"Karl, please help me get more gigs. I'm willing to try anything as long as I can earn money!"When Amelia spoke these words, she felt very helpless. But if she didn't work harder, she would never be able to fill that endless hole called David.Sometimes, she even wanted to be a little selfish and ignore him completely. But Amelia couldn't bear to abandon her grandparents.The show where she partnered up with Oscar would be aired after Christmas.During that period, Eric never came to see her again and Amelia felt relieved about it. The city could only be so huge. Not to mention, they worked at the same company too.Today, after Amelia talked to Karl at the company office, she decided to leave. She then waited for the elevator to arrive so that she could go downstairs.When the elevator arrived and the doors opened, she saw a familiar face. But the person's cold expression had replaced the usual gentle smile.By the looks of it, Eric didn't expect to see Amelia at the company
Amelia's expression shifted. She pulled up to the side of the road and quickly took out her phone.As expected, Karl was telling the truth. The scandal between her and Eric got onto the trending page again.More shockingly, Ava, who had been silent for a while, suddenly popped up again."In the end, I lost to someone who got their position through unofficial means."Ava didn't state who the person was, but she had voiced out at such a sensitive moment. Even if she didn't say who it was, everyone knew who she was referring to anyway.Moreover, there was the grudge of "one human life" between them.Before Amelia could respond, Ember came calling right away.Seeing the name displayed on her phone, Amelia felt a little scared to answer the call.She wondered if it was just her, but the more she refused to answer it, the more urgent the ringtone sounded.While Amelia was hesitating, the call cut off. She let out a sigh of relief, but at the next moment, her phone started ringin
Within a minute, Amelia's phone started ringing like crazy. But Amelia ignored it.She sobbed aloud, feeling despair in her heart. She even thought about completely ending a certain matter.Later on, she saw another message from Alex. As she read the words, she could imagine how anxious Alex was at that moment."Lia, I was in a bad mood today, so forget the nonsense I said just now. As long as you're Mrs. Prescott, he belongs to you. No one can take him away from you!"Amelia knew that Alex had realized that she was being too straightforward. Alex feared that it might hurt Amelia, so she hastily called to explain.Amelia didn't call back. Instead, she only replied with a short message—"I know".She didn't even add any punctuation.Liam began to avoid going home again. Faced with May's hesitant expression, Amelia could only pretend as if she didn't see it.On the Internet, the scandals about her and Eric had been taken down on the night itself. Amelia didn't ask who took it
"Who's Liam? How great can he be? Lia didn't even fancy someone like Eric. Liam is out of the question!"Angered by the behavior of the two people opposite them, Alex put on an intimidating look as well. She was quite surprised to see that Liam had friends like this.Regardless of how Liam viewed Amelia right now, his friends still looked down on her. This made Alex a little mad at Liam. She had just changed her opinion of him a while ago, but now, it was going back to square one.Amelia didn't comment on Alex's words. Instead, she smiled in acknowledgment. It was a clear sign that she silently agreed."Amelia, I know that you're mad because Liam was nice to me. But you can't let your friend humiliate him just because of this! Or do you think the same as well? Did you get close to Liam not because you loved him, but because you had ulterior motives?" Hannah had an accusing look on her face as she spoke up for Liam.Amelia chuckled. "You're on such good terms with Liam. Didn't he
"What are you doing?" A cold voice rang out. Amelia and Alex exchanged glances. They didn't expect that person to appear.He also seemed to be dissatisfied with Brandon's actions."Liam, Amelia hit Brandon just now. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have come here to shop, and I shouldn't have appeared in front of Amelia. Quickly talk to Amelia. Tell her not to hit Brandon again," Hannah cried.She ran over to Liam. Her eyes were red, and she was tearing up from anxiety.When Alex heard what Hannah said, she laughed. "Brandon's a tall and big man. How can a weak woman like Lia bully him?""Brandon never hits women. You're bullying Brandon because you know he won't hit you!" Hannah said.Amelia smiled when she heard that. Hannah was like a culprit accusing their victim.But she didn't retort. After all, she had indeed hit Brandon.Liam glanced at Amelia. He saw a faint smile on her face as she stood with Alex, but she didn't look in his direction at all. Instead, Alex glared at
"Are we continuing our shopping, Lia?" Alex looked at Amelia worriedly. Liam was going too far. How could he be so intimate with Hannah in front of Amelia?Even worse, he never spoke a word to Amelia!Amelia smiled nonchalantly. "Of course. We still have to buy shoes and then eat something nice, right? I just got my pay, and I promised to treat you to a meal. I can't break my promise!"Amelia had received money from the filming gig from the last time. So the first thing Amelia did was to ask Alex out for a meal to celebrate."Alright, let's keep going then. The people who don't matter should get lost!" Alex looked bold and generous as she dragged Amelia into a mall nearby.Meanwhile, Liam was distracted as he drove Hannah to the hospital. He had almost run the red light. After Hannah reminded him about it, he pulled up by the road and undid his seatbelt."Hannie, I forgot that I had some wine today. I can't drive. I'll ask Gio to send you to the hospital," he said.Hannah glan
At Riverbay Residence, Liam suddenly felt a little panicky as he stood in front of the closed door.He was holding a rectangular box in his hands. He gripped the box tightly, but ultimately, he didn't knock on the door.Liam wondered how long it had been since they met and talked properly.He couldn't quite remember.He knew that it hadn't been that long, but he also felt as if it were forever ago."Mr. Prescott, are you looking for Madam?" May asked.Seeing Liam standing in front of Amelia's room, May had a puzzled look on her face. "Madam went out soon after she came back."Liam froze. When he was in the mall, he was slightly delayed because he was buying the necklace. But when he went to the shoe store, she was still there.He then watched her drive in the direction of home. Then, he deliberately came back half an hour later. He didn't see Amelia's car on the road on his way back either.In addition, Liam checked before he came in. Amelia's car was still parked in the g
When Amelia came back, May was still watching TV in the living room. Seeing that Amelia had returned, May hastily whispered, "Mr. Prescott came back." Then, she nodded toward the second floor. "As soon as he came back, he stood at the door of your room. I don't know how long he stood there. If I hadn't seen him and made him feel embarrassed, he would've stood there until you came back."Amelia raised an eyebrow. She was a little surprised at what May said.Noticing that she didn't seem to believe it, May continued, "He probably wanted to apologize to you, but his pride got in the way. Just trouble him a little later on. Men value their pride, after all."Since he has already given in, please don't get mad at him anymore, Madam. No matter who gets mad in the relationship, you are the ones who would feel sad about it in the end."Amelia didn't reply to that. Instead, she simply said, "Got it. Thanks for waiting for me."May usually went to bed early. She should've been asleep by n
