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.”

  • 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 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 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 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 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 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

    “Someone’s following us, young miss.” Uncle Shan warned her, while he glimpsed at the rearview mirror from time to time. “Look at that white van, since we passed by the crossroad, it's already tailing us."Jacyn looked back and saw a white van in the distance. It was early in the morning and there we

    'Has she gone overboard? Was it worth it?' She asked herself while looking at the receding figure of the couple. Was it better if she just let Marco explain his side of the story? No, there is no other better way than this, to let him feel the same pain he caused her. They both deserve this."Are you

    "We're here, Jace." Liam's husky voice woke her up from her trance. She didn't realize that they were now in front of the restaurant. " What were you thinking?" He said while looking at her gently."Uhmm.. no-nothing." She shook her head, denying that she's in a deep thought."Are you sure?" He looked

    "What's my schedule for the day, Miss Lin?" Jacyn asked as she entered her office. She sighed as she saw piles of documents on her table. She just arrived and now, she's expecting a full packed day. Her work load seemed to have increased lately since the movie audition. She thought that it had somet
