Suzy was speechless as she thought, “He’s definitely lying.”"Stop being so wary of me. I'm not some monster who's going to hurt you." Suzy's tone hurt his feelings.It had taken him a lot of effort to seriously pursue a girl."You won't hurt me, but you'll make things difficult for me.""We agreed that I could pursue you, and you would consider giving me a chance. I need to be able to show what I can do!" Ryan felt frustrated by her attitude.He wasn't that bad, certainly not enough to be rejected this much."I just don't want to waste your time.""You're not wasting my time, don't worry."Ryan hung up quickly, fearing she might say something else that would upset him.Suzy looked at her phone screen and sighed.In the evening, Suzy's two assistants arrived in West City.As a leader, she didn't immediately talk about work but took them to a local restaurant."This is so delicious! I've been to West City before but never had food this good," said Betty Gill, the first assistant, prai
Since Ryan had already given permission, Suzy wasn't bending the rules."Really? Yay!" Betty cheered and then resumed eating with enthusiasm.Suzy glanced at Shane. He seemed more relaxed than before but still cautious.In the workplace, people like him usually advance faster than those like Betty.However, there was nothing wrong with Betty's carefree attitude; it made life easier.After finishing their meal, Suzy took them for a walk around the area before returning to the hotel.She had planned to rest for a while before discussing work, but Shane had already sent the materials, and she didn't want to seem unmotivated.So, she grabbed her laptop and headed to the small meeting room in the hotel, which she had reserved in advance.With the three of them, working in any one of their rooms wouldn't be convenient.As she passed through the hotel lobby, she was about to call Betty when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.But when she blinked, the perso
Liam thought to himself that he just wanted to take a look, and he would absolutely not interfere....At the hospital, the outpatient department was already closed. Shane carried Betty directly to the emergency room to find a doctor.Suzy followed behind, handling the registration and payment.Fortunately, Shane was there; otherwise, Suzy wouldn't have managed on her own!The doctor examined Betty and found that she indeed had acute gastroenteritis. Luckily, it wasn't too severe and required an IV drip.After all the fuss, it was almost midnight by the time Betty got her IV.She fell asleep on the hospital bed while Shane sat beside her, watching the IV drip."Miss Chase, you should go back. I'll stay here. Once she's done, I'll head back.""It's fine. It's not convenient for you here either. She's a girl, and if she needs to go to the bathroom, you can't follow her." Suzy, though tired, insisted on staying until her assistant finished the IV.The doctor said Betty needed to stay in t
Suzy felt a bit nervous, so she didn't wander far and found a nearby bench to sit on.The voice call connected, and the driver's voice came through."Sorry to trouble you so late!""It's okay. Where are you now?" Suzy lowered her voice, not wanting to disturb the other patients."I'm near Jason Road. I can't get a taxi here, and I want to get back to my hotel."Suzy checked the map based on the hotel name he gave and then carefully explained the directions, including where to turn.He listened quietly until she asked, "Did you hear that?""Yes, I'm listening.""That's about it. If you still can't find your way, keep messaging me on WhatsApp, or you should be able to find a taxi if you get to the main street.""Alright."Suzy glanced at her watch and said softly, "Since you're in West City, I can bring the receipts to you tomorrow?""No need," the driver replied immediately. "I'll ask for them if I need them."Suzy was a bit confused. She had deleted his WhatsApp before, and he had to r
Since Betty had an issue the previous day, Suzy first met with Shane alone in the morning. After Betty returned from the hospital, the three of them went to the meeting room.Once they finalized the due diligence process and assignments, Betty stood up and apologized to Suzy, "I'm sorry, Miss Chase... It was my fault for eating too much and delaying our work. I won't do it again.""It's okay, the food in West City is delicious. I understand." Suzy stood up and patted her shoulder. "Let's make sure this due diligence is perfect. When we get back to the company, I'll ask Ryan to give you both some bonus.""Miss Chase, you're so kind! Thank you!" Betty looked like she was about to cry with gratitude. "Those who talk behind your back clearly don't know you at all!"Hearing this, Shane quickly gave her a look, signaling her to watch what she says.Suzy laughed. "It's alright, I'm used to it. Some people lack work skills but excel at gossip. Such people will eventually be eliminated by the c
"Have you ever had sex with a man?”As night fell, Suzy Chase, who was on a business trip and had indulged in a little alcohol, should have retired to her slumber. Nevertheless, the moment she shut her eyes, her friend Wendy Park’s words started echoing in her mind."Trust me, it's amazing. Seriously, go find yourself a hot guy while you're still young! If you can't find one, don't be shy about DIY. Plus, I've got a stash of adult movies, if you need a little inspiration, call me."She couldn't remember what response she gave to Wendy back then.Suzy lay on the hotel bed, her delicate face blushing from the alcohol, her thick, flowing hair scattered around her like seaweed.In just one month, she would turn twenty-six, already an adult woman, but she had never had a boyfriend, her first kiss remained untouched, and other intimate encounters seemed like distant dreams.In fact, Wendy had brought it up before, often discussing explicit topics on a daily basis. However, today, it unexpect
At dawn, Suzy awoke to find the man next to her still sound asleep. His powerful arm enveloped her entirely, and his steady breath lightly teased her neck.Aching and tingling sensations surged between her legs as the last traces of drunkenness dissipated, and her rationality returned.What had she done?...She had actually slept with the CEO!Suzy's breath caught in her throat, and she carefully withdrew from his embrace, then hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes, packed her belongings, and rushed out of room 1501 as if her life depended on it, heading straight to the hotel reception to book another room.As she was making the payment on her phone, she suddenly realized that the one she had asked for the adult films from wasn’t Wendy, but Liam!A few years ago, during a middle school reunion, the class monitor created a group chat, encouraging everyone to add each other as friends. Suzy still remembered clearly that it was Liam who added her first. However, after accepting, he
Wendy had quite a loud voice, and when she suddenly exclaimed, all eyes, including Liam's, turned in their direction.Fortunately, Liam only glanced briefly and then averted his gaze, without saying a word. He walked away from the hotel with his long strides.After everyone had left, Wendy approached with a gossip-hungry expression."Hey? Why did Mr. Park ask that question?"This puzzled Suzy because she had initially expected something dramatic to unfold, but it ended up being this instead.Suzy, however, felt like she had been given a break and, with a dry throat, she said, "My room had a great view; perhaps he wanted to switch rooms with me.”"Is that it?""Well, he is the CEO."Wendy shrugged and acknowledged that there wouldn't be much of a connection between them due to the significant hierarchy difference between Liam and Suzy."Do you think a handsome guy like Mr. Park would be passionate in bed? With his height, I bet he's well-endowed!"Suzy chose to remain silent.
