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

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

  1. 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.”
