckled twice and continued, "Well, in this case, I will have to praise you. You have had to do five people's jobs all by yourself. You must have been very efficient then, really."
It was raining cats and dogs when they got off work. Savannah Lea stood at the door as she prepared to leave after the rain was not as heavy. "Savannah." Liam Quentin held an umbrella and walked towards Savannah. The rain was too heavy, and Liam was getting soaked. "It's raining. I came to pick you up." "Liam." Savannah looked at Liam and she felt her heart becoming damp along with the heavy rain... Why was he here? This was the person she had been in love with for three years. He was finally willing to respond to her and to treat her nicer. It was impossible to say that she won't be attracted to him again However, the circumstances did not allow her to be back with him again. "Please leave now! Don't come searching for me anymore! We have nothing to do with each other already!" Savannah said firmly as she refused to look at Liam. "Savannah, please give me a chance. I'll take good care of you and treat you well!" Liam held Savannah's hand and begged
Savannah couldn't help but sneer. "Do you think you can look down on me and humiliate me just because you are rich?" Callan lowered his eyes and walked over to Savannah. He opened his arms and hugged her. "I'm not humiliating you, how can I humiliate you? I thought it would be better to be open and honest. If this deal can benefit us, why not?" Savannah tried hard to push Callan away and said righteously, "Benefit? Sorry, I don't see what benefits I can get! Callan, I know you are a powerful person, but you can't do anything to me! I am not going to sell my dignity! Did you bring me here so that you could force me into it?" Before he could explain, Savannah had already opened the door and rushed out in an instant. Callan did not stop her. He stood there with his hair drenched because of the rain. The water droplets dripped down along his fringe, across his nose bridge, and dampened his thin lips... "Boss, that's all for today's arrangements. Do you have any chan
Liam Quentin greeted her. "Savannah... I... I thought you wouldn't come." Savannah ignored him and went to the bed to see Mrs. Quentin. She was getting an infusion and it seemed that she had fallen asleep. Savannah lowered her voice and asked, "What's the problem? What did the doctor say? Is it serious?" "Her blood pressure increased all of a sudden because I angered her," explained Liam in a weak voice. "What?" Savannah was puzzled. "You're the one who pissed her off? What did you do to make Auntie so angry? You know she's in poor health, so couldn't you be more considerate?" Liam was waiting for Savannah to say what she just did, hence, he took the opportunity to hold Savannah's hand tightly and prayed, "I told my mother that I made a mistake and drove you away... She got so angry that her blood pressure increased! She also said that if I don't get you back, she would disown me!" "Let go..." Savannah tried to push him away and frowned. Mrs. Quentin
It was not a phone call from Liam Quentin and the screen did not display a caller ID. Moreover, it was not a mobile number, but a landline number instead. "Hello?" Savannah Lea picked up the call in confusion, but it was certainly Liam's voice. "Savannah?" Liam's voice sounded different from his usual. He seemed extra nervous and afriad. "Liam, it's me... What's wrong with you? What happened?" Savannah walked out of the lounge and went out to answer the phone. It turned out that he had gotten into trouble. It had just been two short weeks since she saw him. Liam told Savannah everything in a trembling tone. Apparently, something had happened to his company. Two of his seniors who were his business partners had taken away all the funds and ran away! The two seniors were not citizens of Texas, so Liam had to be responsible for the company's loan. Now that the two seniors had run away with the money, it meant that the company was over, and all the debts had t
"Liam, slow down. Be careful of what's under your feet." Savannah Lea warned. Savannah looked carefully as they walked and strenuously carried Liam Quentin out of the construction site. Not long after they walked out, a row of black Bentleys came from the main road ahead, followed by a Rolls Royce. Savannah stopped while supporting Liam. The row of cars suddenly braked and stopped in front of her. First, a group of bodyguards in black got out of the car. Then, Nick Jonah got out of the car and walked towards her. "Miss Lea, the President was worried and decided to come and have a look. Are you all right?" Savannah looked at the Rolls-Royce behind her and did not understand why Callan Handerson had come. Was he here to see how miserable Liam was? Did he come to see a joke? However, with Liam's condition, he must be sent to the hospital immediately. She could care less about Callan's intentions. "Mr. Jonah, please help me. Liam, he... is injured!"
Savannah Lea gave it a thought. With such a huge debt behind her back, she'd have to worry about the loan sharks all the time, which meant that the matter couldn't be delayed anymore. The one person she could think of that would help her, was none other than her father, Walden George. She had actually decided to cut off all ties with Walden, but for the sake of Liam Quentin's life, she decided that she'd beg for his help again. Eight million dollars was not a small amount of money, but someone like Walden must have it in possession. The only thing Savannah was worried about, was how she would approach him. This time around, Savannah went straight to visit the George Family. It was different from the 150,000 dollars that she asked for last time, eight million dollars might be overboard, but there was no way of hiding the truth from her stepmother, Hilda Kent, anymore. Savannah decided to trade her dignity for Liam's life. When she arrived at the George family est
"Liar, liar..." Savannah Lea was caught in Callan Handerson's embrace. As if she had lost her mind, she kept on repeating the word 'liar' over and over again. "What are you saying?" Callan lowered his head and leaned towards her lips. He tried to hear the words coming out of her mouth, then, a subtle smile formed on his lips. "Who are you scolding? I don't think that I've ever lied to you, instead, I think it was the other way around." Savannah closed her eyes and her tears escaped again. "He lied to me! How could he have lied to me! How can he just leave me alone like this?" Savannah covered her face with her hands and cried painfully, "Why did he do it? I promised him that I would always be there for him! Why, why did he do this to me?" Her mindless words earned a sneer from Callan. He pulled her hands away from covering her face and growled in his low voice, "Now that you realize how he treated you, what's the point in saying all this? What's wrong with you?
