Blake said, "You're so nice."Several tables away, a few people were looking in Blake's direction, making uncomfortable remarks about her.She did not eat much before she used the excuse of the soup being ready and left.Blake thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't eat in the cafeteria anymore. No matter how delicious the food is, I can't withstand the stares from these people.'Cecilia was still recuperating in the hospital. She was surprised to see Blake, who had just left in the morning, so soon, "I don't remember asking you to come."Blake felt guilty when Cecilia stared at her. She lowered her head and touched her nose, "Ms. Samford, I'm your assistant. I was worried when I thought of how you have no one to take care of you. I bought you your favorite soup. Give it a try."Blake opened the thermal container and served some into a bowl. She then sat by the bedside and offered it to Cecilia with both hands, "M–Ms. Samford, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong wit
"You have an interesting way with words. It's okay; buy and take whatever you need. Consider it a welcoming gift. Cough, cough–" Cecilia stopped talking as she was experiencing a coughing fit.Blake quickly passed her warm water and said, "Ms. Samford, you should drink some water. I can get you your medication later."Cecilia sipped the water and obliged, "Mhm."Then, Blake walked out of the hospital ward. Cecilia stared at her for a while before retracting her gaze.'I must be overthinking it,' she thought.After that, Blake used Cecilia's card to buy some clothes and accessories for that night. Then, she went to a stylist.When Blake met Cecilia again, the latter eyed her with her arms crossed. She asked, "What's wrong? Did Kevin not tell you to dress this way or ask you to meet clients?"Blake answered embarrassingly," Ms. Samford, you think too highly of me. I'm actually quite clumsy, so Mr. Harrison thought I was a nuisance. Hence, I usually just sit in the car and wait."
Susan got up and walked out of the booth. She saw Blake outside, being carried away by a group of old men. She recognized some of the men, who were executives they had worked with before.Susan smiled evilly and thought, 'Never thought you would become a plaything for old men one day, Blake.'Susan watched them walk away before returning to the booth. She told Kevin, "They had already left when I walked out, Mr. Harrison. I'm not sure if I identified them correctly. I think I saw Blake, some Kraft Technologies executives, and others.""Why is she here?" Kevin asked.Susan shook her head innocently, "I don't know. Maybe we were mistaken. Shouldn't Blake be at the hospital taking care of Ms. Samford? She couldn't possibly be here.""Do you want to leave, Mr. Harrison? I'm planning to discuss the development of Eternal Seasons with you," the owner of Eternal Seasons, Henry Musk, suddenly said.Kevin calmly placed his cup down and answered, "It's still early, Mr. Musk. We can discuss
Olivia saw that Liam was unfazed, making her anxious. She leaned back and said, "I am. Don't tell me you're going to Jardin Corporation because of Blake."Seeing that Liam did not reply, she took it as a yes. As she thought about this, Olivia grew furious. She yelled, "You've only known her for so long while we've known each other for many years. Can't you do it for old times' sake?"Liam was calm throughout the conversation. He said, "She liked that book, so I can't accept a buyout. The agreement to their rights will be according to the original agreement of up to fifteen years."Then, Liam stood up with his coat and said, "It's getting late, so I'll be going back to work.""Fifty million dollars, that's my price. That's my final offer," Olivia said.Liam just walked out of the booth. When he was going down the elevator, he turned around. He saw Blake from the corner of his eyes and heard her screams."I don't want to. Let me go!" Blake shouted."Blake!" Liam roared and rushed
Watching Kevin left angrily, Susan stomped her foot in frustration, 'I don't even know why he is taking out his anger on me out of nowhere! That darn Blake!'After snagging the contract, Kevin returned to the office. When he saw that Zach was not in, he called him to fill him in on the details.Zach said, "Well done. Have someone keep a close eye on everything to ensure it's all good on the wedding day.""Okay, Mr. Jardin," said Kevin and ended the call. The brand-new contracts that were dropped off for approval were on the desk. Sitting at his desk, he could not concentrate at all. Holding a pen, he rubbed his forehead and spent the entire morning distracted. Kevin had never felt this emotionally scattered before, 'What's wrong with me?'At 3 pm, Susan swung by to remind Kevin about the meeting and wrapped up by 4.30 pm.As Kevin strolled past Blake's desk, Janice glanced up and filled him in. It was like second nature to her by now, "Ah! Mr. Harrison, Blake left the office this
In about half a minute, Blake pieced it all together. Liam had brought her back from Eternal Seasons. Sitting on the edge of the bed in confusion, Blake suddenly recalled that she seemed to have teased him, tried to take off his clothes, and even mentioned wanting to have a child with him.She said to herself, "Blake! Are you that thirsty? In TV shows, isn't it always the case that people don't remember anything after getting drunk? Now, can someone please tell me why I remember everything so vividly? Oh no, this is bad!"Blake rarely got drunk, but who would have thought she would get this wild when she did? She thought, 'I think when Liam comes looking for me, I might have some explaining to do, maybe even face the music.'She resided across the hall with a room layout nearly identical to Liam's. She grabbed her bag from the bedside and quietly opened the bedroom door. She peered into the pitch-dark living room, thinking Liam was probably asleep. She took a few steps, closed the d
Blake also knew Liam's migraines were getting worse, "Are you... still having a bad headache right now?"Liam tried to appear strong and smiled calmly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Go back and rest. I can handle it on my own."His words hit Blake hard. She said, "I've slept for so long; I've already had enough sleep." She looked around the room and saw the computer on the desk still glowing, "Stop pulling all-nighters for updates. Your health matters.""Okay," Liam promised.Blake said, "I just came to check on you and brought you some food. Take your medicine and get some rest. This water has gone cold, so don't drink it. Let me heat some fresh water for you. It'll be ready in a while.""Okay," Liam replied.Blake had been to Liam's house. During the break, he would make a table of dishes and invite her to join. Over time, she became a regular at mealtime. He cooked, did the dishes, and personally tidied up the dining table, leaving her with nothing to do.Blake grabbed the kettle f
"Kevin, what annoys me is your arrogant attitude. You're acting like you're better than everyone else!" said Blake.Kevin had already entered the elevator and left. Blake, holding her midnight snack, felt her anger dissipate a bit.It was almost dawn. What was supposed to be a midnight snack was practically breakfast now.Irritated, Blake wanted to throw it away. But realizing it was from The Deli, she thought better of it. She mumbled, "No point wasting free food."Suddenly, a noise came from the room. Blake thought something had happened and hurried inside. She found Liam on the ground, a glassware from the bedside table shattered beside him."Liam! What happened?!" Blake quickly helped Liam up and supported him onto the bed.Exhausted, he coughed and said, "I'm fine. I heard you talking to someone outside. Who is it?"Blake hesitated before replying, "No one. Just a burglar, but I scared him off."Liam asked, "Are you alright? Should we call the police?"Blake reassured him
