"So what if I hit you? What are you going to do about it?"Brandon did have that intention. But now that Amelia had exposed him, it wouldn't be right for him to hit her.He never hit women, but since young, he had also never been talked to like this. In his moment of anger, of course he would do something rash."True, I can't do anything about you. But don't forget, Mr. Hamilton, Liam brought me here. If you dare to hit me, it would mean that you're going up against Liam." Amelia smiled, looking calm and indifferent."Don't lump yourself with Liam. You're just a flir—a temporary companion. Did you seriously think that you're all that?" Brandon asked. He wanted to say that she was just a flirt, but he corrected himself when he remembered what Amelia had said before."You'd better keep a low profile with Hannie around. No one will withhold any benefits from you as long as it's due. You'd better stop daydreaming. Stop having delusions about things that don't belong to you!" Brandon

Amelia was a light sleeper. When Liam entered the room, she didn't hear the movements. Yet, she felt as if a dark shadow was in front of her. Someone seemed to be looking at her.When she suddenly opened her eyes, she saw his hand reaching toward her."What are you doing?" She suddenly sat up. Her wary behavior caused Liam's expression to turn foul.His hand hung in the air. Then, he retracted it awkwardly. Standing up, Liam said, "May wants you to go downstairs for supper." With that, he strode outside.Amelia blinked. She wondered why he looked like he was escaping just now.When Amelia went downstairs, Liam was already sitting at the dining table.Thus, even though it was supper, May had prepared quite a lot of food. When Amelia came back earlier, she had said to May, "I don't know if he ate anything. Maybe you should prepare more food." She had simply blurted it out. But when she finished speaking, she saw the smile on May's face. Even Amelia herself was stunned.

Amelia thought of what happened yesterday and Liam's attitude today. Then, she shook her head."No, I should thank you. You were right. I should fight back."The smile on her face was earnest and brilliant. Eric knew then that she wasn't lying."That's good to hear. If not, I'll keep feeling guilty inside," he said.After chatting for a while, Eric asked with a curious expression, "So, how are things going between you two?"Amelia raised an eyebrow. "Are you interested in gossip too, Mr. Richards?"Eric shook his head. "I'm just interested in you!"He had an honest and pure smile on his face that didn't hint to Amelia any other motives. If not, she would have suspected that he had ulterior thoughts.But Amelia wasn't being delusional either. Those words indeed had quite a suggestive tone to them."Same old, I guess." Amelia didn't know how else to explain her relationship with Liam."I see that you're still wary of me. Are you worried that he might misunderstand?" There w

Alex looked like she had just made a discovery and had suddenly raised her voice when she asked that. Amelia's face turned a little red. "Stop saying nonsense!""I'm not saying nonsense. But don't forget, you still haven't filed for a divorce. Don't let Liam blackmail you!" Alex reminded Amelia with a serious look on her face.Amelia nodded earnestly. "I know. I know what I should and shouldn't do."The pair of best friends chatted for a long while. They still felt like they hadn't chatted enough when they were about to go to bed."Tell me more about that Richards guy tomorrow!" Alex said.Amelia had an exasperated look on her face. "You're so interested, but when I suggested that we meet him together, you refused!"Alex waved her hands. "You see him as a friend, so of course, I have to learn more about him. You'll cry if he turns out to be another Liam."Amelia was curious about Hannah, but she never had a chance to learn more about her.To Amelia's surprise, Hannah took the

"Do you know the owner of the restaurant?" In the private room, Eric asked Amelia.Amelia didn't hide it from him. "Liam knows her. I've met her a few times."Eric raised an eyebrow. Then, he put on an apologetic look. "Sorry, I was thinking that the food here was great, so maybe you'd like it. I didn't expect that … Will Liam trouble you if he hears of it?"If Liam knew about it, he would misunderstand her. But of course, Amelia wouldn't say that with Eric around."It's okay. Oh, right, you said that you have something to tell me about work. What is it?" Amelia asked."Well, even though this incident was resolved, I'm thinking of a permanent solution. I'm wondering if you're interested in becoming a manager." Eric knew that Amelia had changed the topic on purpose, so he didn't mention Liam again.Amelia was surprised. "A manager? Mr. Richards, you must be kidding. I can't be a manager.""You can if you're willing to. You're capable enough." Eric smiled.He continued, "I saw yo
