Semua Bab A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock: Bab 311 - Bab 320

Suzy was speechless as she thought, “He’s definitely lying.”"Stop being so wary of me. I'm not some monster who's going to hurt you." Suzy's tone hurt his feelings.It had taken him a lot of effort to seriously pursue a girl."You won't hurt me, but you'll make things difficult for me.""We agreed that I could pursue you, and you would consider giving me a chance. I need to be able to show what I can do!" Ryan felt frustrated by her attitude.He wasn't that bad, certainly not enough to be rejected this much."I just don't want to waste your time.""You're not wasting my time, don't worry."Ryan hung up quickly, fearing she might say something else that would upset him.Suzy looked at her phone screen and sighed.In the evening, Suzy's two assistants arrived in West City.As a leader, she didn't immediately talk about work but took them to a local restaurant."This is so delicious! I've been to West City before but never had food this good," said Betty Gill, the first assistant, prai

Liam thought to himself that he just wanted to take a look, and he would absolutely not interfere....At the hospital, the outpatient department was already closed. Shane carried Betty directly to the emergency room to find a doctor.Suzy followed behind, handling the registration and payment.Fortunately, Shane was there; otherwise, Suzy wouldn't have managed on her own!The doctor examined Betty and found that she indeed had acute gastroenteritis. Luckily, it wasn't too severe and required an IV drip.After all the fuss, it was almost midnight by the time Betty got her IV.She fell asleep on the hospital bed while Shane sat beside her, watching the IV drip."Miss Chase, you should go back. I'll stay here. Once she's done, I'll head back.""It's fine. It's not convenient for you here either. She's a girl, and if she needs to go to the bathroom, you can't follow her." Suzy, though tired, insisted on staying until her assistant finished the IV.The doctor said Betty needed to stay in t

Since Betty had an issue the previous day, Suzy first met with Shane alone in the morning. After Betty returned from the hospital, the three of them went to the meeting room.Once they finalized the due diligence process and assignments, Betty stood up and apologized to Suzy, "I'm sorry, Miss Chase... It was my fault for eating too much and delaying our work. I won't do it again.""It's okay, the food in West City is delicious. I understand." Suzy stood up and patted her shoulder. "Let's make sure this due diligence is perfect. When we get back to the company, I'll ask Ryan to give you both some bonus.""Miss Chase, you're so kind! Thank you!" Betty looked like she was about to cry with gratitude. "Those who talk behind your back clearly don't know you at all!"Hearing this, Shane quickly gave her a look, signaling her to watch what she says.Suzy laughed. "It's alright, I'm used to it. Some people lack work skills but excel at gossip. Such people will eventually be eliminated by the c

"No, don't touch this project, and make sure no one else does either."Alec was getting more confused by his boss' instructions.But since he was given this directive, there must be a reason!"Alright, don't worry. I'll keep a close watch on it," Alec continued with his report, "And regarding the person you asked me to look into, Shane Cole, he's an assistant in DollarMax's project department. He hasn't been with the company long, and he graduated from Fortier University with excellent grades.""Is he single?"Alec hadn't expected Liam to ask about this!At first, he thought Liam wanted to recruit Shane into the company..."Probably, yes." After all, the young man had only graduated a few years ago. It's unlikely he'd be married so soon."I don't want 'probably.' I need exact information.""Give me ten minutes."Liam hung up the phone and rubbed his temples.Thinking about last night, seeing Suzy and Shane together, made him inexplicably upset!Suzy was supposed to be with Jeffrey, so

Suzy returned to the table to find Gavin eagerly pouring drinks for his superior. When he saw her coming, he immediately made room for her to sit next to the boss.Suzy had faced this kind of workplace harassment many times before.She didn't feel the need to be polite. Ignoring Gavin, she sat back in her original seat.Gavin glanced at his boss, relieved to see he wasn't upset, and then said, "Miss Chase, Mr. Hanson has been praising you! He thinks you have a great image, excellent attitude, and must be highly capable to hold the position of Project Manager at such a young age.""Mr. Hanson is too kind, I really don't deserve it." Suzy smiled and raised her glass, "Mr. Hanson, a toast to you."Mr. Han, delighted, nodded repeatedly. "Good, good! I'll drink to that."Seeing their interaction, Shane realized there was no way Suzy would return to the hotel sober tonight. He discreetly messaged Betty, asking her to arrange for a car to wait outside the restaurant, ready to take Suzy back t
