Though Liam said he would be back soon, it was already Monday morning when Amelia saw him again.Liam entered with a tired and dejected expression while Amelia was having breakfast. But upon seeing Amelia, he put on a smile. "Lia."Amelia glanced at him for a second, then, she lowered her head to continue eating.Liam's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he smiled again. "I'll go shower and change. I'll drive you to work later."Amelia didn't reply. Liam glanced at her before heading back to the room.Amelia tightened her grip on the spoon and resumed eating, as though nothing had happened. However, her movements were faster than before.When Liam came out dressed after a while, he didn't see Amelia anywhere.At that moment, May was tidying up the table. Seeing his actions, she understood he was looking for Amelia.She sighed softly and said, "Madam has already left.""Left?" Liam's heart skipped a beat, repeating her word."Yeah, she went to work. She said s
"Hey, what a rare guest we have here!"When Lucas received the news, he pushed open the door to the president's office. He was delighted to see the person inside.Before he even reached the company, he had heard from the receptionist that a visitor had arrived and was already in his office. So he hurriedly rushed over.Liam frowned and glanced at Lucas. "It's already 9:30 am. The role of company president seems like an easy job for you."Lucas immediately put on a mournful face. "Easy? How can it be easy? I've been working my ass off. Why didn't you come help me, Liam? I'm struggling alone here, arguing with those old guys every day, and you didn't even think of helping me."Liam snorted coldly. "You're the president of Prime Studios, not me.""But you're—""Cut the nonsense. Just do your job well. Since the establishment of the company, you've been doing fine, haven't you? Stop complaining. If you have the ability, show it, and let people see that you're not inferior to anyon
"I've known Leo since our childhood. We went to the same school. Our friendship is similar to that of Lucas and I."Amelia looked at Liam suspiciously.Friendship?Her gaze made Liam feel a bit awkward. He remained silent for a moment, then, he smiled wryly. "Lia, if I tell you the truth, I'm afraid you'll get angry. But if I don't, you won't believe me. What should I say?"Amelia chuckled. "You can say whatever you want." After all, she wasn't a fool. She had seen all his actions."I admit, I had feelings for Leo, but that was before I knew you. If I had known I would meet you later on, I wouldn't—"Amelia reached out and covered his mouth."Don't talk about these hypothetical things. They will never happen. They won't make your words more credible either."They wouldn't change her mind.After all, she already knew about his feelings for Leona. She knew that he had liked Leona since childhood.Liam looked at Amelia helplessly, realizing that women were indeed hard to pleas
"I already said I felt nothing for her while I was dating Lily. She enjoyed the rights of being my girlfriend. I gave her my money and introduced her to my social circle."Amelia didn't feel bitter at all hearing Liam speak about Lily. In fact, she was reminded of her old self.The first three years of their marriage was just like how he described his relationship with Lily. He was never stingy in giving her money to spend.Liam had given her a card she could swipe with and provided her with a wealthy life. Amelia had just been too cautious and rarely spent his money, save to send some items back home to Bryxton. Because of that, Amelia had no clue how much money was in that card.But in comparison, one thing was different—Amelia had no clue about Liam's circle of friends back then.If she thought about it carefully, there were actually a lot more differences.When Liam was dating Lily, he never flirted around or got involved in scandals.Liam continued, "At the time, I though
The office grew quiet after Liam finished explaining the situation around Lily.He gently caressed Amelia's hair. "I'll tell you everything you want to know as long as you ask me, wifey. But I do need to make this clear—the past is in the past. You can't get upset at me for that."Liam had an aggrieved look on his face as he said this, as if Amelia had actually blamed him.Amelia stayed silent and shot him a look, pouting. After some time, she raised her gaze up to him. "Don't think you can bamboozle me. Did you come here today just to tell me old stories?"Liam smiled in exasperation. "I just wanted to explain myself in case you started overthinking!""Your explanation went on for so long that one would think you were acting out of guilt!" Amelia scowled.She actually felt much better after hearing Liam's explanation. That was why she began putting up an unbothered attitude."I'm not feeling guilty. All I said was the truth. I genuinely love you to the moon and back," Liam sa
Liam hadn't come back to Luxury Gardens when Amelia returned. After thinking further about everything, she realized she knew too little.Amelia had no idea what was going on outside if Liam didn't tell her about it. Especially about Leona.After some thinking, Amelia decided to call Oscar."Looks like our minds are connected, Silly Billy. I was just about to give you a call when you called first." Oscar sounded like he was in a good mood."What did you want to tell me, Oscar?" Amelia asked with a chuckle. It had been some time since she'd met up with Oscar."I'll be back in Sableton after I'm done with this shooting. Let's meet up. It's been so long since we've seen each other. Have Karl come along too. There's something I need to ask for your help with!" Oscar said."Oh, what could I possibly be able to help you with?" Amelia asked."You have no idea. You're high in demand right now." Oscar chuckled, recalling his surprise when he saw the news earlier.But it made sense. Ame
"Looks like your movie's going to be popular, Oscar," Amelia said sincerely.After Oscar's initial movie, he partnered up with Amelia to shoot their first TV series. It was Amelia's second official TV series gig.Supposedly, Oscar didn't need to act in TV series anymore since he'd decided to switch things up. But he still ended up accepting the role.Amelia hadn't understood the details at first, but when she did, they had already started filming. Only then did Amelia realize Oscar accepted the role in order to boost her reputation.Though Oscar's first movie wasn't a huge success, it still garnered a lot of support. It even helped him gain credibility in the film acting scene, though the effect wasn't as big as when he starred in the TV series."Popularity doesn't matter to me. I was never in it for the box office records," Oscar said nonchalantly.Amelia was puzzled about this for a moment before realizing. She said, "If you weren't in it for the sales, that means your goal is
"No, we just want your help to write a script for Oscar. A movie script."Karl's words made Amelia's eyes widen.She turned to Oscar only to find him smiling at her. He didn't seem to be bluffing. Only then did Amelia realize they were being serious."But I'm just a novice," she said."We believe in you, Silly Billy."More accurately, they believed in Amelia, not merely her talent!Amelia was touched by this. Her first script was yet to be adapted and Oscar was already seeking her help to write another. Oscar could call it whatever he wanted, but it was clear his aim was to help her! Amelia guessed that Oscar would be winning an award based on his and Karl's attitude. If it was an important award, then Amelia's movie would already be able to get half the hype it needed based on Oscar's feature alone.Plus, with Prime Studio's post-production and advertising, there was no reason to worry about it being a bust."Oscar, you … " Amelia started."Don't feel pressured. Just write
