Chapter 1948
What???
Had he been awake since the moment she came into the office?
He was awake when she was feeling up his collarbone and his abs all along?
Flabbergasted, her cheeks reddened in a mix of embarrassment and humiliation. She frowned disapprovingly and
shrieked his full name, "Liam Carter!!"
Liam squinted playfully. "Hm?”
Caprice made a show of grunting and pouting, expressing her disapproval. She was still slightly irked.
Liam ruffled her hair and asked with a faint smile, "Do you still want to touch me?"
His shirt was still open, his body in full view.
Caprice's eyes blazed at the prospect, and her anger dissipated instantly.
"Can I?" she asked uncertainly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiam broke into a chuckle. "Sure."
She obliged and began to feel his toned muscles.
After the two messed around for a while longer, Caprice’s stomach began growling. She cringed and immediately
put a hand to her stomach to silence the hunger.
Liam grinned. ''Hungry?”
She muttered shyly, "Yeah."
She had not had a single bite of food since leaving Glanchester, and it was already afternoon.
"Take a seat on the couch over there.” Liam gestured. Then, he went to the desk and picked up the landline phone
on the table to make a call.
Caprice could hear him speaking to someone on the phone. "Get us lunch.’
After that, he opened his desk drawer and extracted a pack of bread from it. He would usually snack on some
bread while he was busy with work just to fill his stomach. He was not sure if Caprice would be a fan of the bread
since it was not as flavorful as her usual choice of food.
He handed the bread to her and poured her a glass of water on the side. " Eat this to fill your stomach for now.
Lunch will be here for a second."
Caprice smiled. "Okay, thank you."
She tore the wrapper open and started eating.
It was not very tasteful, but at least it was fresh and its texture was springy when she bit into it, so she enjoyed the
bread.
Liam observed her with a faint smile.
Just as he said, the secretary knocked on the door shortly after that and brought lunch into the room.
Liam gently caressed her head. "I have a meeting. I'll be right back."
"Alright, go ahead."
He got up and left.
Caprice opened the lunch box and enjoyed her wonderful lunch.
After she was full, she stretched lazily on the couch. Liam was not back yet, and she was all alone in the quiet office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe got sleepy after a while and plopped herself on the couch. She closed her eyes to catch up on some rest. A
wave of drowsiness hit her in no time, and she drifted off to sleep shortly after.
It was evening by the time she woke up.
The afterglow of the setting sun refracted through the French windows and engulfed the bedroom, furnishing the
office with a gentle ambiance.
She touched the soft mattress underneath her and surveyed her unfamiliar surroundings. Before she could figure
out where she was, she heard a voice coming from outside the bedroom.
"Are you not going to the dinner party this weekend?" It was Isabel's voice.
"No," Liam said firmly.
"If you're not going, then I’m not going too," Isabel stated.
Liam remarked indifferently, "Do what you want. Good luck persuading Dad though."
Isabel expressed irritably, "Stupid Flinty is not going, you're not going, so why should I go by myself?"
Liam said, "Mom and Dad will be there."
Isabel groaned, "I don't get along with them. You know that.
