“I can go on my own.” I unbuckled the seat belt and reached for the door

handle.

Just then, Anna widened her eyes as she stuck her face closer to the window

that she was looking out from. I noticed the change in her expression and

followed her gaze.

A tall, beautiful woman in a soft lilac coat had exited from the white Bentley

parked not too far away from us. She looked tall and elegant as she made

her way to the elevator.

Anna couldn’t seem to keep her eyes off the lady. She sighed in admiration,

“Liam must’ve been very successful at expanding his business, even this

princess–like lady is here to see him.”

“Who’s that?”

“That’s Yvette Shaw, the CEO of Solex Corporation. She’s the chairman’s

youngest daughter. She is a very capable businesswoman, and she’s been

chosen as the successor of Solex Corporation.”

“Solex Corporation? Is it the company that you and Father have always talked

about?” I asked curiously.

“That’s right. Harvey has a photo of her. She looks even prettier in real life. I

think even actual princesses could hardly compare to a woman like her.”

Anna’s eyes were bright with envy as she leaned back in her seat.

The Solex Corporation was somewhat of a mysterious and extraordinary

existence even amongst other elite corporations. Since the owner had rarely

agreed to do interviews, very little was known about them and their family.

You could hardly replace any photos or information on the internet about these

people.

Father once told me that he had worked his whole life to be able to build the

Nyra Corporation. For us to become as successful as the family that owned

the Solex Corporation, he says that it’ll require the effort of more than five

generations of people working continuously on the same goal.

Anna reminded me before I left the car. “If Liam is meeting with her, you

should probably not disturb him. It’s probably a very important business

meeting. You’ll only anger Liam if you happen to cause any problems then.”

“Things are not looking good for you. Know when you need to take a step

back. You’re not a child anymore.”

I nodded slowly. “I know.”

I took the VIP elevator reserved for Liam and his guests. Normally, the elevator

would go right up to the floor that I was heading to without stopping since no

one else would use it. However, I was completely caught off–guard when the

elevator stopped on the ninth floor and the door opened.

A little boy was standing just outside the elevator. I could tell it was probably

his doing since he was smiling playfully at me.

At the same time, all the employees working on that floor heard the sound of

the elevator door opening. They got to their feet to offer their greetings as

they thought it was Liam, who had shown up on their floor.

At that moment, all eyes were on me, and I could tell most of them.

recognized me. I spotted the various looks of scorn and disdain in their eyes

almost instantaneously.

They must’ve seen the news. They probably think that I’m just some easy and

lustful woman.

As a huge sense of mortification washed over me, I hurriedly pressed the

button to close the elevator door. Finally, when the door was closed, I

crouched down and lowered my head. I started feeling cold and dizzy again.

Eventually, the elevator stopped moving and I heard the sound of the door

opening again. I slowly raised my head to check the surroundings. There was

not a person in sight, even Liam’s secretary was not at her usual spot.

I stepped out of the elevator, barely feeling my legs. Then, I headed toward

Liam’s office.

I’m starting to regret having made the decision to come here. What should I

say when I see Liam? I couldn’t even stand those strangers‘ gazes. Would I be

brave enough to face Liam?

I didn’t even have the time to change my mind when I found Liam in the

lounge area the next instant. It was an area that was surrounded by huge

floor–to–ceiling windows, so I could see what was happening inside clearly.

Liam was seated on a sofa while the princess–like lady sat next to him. She

had a hand placed on Liam’s arm as she looked at him with a gentle and

loving expression on her face.

On the other hand, Liam appeared to be sharing some stories with the lady in

an excited, lively manner. He seemed so happy and alive while talking to the

lady.

People say that men would often act like a child around the women that they

love.

I guess it’s true. He’s always been cold and distant when he’s with me.

I was lost in thought as I stood there and stared at the pair, unmoving.

Suddenly, a young woman’s voice rang from behind me, “Mrs. Mendez?”

I flinched in surprise and turned around. Then, I saw that it was Liam’s

secretary.

For a moment, it seemed like she struggled to decide what she should tell

  1. me. Eventually, she looked at me nervously and said, “I’m sorry. Mendez is

a bit busy now since he has to speak with an important guest.”

I gave her a slight nod. Inwardly, I was grateful that she did not treat me any

differently.

When I decided to leave, I spotted another set of eyes looking at me. Liam

had somehow noticed that I was standing outside.

A sudden fear gripped me.

I hurriedly headed toward the elevator. Unfortunately, the VIP elevator was on

the first floor. I pressed the button and stared anxiously as the numbers went

up slowly.

The secretary was kind enough to help me as another elevator arrived on our

floor. “Mrs. Mendez, you can use this elevator instead.”

I didn’t even have the time to thank the young woman as I stepped into the

elevator in a hurry. However, someone caught me by the arm and pulled me

out of the elevator.

It was Liam.

His eyes blazed with rage as he glared at me. “What are you doing here?”

He looked so furious that I bet no one would believe that he was smiling so

happily just a few minutes ago.

As expected, he only shows these kinds of expressions when he’s around me.

I lowered my head subconsciously.

I know I should say something now, but I don’t think I can speak properly or

make a sound right now.

I’m just not strong enough to face him.

I should have listened to Anna.

I was never the brave or bold type. I shouldn’t have done something like this. I

shouldn’t have come here in the first place. Back then, I shouldn’t have gone

to Liam’s house and said those things to him.

Liam appeared to be holding back his anger since his secretary was with us.

“Follow me.” He dragged me along and pushed me into an empty meeting

room. Then, he instructed his secretary, “Lock the door.”

I saw that Liam was leaving, so I hurriedly asked, “What is the meaning of

this?”

Liam headed toward the door without offering any explanation. I tried to

make a run for it as I didn’t want to be locked up in the room.

When I tried to move past Liam, the man caught my wrist and shoved me

back into the room forcefully.
