Chapter 141

Liesel knew deep down that her heart was no longer capable of love. She had always considered herself to be a rational person. Yet, she understood that even the most rational mind could be overwhelmed by emotion.She had given all her love to Jacob. Although she no longer loved him anymore, Liesel found herself too emotionally drained to love again.Elijah was a decent man. If it was merely a matter of business, Liesel would gladly go along with him. If it was a matter of love, she hadn't even contemplated that possibility."You can rest assured, Chelsea. I'm fully aware of what I'm doing," Liesel said with a reassuring smile.…Upon arriving at Ford Corporation, Liesel could distinctly sense the employees' gazes. Yet, there was no ridicule in their gazes, just curiosity. Her colleagues knew firsthand of her abilities. They understood that the online rumors about her and Elijah were unfounded. They knew she had built her reputation long before Elijah, the playboy, had even made

He narrowed his eyes. A mix of indolence and pleasure gleamed in them."Last night."Liesel looked at him, her voice calm as she asked, "Were you thinking of kissing me?"Elijah froze.For someone as sharp-minded as him, it was rare to feel his thoughts whirl into disarray.Liesel straightened slightly, then slowly stepped closer to him. She extended her pale, delicate hand."Let me borrow your lighter."Elijah quickly regained his composure, though his voice was unusually husky. "What for?"She didn't answer. Instead, she reached into the inner pocket of his suit and pulled out a lighter made of solid gold.Liesel held it in her palm. She toyed with it as she looked up at him with a faint smile."Before I married Jacob, I used to smoke," she said casually.She continued, "But after I married him, I quit. You know how he is. He doesn't like things like this."Elijah's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he hummed in acknowledgment.Finally, he took the lighter from her hands,

"I need a beautiful, capable wife, and you need a 'lover' you can rely on. Isn't that right?"He added, "You married Jacob. So naturally, you can marry me too."His voice was low, smooth, and laced with an almost hypnotic allure."Liesel, I suggest you think about my proposal.""I will provide you with all the emotional value you need. I will be a partner you're satisfied with."Elijah was undeniably clever. He didn't profess his love or say how deeply he cared for her. Instead, he positioned himself as someone who could meet her needs—a partner she could approve of.It all came back to the same thing—a transaction.Liesel's gaze flickered briefly before she turned to look out of the window. The view was stark. Skyscrapers stretched endlessly into a pale horizon.The window was cracked open, letting in a faint breeze that tousled the loose strands of her hair.If she were honest, Elijah was the ideal candidate for love and marriage. But...Her hand instinctively moved to he

Elijah truly was a master of manipulation.Everything he had said was exactly what Liesel had been pondering all along.Denzel had mentioned to her that she couldn't terminate this pregnancy. Doing so could result in permanent infertility. She had chalked it up to fate. Perhaps she and this child were simply meant to be.But carrying this baby and bringing it into the world meant taking full responsibility for it.Her current situation, however, was both awkward and absurd. She and Jacob were already divorced. When the child was born, who would step in to play the role of father?Even though she believed a father's presence wasn't strictly necessary, she couldn't deny that from the moment of birth, denying her child the right to a happy family felt deeply unfair.And Elijah… Elijah was undeniably the most suitable candidate.Their shared pasts, similar childhood experiences, and the struggles they both endured allowed them to empathize with each other on a profound level."You'

It was a sign that the war was on between the two men.Liesel raised her gaze, and her eyes were cold and emotionless. She looked at Jacob and smiled.She appeared to be telling Jacob through her smile that she had found someone new. It was like a warning.Seeming to get her hint, Elijah purposefully wrapped his arm around her waist.Though he felt her body stiffen slightly, he didn't let go. Instead, with a low and gravelly voice, he said, "If the world comes crashing down, I'll shoulder the burden for you.""I have no use for you right now." Her gaze never left Jacob. "If the world comes crashing down, I can still manage on my own."They seemed utterly oblivious to everyone else. Liesel in particular acted as if Jacob was long gone and their relationship had never existed."Are you here to call us to the meeting, Mr. Ford?" Elijah's smile deepened. "I'm really sorry. Whenever I see Lili, I find it hard to keep my feelings in check. That's why we were held up. I hope you don't

