Blake held onto Kevin's arm. The two of them walked intimately hand in hand to the underground parking lot. Blake asked, "Where are you going today? When will you be back? Can you pick me up after I finish work tonight?"Kevin replied, "It depends. I'm not usually this free."Blake was unhappy. "Kevin Harrison, you're not working in the company anymore. What are you busy with every day? You promised yesterday to give us a try. Why can't you prioritize me? Or you can tell me what you're busy with!"Kevin's current plans involved shady and nefarious deeds, so there was no way he could tell Blake about them.Zach was still in a coma, and Kevin was not really sure what he should do next.Cecilia had already started making big moves, preparing to take over the company. So, Kevin believed what he needed to do now was to hurry and finish what needed to be done.Kevin thought, 'Blake staying by my side will only be a burden. Since there are things I can't tell her, I'll wait for her enth
Liam's body suddenly collapsed onto Blake. She was forced to lean backward and hugged him. Sensing his abnormal body temperature, she hurriedly called his name, "Liam?"Liam did not respond. She had no choice but to temporarily help him onto the couch and have him lie down."Why's his fever so high?" Blake held her phone, intending to call for an ambulance. But suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by Liam's scorching hand, as if he was seeking some comfort. He held her tightly.After Blake finished calling, she reached out to feel Liam's forehead. "The ambulance will be here soon, just bear with it a little longer."After that, Blake looked at him intensely. She had heard everything he said when she came in just now, including him asking her to like him.Blake had never imagined that Liam would fall for someone like her. She found Liam extremely kind, so she thought he would like someone gentle and elegant, like an official's daughter, just like Audrey. Blake heard from Kevin that Liam
The nurse frowned and said, "You should pay more attention to your boyfriend. The IV drip is empty, and we're very busy. We nurses can't be in every room all the time."Blake apologetically replied, "I went back to the company to get some documents. I'm not his girlfriend; I'm his assistant."The nurse responded, "He's been calling a family member's name. You should go check on him. It's not okay for a patient to be alone."Blake smiled and nodded. "Okay, I understand."When she entered the ward and saw Liam with his eyes open, she quickly put down what she was carrying and walked to him. "Liam, you're awake. Are you feeling better?"Liam's gaze was unfocused as he stared at Blake. When he extended his hand, she instructively grabbed his hand and helped tuck it under the blanket. "Rest well, I'm right here. Just call me if you feel uncomfortable."Liam said, "D-Don't leave me."He held Blake's hand, refusing to let go. Blake had no choice but to say, "I still have work to do. I
When Kevin glanced at Blake, she felt the way he looked at her was so unfamiliar as if he had never seen her before. He quickly looked away.As the door closed, someone who seemed almost lifeless was forcefully thrown out of the ward and crashed against the wall. That person then spat out a mouthful of blood.Blake's eyes widened instantly, and the takeout she was holding dropped to the ground."Oh no, someone's here.""It's quite a coincidence. Isn't this the person we met this morning?"When Blake saw them approaching her, she quickly explained, "I didn't intentionally eavesdrop on you. I just happened to be passing by."She was being looked at by many people. One person suddenly said, "Giant, do you know who she is?"The person called "Giant" rubbed his chin and looked at the man beside him. "How should we deal with this girl? We don't know what she heard."Kevin, in black leather boots, walked steadily with heavy steps on the marble floor, making heavy sounds. Black watched
Blake spent nearly twenty minutes feeding Liam the bowl of soup.After that, she fed him medicine which contained sedatives. Liam, lying in bed, reached out to hold her hand. "Can you stay with me? Don't leave."Blake was slightly stunned. She smiled. "Sure. Let's talk about everything else after you feel better."She sat beside Liam. When she noticed him falling asleep, she glanced at her nearly dead phone before slowly withdrawing her hand. Liam seemed to feel it and woke up restlessly. Blake had not expected taking care of a sick person to be so tiring. She helplessly lay down on the bedside and took a nap.The rain gradually eased up. After sleeping for some time, Blake shrugged her shoulders as she felt a little cold.Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps. The lids of her closed eyes moved. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure in the dark leaving the ward.She said, "Kevin, is that you?"Blake did not get a response. She quickly removed Liam's hand which was holding her
Kevin said, "Have you thought it through? Once you're involved, you won't be able to get out of it so easily. I won't be able to protect you if you're in danger."Blake grabbed his hand. "You do know I've never been afraid of trouble. Besides, I've always been very lucky; no one will hurt me."Kevin's gaze was intense as if he could see through Blake. She, with a determined look, met his gaze. Finally, Kevin said, "Then help me keep an eye on that position, don't let Cecilia's influence rise too high.""What do you mean? Are you asking me to take your position? But I'm not working at Jardin Corporation now, I can't do that!" Blake said.Kevin replied, "There are things that I can't say too much about. When the time comes, you'll know what you should do."Blake smiled brightly, pressed his shoulder, and kissed him. "I knew that you couldn't bear to let me go. I've never seen someone as stubborn as you. Do you want to try..."Kevin looked into her bright eyes as he asked in a low v
A bulky, chubby-looking guy among the group of people licked his lips and said with a smile, "Ms. Samford, you didn't need to come here personally over such a trivial matter. Rest assured, if he wakes up, I promise to skin this guy alive for you."Cecilia responded, "You guys are so loosely organized just because Zach is no longer keeping you in check now?""Ms. Samford, you do know that our boss has already stopped doing anything illegal. Now, we can only earn a little money to make ends meet. We didn't expect this jerk to be so bold as to mess with that situation. Now our base has been swept. Ms. Samford, what should we do?"To be honest, the jobs that our boss had us do were indeed quite nice, we didn't need to spend much time and effort, but the earnings were too little. Is there any solution?"Cecilia waved her hand, and the caregiver who helped push Cecilia's wheelchair quietly walked out of the ward.The door to the ward was finally closed.Blake returned to Liam's room. S
On the way back, Liam suddenly asked, "How are things going with him?"Blake, gripping the steering wheel, was momentarily stunned before replying, "We're okay. He went to the hospital last night, and we happened to run into each other. He told me that Cecilia wanted to find someone to take the CEO's assistant position. But..." Blake did not continue because Zach's fate was still up in the air. Blake overheard nurses chatting when she was in the hospital, saying that Zach was still unconscious. This matter had to be kept confidential. Even though she did not want to tell, Liam guessed what was going on.He opened his eyes to look at Blake. "Do you want to go back and compete for that position?"Blake did not dare to meet his eyes, afraid that seeing them would make her change her mind. She thought, 'I've just transferred to StartReading Literary not long ago. This company was founded by Mr. Jardin for Madelyn. Currently, most of the scripts and novels for show adaptations being disc
