I felt sad. “Not only did you forget about me the other day, you didn’t
remember what happened next either.” I muttered, “Whatever your intention
is, don’t bluff me with it.” After meeting him for the first time, I always found an
excuse to talk to the worker at L.M. Group Headquarters just to see Liam. I was
sure that I was an attractive person; a lot of their workers knew me; even the
security guard of the parking lot knew my name. But only he… only Liam… did
not remember me.
He would just nod and walk past me if I did not call him out when we ran to
each other. And I needed to remind him over and over again of who I was.
That was a bittersweet period for me, but I knew that liking someone secretly
was hard. And he did not harm me back then, so it was a pleasant memory
for me. I did not want him to cheat me with it.
After a while, Liam suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and said, “Stop
crying.” He sounded calmer than before. I looked up and said, “I didn’t cry.”
Indeed, I did not shed a tear. He smiled faintly and pinched my cheek. “Sit
properly.”

I sat in the chair, and he simply picked up a foundation and applied it to my
2/5
face casually. I know he can draw, but why is he so fluent in doing make–up
for me? Is he always doing it for Ms. Shaw? I stopped myself from thinking, as
I did not want him to laugh at me for crying. Soon, he was done; he put away
the tools and said, “Have a look.”
I looked in the mirror, and I looked great; my cheeks were red. The only
strange part was my lips, as I had not applied lipstick yet. I turned to look at
him and said, “It’s nice; thank you.” He pressed on my head and bent down to
take out the lip gloss from the dustbin, and he said, “Open your mouth.” I was
speechless, but I did it. He smirked and applied it to my lips, and he closed it
and put it back on the lipstick rack.
He then turned around and opened a closet. He took out a khaki dress and
asked me to change into it. I took it and replied, “Alright, please get out so I
can change now.” He ignored me, and he took off his belt. I hurriedly stood up.
He was standing by the door, and I did not dare to walk near him. I hid in the
corner of the closet and asked, “What are you trying to do?” He looked at me
with his eyebrow raised, and he threw his pants down and walked toward

me. I quickly hid behind a vase and glanced. Although we did, I did not dare

to stare at him. I hid behind the vase like a mouse, praying that it could keep
him away from me. When I was panicking, I heard some noise. I gathered my
courage and looked at him, and it turned out that he was opening the closet.
He took out a pair of jeans and put them on, then he simply looked at me and
asked, “What’s so interesting there?”
“N…Nothing.” I awkwardly came out and carefully walked around him, wanting
to get back to the bedroom. However, he stretched his arms toward me, and
when I came to my senses, I was already pinned against the closet door. I
held my breath while he pressed his forehead against mine. “Am I
good–looking?” He asked in a serious tone, I assumed. I looked at him and
lowered my head, and I answered, “Yes.” He continued to ask, “Which part of
me looks the best?” I obediently replied, “Your eyes…” His eyes were his best
features; they were full of light, and they looked great in any expression. I was
completely drawn to them.
He smirked and said, “I didn’t ask you to comment about my face.” He
pinched my chin and made me look at him, and he said, “Any part below my

neck.” Wh… What should I comment on? I hastily shook my head and pushed
his hand away, and I said, “I think it’s 2 already, you…”
“Don’t try to divert my attention.” He grabbed my hand. “Aren’t you good at
talking when you’re with others?” He put my hand on his body and asked, “Do
you think that I’m not as good as him?” Him? Who? I asked, “Who are you?”
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. “Sir,” Mrs. Sullivan said in the
intercom, “Ms. Shaw is downstairs; she mentioned that she has made an
appointment with you.” His facial expressions changed all of a sudden, and
he let go of my hand and hastily changed back into his suit. He strode toward
the door and opened it; suddenly, he turned back and grabbed my face and
kissed me on the lips. “Go clean your face.” And before I could answer, he
simply grabbed a tie and ran out. I froze on the spot for a while, and then I ran
into the kitchen. I pulled the curtain back and peered out of the window; there
was a vehicle parked on the snowy road. I could not see clearly. There was a
woman standing in front of the car, and she seemed elegant, but I could not
see exactly what she looked like.

I felt that she sensed I was staring, and she stared back.

Just when I was looking at her, I saw Liam happily walking toward her. They
chatted for a while, and she suddenly hugged him, and he hugged her back.
He then opened the door for her; she got it, and he was about to get in. But
he suddenly looked in my direction. I hurriedly closed the curtain and left the
kitchen. I washed my face, and I went back to the wardrobe and cut the khaki
dress into pieces. And I took the lip glass and put it under the running water. I
don’t care anymore; it’s alright if he doesn’t love me. I’m me… the only me on
earth. It seemed like I could not go see my father; the internet was breaking,
and the movie was boring. I went back into the room to lay on the bed. I was
simply flipping through a book, and I was sleepy. Suddenly, the phone rang. I
did not pick up. In a short while, Mrs. Sullivan knocked on the door and said,
“Ms. Nyra, Sir was calling you.” I did not answer her, and she opened the door.
And I heard her say, “She was sleeping, yes.” She walked near me and
touched me lightly, and she said, “Ms. Nyra, wake up, please. Sir wants to talk
to you about something regarding your father.”
