Chapter 37: A Decision to make.

The following morning arrived with an air of anticipation, the gala looming ever closer. Chelsea spent the early hours at work, attempting to avoid Liam’s gaze and focus on her responsibilities, though her thoughts kept drifting to the red dress waiting for her at home.

By mid-morning, the kitchen was abuzz with activity. The head chef moved through the room, issuing orders as the staff prepared ingredients and practiced recipes for the gala menu.

“Focus, people! This event will define us. If one plate leaves the kitchen looking less than perfect, it’s on you!” he barked, his tone both motivational and intimidating.

Chelsea kept her head down, concentrating on her assigned task of arranging appetizer trays. Despite her efforts, whispers filled the air whenever she passed by. The rumors about her connection with Liam had clearly spread among the staff, making her an unintended centerpiece of gossip.

“Chelsea,” the head chef’s voice broke through her thou

    Chapter 110: Unplanned EncountersThe sun was bright that afternoon as Liam and Chelsea stepped out of the car in front of one of the city’s most exclusive shopping plazas. The glass doors slid open, welcoming them into a world of luxury boutiques, soft jazz, and the scent of expensive perfume.Liam placed a gentle hand on Chelsea’s back. “We don’t have to rush,” he said. “Just pick whatever you want. You deserve it.”Chelsea smiled faintly. “You make it sound like I’m not used to shopping.”He chuckled. “Well, after tomorrow’s dinner, you might need a few new dresses. My stepmother doesn’t miss a single detail.”She rolled her eyes, teasing. “Oh, so you’re saying I should impress her?”“I’m saying,” he said with a grin, “I don’t want her thinking I’m dating someone who doesn’t know fashion.”Chelsea laughed softly, shaking her head as they entered a designer store. She walked between racks of glittering gowns and silk dresses, her fingers brushing over the fabrics. Liam trailed behin

    Chapter 109: A vital arrival Marina and Adams returned home later that evening, the air between them thick with tension and disbelief. The ride from the company had been silent until now, but as soon as they stepped into the living room, Marina finally broke it.“Well,” she said, setting her purse on the glass table, “I must say, that was quite an unexpected reunion.” She turned to face her son, her voice calm but her eyes sharp. “Chelsea. Of all people. Dating Liam?”Adams threw his jacket onto the couch and let out a bitter laugh. “You think I don’t see what she’s doing, Mother? It’s obvious. She’s trying to make me jealous.” He poured himself a drink, downing it in one gulp before continuing. “She probably wants me to regret ever leaving her. But I don’t. Not one bit.”Marina raised a brow, clearly unconvinced. “Oh, don’t fool yourself, Adams. You sounded more shaken than you’d like to admit when you saw her walk in today.” She walked toward the mirror, adjusting her earrings with

    Chapter 108: Meeting again.Adams and Marina stepped out of their car and into the lobby. The tension between them was subtle but heavy, both silently aware of what the day represented — the official reading of the will’s implications and Liam’s introduction to the board of directors.Marina walked gracefully beside her son, her expression composed yet calculating. “This is a crucial day, Adams,” she said as they entered the elevator. “Liam might be young, but he’s not to be underestimated. Your grandfather’s death shifted a lot of influence toward him. We need to be cautious.”Adams nodded stiffly, adjusting his tie. “I know, Mother. But let’s not forget — I’ve been in this office far longer than he has. The board trusts me.”Marina gave him a long, thoughtful glance. “Trust is fickle, my dear. Especially when money and legacy are involved.”When they arrived at the boardroom, the directors were already seated. There was a low buzz of conversation until the chairman cleared his throa

    Chapter 107: Living the dreamChelsea stood near the staircase, marveling at the grandeur of the home. The marble floors gleamed beneath her shoes, and every corner felt like something out of a dream. Liam emerged from his study, phone in hand, his expression unreadable.Chelsea turned, smiling softly. “You look like you’re thinking too hard.”He walked closer, slipping his phone into his pocket. “That was Adams. He just called me.”Her brows lifted. “Your brother?”Liam gave a small nod. “Yes. He wants to meet. I’ll go see him—it’s better to hear him out face-to-face. While I’m gone, you can walk around the house. Get familiar with it, explore. There’s plenty to see.” He paused, brushing a strand of hair from her face with surprising tenderness. “When I get back, I’ll take you somewhere you’ll love. Promise.”Chelsea hesitated. “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”Liam smiled faintly, a rare softness in his gaze. “Don’t worry about me. I’ve handled Adams before.”She exhaled slowly but nod

    Chapter 106: A new chapter The sun rose bright and clear the next morning as Chelsea stood by the window of their hotel room, gazing out at the city still half-asleep. Liam was already dressed in a navy suit, his usual calm demeanor radiating as he buttoned his cuffs.“Are you ready?” he asked, glancing at her reflection in the glass.Chelsea smiled softly. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”They left for the airport in a sleek black car, Alvira following with a stack of documents and her ever-present tablet in hand. Chelsea had officially left the company in the capable hands of the Vice President, a woman who had worked under her for years and knew the kitchen inside and out. Still, part of Chelsea’s heart tugged back toward the newly launched business.“You’ll do great,” Liam assured her, reading her expression as if it were written on her face. He reached over and squeezed her hand.At the private terminal, the jet gleamed under the morning light, its silver body polished like a mirror.

    Chapter 105: Lovers gameChelsea arrived at work that morning with Liam by her side. The drive had been filled with light teasing and soft laughter, but as they pulled up in front of the building, her nerves tingled with the excitement of stepping into her new role. This wasn’t just about her culinary skills anymore—it was her leadership, her name, her dream finally taking shape.Her new assistant, Alvira, was already waiting for her at the entrance. The young woman beamed, clipboard in hand, and said with a polite bow of her head, “Good morning, ma’am. The staff is gathered in the kitchen, waiting for you to join them. Shall we?”Chelsea nodded, a wide smile spreading across her face as she glanced at Liam, who gave her hand an encouraging squeeze. “Go on,” he murmured softly. “This is your moment.”With that, Alvira led her through the bustling corridors and into the kitchen, where the scent of fresh herbs, simmering stocks, and baking bread filled the air. The team greeted her warm
