Gwyneth was very busy. After a photoshoot for an endorsement deal with Dizz, which she secured thanks to her showbiz success, she boarded a plane bound for Libertad.She was on a seat in the first-class section, wearing shades as she rested her eyes and mulled over the details of an upcoming tender. After all, AMC was interested in developing an amusement park in that plot of land, and she just happened to be heading to the tender venue.AMC was expanding in scale and operations, which occasionally left her tired, though it felt calming too. She developed a fondness for flying in turn, which afforded her silence as she enjoyed the view outside.Or she could just close her eyes to meditate like this, which was a luxury for any busy person.Soon, her flight landed in Libertad, and Gwyneth quickly composed herself and made a beeline for the hotel. No one could tell that she did not sleep for a couple days in that state.Still, she had just arrived when Liam called."How clingy…" she
"It's good that you understand your mistake, and I forgive you." Gwyneth smiled after Elizabeth rambled on for ten minutes and walked over to give her a hug. "I know it's been hard for you. We can just let bygones be bygones."It happened so quickly that Elizabeth only realized what was happening after Gwyneth returned to her seat.Not only did she earn Gwyneth's forgiveness, but she got a hug too!Her eyes welled up with tears right then. "Thank you, Gwyneth! You're so wonderful!"After another five minutes of small talk, they said their goodbyes, and Gwyneth walked Elizabeth to the door. "You should get some rest. It's late," Gwyneth said mildly with a smile."Yes! I hope you'll succeed in your bid too," Elizabeth said earnestly."Thank you." Gwyneth's smile broadened. However, once she closed the door, Elizabeth was smiling smugly. "What an idiot!"Likewise, Gwyenth's smile faded right then.She strode right up to the potted plant near the tea table, felt around, and soo
Gundar's representatives were all nodding in agreement as Stan presented, obviously satisfied.That was not lost on Stan, so he was more or less relieved.Gwyneth was up next, and Stan was left freezing in his seat soon enough with a grim look in his eyes. He stared at her, perplexed—what was happening here?! He had been eavesdropping on her, and this was obviously not the presentation Gwyneth had put together yesterday! Did she suddenly change it? If so, how could they come up with a completely new one in such a short time? No, was Elizabeth perhaps working together with Gwyneth to mess with him?! But Elizabeth hated Gwyneth to the bone!However, while Stan was left at a loss, Gundar's CEO Tim Walsh started applauding, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Gwyneth. "You are as young as you are bright, Ms. Glen! Your presentation is simply amazing!""You're too kind," Gwyneth replied politely, shaking his hand.Everyone else was left grimacing as they looked on.What was the poi
After winning the tender bid, Gwyneth headed straight home and cooked up a storm."How does it taste?" She smiled at Liam as he ate. "Take your time. It's all yours."Liam observed basic manners, but he was hasty even if he was not wolfing down his food. It had been a while since he ate something so great, and no chef would ever match Gwyneth's culinary skills. If he did not know better, he would have thought that she embedded a device on his taste buds that ensured he could only taste her cooking...After quickly finishing dinner, he asked, "Your cooking is even better now. I especially loved the chicken wings and trout.""Did you forget who you're talking to?" Gwyneth smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment greater than winning the Gundar tender as she watched her man eat her cooking."True." Liam smiled in turn. "Such accomplishment is possible because you're my wife.""Real humble, aren't you?" Gwyneth was left at a loss—how did he manage to praise himself while praising he
Gwyneth felt a little guilty right then, but Liam dragged her into their room before she could respond. She was naked in no time at all and was forced to placate him physically.No matter how authoritative she was outside, she was submissive when it came to him.Aubrey did not fare any better, and both women were rubbing their hips the next day when they left their rooms.And this time, they were much more obedient and chatted far less this time.Liam was satisfied with that but soon told Henry to leave with Aubrey anyway.They could enjoy hot springs anywhere—but these two had to be split up!Liam was certainly satisfied soon enough since they were sticking to each other like conjoined twins now, sitting side by side in the car holding hands once they alighted.He had secretly prepared a romantic candlelight dinner for her at a romantic French restaurant.It was a quiet place, and the soft glow did not dull the appearance of the handsome, affectionate prince and the princess w
Gwyneth turned on her computer as soon as she returned to the hotel and checked the security footage Root sent. Liam was watching beside her as well, though his hands clenched at his sides while a coldness erupted from him.Just as they finished watching the footage, they could hear a knock on the door."Gwyneth? It's me, Elizabeth—can you open the door for me? I need to talk to you."Liam rose to his feet before Gwyneth could respond, but she stopped him with an assuring look."It's fine. Trust me," she said and opened the door."Help me, Gwyneth. I'm on my period but I'm out of pads—can you go to the nearby mall with me to buy some? We'll come back right after, I promise," Elizabeth promptly asked with a pleading look, seemingly worried that Gwyneth would not buy it."Sure," Gwyneth agreed to it after some thought—she had no reason to refuse Elizabeth when the woman had a death wish.They both took the elevator down to the basement parking lot, and Elizabeth was already up t
"Why don't you reflect on yourself before you mock someone else? You goaded Elizabeth into trying to kill me, and you still want me to be nice? Am I so masochistic that I want your repeated humiliation?!" Gwyneth snapped, but there was a wounded tone in her voice.Stan calmed down as the haughty goddess was suddenly yielding, and he released her. "It's all a misunderstanding—Elizabeth's actions are her own. I can have her vanish if you're still upset with me… but only if you leave Liam and be with me!""Dream on!" Liam himself bellowed as he kicked down the door and hurried to Gwyneth. "Are you alright?" There was concern in his eyes, and he was incensed when he saw her swollen wrist, not calming down even if she kept shaking her head."How dare you hurt my woman!" he screamed as he punched Stan in the face as hard as he could.Stan simply wiped the blood off the corner of his lips and smiled demonically. "Perfect timing. I was just planning to straighten you out!" he bellowed
Gwyneth asked Aubrey directly, "Hey, what's wrong?"She knew her best friend enough to tell that Aubrey only came to her because there was trouble.Aubrey was certainly keen on escaping Liam's glare too. "Oh, you know me best, dear! You're the wisest person I've ever known bar none!"Gwyneth rolled her eyes at her bubbly mischief. "Get to the point!""Dearie, remember the design you gave me during our trip to the hot springs? Check this out—don't you think it's the same design?"Gwyneth took Aubrey's phone and compared her own design sheet with the design on the screen—someone was clearly plagiarizing her work! After all, there was no such thing as two designs sharing a 99% similarity!Understanding the severity of the issue, Gwyneth asked, "Did you find the designer?""Yeah—I have everything there is to know on her, but I'm impressed in a way," Aubrey growled grumpily. "I mean, using someone else's design for a competition?!"She hated devious people like Robin Walt the most.
