Although it was somewhat expected, Gwyneth could not help but laugh when she heard the maid confront her like that. "Mary, do you think this is the appropriate attitude and status for speaking to me?" Sighing inwardly, Gwyneth turned off the television. All she wanted was to relax and watch a soap opera, but it had become such a difficult task. Standing up, she positioned herself in front of Elizabeth and Mary, examining their appearances as her expression gradually grew cold.

Realizing that her previous attitude was inappropriate, Mary slightly restrained herself. "Regardless, Miss Lisle is a guest. No matter what, Madam, you shouldn't do such a thing."

"You just addressed me as 'Madam,' correct?" Gwyneth crossed her arms, speaking softly as she looked at the two women before her. She had no intention of explaining herself regarding the baseless accusations, but she would not let it slide either.

At this question, Mary hesitated while Elizabeth secretly clenched her teeth. 'That ti

She became mad when she saw how much Gwyneth was enjoying the show.Mary was fired, partly because of her actions and partly because Liam wanted to exemplify her.

    Elizabeth lost her appetite that night. What was supposed to be a delicious feast now tasted like nothing. She dreaded for it to be over.Once they were done with dinner, Elizabeth immediately followed Liam as he returned to his study on the second floor.Gwyneth also happened to go upstairs for some rest. She could not help but be amused by Elizabeth's protesting-like gaze. 'What is going on in that woman's mind?' she thought.Liam sat at the desk in the study. He looked at Elizabeth, and his eyes were slightly dazed. Since the day he learned that her wound was a scald, he started to act cold toward her."Liam, you said you'd let me work in your company. What exactly is my role there?"Liam froze when he heard that. He had agreed to this then because he wanted Gwyneth to go home with him quickly. But, now that he thought about it, he realized he had made an abrupt decision."Report to HR tomorrow and take a secretary position for the time being."Elizabeth was elated. 'Becoming

    Seeing Wesley's sad face, Gwyneth chuckled lightly, left the office, and headed straight to Luther Corporation. She found that she had never stepped into Liam's company, whether for business or personal matters, to be rather funny.At the same time, Elizabeth had just come out of an office with papers in hand. She was just about to take the elevator to find Liam when she heard a familiar voice behind her."Please inform the project manager that I have a business meeting with him."Elizabeth stopped and turned to see Gwyneth in formal attire, dealing with the company's front desk worker."Ms. Glen?"Just as Gwyneth was about to take her business card out, Larry walked over and said, "Ms. Glen, are you here to meet the boss? Why don't I inform him about your arrival?"Gwyneth looked a little hesitant when she heard Liam's name. She had come to Luther Corporation for no other purpose than to discuss business matters. She did not want Liam to know she was here at all. However, before

    Gwyneth laughed angrily at the receptionist's words. "Do you even have a good workplace environment here?" she said, no longer patient at the service. She did not intend to hold back since there was no reason for her to do so. Instead, she raised her eyebrows to show that she took no rejections. This was enough to make the girl at the front desk lose the argument.Looking at the staff's gaze, Elizabeth cursed to herself but finally opened her mouth because she needed to act as the good guy in the situation. "Ms. Glen, why would you argue with our front desk personnel? It's a little small-minded of you, don't you think?""So what you're saying, Ms. Lisle, is that you would just laugh about it if someone with a lower status than you comes up to you and pushes you down?"Gwyneth turned to look at Elizabeth and felt uncomfortable when she saw her fake smile."What kind of point are you trying to make, Ms. Glen? Don't forget that we're in Luther Corporation.""So what?" Gwyneth gritted

    No one dared to doubt Liam's words. Even if Gwyneth were not the CEO of AMC Group, the staff of Luther Corporation would still agree with Liam no matter the proof."I'm sorry for my ignorance, Ms. Glen. I..." The employee at the front desk who was yelling earlier turned ashen. Her voice was trembling, and she could not speak clearly.Halfway through her sentence, the receptionist saw Gwyneth pick up the document again and said, "Mr. Walsh..." Her intentions were obvious.Liam's expression was filled with admiration as he gazed upon Gwyneth's powerful temperament and the stern look in her eyebrows. He then looked at Walter with a hint of hostility and said, "Make the final payment in full."Gwyneth glanced at Liam and thought, 'I guess he isn't so useless after all. I should've just asked for the CEO earlier. Maybe I could've gotten things done by now.'Everyone was silent for a while. Some of the workers who were standing on the sidelines returned to their positions after Liam arr

