Chapter 81As he leaned forward in his chair, his eyes fixed on her, he inquired sharply, “Did we get another offer, or have some companies expressed interest in collaborating or hiring our newly built models?” She shook her head, her demeanor firm and resolute.Pursing his lips in a mix of frustration and curiosity, he pressed, “Then what is it, if not that?” Hearing the gentle chime of her laughter, he raised an eyebrow, puzzled by her response.A playful twinkle danced in her eyes as she teased, “Are you suggesting that I’m deliberately evading you?” Unable to resist the magnetic pull of his gaze, she studied his face intently, captivated by his intensity.“Why would I avoid you?

How is that possible?” he questioned, feigning ignorance of her intentions.Interrupting before she could offer an explanation, he continued, “I believe it’s crucial to maintain professional boundaries and separat
As Betty left the office, he couldn't help but feel a rush of mixed emotions. With a hesitant smile playing on his lips, he nervously reflected on the sudden kiss he had just shared with her.

As she walked away, his heart sank with each step she took, disappearing into the horizon. The sunlight caught the glint of tears in her eyes, a painful reflection of his own inner turmoil. The weight of his decision hung heavy in the air, a silent acknowledgment of the love he had reluctantly released. The empty space she left behind echoed with the haunting memory of her laughter, a bittersweet reminder of what could have been. He stood there, a solitary figure against the fading light, a silent witness to the beginning of the end. In that moment, he realized that sometimes love means letting go, even when every fiber of his being screamed out in protest. And so, with a heavy heart and a deep sense of loss, he watched her disappear into the world, a part of him forever intertwined with her departing footsteps.Fueled by a mixture of anger and determination, he muttered under his breath, "But not someone like Liam's, he's a scum."

Chapter 85After hearing his harsh words, she felt a deep sadness wash over her, but in a moment of vulnerability, she mustered the courage to speak up. "Please, don't hang up on me," she implored with a quiver in her voice. "I know I may not be the first choice in your eyes, but please understand that I love you with all my heart. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make things right, to make us work, if only you could find it in your heart to forgive the mistakes of our past."

Chapter 85As he emerged from the steamy bathroom, the lingering question of why Betty, his faithful PA, hadn't contacted him weighed on his mind. Quickly drying off with a fluffy towel, he dashed to his opulent dressing room. Amid racks of finely tailored clothing, he selected a sophisticated dark royal blue suit, pairing it with matching-tinted shoes. Satisfied with his reflection in the mirror, he strode out, every detail of his attire impeccably coordinated for the day ahead.He made his way through the spacious house, heading to fetch his suitcase before venturing into the garage. Upon entering the living room, he was surprised to see his grandmother, Grandma Creston, seated there."Oh, I never knew you were still home. I thought you left without having breakfast. I never knew you were still around," she remarked warmly, and he couldn't help but smirk at her innocent assumption."I obviously slept off. I had a cold," he replied, taking a moment to inhale deeply to clear his conge
