Liam raised his head when he heard this. He sighed when he saw the lovely scene before him. He honestly liked animals, but his body forbade him from getting too close to them.While Gwyneth was seated at the dining table, the kitten crept underneath it."Meow…"Liam stopped eating when it meowed. He followed the sound to its source, lowered his gaze, and met the kitten eye-to-eye."Meow…"It meowed once more, but this time it was not very friendly.Both shocked and amused, Liam could not help but smile.'Does this kitten remember what happened in the morning when I nearly tossed it away? So it's holding a grudge against me. I suppose there is some truth to the saying that pets take after their owners.’He chuckled silently as he looked at Gwyneth.The two had few interactions during breakfast. Liam was uncomfortable about this. Originally, he believed that the relationship between them was slowly getting better. Now, their progress had gone back to square one or worse. A
Edward tried his best to talk Gwyneth out of staying the night in Liam's bedroom, but she was adamant. She changed the IV drip and checked his temperature from time to time. It was dawn when his body temperature finally stabilized.She had stayed up all night. Her mind was racing as she watched the semi-unconscious Liam. She had many thoughts but had trouble making sense of them.Edward visited them after dawn to see how they were doing. He asked, "Mrs. Luther, how is he?"When Gwyneth saw Edward, she immediately got up and was ready to leave. She said, "He's probably fine."He asked, "Mrs. Luther, where are you going? He should be awake any time now."She wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, precisely for that reason. She did not wish to discuss any issues with Liam. She had taken care of him all night because she felt sorry for him. She considered that an apology, and it was the right thing to do. Things might become tricky when he discovered this.She had clear thou
The technical director was so devastated that he almost started crying when it was confirmed that the account was accurate. He had monitored this account for a long time before finally finding something.He hurriedly grabbed his laptop and dashed to the president's office. He almost ran into some coworkers on his way there.Liam was reviewing the previous quarter's work results in his office.When Larry walked in, he suppressed the urge to laugh. Larry informed Liam in a light voice, saying, "Mr. Luther, the technical director is waiting for you outside."Liam immediately perked up when he heard this. That man had no reason to see him, except if he had some news about the hacker."Let him in," Liam commanded softly.When the technical director entered his office, Liam realized why Larry had to contain his laughter. The respectable man was drenched in sweat and was holding onto his laptop like it was his young child. He looked extremely nervous. His look, coupled with his formal a
Gwyneth was a president, doctor, and musician. Now, Liam had to add "hacker" to that list. Her new identity had genuinely astonished Liam more than her previous ones. These identities were unrelated to each other, yet it kept happening. He moved his lips and uttered quietly, "God-K…"He ran a quick search online and discovered that God-K was more powerful than he had imagined. The hacker community regarded God-K as highly influential.It was difficult for him to control the intense wave of feelings that was growing inside. He had been surprised or impressed by Gwyneth's previous identity. Now, he was taken aback and amazed by her new one.He considered the circumstances. When Gwyneth came online, she quickly and flawlessly fixed the issue that his technical director had been unable to fix within minutes. That problem was a piece of cake for her.He smiled proudly as he touched his chin. His wife was exceptional, and he was a lucky man to meet her. He pondered about this and log
Hayden became lost in thought. The phone call had already ended by the time he came around. He used his fingertips to massage his slightly sore forehead. Then he pulled a chair and sat down. He had actually forgotten how he ended the call and what he said to Gwyneth.He had sensed Liam's feelings for Gwyneth ever since their trip to Glacier Lake. Their relationship was not cold and distant. Liam's response was consistent with the rumors. They would be the perfect, loving couple if they went one step further."Mr. Hut, are you not feeling well? Should we call it a day?"When Hayden heard his assistant's query, his features became softer. Though his smile was stiff, he was still grinning.Hayden concurred, saying, "Alright, let's call it a day. Everyone is free to go back home and rest."With this announcement, the staff exhaled a sigh of relief. They had hardly slept since they began to get ready for Hayden's new album. Although they were worried about their boss's health, it was g
Elizabeth found the temptation too great. It was her dream. She looked at Hayden's extended hand, bit her lip, and settled her doubts. "Are you serious?"Hayden asked, "I believe that my reputation in the entertainment industry is enough to serve as a guarantee, right?"Elizabeth felt relieved by this assurance. She snatched Hayden's hand abruptly. Her demeanor changed as though she were worried that Hayden would back out of the offer.He broadened his grin. He moved forward, invited Elizabeth into the house, and arranged lunch.She asked, "Mr. Hut, do you have a plan? What should be done to achieve this goal?"Given her eager response, he sneered inwardly and thought her response was extremely absurd. With a gentle smile and what appeared to be great consideration, he made a suggestion, "I’ve given it some thought, and I think with your beauty and figure, you can join the entertainment industry."Being complimented by someone as attractive as Hayden would make anyone happy.
Liam was bursting with jealousy all of a sudden. Even he was momentarily perplexed by what he had just blurted out.Gwyneth stared at him for a few seconds before chuckling faintly.'Am I crazy, or is this guy a nutjob? I actually felt warm in this situation.'The following day, Liam drove Gwyneth to work as usual. Both of them were already accustomed to this routine."Ms. Glen."Everyone bowed and greeted Gwyneth as she walked into the company. Before, most of these greetings had been merely perfunctory. Nowadays, they were done willingly.Given how their president had handled Glacier Lake, the employees had seen her prowess. Additionally, many in the industry secretly praised her decisiveness in handling problems.Back in her office, Gwyneth routinely checked the previous day's report. She put the file down, and the look on her face showed that she was pondering something.Wanda stood aside and curiously inquired, "Ms. Glen, what's the matter?""Is Judy coming to work?" Gw
Gwyneth asked, "Last time, my father won the Emerald Trails project at the auction. Did you know about this?"Wesley nodded immediately. He had not been there, but because of his relationship with Gwyneth, he had been paying close attention.She instructed, "Gaspard was able to afford Emerald Trails because he worked with a former business partner. You need to track down this person and set up a meeting with him."Wesley had known Gwyneth for years and was able to deduce her intent from a single sentence. He checked again. "To win him over?"Gwyneth gave a short and simple instruction, "Just buy him out."Wesley readily agreed to complete the task.The next morning, Wesley met with Gaspard's business partner. He said, "Mr. Campbell, it's simple. Everyone is aware that the Emerald Trails project does not generate much revenue, and this is a fact."Mr. Campbell was seated across Wesley in the cafe. The uneasiness was growing inside him. He asked, "What are you suggesting, Mr.
