Liam exhaled a sigh of relief after they agreed to the terms of the contract. He would work tirelessly to accomplish his goal after becoming aware of his feelings. This decision prompted Liam to display various gestures of goodwill, most of which left Gwyneth unsure of how to react.One morning after the two had breakfast, Gwyneth went back to her room to grab her coat and documents. Liam was gone by the time she went downstairs.Initially, Gwyneth did not think much about it because she assumed he had gone straight to the office. However, she was shocked to discover Liam waiting outside after she put on her coat. He was well-groomed, leaning against the car, and bowed his head to fasten his cufflinks.Gwyneth asked curiously, "You…What are you doing?"Liam slowly raised his head, his eyes displaying a hint of amusement. The man responded, "I'm giving you a ride.""Giving me a ride?" A stupefied Gwyneth repeated after him.She needed some time to process this. After bringing her
As the distance between the two people gradually narrowed, Gaspard could no longer stand it and yelled, "Gwyneth!"It was the time of the day when employees arrived at their workplace. Many Glen Corporation employees were going in and out of the building. When they heard this, they could not help but look at them.Gwyneth scowled and sported a fake smile, asking, "Mr. Glen, what can I do for you?"Liam was standing not far from Gwyneth. He watched with crossed arms and had no intention of stepping forward. Up to this point, the two had never talked about Gwyneth's family, but Liam knew that his wife did not want him to get involved in her family affairs just yet.Gaspard swept his eyes at Liam after hearing this. He was relieved when Liam remained silent. Gaspard roared, "Gwyneth! I'm asking you! Why can't I enter the office? Did you do this to me?""You don't have to speak so loudly. I'm still young, and my hearing is fine," Gwyneth mocked in a helpless tone.Liam chuckled sec
Given that the security guard knew Gaspard, he pulled him away gently.Even so, Gaspard was indignant. He was the company's former president and was now a major shareholder. It was bad enough to ban him from entering the company, but he was yanked away by a security guard later. He appeared to have fallen from a respectable position to that of a street thug.Gaspard felt his body turn numb, and he started to see stars. He tightened his fists and gnashed his teeth because he was about to lose all sense.It was a pity that Liam was right in front of him, standing only a meter away. Liam's strength and cunning made him a terrifying presence to Gaspard. Even when he had been Glen Corporation's president, Liam was someone he feared, let alone now. Despite feeling angry, Gaspard had to control his anger and dared not say a word.He grew more interested in Liam's relationship with Gwyneth than his own situation.'Since when did he and Gwyneth get along so well? Earlier this morning, thos
The knock on the door caused Gwyneth's hand, which was holding the cup, to shake a little. Before she could respond, the door was pushed open from the outside. It was Judy. She entered the room swiftly, holding a file in her hand. She was actually filled with resentment and jealousy at this point. Gwyneth had made a fool of their father and forbidden the respectable board member from entering the building. If this got out, he would become a laughingstock. Judy had therefore come here seeking an explanation on Gaspard's behalf. When she stormed into the office, she was astonished to see Gwyneth and Liam enjoying tea. Judy's expression froze instantly. The flames of jealousy in her heart flared, but she quickly calmed herself. She wore what she thought was a very gentle and sweet smile and walked toward the desk. She greeted, "Good morning, Liam. I didn't expect to see you here so early in the morning." He set his teacup down and casually replied, as if it were a common thing t
Judy observed that Liam was clearly interested in this project because his gaze was following Gwyneth around. In order to impress Liam, Judy cleared her throat and boasted, "I have notes on the report for what we need to prepare for the initial stage and matters to be discussed."Judy provided a thorough report. Nevertheless, after every few sentences she spoke, she would turn to look at Liam. She was able to observe his facial expressions and demeanor by doing this. She started to fantasize when she saw Liam's lips form a smile.Liam had noticed the issues that Gwyneth had spotted earlier on. He pulled over a chair, sat down next to Gwyneth, and wiggled his fingers at her.Judy assumed that Liam appreciated her work when she saw this. She thought that she had done an excellent report which Liam found intriguing. And that was why he wanted to examine it closely. Liam's reaction was more exciting and passionate than any stimulant for her. Judy felt that her throat was slightly dry,
When Liam noticed Gwyneth's glare, he felt even more innocent.Liam thought to himself. 'What on earth is going on? I thought we were getting along well today. In some ways, I played the role of a hero saving a damsel in distress. We got so close that I was a little distracted when I looked at the documents. After all, no man could keep their composure when their significant other sat next to them.'The sensation on his shirt brought Liam back to reality.Judy was concentrating on cleaning the tea stains on his shirt. Judy suddenly grabbed his arm as he wrinkled his brows and prepared to say something. He looked over his shoulder and saw Gwyneth grasping Judy's arm.Gwyneth's expression showed that she was clearly annoyed. She clenched her teeth as she glared at Judy. She asked her in a soft but chilly voice, "What are you doing?"Judy replied as if it were the most natural thing to say, "Liam's clothes have hot tea stains."Suddenly, Judy experienced severe arm pain. She l
After Gwyneth went back to her office, Wanda talked with her about some work-related issues. Gwyneth did not discuss her position or relationship with Hayden clearly, and Wanda did not pry further. Perhaps it was a tacit understanding between adults.They had some shared understandings, but if they discussed them, things would be different. Wanda had risked her life to save Gwyneth when they were being kidnapped, that alone was more than enough.Gwyneth gently patted Wanda's shoulder, and her eyes were clouded with worry. She urged, "The project hasn't started yet. You can take a few more days off if you're not feeling well."Wanda shook her head and placed last week's report on the desk. She stated, "Ms. Glen, I'll get back to my work right away."Gwyneth skimmed the report. It was visually pleasing and well organized. She cast an appreciative glance at Wanda before allowing her to leave.Wanda quickly pulled out her phone and messaged Hayden after leaving the office. She wrote
The way things were right now gave Gwyneth a headache. Liam almost drove her to work every day. He always picked her up after she finished work. She subsequently kept the flowers Hayden sent in the office lounge before she went home.Although Gwyneth did not consider her actions odd at the time, she did not want Liam to know that Hayden had presented her with so many flowers.Gwyneth just finished her afternoon meeting on this particular day. There was an hour left before she left work. She figured she would take some time to relax before deciding what she should do next. Someone knocked on the door as soon as she sat down in her chair.She initially assumed it was Wanda. Not thinking much about it, she asked her to come in. The person who entered her room turned out to be Liam.Gwyneth stuttered, "You…Why are you here this early?"Her eyes were initially half-closed, but at this precise moment, she had opened them wide in surprise. She then noticed the bouquet on the table. She s
