Since leaving the hotel ballroom, I had remained silent. The entire journey back to the apartment, I stared out the window. My heart and head were still burning from the words of those women.The car stopped, and the door opened. I walked into the apartment. The moment the door closed behind me, I immediately dropped my bag and my white jacket onto the sofa and slumped down."Cole."Liam's voice sounded. I didn't look up."Cole," he repeated, louder.I kept my head down. "I want to be alone."Suddenly, I was lifted into the air."Liam! Let me go!"I struggled, but his arms were too strong. He carried me effortlessly, his steps firm as he headed towards the bathroom."What are you doing?! I can walk myself!" I beat against his chest, but he didn't flinch."Quiet, Cole."In an instant, I was inside the spacious bathroom, filled with warm steam. Liam turned on the shower, then he fixed a sharp gaze on me."You've been sullen since the meeting. I don't like seeing you like this," he said.
