Amelia scoffed. "Let's first put to bed the heinous rumor that there's nothing between Oscar and me. Even if things were as you said and we're in a relationship, wouldn't you be happier if I'd bitten off more than I could chew? No one would be fighting with you for Liam then."Ava's gaze shifted, and she suddenly laughed. "I was wondering how capable you actually were. Apparently, you haven't even slept with Mr. Prescott yet! No wonder you're so close to Oscar."In Ava's opinion, Oscar couldn't compare to Liam at all. If Amelia was seducing Oscar, that could only mean that Amelia was playing hard to get, even though Liam was interested in her, and gaining Liam's ire in the process. Thus, even when she got the chance to send Liam home, Liam still rejected Amelia!Ava was very pleased when she thought of this."As I said, Ms. Jenson, do you really think Mr. Prescott will take an interest in you? Don't forget that I'm pregnant with his child. Do you think Mr. Prescott will want anothe
"What are you doing here?""I know you tend to forget to eat when you're busy. I got worried about you, so I came after shooting the commercial. It seems I've been proven right." Ava sat beside Liam and hugged his arm. "Liam, you're not single anymore. You have to take care of your health for me and the baby.""Are you worried I won't be up to your standards if I'm unhealthy or something?" Liam pushed her away coldly. For some reason, her perfume stung his nose."Liam!" Ava whined like a brat. She didn't dare approach him again, though. Even though Ava liked him, she was even more afraid of him."Just spit it out. What are you here for?" Liam hated it when people disrupted his work. From what he knew, Ava didn't have the guts to bother him.If he remembered correctly, Ava was supposed to be shooting a commercial today. She had probably already gone. Knowing how jealous she could be, Ava was probably here to talk shit about Amelia again.Ava smiled sheepishly as she took out her p
"That's true. If you really liked her, she would already have been your …" When she got to that point, Ava stopped talking. "I knew you wouldn't let me down."Hearing that Liam didn't like Amelia, Ava unconsciously ignored the rest of Liam's words. She leaned into him, expecting him to catch her.Liam got up abruptly, causing Ava to fall heavily to the ground. Ava wore a hurt expression as she called out, "Liam!"She was pregnant! How could he treat her like this?"I remember telling you to never come into my office without my permission. Don't overestimate how important you are to me! Just because I haven't said anything doesn't mean I trust you completely. That night at Riverbay Residence, did anything really happen between us?" His cold words made Ava feel a wave of guilt.Her strength wavered as she forced out a few tears. "Liam, how can you say that? You took me to Riverbay Residence yourself that night. You said you have many women around you, but you've never let any of
Although Liam didn't admit to it, many outsiders thought that they were dating. Since she was a talent in his company, he could manufacture a chance for them to break up amicably. He could even compensate her for it.After all, a woman he'd abandoned had zero chance of staying in the entertainment industry.But when Liam thought of possibly having another woman, he got even more worked up. He walked around the office but still couldn't resist the urge to pick up his keys and leave."Mr. Prescott, how rare it is to see you here!"Farah immediately rushed to the Astra guest lounge when she got the news, abandoning her work."Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"Farah's eyes brightened. She laughed and said, "Yes, I did. Everyone says that having a meal with you is a very beneficial experience. You, mister, have never given me the honor. Now that you're here, Mr. Prescott, what do you say?"Liam didn't reject her invitation to a meal last time, only saying that he would ha
Looking at the congested traffic outside, Amelia let out a sigh.With so many cars on the road and it being time to get off work, there was no way she could rush back in time. Even if she arrived in half an hour, Liam would still be upset.After some thought, Amelia called him, but Liam didn't pick up. She laughed bitterly. Liam really wanted her to trip over herself getting to him!Outside the Astra building, Liam sat in his car wearing a dark expression. He waited for five minutes, but Amelia still didn't hadn’t left the building. She must still be with Oscar!When his phone rang, the sight of Amelia's name on the screen annoyed Liam, so he tossed his phone aside and let it ring, ignoring it the whole time.Then, someone knocked on his window. Outside the car, Farah looked apologetic."I'm sorry, Mr. Prescott. I just remembered that Amelia went out for a commercial shoot with Oscar today. She's rushing back now. I'm afraid you'll have to wait. Why don't you come inside instead?
In the private room, Liam didn't speak, and Amelia didn't know what to say, either. She sat there with him, her nerves dancing on a wire.After the food was served, Liam looked at her and said, "Eat up!"Amelia looked at Liam. She was already nervous, and now that Liam had given the order, she didn't dare disobey. She finished half the food with the strange tension charging the air around them.Liam also finished eating when she did. Seeing the leftover food on her plate, Liam got a waiter to come over and asked, "Have you changed chefs?""You should know that we have never changed chefs, Mr. Prescott. And since you came personally today, our proprietress was the one who cooked.""Then please tell her I'm not happy with her cooking today!"Amelia was stunned for a moment. She found the food quite delicious!She had been wondering why Liam would come to this unassuming and out-of-the-way restaurant, but after tasting the food, she knew it was because it was amazing.In her ponde
"Miss, do you have complaints about my cooking or me?" Lily stopped pestering Liam. Instead, she turned her attention to Amelia. She looked amused.Amelia pursed her lips. "There's nothing wrong with your cooking.""So you have a problem with me." Raising her eyebrow, Lily looked at Liam. "Is this another one of your relationship problems?"Liam didn't say a word. Instead, he looked at Amelia. He felt something strange stirring in his heart."Great, now I have to watch someone get jealous. What were you thinking? Ava is already pregnant, and you're still meeting other women!"Hearing Lily's words, Amelia felt that something was off. Still, she couldn't quite get it."Alright, this doesn't concern you anymore. You can leave now."Lily gave Amelia a few odd looks. Then, she left with a smile.The room turned silent in an instant. Amelia was sad, and she didn't want to look at him. She could only lower her head."You're jealous."Hearing someone chuckle in a low voice, she immed
Amelia said that she believed Liam, but her expression told him clearly that she didn't believe him at all!"Amelia, I've already explained it to you. Don't get cocky!""Understood, Mr. Prescott. Let's eat. We’re done talking about those unsavory things." Amelia stood up and poured out some wine for him.If everything he did was deemed right in the end, she had nothing to say."Mr. Prescott?" Liam suddenly smiled. "You do know how to separate private matters from official business."When Lily was getting close to him, Amelia looked angry and sad. Liam thought that she was jealous and that she cared about him.He was quite happy about it, thinking she finally looked a little like the person he remembered. But now, her distant and polite behavior proved him wrong."Farah arranged for me to dine with you. Since it's a work-related matter, I naturally have to treat it like work."Instead of getting angry, Liam smiled. "Do you know why Farah asked you to dine with me?"Amelia repli
