Liam stopped. Caprice jerked away and fell over, landing on the ground with a soft thud. She saw her father standing in front of the window. Her cheeks were burning. She covered her face with her hands and did not even bother to pick herself off the ground. For the first time, she could spot a hint of nerves in Liam’s usually cool and composed expression. It went away as quickly as it came. After he recomposed himself, he went to Caprice and carried her in his arms. He turned to John and spoke solemnly, "Uncle Stockton, Caprice hit her head. I’ll carry her back to her room.” John cast a sharp look at him with a grunt, “Hm.” With that, Liam carried Caprice in his arms and started to walk away. Once they were out of the courtyard, she removed her hands from her face. She instantly met Liam’s eyes. He was looking down at her. He must have seen how rattled she had become, but he wore a faint smile. It looked like he was holding back laughter. Caprice shot a

After a while, she received a response from Liam. Instead of sending her a text, he gave her a video call. Her eyes shone with joy as she promptly accepted the video call. His charming and handsome face, which she had been missing for so long, showed up on the display. She greeted him with a brilliant smile, “Hey, Liam, finished with work already?” “Almost.” Liam leaned against his chair and asked with a sparkle in his eyes, “What have you been up to today?” “Same old, same old,” she remarked, then added shyly, “And I’ve been thinking about you.” It was true—she had been thinking about him. Something stirred in Liam’s eyes, and a shadow of a smile surfaced on his lips. “I’ll visit you in a few days.” Caprice was glad to hear this. “Sure!” She could fairly hear the voice of his assistant in the background. It sounded like the assistant was relaying a report. She said mindfully, “I’ll let you get back to work.” “Alright, make sure you don’t stay up late

After breakfast, Caprice and John arrived at the Stockton Corporation headquarters. John personally walked her into the department in charge of the project. He made sure to leave behind a message with the supervisor before leaving. Soon, a personal desk was assigned to Caprice. Seated to her left and right were two senior members of the team, and they were going to be her assistants going forward. They were both in their thirties, one was a man named Logan, and the other a lady named Brianne. They seemed very friendly. It was only right that they would be very cordial with her. They were dealing with the future successor of the corporation after all. Most of the preliminary details of the joint project with Carter Tech City had been worked out. Brianne handed Caprice a stack of documents with the relevant information. Then, she went through everything along with Logan and made sure to highlight certain key phrases as well as some industry lingo that Caprice may be unf

It was a dreamless night. Knowing that Liam would be coming, she woke up the next day before dawn even broke. After she washed, she stayed inside the dressing area for a while and debated on what to wear. She ended up opting for a formal shirt paired with a fitted skirt with a coat thrown on top. She combed her hair neatly behind her ears. With that, she walked out of the dressing area, ready for the day. Brianne and Logan had already supplied the required documents to her. All she needed to do was to hand them over to Liam and brief him about the details. At around ten, the receptionist informed her that Liam had arrived. She rose immediately and went to the VIP room with Logan and Brianne. The VIP room was on the second floor. They took the elevator, and it took five minutes for them to get there. Upon opening the door, the bright, brilliant ceiling lights flashed in their face. They saw a man in a leather jacket seated on the couch. Her eyes shone. Her fir

Fortunately, his movements were very gentle. Caprice quickly moved past the shock. She hugged him tightly and craned her head up. She responded to his passionate kisses with her own inexperienced kisses. At one point, he suddenly removed his lips from hers and pressed her head into his chest. Caprice clung to him like she was going to melt into him. She could not pry herself free and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” Why did he suddenly stop kissing her? She was just getting in the mood. Liam took a few deep breaths. He took his time getting the tempo of his breathing back to normal before he answered, “Nothing, I’m fine.” After a pause, he suddenly proposed, "Caprice, let's get engaged." Caprice made a start, then she turned up to look at him. He had removed his palm from the back of her head at one point. The moment she looked up, she stared into the glow in his eyes. On the outside, he may look cool and imposing, but what was on the inside was a complete