    "How do you plan on dealing with this?" Gwyneth asked, sitting on the sofa in the CEO's office in Luther Corporation while she looked at the man sitting across from her indifferently."I will look into what happened and make the payment at the earliest convenience." Liam poured two cups of tea, put them on the table, and looked at Gwyneth with a hint of scrutiny. He had never seen Gwyneth in semi-professional attire before. She looked sharp but stunning."Alright. I'll be waiting to hear from you." Gwyneth rubbed her finger on the teacup's rim and got up, ready to leave. Liam subconsciously stood up, a little reluctant to let her go. "Do you wanna have lunch together?""I don't have the money to eat because my company has not received our payment yet, Mr. Luther. I'm not even in the mood to think about lunch right now," said Gwyneth.Things came to a resolution two days later because of her words.Gwyneth was signing some papers in her office when Wesley entered the room, looking

    Liam felt uncomfortable after hearing Henry's mockery, but he knew he could not blame Gwyneth for being good at keeping her secrets. No one else was to blame but him."Hey! Have you ever seen me single?" Henry shoved Liam with a serious face full of dissatisfaction when Liam teased him back.Henry was someone Liam could call his friend in this circle of people.Henry owned a showbiz company. Although he seemed a little eccentric, his wisdom and skills were admirable when he was serious.Probably because his industry was different, Henry was never short of women, but he also never fell for them. According to his own words, life is like a playground.From his perspective, the bare minimum for a genuinely loving relationship stems from reciprocity from both sides. With this thought in mind, his gaze turned to Gwyneth uncontrollably. She was uninhibited and was always able to strive in her career. There was constantly a smile on her face.

As soon as he saw Gwyneth finish her conversation with a CEO, he swiftly approached her."Ms. Glen, I'm Henry Munroe, the CEO of Euphoria Entertainment. It's been a while since I've heard your name. I'm genuinely thrilled to meet you today," he said.Upon hearing Henry's official and slick greeting, Gwyneth had already given him a low rating, though she found him somewhat presentable.Henry continued, "Ms. Glen, did you come to the banquet by yourself today? How about we go somewhere else? Let's have a private discussion about a business deal?"Until now, Henry hadn't paid close attention to Gwyneth. But now, they stood barely a foot apart. As he looked at Gwyneth's face right in front of him, his heartbeat skipped a beat. She wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, but she had a charisma and a poise that made her stand out in the cro

    After a restful night, Gwyneth returned to Greer College to meet up with Willa… Willa, for one, had placed high value on their meeting, to the point where she had postponed a class just so that they could discuss things without any interruption. Stirring her coffee, Willa chuckled as she muttered, “So, before moving on, let me apologize if I came off as snobbish the first time we met… I just have high standards since I want my work to be loved by many, you know? With that out of the way, let’s talk about the collaboration… I admit I like the plot, but… There are several conditions that you need to think about before we can proceed.” Nodding in response, Gwyneth found herself surprised that her demands weren’t outrageous at all. In fact, Gwyneth would’ve followed those principles even if Willa hadn’t brought them up! Though this was nothing to Gwyneth, it meant the world to Willa. After all, it was hard to find someone so honest these days, and she was rather grateful that she h

    After putting some distance between them, Aubrey couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you sure she’ll agree…? If you need help, I do know a few scriptwriters that could easily replace Willa…” Sure, she had faith in her friend, but Aubrey seemed like a tough nut to crack… It didn’t help that there were so many other competent screenwriters out there to compete with! To her dismay, Gwyneth simply grinned and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling that she’ll soon see things the way I do…” Just as Aubrey was about to sigh in defeat, a young man suddenly ran up to them and said, “Well hey there, ladies… Where to?” It was clear that he had his eyes on Gwyneth, and following a smirk, Aubrey replied, “Kid, you’re years too early to try hitting on us…” Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, the man muttered, “I mean, can I at least have your number…?” Naturally, Gwyneth wasn’t about to humor this person, especially since he was already starting to annoy her.
