"Eric!" Alex stood on her tiptoes and drew nearer to the man who was holding her. Her lips rubbed against his neck as her hand snaked in from his back."Eric, I want you to have me and only me in your eyes and heart right now. Don't think of any other woman, alright? Right now, I'm the only woman you have!"Her pleading voice, coupled with her actions, was sending one signal.Of course, Eric was aware of all that.Ever since they slept with each other after he got drunk last time, Alex moved in next to his home. After that, the two were intimate many times over. So they were quite familiar with all these things by now.However, Eric was still a little hesitant. They were in the office right now. In the past, no matter how they frolicked, they were being intimate in the hotel or at home. This was their first time being intimate in the company.Eric was also aware that Charles hadn't given up on establishing a marriage alliance with him. So Charles might be waiting to get somethi
Eric gripped the misbehaving hands of the woman in his arms. He said in a low voice, "I still have matters to deal with in Terracrest, so I may need some more time before I can go back."Alex chuckled. This man was lying through his teeth."I think I heard someone laughing, and it's a woman's voice too. Eric, are you getting together with another woman behind my back?"On the other end of the line, the woman sounded anxious as she spoke with a sobbing tone.Because the two were hugging each other, Eric couldn't keep the conversation away from Alex's ears. Of course, Alex could hear what the woman on the other side was saying.She got even more mischievous as she tried harder to tease Eric.Because of her actions, Eric inhaled sharply."Come on, tell me, Eric. Is there a woman by your side? Don't tell me you're really betraying me!"Eric forcefully pushed Alex's head away and tried his best to suppress himself.Then, he said, "Bella, I already told you before I came back to
Most women would be obsessed as soon as they fell for someone.It was the same for Hannah, Alex, and Bella.Bella refused to listen to what Eric was saying. She just wanted to be with him.When her father heard what she'd said, he reprimanded her. It was only then that she hung up reluctantly. But before the call ended, her father talked to Eric for a bit.He said, "I'm glad that you could decline Bella wisely. But Eric, you shouldn't have thought of taking advantage of her in the first place!"I'll arrange a marriage for her, so don't come back before the marriage is confirmed!"Eric replied, "Got it." He didn't have any objections about the arrangement. He didn't intend to return so soon anyway."She finally hung up. Since you don't like that woman, why did you answer her calls? She could've called at any other time, but she called at a moment like this!" Alex looked up at Eric and pouted. There was a slight charm in her annoyance.Eric reached out and touched Alex's face.
In the president's office, Amelia was discussing with James the matters at the meeting just now. She had no idea that some people were grumbling about her presence at the meeting earlier.Of course, she also had no idea that Liam had fired three senior executives right away for her sake.The door to the office wasn't closed. As Liam heard the two talking inside, he could sense Amelia's earnesty and improvement. Pride welled in his heart.This was his woman. She was smart and eager to learn, and she was working so hard for his sake!"If you've had enough of listening in, come in!"After Amelia expressed her views, she heard James saying that out of the blue. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned to look at the entrance."I'm back, Lia." Liam walked over to Amelia and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Thank you for your hard work in the past few days."Amelia wriggled and tried to break free from him, but Liam refused to let go. Amelia glanced at him, a little e
"Mr. Prescott!"When Amelia saw a woman walking toward them, she finally realized that Liam had indeed made arrangements beforehand.But judging by the woman's behavior, she seemed to be coming with them."Here's your visa, Mrs. Prescott.""Thanks!" Amelia took her passport from the woman and glanced at it. She was surprised to find that they were going to Gallica.But Amelia was a little curious. That woman seemed to have an odd smile on her face when she looked at Amelia.Amelia looked at Liam. "But I didn't bring anything!""It's okay. If you need anything, we can buy it when we arrive."Just like that, Amelia boarded the plane with Liam. Liam's female assistant, Nina, followed them.Liam and Amelia were in first class. Nina was accompanying Liam, so of course, she got to enjoy the first class treatment as well.Amelia was a little puzzled as to why Liam would bring Nina along. She remembered that when she'd gone to the company these days, she rarely bumped into Nina.
"How is she going to secure the order?" Amelia asked. She was a little curious.Judging by Liam's tone, he seemed quite sure of it. It felt as if he was confident that Nina was capable of doing it. "Do you want to know?" Liam replied.Amelia nodded.She was still a little puzzled. When Liam made that promise, Nina had a foul look on her face. She even looked at Liam with a woeful expression, as if he had let her down.Ever since Amelia first met Nina, she knew that this female assistant had her eyes on Liam too. But she simply didn't expose Nina."We'll get breakfast first. Then, we'll take a look together." Liam stated.He said that they would take a look together, so Amelia thought that he would bring her somewhere else. But unexpectedly, after breakfast, he brought her back to the hotel room."Didn't you say that we're going to see how Nina secures the order?" Amelia asked. She saw how confident Liam was, so she was wondering if she could learn a thing or two from Nina.
After that, the screen was turned off.Amelia glared at Liam. "What are you doing? It's not the end yet!"Liam didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear wife, are you sure you want to see what happens after that?"His expression and smile caused Amelia to instantly feel a little embarrassed. Of course she could guess what happened next. So this was how Nina secured the order!Amelia couldn't help but be surprised. Was it worth it to pay a price like that for this order?And would Liam do anything just to secure an order? Didn't he care about the methods used or the price to pay to obtain it?"Lia, this is the business field, and it's also how the human heart works." Liam saw through her thoughts. He felt a little bad for her, but he continued, "This is a new client from Gallica that the company has been in contact with from some time ago. If we can win over this client, our company will be more competitive in the Gallican market."Nina's my assistant, but with Gio around
When Amelia woke up from her nap in the afternoon, Nina had come over again."Mr. Prescott, the contract has been signed." Nina handed the document to Liam. Amelia noticed that Nina had quite an awkward gait when she walked. There were also some marks on her neck.Amelia frowned slightly. By the looks of it, Nina had gone through quite a lot as well.Liam took the documents and flipped through them for a moment. Then, he signed his name before handing a document to her. "Pass this to him."Nina's hand trembled a little as she took the document. Then, she dropped to the floor on her knees. She said, "Mr. Prescott, please get someone else to deliver it. I don't want to see him again. He's a devil. He …"Liam's expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "Are you sure you want to give up?""I …" Nina widened her eyes. She looked like she hadn't expected Liam to say that."All contracts have two copies, and both sides should have one copy each. Now that both sides have sign
