Semua Bab A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Liam emerged from the bedroom, now dressed in a white casual outfit. His stern demeanor had softened, making him look as young as a college student ready to hit the basketball court.Suzy was still pondering how to keep him from following her. After all, going out with Liam would attract too much attention. What if someone took pictures of them together?"Let's go.""Mr. Park, do you think there might be any paparazzi or colleagues from our company nearby? Won’t it be risky to be spotted together?"However, Liam seemed completely unconcerned. "What's the harm in that?"Since he was so nonchalant about it, Suzy had no choice but to follow his lead.At the upscale supermarket, which had few customers and tight security, everyone was busy with their shopping, and there wasn't much nosiness around.However, Suzy made a conscious effort to maintain some distance from Liam. She went to the spare ribs section and politely asked the vendor to weigh them promptly.Finally, with the spare ribs i

"Alright."Liam nodded, then turned to look at her. "Have you decided to stop acting like you didn’t know I was your classmate?"Suzy narrowed her eyes and smiled. "I was just worried you might misinterpret my intentions. If I were to approach you as your former classmate, you might think I'm trying to exploit our past connections, and that's not what I intended.""I won't let anyone take shortcuts through connections," he said in a calm yet resolute tone, exuding the authority of a leader. "So, I can only offer you opportunities, not clean up any messes for you."Suzy had already seen this during her business trip to Newton City. If Transcend Enterprises ended up needing too much additional investment, she was sure that Liam would take prompt action and eliminate this burden, along with Team Three."By the way, SNS's headquarters is in West City. This project will likely require a business trip there next month, and you'll be going as well."Suzy discreetly made an OK hand gesture,

"What's this?" "I'm not sure," the nurse replied. "It didn't look like a sharp object, so I didn't think it would harm her. I didn't ask further."Suzy hurried over to the doctor's side. "Doctor, how is my mom?""For now, there are no serious issues," the doctor explained. "She seems to have had a sudden heart attack due to emotional stress. Have you discussed anything upsetting with her? I've warned before that the patient's emotions can be unstable and should not be provoked, as it could be dangerous.""I haven't talked to her at all today." Suzy paused and then walked to her mother's bedside, reaching to pry open her clenched hand.Indeed, there was a note in her palm. Suzy opened it and found an unfamiliar and somewhat messy handwriting."You’re still not dead after so many years? How much longer do you intend to haunt us!"Her heart sank as she showed the note to the nurse. "Do you recognize who gave this to her?""No! When we went out, I was very cautious and just took her for

Suzy had a strong urge to convey to him not to be overly kind, fearing that she might misinterpret it and desire might take hold. It felt akin to a parched person in the desert, constantly yearning for more after just a single sip of water...However, she lacked the courage to do so. She couldn't even muster the words, let alone display any emotions in front of Liam.Following him back to Easter Bay, Suzy took a shower and went to bed, but at some point, she heard voices outside!She opened her eyes and subconsciously checked her phone; it was three in the morning, and the man beside her hadn't returned to the room yet.She put on a robe and walked out, only to see Liam sitting in the living room, his brows slightly furrowed, conducting a video conference with the overseas company's head.It must have been delayed due to her own affairs, which was why the meeting was happening at this hour.A wave of guilt washed over her. Suzy noticed that he was only wearing a white shirt and looked

"Alright, I'll head over now."When it came to work matters, Suzy couldn't afford to slack off. After notifying her mother, she promptly hailed a taxi to Park Group's headquarters.She hadn't been to this place many times before. Previously, it was only during FortuneWave's annual meetings that she had the opportunity to visit. Upon entering the lobby, the word 'magnificent' was an understatement! The natural crystal chandeliers hanging from above alone must have cost millions. The surroundings resembled a museum, adorned with antiques and genuine artworks.Following Sophia's instructions, Suzy took the 12th elevator and went straight to the ninth floor. As soon as she arrived, she saw Sophia's office with the title tag "General Counsel" displayed on the door, emphasizing her importance within Park Group."You came quickly," Sophia, now dressed in a branded suit with subtle makeup, but exuding elegance, remarked."Is the Far East Corporation contract already done?" Suzy preferred no
