"Are you done?"Amelia hastily buttoned up her shirt, awkwardness written all over her face. Stealing a glance at Liam who stood by the door, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and stick her head into it. Ava didn't anticipate this, but she felt way better after getting to humiliate Amelia."Aren't you the sexy one here, wearing clothes like this to seduce men anytime? I accidentally touched you, yet your shirt slipped off just like this. Who are you trying to seduce?" Exasperated, Amelia turned to her and snapped, "I advise you not to be pessimistic just because you're the kind of person you described. You're just going to show others your true colors." With that said, Amelia turned to leave, but she could still sense Liam's gaze on her.Her heart fluttered in her chest. Her feelings were a jumbled mess. Right now, all she wanted was to avoid creating more conflict with Ava. "You! Stop right there!" Ava called out in a panic.Amelia had roa
After work, Amelia left the advertising studio. Alex came over right after Amelia returned home."Amelia, I heard the female celebrity called Ava got beaten up. I saw a video online of the person who beat her up. It looked a lot like you. Was it you?" Amelia nodded."I didn't think of beating her up at first. She was the one who provoked me." "Well, you should have beaten her up anyway!" Alex scorned. "She's just a mistress that breaks up the relationships of others. By how she flaunts, does she think she's Liam's wife?" Alex wanted to say more. However, she asked about Amelia's work after seeing Amelia's disinterest. Amelia then told her about everything that happened in the advertising shoot today."No way. Is that jerk interested in you?" Alex was terrified."Amelia, you must never move back. Play with him and keep him hanging. He'll naturally beg you to move back once he falls in love with you. By then, you can reject him. I would love to see how hilarious his expre
The hooligans did not actually adore Ava that much. However, they couldn't stand being contradicted. Their gaze became hostile. Alex was not afraid and turned around."Didn't you hear what I said? I'm saying this because I think Ava has a poor character. It's not like we can't discuss it, right?" Before they could answer, Alex added, "Or, could it be that you like flaunty women like her?" "What the fuck? I dare you to repeat that!"One of the hooligans was infuriated and pointed at Alex. The atmosphere turned hostile. It seemed that the few men were about to make a move. "Alex, forget it. Let's go!"Amelia was a bit scared and tugged on Alex's hand. However, the hooligans blocked their paths. "It's not that easy to leave!"Amelia clenched her fists and looked at the men."What do you want?""Apologize to my friend. Also, I realize you're quite a beauty. Why don't you join us for a cup of coffee?"The man in the middle had a creepy smile. His other friends also laughed
Instead of the expected humiliation, Amelia heard cries of pain. Amelia slowly opened her eyes and saw the hooligans squeezed together on the ground."Fuck off," the man standing in front of Amelia said indifferently. The few hooligans were so afraid that they quickly ran off. It was Liam. Amelia could tell it was him just by looking at his back.She didn't expect the man she thought of when she was in danger to appear before her. Plus, he even saved her!"Liam, you're amazing!"Just when Amelia hesitated whether to thank him, a sweet voice sounded. Ava ran over and linked her arm affectionately with Liam. Her expression was filled with admiration for the latter.Liam didn't answer Ava. Instead, he looked toward Amelia. He instinctively wanted to see Amelia's reaction. However, Amelia was not mad or upset. She merely glanced at them before going over to Alex."Alex, are you okay?""I'm fine. I'm not injured either, but …"Alex couldn't help but look toward Liam. Judging by he
Ava had been feeling a bit anxious and uneasy lately. Liam didn't look for her since they bumped into Amelia on the streets. When Ava called him, Liam would ask Gio to devise an excuse.Ava wondered if Liam had fallen in love with Amelia. Although Ava tried to interrogate Gio, she got no helpful information.Indeed, Ava had guessed something correctly. Liam was back at Riverbay Residence for a few consecutive days. However, it was unsure if Liam had fallen for Amelia. After all, even he didn't know the answer to that.Amelia felt surprised yet excited upon receiving May's call."Mrs. Prescott, where are you? When are you coming back?"May had asked the question in a careful and respectful tone. However, Amelia was too surprised to catch that."I found myself a job. I won't be going back if there's nothing important.""Mr. Prescott is back. He told me that he hadn't had your cooking in some time. Are you going to come back today?"While asking, May carefully glanced at Liam's ex
"You're right. You and he are not on equal footing in the first place. You can't keep relying on him. However, you should tell me if he's not treating you right. I'll find a way for you to leave him."Amelia felt warm in her heart. Maria was different from David. All she wanted from Amelia was for her to be happy.When it was time to get off work, Amelia saw a familiar car in front of the company's entrance."Get in the car. I'll send you home."When the car window rolled down, she saw Liam's familiar face. Amelia shook her head."No need. I can take the bus."She went to the bus stop in front after saying that. Liam furrowed his eyebrows. Amelia preferred taking the bus over letting him give her a ride. When Liam thought of that, he suddenly realized she had no car. Liam fell silent. Although he didn't like his wife, he never wanted to mistreat her either.When Amelia got into the bus, she saw the car driving off through the window. Amelia couldn't quite describe the feeling
Amelia's heart was still beating rapidly when she got to the office. She didn't know what Liam meant by saying that. For some reason, her heart was burning when she thought of his half-smile.Her phone suddenly buzzed. Amelia saw that it was a message notification after picking it up. The sender was none other than the man who just made her blush. Her heart beat even faster.Amelia felt a bit hopeful looking at the message. However, her finger hovered in mid-air for some while before tapping open the message."When do you get off work? I'll come and pick you up."Her heart suddenly skipped a beat."Come and pick me up?" she thought.Amelia felt a sudden rush of joy. However, the smile on her face vanished in the next moment. Amelia wondered what he meant by that.Firstly, Liam had asked May to let Amelia return. He was even sending her to work now and picking her up after. Amelia wondered if Alex had guessed it correctly. Could it be that he had fallen in love with her?Ameli
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Amelia asked.Liam's intense gaze made her a little nervous."You wanted to ask me about something, right? Go ahead," he said. Then, he let go of the steering wheel and leaned back in his seat. It looked as if he was keen on telling her the truth as long as she dared to ask.Amelia blinked. She thought she might be seeing things. However, when she looked back at him, he had the same look on his face."What's your relationship with Ava Summers?" she blurted out without thinking. She regretted it the moment that question left her mouth. "Why did I ask him that?" she thought to herself."Actually, forget it. I don't really want to know. You don't have to answer that. Let's just hurry back."Liam chuckled. It turned out that his beloved was still as timid as ever."She's just an up-and-coming celebrity managed by my company."Amelia pouted. She didn't believe him. She remembered what happened that night, after all.Upon noticing Amelia
