So much time had passed, and they had gone too far down different paths. Even if they wanted to turn back now, it was already too late.Zac forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I’m not here to pester you. I came to give you something.”“If it’s the things you gave me before, you can just throw them away.”His expression stiffened. “No… it’s something else.”Liz frowned. “I don’t think I left anything with you.”He took two steps toward her but froze when he caught the guarded look in her eyes. These days, even standing close to her felt like a luxury.He slowly extended his hand, palm open. “Liz, this is something I promised you before. I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to keep my word.”When she saw the keys resting in his palm, she hesitated for a moment before her eyes turned cold.“Zac, what are you trying to do?”Did he really think she would be moved by this now?A bitter smile crossed his face, his gaze heavy with reluctance. “Liz, this is the house I once promised you. I act

William raised his brows. “Aren’t you busy preparing for grad school and setting up your law firm? Can you really handle it all?”Liz shook her head. “The people who’ve applied for the firm so far haven’t been a good fit. I’m planning to adjust the job requirements and the pay. As for grad school, I can push it back a bit. I was aiming for next year anyway, so I’ve got time.”William was quiet for a moment before saying, “I’ve been thinking. If you take time out every night to cook, you’ll wear yourself out. If you feel bad about it, how about this? After dinner we can go to the grocery store together. You pay for the groceries, and I’ll do the cooking. How’s that?”Liz hesitated. She liked the idea, but it still felt like he was carrying the heavier load.“But then I’d just be wasting your time.”“It’s fine. I don’t have work right now. I planned to take some time off anyway. Cooking for two people isn’t much different from cooking for one.”“Alright. Then for now, I’ll keep rel

Hunter didn’t want to be turned down.Ever since Liz left the firm, Hunter had regretted not telling her how he truly felt. He also regretted not asking his parents to step in and help her when she was at her lowest point. Lately, he had been drifting through his days at work in a daze, unable to stop thinking about her. He had tried to forget, but it was impossible.Liz frowned at first, then said, “Hunter, I think you’d be better off staying at Quinn Law Firm. It’s a strong, well-established firm with good prospects. My practice just got registered and could fold at any time. I don’t want to hold you back.”Hunter met her gaze steadily. “Liz, I believe in you. I don’t think your firm will fail.”The seriousness in his eyes made her press her lips together, a flicker of warmth stirring in her chest. Even she wasn’t sure of her future, yet Hunter had this much faith in her.“If you come work with me, it’ll be much tougher than at Quinn Law Firm. You’ll have to handle all sorts o

“It’s rush hour right now, so I left half an hour early to avoid the worst of the traffic.”“Yeah, we left about ten minutes early too, but still got stuck for a bit.”Liz walked over and sat down next to William, then called the server over to start ordering.After they finished with the menu, Liz excused herself and stepped out to the restroom.As soon as the door closed behind her, Hunter turned to William. “Uncle William, I didn’t expect you to know Liz.”At the way he addressed her by her first name instead of Ms. Smith, William’s brows furrowed. “I plan on pursuing her.”Hunter froze, blindsided by how direct he was. It took him a few seconds before he could gather the nerve to say, “Uncle William, I like her too. I’m not giving up. We’ll compete fair and square.”He had given up his position at Quinn Law Firm to be by Liz’s side—not just to help her build the new firm, but also to win her heart. Even if his rival was his uncle, he had no intention of backing down.Willia

Liz had spent the whole night thinking, only to feel even more tangled than before. Her mind was a mess of knots. Every time she tried to unravel them, the strands only tightened further.After washing up, she checked the time, got dressed, and headed out.The moment she opened her door, the one across the hall opened too.Their eyes met. Liz was the first to look away.Noticing her evasive gaze, William’s eyes flickered, and he spoke softly. “Good morning.”“Morn…” Liz quickly shut her door and lowered her head as she walked toward the elevators.She had just stepped into the elevator lobby when she heard footsteps behind her.“Liz, I need to talk to you.”Before he could go on, Liz blurted out, “Mr. Sanders, I’m really busy today. I don’t think I’ll have time.”Hearing her call him Mr. Sanders instantly put distance between them, and a flicker of disappointment crossed William’s eyes. It seemed she had no intention of accepting his feelings.“It won’t take long,” he said qu