Eventually, Elijah looked at Liesel and asked languidly, "What's our relationship?"With an arm resting on the back of a chair, he spoke casually, yet his gaze was fixed on Liesel.It was clear that he cared deeply about the answer as well.Meanwhile, Jacob's deep eyes were trained on the two.Liesel wanted to laugh.Elijah was truly quite a calculating man.He had come to Ford Corporation that day to make a show of being affectionate with her so that the others would speculate about their relationship.On the rooftop, he'd said that he'd leave the decision to Liesel.In reality, she didn't have much choice in the matter.They did nothing on the rooftop, yet who would believe that?That post had been shared everywhere. Everyone was saying that their relationship was ambiguous.Rather than leaving it ambiguous, she might as well give him a role right now. The only reason Elijah was so calculating was that he wanted Liesel to acknowledge him. He wanted their relationship to

Why did she choose Elijah when they had just gotten a divorce?Why did she give up on him so quickly?If this was the love Liesel had for him, why was her love so feeble?"What?" Liesel was stunned. The question had come out of nowhere. She didn't understand.However, Elijah did. Amused, he clapped his hands and chuckled."Because we're two of a kind. It's that simple." Elijah spoke up, making sure Jacob could hear his words clearly.In truth, Liesel could acknowledge their relationship in this situation largely because she had fallen into Elijah's trap.He had put his cards on the table.Of course, he was her best option right now. There was no reason for her not to choose him.Besides, it was his deliberate schemes that had brought about this situation.When Elijah noticed Jacob's reticent face and subdued gaze, he turned his head away and smiled, somewhat amused.Liesel looked up at Jacob and asked, "What do you mean 'why'?"Jacob glanced at Elijah, who was grinning wi

Elijah held the hand of his new girlfriend.This time, Liesel didn't avoid him."Take a dip in a hot spring during summer?" Liesel raised a brow. She could tell that Elijah had some cheeky ideas in mind."Tomorrow's my birthday. What will you give me as a present?"Elijah gently stroked the softest and smoothest part of Liesel's wrist as he asked. There was a hint of longing in his voice.With her head tilted, Liesel gave him a meaningful smile.She grabbed Elijah's hand in turn and warned him, "Elijah, do you want me to visit a hot spring and get even more intimate with you while Jacob's child is in my belly? Is that what you want?"Elijah's expression stiffened.He was well aware that Liesel was giving him a reminder.Even though they were in a relationship now, they weren't together because they were in love. They were together simply because they were compatible.It was simply because the shareholders had forced them to acknowledge their relationship. In other words, it w

Jacob's gaze never once departed from Liesel, as if he were waiting for her answer.Liesel softly chuckled and said, "If that's what you like, sure. You might have to wait a little longer if a pen is all you want."Elijah tightened his grip on her hand and chuckled. He was clearly happy. "I don't mind waiting for even longer if that's what it takes to get your handmade gift."Without a word, Jacob grabbed his phone and turned to leave.He strode into the elevator and stopped suddenly. He then supported himself against the metal wall and let out a heavy sigh.The other shareholders, who had been waiting for him, followed him into the elevator. They surrounded him and started talking about how the partnership with Dash would bring huge profits to the company."I'm not in the mood to discuss this with you now," Jacob said. His voice was laced with evident coldness.The shareholders fell into silence, clearly intimidated. None of them dared to cross him.Jacob braced his arms again

Liesel chuckled nonchalantly. "Mr. Ford, could you please let your Ms. Natalie know that I've only been temporarily suspended, not kicked out from Ford Corporation?"I'm the manager of the project department—not someone whom a newly hired secretary could humiliate!"Natalie's expression changed upon hearing Liesel's words.She couldn't believe Liesel wasn't fired even after doing such a thing. That was just too unfair!Jacob frowned. The coldness in his voice was evident when he said, "I'll have someone to arrange a new one for you. I'll also get Natalie to explain herself to you."Around them, the onlookers started laughing quietly, mocking Natalie. They had known from the start that she was bound to run into trouble doing such things.No matter how close Natalie was to Jacob, she should have understood Liesel's standing at Ford Corporation. Her things were off-limits.Natalie stood frozen in place. Her face turned as white as a sheet. The smugness and mockery from her expressi
