Gwyneth could not quite understand Liam's fuss over such a trivial matter. She could not comprehend why a simple plate of spaghetti would require so much commotion, even if he had truly lost his sense of taste.She sat on the couch, watching the unfinished soap opera from the day before. Recalling how Liam had instructed his assistant to take note of the steps and method for making spaghetti, she could not help but find it amusing.At that moment, the mansion's front door was suddenly met with a series of knocks. Watching the maid hastily open the door, Gwyneth furrowed her brow. 'I finally took a day off for myself, and someone still comes to disturb me?' She paused the soap opera on the television and stood up, only to see Elizabeth walking in."Hello, Ms. Glen."Hearing Elizabeth's insincere greeting, Gwyneth sat back down. She responded with a soft acknowledgment, considering it an adequate reply."Miss Lisle, please have a seat. I'll bring you some washed fruits to eat. It ha
Although it was somewhat expected, Gwyneth could not help but laugh when she heard the maid confront her like that. "Mary, do you think this is the appropriate attitude and status for speaking to me?" Sighing inwardly, Gwyneth turned off the television. All she wanted was to relax and watch a soap opera, but it had become such a difficult task. Standing up, she positioned herself in front of Elizabeth and Mary, examining their appearances as her expression gradually grew cold.Realizing that her previous attitude was inappropriate, Mary slightly restrained herself. "Regardless, Miss Lisle is a guest. No matter what, Madam, you shouldn't do such a thing.""You just addressed me as 'Madam,' correct?" Gwyneth crossed her arms, speaking softly as she looked at the two women before her. She had no intention of explaining herself regarding the baseless accusations, but she would not let it slide either.At this question, Mary hesitated while Elizabeth secretly clenched her teeth. 'That ti
Elizabeth had witnessed Liam's cold face and demeanor before but never experienced it for herself. She wanted to help Mary out to benefit herself in the future, but she did not dare say a word at that moment.Elizabeth also noticed that Liam was not listening to her. 'This is the first time he's not letting me have my way. Is this because of Gwyneth?' She thought. Elizabeth could not help but glance at the woman. She became mad when she saw how much Gwyneth was enjoying the show.Mary was fired, partly because of her actions and partly because Liam wanted to exemplify her. The servants in the Luther residence did not treat Gwyneth badly; they mainly just ignored her. Although Gwyneth did not mind that, Liam was not thrilled.As expected, everyone's attitude toward Gwyneth changed drastically after Mary's departure. Regardless of whether they willingly did it, they finally treated her as the lady of the house.Elizabeth stayed for dinner that night. She was touched by the fact that
Elizabeth lost her appetite that night. What was supposed to be a delicious feast now tasted like nothing. She dreaded for it to be over.Once they were done with dinner, Elizabeth immediately followed Liam as he returned to his study on the second floor.Gwyneth also happened to go upstairs for some rest. She could not help but be amused by Elizabeth's protesting-like gaze. 'What is going on in that woman's mind?' she thought.Liam sat at the desk in the study. He looked at Elizabeth, and his eyes were slightly dazed. Since the day he learned that her wound was a scald, he started to act cold toward her."Liam, you said you'd let me work in your company. What exactly is my role there?"Liam froze when he heard that. He had agreed to this then because he wanted Gwyneth to go home with him quickly. But, now that he thought about it, he realized he had made an abrupt decision."Report to HR tomorrow and take a secretary position for the time being."Elizabeth was elated. 'Becoming
Seeing Wesley's sad face, Gwyneth chuckled lightly, left the office, and headed straight to Luther Corporation. She found that she had never stepped into Liam's company, whether for business or personal matters, to be rather funny.At the same time, Elizabeth had just come out of an office with papers in hand. She was just about to take the elevator to find Liam when she heard a familiar voice behind her."Please inform the project manager that I have a business meeting with him."Elizabeth stopped and turned to see Gwyneth in formal attire, dealing with the company's front desk worker."Ms. Glen?"Just as Gwyneth was about to take her business card out, Larry walked over and said, "Ms. Glen, are you here to meet the boss? Why don't I inform him about your arrival?"Gwyneth looked a little hesitant when she heard Liam's name. She had come to Luther Corporation for no other purpose than to discuss business matters. She did not want Liam to know she was here at all. However, before
Gwyneth laughed angrily at the receptionist's words. "Do you even have a good workplace environment here?" she said, no longer patient at the service. She did not intend to hold back since there was no reason for her to do so. Instead, she raised her eyebrows to show that she took no rejections. This was enough to make the girl at the front desk lose the argument.Looking at the staff's gaze, Elizabeth cursed to herself but finally opened her mouth because she needed to act as the good guy in the situation. "Ms. Glen, why would you argue with our front desk personnel? It's a little small-minded of you, don't you think?""So what you're saying, Ms. Lisle, is that you would just laugh about it if someone with a lower status than you comes up to you and pushes you down?"Gwyneth turned to look at Elizabeth and felt uncomfortable when she saw her fake smile."What kind of point are you trying to make, Ms. Glen? Don't forget that we're in Luther Corporation.""So what?" Gwyneth gritted
No one dared to doubt Liam's words. Even if Gwyneth were not the CEO of AMC Group, the staff of Luther Corporation would still agree with Liam no matter the proof."I'm sorry for my ignorance, Ms. Glen. I..." The employee at the front desk who was yelling earlier turned ashen. Her voice was trembling, and she could not speak clearly.Halfway through her sentence, the receptionist saw Gwyneth pick up the document again and said, "Mr. Walsh..." Her intentions were obvious.Liam's expression was filled with admiration as he gazed upon Gwyneth's powerful temperament and the stern look in her eyebrows. He then looked at Walter with a hint of hostility and said, "Make the final payment in full."Gwyneth glanced at Liam and thought, 'I guess he isn't so useless after all. I should've just asked for the CEO earlier. Maybe I could've gotten things done by now.'Everyone was silent for a while. Some of the workers who were standing on the sidelines returned to their positions after Liam arr
"How do you plan on dealing with this?" Gwyneth asked, sitting on the sofa in the CEO's office in Luther Corporation while she looked at the man sitting across from her indifferently."I will look into what happened and make the payment at the earliest convenience." Liam poured two cups of tea, put them on the table, and looked at Gwyneth with a hint of scrutiny. He had never seen Gwyneth in semi-professional attire before. She looked sharp but stunning."Alright. I'll be waiting to hear from you." Gwyneth rubbed her finger on the teacup's rim and got up, ready to leave. Liam subconsciously stood up, a little reluctant to let her go. "Do you wanna have lunch together?""I don't have the money to eat because my company has not received our payment yet, Mr. Luther. I'm not even in the mood to think about lunch right now," said Gwyneth.Things came to a resolution two days later because of her words.Gwyneth was signing some papers in her office when Wesley entered the room, looking
