All Chapters of A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"I won't allow it! You have to live with me!" Wendy pouted and was about to complain.Jeffrey's gaze suddenly fell on her cheek."Suzy, your face..."Upon his reminder, Wendy's eyes also shifted to Suzy's face, widening in shock."Oh my God! What happened to your face? Did your mother hit you again?""No, no, this time it's really self-inflicted." Suzy covered the wound with her hand, clearly unwilling to discuss it.Wendy was about to accuse her of lying when Jeffrey tugged her from behind and signaled her with his eyes not to press further."Come on, let me help you with your luggage and since it's like a housewarming today, I'll treat you to a nice meal.""Yeah! You're the most generous, Jeff! Let's go, Suzy, upstairs!"Suzy nodded and followed them.Out of habit, she took out her phone to check WhatsApp.Still no message from Liam. He hadn't sent a message, made a call, or shown any sign of activity.But Alec said he had called in the morning, which meant he was awake. He just chos

Jeffrey still wanted to push the money back, but Wendy stepped in first, stuffing it directly into his arms."Okay, then Jeff will accept it!""Huh?"Suzy chuckled, picking up her phone and standing up. "I'm going to the restroom, you guys can continue eating."As soon as she left, Jeffrey looked at the stack of money with a helpless frown. "What does it mean if I accept this money?""You don't understand Suzy! She's always so cautious, wishing to account for every penny. If you want any future with her, you can't be so impulsive," Wendy said helplessly when she spoke of her friend.Having known her for so many years, the most vivid description Wendy had of Suzy was that Suzy lacked a sense of security.Yet, she often pretended to be strong."She really needs money now, her mother's surgery costs a lot. Does she really need to be so calculative?" Jeffrey realized that Suzy was not the girl he had imagined.It seemed like she was always distancing herself, cutting ties with any relatio

Approaching noon, Suzy finally had a moment to relax and let out a sigh.She subconsciously glanced at the phone beside her, then picked it up, unlocked it, and opened WhatsApp.There were no new messages.Liam's WhatsApp was the third on the screen, with the last message being the one she had sent to him.Suzy suddenly wished that she could see him online on WhatsApp.But even if she were to see him come online, what could she possibly say to him?There was a knock on the office door.Suzy looked up, and it was Alec."Lately, keep an eye on the GrowthTech Company in New Valley. They've been making frequent moves in terms of asset acquisitions this year, mainly focusing on new technology development assets. “Mr. Park's business trip this time is also to gather information about this situation. We at Park Group are considering injecting promising publicly listed companies through targeted issuance.”"Alright." Suzy immediately opened her computer and started to get a basic understandin

After returning to Wendy's house, Suzy didn't even have time to drink water. She immediately started organizing the materials she would need for the meeting.Since the task from GrowthTech had just been assigned to her today, and it was a major move for the company, she needed to pay full attention during the meeting because her understanding of this project was still at a basic level. After preparing everything she could think of, Suzy sat in her chair, on her computer, and entered the company's meeting interface.It displayed – 8 P.M. Channel One Technology Development Project Meeting Main Host: Liam Park.”As she gazed at the name on the screen, a sudden wave of anxiety washed over Suzy, as though her concerns had just sprung to life.Would she get to witness his injuries during the meeting? Would his face be permanently scarred?She lowered her gaze to the bottom right corner of the computer. There was still nearly an hour before the meeting started. Normally, she should go find

Were those words targeted at her?Seeing a flood of responses below, Suzy quickly sent a message acknowledging receipt.The meeting continued until one in the morning, but with the CEO as the host, no one dared to yawn.Finally, the CEO's secretary concluded the meeting and announced, "That's it for today's meeting."Suzy breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to turn off her camera and stretch when Liam added at the end, "The person in charge of the new car technology project mentioned in the meeting earlier will meet me separately.""Are you referring to the project led by Jeffrey Palmer?" Alec asked directly."Yes.""Alright! Miss Chase from the Investment Department, you will connect with Mr. Park separately."Suzy really hadn't expected this surprise. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she nodded quickly. "Okay."Exiting the meeting room, she stared at Liam’s personal account for several seconds but couldn't muster the courage to request the connection.She was afraid and emb
