The Forgotten CEO 62. Steel Wrapped in Warmth
The morning at Lee Group started like any other day. Papers shuffled, managers hurried down the hallways talking fast on their phones, and the office was filled with the usual busy hum. But Jacyn brought a bright energy with her that always made the place feel a little less rigid.She walked past Jawn Ng’s desk, where he was already buried under a massive stack of reports.“Don’t drown in all that paperwork, Mr. Ng,” she said with a bright smile, setting her bag down. “I don’t know CPR.”Jawn blinked, adjusting his glasses and looking a bit defensive. “Miss Jacyn, I assure you, I am perfectly capable of swimming through numbers.”“Swimming?” Jacyn teased, leaning against the edge of his cubicle. “So that’s why you wear those long ties. Lifelines.”Through the open double doors of his private office, Liam heard her bright voice. He didn't look up from the tablet on his large desk immediately, but a tiny smirk tugged at the corner of his lips at her wit.The playful mood shifted the mom
The Forgotten CEO 61. Hopelessly Sweet Distractions
The morning sun filtered gently through the tall windows of the Lee Group, casting a golden glow across the polished floors. Jacyn settled at her desk, humming softly as she organized her files. Liam glanced over at her from his leather chair. To anyone else, his expression was unreadable, but Jacyn caught the faint softening around his eyes."Busy day ahead," Jawn Ng announced, entering the room and neatly arranging a stack of reports on Liam’s desk before handing over the main agenda.Jacyn peeked over the top of her open ledger, a teasing glint in her eyes. "When is it not a busy day, Jawn?"Liam’s brow arched as he looked up from the papers, his eyes shifting from Jawn straight to Jacyn. “I didn’t realize my schedule was a joint discussion, Miss Jacyn.”She turned her grin to him, twirling her pen between her fingers. “Just making sure Jawn isn't letting you overwork yourself. Think of it as a bonus feature of having me around.”“Is that so?” Liam leaned back, a faint, knowing smi
The Forgotten CEO 60. Echoes of Forgotten Bonds
The lobby’s glow softened into evening shadows, and the air felt heavier with each word exchanged.Yan’s smile lingered, his tone smooth. “It seems Lee Group has grown even more formidable. I expected nothing less from you, William.”Liam’s reply was clipped, precise. “Formidable is necessary. Weakness has no place here.”Jacyn shifted slightly, her hands folding together in front of her. She sensed the sharpness in Liam’s words, though she didn’t understand why. To her, it was just business talk — two men measuring each other with polite phrases.Yan’s gaze returned to her, warm and curious. “And you, Miss Jacyn… you must be adjusting well. It’s rare to see someone bring light into this building.”Jacyn offered a polite smile, nothing more. Why does he speak as if he knows me? She didn’t care for his familiarity, nor the way his eyes lingered. Her attention drifted back to Liam, the only person whose words mattered.Liam’s hand brushed hers again, steadying her. His voice was calm, b
The Forgotten CEO 59. Hidden Smiles and Glances
The morning light was softer than usual when Jacyn stepped into the Lee Group headquarters beside Liam. The building’s glass façade shimmered, reflecting the city’s pulse, but inside it was all hushed voices and hurried footsteps.Employees bowed slightly as Liam passed, their eyes lowered, their movements sharp. He was cold to them, his expression unreadable, his tone clipped. Yet when Jacyn glanced up at him, his gaze softened, and he slowed his stride to match hers.She leaned closer, whispering with a grin. “Do they always look like they’re about to faint when you walk by?”“They should,” Liam replied dryly. “Keeps them efficient.”Jacyn giggled, the sound light in the sterile lobby. A few startled looks followed, but Liam’s lips curved faintly — the smallest smile reserved only for her.Jawn Ng was already waiting when they entered Liam’s office, a neat stack of files in his hands. He bowed slightly, his tone brisk. “Good morning, Young Master Lee. The reports from the finance di
The Forgotten CEO 58. Croissants & Confessions
The morning sun spilled softly through the tall windows, painting the kitchen in gold. Jacyn leaned against the counter, still in Liam’s shirt, sipping juice with a mischievous smile. Her hair was loose, her bare feet tapped lightly against the tiled floor. Liam watched her from across the room, amused, as if she had turned his orderly world upside down.“Get dressed,” he said, folding his newspaper with deliberate precision. “We’re going out.”Jacyn tilted her head, her eyes narrowing playfully. “Out? Where?”“You’ll see,” he replied, his tone deliberately vague.She smirked. “You’re terrible at surprises. You always look smug when you’re hiding something.”“Maybe I am smug,” he said, sipping his coffee. “But you’ll thank me later.”Jacyn rolled her eyes, but her smile lingered.An hour later, Jacyn found herself walking beside Liam through a quiet shopping district. The air was lighter here, filled with the scent of fresh bread and flowers from the stalls. The cobblestones echoed so
The Forgotten CEO 57. Borrowed Shirts, Stolen Hearts
The gala had ended, but its echoes lingered in Jacyn’s chest. The house was quiet now, the kind of silence that felt heavy after hours of music and chatter. She curled up on the sofa in Liam’s study, her heels abandoned on the floor, her gown pooling around her like spilled silk.The door opened softly. Liam stepped in, not with wine, but with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate.Jacyn blinked, surprised. “Hot chocolate? After a gala?”He smirked, setting one mug in front of her. “You looked like you needed comfort, not champagne.”She rolled her eyes but smiled, wrapping her hands around the warm porcelain. The first sip was rich, sweet, and unexpectedly grounding. For a moment, she felt like a child again — safe, cared for.Her gaze drifted to Liam, and then, like a whisper, a memory stirred. A boy’s laughter. A hand reaching for hers in a sunlit garden. Liam’s face, younger, softer, before the years had sharpened him into the man beside her.Her breath caught. I knew him… before eve
The Forgotten CEO 34. Her first day.
"Kring…kring…"Jacyn's standard ringing tone loudly rang. She was still sleepy as she answered the phone without looking at the caller's ID."He-hello!" She was half asleep. She couldn't sleep the night before. She just turned and turned and turned. It was already dawn when she finally fell asleep. "J
Last Updated : 2026-03-28The Forgotten CEO 35. Liam's Personal Assistant
Liam was feeling restless. Every minute that passed that Jacyn wasn't around, he felt that something was wrong. Did she back out at the last minute? What changed her mind then? Was it his attitude yesterday? Did she suddenly feel afraid of him? Was he way too hard on her?"Young Master, the receptio

"Let's get married." Jacyn stopped on her track without turning back. She had already walked away from him. "Jacyn, let's get married." He repeated it, louder than the first one. There was a hint of desperation in his voice. There were a few people who had heard him had stopped to look at them and w

She silently watched as her grandparents entered the airport along with the private nurse and her grandfather's secretary. She sighed unhappily when she couldn't see them anymore. She couldn't wait to see them until their scheduled return three months later."Let's go, Jacyn." She looked back at Liam
