The driver and the bodyguard promptly entered the car. The car jerked into motion. Liam furrowed his brows into a tight frown, appearing highly irritable. Caprice was afraid to make a sound, so she made herself as small as possible like a child in trouble. Soon, the car stopped at the lobby of a penthouse apartment. The driver and the bodyguard stepped out of the car and quickly opened the door for the passengers. Caprice silently stepped out of the car while observing the unfamiliar surroundings with a certain vigilance. She carefully approached Liam and asked softly, "Liam, do you live here?” “Yeah.” “Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to bring me to your place?” she remarked cautiously, afraid of offending him. He had a girlfriend. If Heather found out about this, she would be very upset. Liam answered snappily, “Nowhere near as inappropriate as a university student like you sitting in a business meeting with a bunch of perverted men.” Caprice zipped

While setting down the bowl of soup, she stared at the plate of grilled prawns on the opposite end of the table. Five lucent pieces of grilled prawn, their charred skin appearing immeasurably crisp. She longed to bite into them. She stared drunkenly at Liam. When she turned to the table again, the plate of grilled prawns moved from its original spot and was now placed at her end of the table. She looked surprised. “Liam, why are you giving them to me?” Liam remarked, "I don't like oily food.” She refuted, “But they’re not oily.” “Just throw them away if you’re not eating them,” he said disinterestedly. Caprice hurriedly snatched the plate while smiling greedily. “I’ll eat them, I’ll eat them.” Liam took one look at her, then he continued eating. Caprice gobbled up all five pieces of grilled prawn in no time. Then, she moved on to finishing the remaining vegetable and soup, feeling completely bloated by the end. She set aside the utensils. It was only then

Upon knowing that, she heaved a sigh of relief. She took a step forward and said softly, "I don’t want to disturb you, so I’ll be leaving now.” Liam darted a glance at her. "Where are you going?" “I’m making a quick trip to the office first, then I'll head back to the dorm.” She had to explain everything that happened to Moses, at the very least. Liam glanced at the time on his watch before suggesting, "It's going to be lunchtime soon. You can leave after we eat.” It turned out that he had already ordered their food, therefore she could not refuse the offer. She nodded briskly and put her purse down before sitting on the couch next to Liam. Apart from Liam’s tea, there were several plates of snacks and drinks set on the table, all of which were Caprice's favorites. She grabbed a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice and took a couple of sips before moving on to the snacks. Liam sat stoically nearby. He had been holding the book on the same page for a while now.

Kenneth and the others were still stealing subtle glances at her. “Kenneth, are you sure it wasn’t that mysterious guy who got President Michael fired?” one of them voiced his suspicion. Kenneth answered ruminatively, “I don’t think so. She wouldn’t be working here for us in the first place if she knew somebody capable of pulling that off.” "That's true. I wonder what happened at SwiftTech Corporation.” “I have to give it to her. She’s smarter than I thought. At least, she knows to resign without having to be asked to.” Kenneth remarked dryly, “What do you know? She does have some brains in her after all.” … Caprice quickly packed her belongings. All of her belongings fit snugly in her backpack. After she was done, she swiped a glance at Jonathan. He looked like he was barely paying attention to Caprice as his eyes were transfixed on the computer display. His whole demeanor was very stuck-up as if he considered himself too good to acknowledge her at all.

Why did she need Heather to enter the city? She could simply go directly to Liam! Heather was doing the same old thing of boasting about her status in Carter Tech City and rubbing her relationship with Liam in her face. Then again, it had been a while since she last saw Isabel. She considered for a moment before deciding, “Thanks for your offer. It is my off day today, but I’m not in the city right now. I don’t think I can make it there in time.” “Well, that’s a shame. Isabel is going to be one of our ambassadors, and I’d love to introduce you to her if you came.” Caprice frowned. Why did she need Heather’s help to see Isabel? Furthermore, it sounded like Heather did not know about Isabel being Liam’s sister. It would make sense if the general public did not know, but she, of all people, should know. Did Liam never mention that to her? Freya emerged from the bathroom. Caprice was surprised to see her still sticking around the house since she should be at w
