Liesel hadn't anticipated Elijah's sudden kiss. She didn't resist, but she didn't reciprocate either. When the kiss ended, she looked at him with a faintly detached gaze.Elijah was smiling. He was clearly entertained by the situation.Why had Jacob come here today? Was it to enjoy the spectacle? Or to convince Liesel to return as his secretary?Yet, before Jacob could even bring up her reinstatement, Liesel had already decided she wouldn't be returning to Ford Corporation anytime soon.Didn't that mean Jacob had already lost before he even opened his mouth? How amusing.At that moment, Elijah felt as though his injuries no longer hurt. The glimmer of amusement in his eyes was almost tangible.Was taking care of Elijah more important than work? Of course not. Even at the height of her love for Jacob, Liesel had never been so blinded that she would abandon her work, let alone now, after being hurt by him.She was saying this to Jacob deliberately. "Isn't taking care of him import

"You came to ask me because you've already agreed to Natalie's request to return to Ford Corporation. You're paying her a high salary, yet you still need someone competent to clean up the mess, so you thought of me," Liesel said evenly."All of this is because Natalie needs me, and temporarily. But Charles is back now. Whatever I can do, he's more than capable of handling."Elijah leaned against the headboard. He casually speared slices of apple from the plate, taking a bite now and then. The smile in his eyes deepened.He liked this version of Liesel—the one who was clear-headed and unflinching. Yes, this was her. The Liesel who had once wallowed in heartbreak because of Jacob paled in comparison to the confident woman before him now."You're different from Charles," Jacob countered. Liesel's hand stilled as she peeled the fruit. Elijah naturally took the apple and knife from her hands, continuing where she left off. She glanced at him but didn't stop him."Of course, I'm d

Elijah was the type of person who always knew how to take advantage of a situation.Liesel was kind enough to cut fruit for him, so he pushed his luck and asked her to feed him as well. His eyes even glimmered with a hint of fawning. Though he was clearly as sly as a fox, in that moment, he looked more like a cute, mischievous kitten or puppy—one you'd want to ruffle and pinch its cheeks.Liesel felt a slight warmth and tingling sensation in her fingertips. She kept her expression neutral as she continued to cut the apple into pieces. Then, she pierced the apple with a toothpick and brought it to his mouth.Elijah smiled as he bit into the fruit, not forgetting to hold her hand as he flirted, "Lili, you feeding me makes it taste even sweeter."Jacob watched the scene with a blank expression. Elijah, who was still smiling, said, "Mr. Ford, if you also enjoy apples, you're welcome to peel one for yourself. Or… since you have another Ms. Sharp to take care of you, there's no need fo

Liesel raised an eyebrow like she was considering Elijah's game. Even the corner of her eye seemed to be raised.She slapped his hand away and then turned her head to continue reading. "Why do you think I'm still thinking about him?"This time, the world-class financial summit was centered around Ashthorne. All the attendees were renowned businesses from all over the world who were coming in search of partnership opportunities. Naturally, Liesel had her eye on a few projects that she wanted to bid for."The auction is in two days, after which the financial summit will be around the corner. The college entrance exam is starting in a month, and I have plans to drop by Ashthorne First High School. With so much happening at once, where would I find the time to think about him?"It's not like I have a lot of spare time," she said lightly.Although Elijah felt exhilarated to hear Liesel say that, he couldn't stop himself from saying, "Doesn't that mean you also don't have the time to th

It pointed to Liesel as the culprit?This was really ruthless.If this was really the work of Matthew, perhaps he never had the intention of letting Liesel off in the first place. Or maybe, he'd anticipated that they would protect Liesel and not let this incident blow up.No matter whether it was Matthew or Liesel, Jacob didn't want either side to get hurt."Cover this up. The official story is that there was a car accident, and he died after a resuscitation attempt."Henry had gotten hurt quite seriously in the accident. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that he'd died from his injuries.Charles was silent for a moment. Then, he turned around to work on cleaning up the evidence for Matthew.Although he said that he was doing this for Liesel, it was actually also for Matthew.Liesel had no idea about what Matthew had just done. While she was in the hospital, Denzel did a thorough check-up on her health.Her body was recovering slowly. Denzel flipped through her patient chart w
