Blake went to the restroom. After she walked out and waited for the elevator, Susan stood beside her with her arms crossed as she said, "Blake, you really don't know what's good for you. Are you really content just being an assistant in a small company instead of taking up the position of the CEO's assistant? This doesn't seem like you. I heard you've dumped Mr. Harrison and have now thrown yourself at Liam Xander! Blake, why didn't I realize you were so popular before?"We've been colleagues for so long, why don't you tell me, who's better in bed, Mr. Harrison or Liam?"Blake did not tolerate her attitude at all and slapped Susan. Susan furiously glared at Blake. "Bitch! How dare you hit me!"Blake responded, "Who's the bitch? I slapped you, so what? From now on, watch your mouth. You're just an assistant. Who are you to make irresponsible remarks about me? With your character, do you really think you can handle being the CEO's assistant? When Mr. Jardin returns, not only will you
Blake thought, 'Liam is the editor-in-chief. Those who didn't know might think I'm not here to work but to enjoy my time in the company.'Liam tapped Blake's forehead with his fingers. "This is approved by me and is part of your job. No matter what you do, whether you're busy with work or leisurely at the office, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to be able to see you every second of every day!"Anxious, Blake pinched the edge of the bowl filled with cherries. "I really don't understand why you seem to have been unreasonably nice to me since our blind date. I don't think we've met before that."Have we met before our blind date?"Liam's gaze was intense as he looked at Blake. 'She really doesn't remember it.'He grabbed a few tissues from his desk, wiped his hands, and said, "Do I really need a reason to like someone? You have a boyfriend now, so I won't force you to answer this question of mine. I have time, I can wait for you."The word "wait" implied an uncertain and distan
Liam smiled slightly as he stared at Blake. "All right, I'll always be your support. If you encounter any difficulties, make sure to reach out to me, okay?"Blake grinned as she patted Liam's shoulder like they were good buddies.She responded, "Don't worry, if something really happens, I won't hesitate to look for you."The position of the CEO's assistant was quite coveted, with many people fighting over it. Susan had set her sights on this position a long time ago; otherwise, she would not have joined Cecilia. Susan had been in the company for quite a long time, and her capabilities stood out among all the other secretaries.For Blake to compete with Susan, she believed she still needed some time to become better.Blake thought, 'I'm not in a hurry for this position as I'm still young. From today onward, I'll officially start working properly, instead of Liam always being busy doing my work, and me just doing the simple tasks.'After work, Liam was the last one to leave the off
Ixia seemed lost in thought as she stared at Liam. She quickly came back to her senses and said in a friendly manner, "Liam."However, Liam was resolute, cutting her off coldly, "No need to be so friendly, we're not that close."Spoiled since childhood, Ixia had always gotten what she wanted. Even Yvonne, who was arrogant and domineering, avoided bossing Ixia around. Now, despite the Young family doing well, they still relied on the support of the Xander family.Ixia thought, 'Who does he think he is?'She pouted with a displeased expression and turned to Lylia. "Mom, did you hear him?"Lylia patted Ixia's hand. "Well, you said things that angered him. Later, put more food on his plate, so that he'll forgive you. You're still young, he won't blame you."Blake was extremely annoyed by them. 'They're all just putting on an act.'Julian looked at Blake. "Is this the girlfriend you mentioned?"Liam replied, "Yes, but it's none of your business.'Blake did not expect Liam to have t
Lylia smiled. "Leaving so soon? There's still so much food left."Julian said, "Wait, I have something to say to you."Liam replied, "If you want to ask me to move back in with you, you can forget it. I have my own life now. This will be our last time meeting. We won't cross paths again." Liam's words were cold and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.Liam helped Blake take the coat draped over the back of the chair. Everyone stood up. Blake looked at them with a hesitant expression. When she and Liam reached the door of the private room, she stopped walking, turned around to the other three people in the room, and said, "You three, when talking bad about someone behind their back, it'd be best to keep your voices down from now on. You're all adults, and it's shocking how careless you all are."Before Blake left, she even made a disdainful expression at them.Liam smiled as he patted Blake's head, and the two left the hotel.Liam sat in the driver's seat, and at that moment
Blake bought some groceries from the supermarket downstairs, like frozen food and drinks. She then ran all the way back to her apartment in the rain before going upstairs using the elevator. As Blake used the fingerprint scanner, she was suddenly blinded and strangled. She was then pinned to the wall with a knife placed on her neck."K-Kevin?" Blake asked while trembling. After that, she felt Kevin put his hand down."Turn the lights on," Kevin ordered.Blake obliged, "Alright."Kevin sat on the sofa while placing his knife on the coffee table. After Blake turned on the lights, she put her things down. She also smelled the metallic scent of blood wafting through the living room. Blake hurriedly walked over and saw Kevin sitting on the sofa with a pale expression. She asked him, "Are you hurt?"Kevin ignored her question and asked her back, "What are you doing here?"Blake knelt before him and argued, "I asked you first. Where are you hurt? Tell me now. Why didn't you go to the ho
It turns out Kevin had already fainted. Blake used all her strength to prop Kevin up and drag him back to his bedroom. Tears started to flow from her eyes uncontrollably."What happened to you, Kevin? Stop scaring me! Why are you covered in blood? What've you been doing these few days?" Blake cried.Despite her crying, Kevin had no reaction. Blake quickly calmed down and muttered to herself, "I can't panic. There must be a reason why he didn't go to the hospital. There should be some medical supplies in the house."Blake started rummaging around and found the medication and some gauze under the coffee table in the living room. She cut open Kevin's pajamas with some scissors because the blood and Kevin's clothes were all stuck to the bloody and mangled wound. Blake cleaned his wounds with trembling hands and then spread some ointment over his wound. Kevin winced from the stinging pain.Blake comforted him, "Just hold on a little longer. I just applied the ointment. It won't hurt for
Liam looked at his phone and felt some discomfort. He thought to himself, 'We shouldn't be acting so distant like this, Blake.'After fifteen seconds, Blake received Liam's reply. However, Blake had placed her phone down. She was busy cleaning up the clothes in the house. When she heard her phone ring, she did not bother because she knew Liam would reject her leave application.After a while, Liam sent her another message. Blake was carrying a basket full of dirty laundry and walking into the bathroom to wash the clothes. Then, she cleaned the entire living room.By the time she finished doing everything, Blake saw that it was almost eleven. The things she had bought from the supermarket filled the entire refrigerator. Then, Blake took off her gloves and looked at the clean floor while drenched in sweat. To be honest, she had never cleaned a house like this before.Besides that, she was boiling some vegetable soup in a pot. After this, she still needed to go to the drugstore to buy
