Chapter 253
Jam was having a meeting in the conference room while Cynthia continued to rest in the lounge. At noon, Liam finally finished his work and ame to the lounge. Seeing Cynthia still sleeping, he sat down beside the bed and gently pinched the soft flesh on her cheek, saying dotingly, “Get p. lazy girl.”
Cynthia opened her eyes groggily. After seeing Liam clearly, she stretched herself and then hugged the man’s arm. leaning her cheek against it and numbling, “What time is it now!”
he never had the habit of going back to sleep after waking up in the morning but felt especially tired today. Her passionate time with Liam wasn’t ong, but she felt like she couldn’t keep up her physical strength with his
It’s already noon. You wanna sleep more! I’ll ask someone to bring the food here; Liam uttered softly.
No, thanks. I want to go out and move around after sleeping for so long Cynthia sat up lazily and felt her toes sore.
Liam went to the wardrobe and got her a spare set of clothes. “Change into these. Your previous ones are unwearable.”
You even prepared clothes for me?” Cynthia raised her eyebrows and put on the clothes, which was the casual style that she liked.
Showing a gentle smile, Liam whispered, “Tve prepared it on your first day here?
Then, they left the room hand in hand and chose the same private restaurant as before to cat again. The owner also knew them and led them directly to the innermost private room. He handed them the menu and said, “We have introduced some new dishes, you can try them.”“
Liam put the menu aside and looked at Cynthia calmly, “Go ahead and order
Cynthia immediately pointed to a few new dishes on the menu. That’s all for it.
When she returned the menu, she remembered the last time Liam was allergic to cilantro and specifically informed the owner, “Please don’t put cilantro in all dishes.”
“Sure thing,” the owner said before leaving with the menu, leaving only the two in the room. Feeling his heart soften, Liam looked at Cynthia deeply with a gentle smile.
After the meal, he needed to go back to the company. Cynthia didn’t want to follow along since she had nothing to do there and could only stay in the lounge and sleep. However, she was no match for Liam’s persuasion and followed him back in the end
As they drove out of the underground parking lot, Cynthia caught a glimpse of a group of people on the road, who happened to also be leaving the restaurant. She suddenly couldn’t help laughing Liam asked confusingly, “What’s so funny?”
Cynthia raised her chin and pointed in the direction of those people. “Look, our old acquaintances
Liam looked over and saw Roseanne, Felicia, and other men and women. He hated the two so much that his expression immediately darkened. Looking at his face, Cynthia knew Liam didn’t understand why she laughed just now, Hence, while pointing at a man, she explained to him kindly, “For the sake of his company, Mason previously gave Roseanne to Daniel, that short and fat man right there. Daniel’s wife is Mia Taylor, James younger sister. Now that Felicia and James are together, Roseanne will be James stepdaughter, so Roseanne and Daniel’s relationship becomes quite awkward.”
“Don’t you think this family will feel disgusted when they’re together” Cynthia gossiped non–stop. Liam wasn’t interested in such things but didn’t interrupt her and just listened quietly.
Soon, they arrived at the company. Cynthia had slept all morning, so she was in good spirits at the moment. After returning to the office, she read book on the couch. Liam, on the other hand, was working at his desk, occasionally looking up at Cynthia Both were busy with their tasks, showing a blissfulness that could bring inner peace.
When it was time to get off work, Liam received a call from Vincent, which the other asked, “Wanna come to our usual spot tonight?”
Liam raised his eyebrows and met Cynthia’s gaze when he looked up. He thought, ‘Cynthia has stayed in the office with me for the whole afternoon today. She can go relax at nigu.
Hence, he told Vincent. “I’ll come after work.”
After ending the call, Liam told Cynthia about his
nis conversation just now and said, “I just thought you were too bored. If you don’t want to go tonight, we can go home.
Cynthia indeed felt bored, so she thought it would be nice to have some fun at night and nodded immediately. “I don’t mind having some fun, but do you have the time?”
“It’s fine. I’ve dealt with almost all the accumulated work. Besides, I couldn’t possibly work the whole time. You can read a lile longer, we’ll go there together after work. With that, Liam looked down to busy himself with the documents.

After work, they drove off and arrived at the most exclusive club in the city half an hour later. It was not yet dark, so only a few people gathered at the club entrance. Liam handed the car key to the parking attendant and took Cynthia inside the club, taking the elevator to the VIP area on the top floor of the club. For those who could reach that floor, money could no longer measure their status
Liam guided Cynthia to a private room, and Vincent, Queena, and Cameron were already there. Once Queena saw Cynthia, she enthusiastically pulled her aside to whisper, whereas the rest of the men sat together and chatted.
“Why isn’t Jonathan here?” Liam had been busy these days, so he didn’t know how Jonathan was now.
Vincent and Cameron exchanged glances and showed a helplessness on their faces. Vincent said, “He hasn’t recovered from Mr. Thomas Frost’s
death:
“But it’s understandable. Jonathan grew up with him, and now that he’s dead from the stress because of Jonathan’s issue, it has left guilt in Jonathan, even though it wasn’t his fault. So during these days, we often ask him out to hang out, also hoping to help him get over it soon,” added Cameron.
After the three chatted for half an hour, Jonathan finally arrived in a black suit, his expression looking indifferent. Cynthia was somewhat surprised when she looked up, as Jonathan looked completely different from the impression she had of him. Except for the same face, everything else about him had changed, and he looked terribly gloomy.
Jonathan nodded to the two girls near the entrance and sat before the men. Seeing that everyone was here, the men didn’t want to sing, so Vincent suggested playing cards. While playing, Jonathan could relax briefly by focusing his mind completely on the cards.
Queena, addicted to playing cards, immediately left Cynthia and grabbed a seat. “I wanna play.”
“Move away.” Vincent frowned. He grabbed Queena’s collar and threw her aside. “Stop burting in when men are playing cards. Querna pouted, not wanting to give up, as she came here shamelessly today just to satisfy her craving for card games.
