Maya watched Liam’s impatient expression, rolled her eyes at him playfully, and walked over slowly. She lifted her left leg, straddled his lap, placed her hands on his shoulders, and asked, "Did you bully Seven?"
Liam saw her looking ready to seek justice and leaned forward, biting her chin as he denied, "No, but where did you go this morning?"
Maya noticed his questioning gaze and quickly dodged it, stamring, "No...nowhere, just...wandering around."
Seeing her stumble over her words, Liam pinched her ear and said, "Maya, what are you hiding? Why are your ears so red?"
"I am not."
Despite her denial, Liam lifted his right hand and smacked a slap onto her soft backside, reproaching, "Maya, if you want to lie, first you need to get rid of your red ear problem."
Maya imdiately stood up after being hit, pouted, and rubbed her backside, complaining, "Liam, you’re bullying . You’ve definitely made my backside red."
"Then you should honestly confess."
"Alright, alright! I admit it. I went to my uncle’s to complain." She spoke with a rather righteous attitude.
"I knew you wouldn’t be honest." Liam pinched her nose, not blaming her much.
"Why did you bully Seven?"
"She wants to invest in her brand and help promote it. I told her to go find Christopher Scott."
"You’re making it difficult for her. I think Seven doesn’t want to deal with Christopher Scott."
"To gain sothing, you always lose sothing. She will find the balance." Liam’s attitude was quite indifferent.
Listening to his philosophical musings, Maya cupped his handso face and asked sweetly, "Liam, so when you got , what did you lose?"
In her eyes, Liam getting her seed to be all benefits with nothing lost, so she didn’t agree with his view.
However, Liam just glanced at her and abruptly said, "Face."
"Pfft..." As soon as Liam finished speaking, Maya burst into laughter.
This guy actually said that getting her ant losing his face. But thinking carefully, it seems true; Liam has beco more and more shaless compared to three years ago.
So, she rubbed his face tightly, saying, "Liam, why are you so cute?"
"Be good, don’t cause trouble, let work."
"..." Maya was speechless, thinking, wasn’t he the one who called over? And now he complains I’m interrupting his work, teasing ?
Alright! Alright! She decided not to affect his money-making and would go ho to play by herself, so she imdiately stood up, ready to leave his office.
But before she could lift her leg, Liam pressed her back down again, saying, "Let hold you obediently; only with you can I calm my heart to work."
"..." Maya was even more speechless, took a deep breath, nodded at him, saying, "OK, OK..."
So she sat back down, gently wrapped her arms around his neck, rested her chin on his shoulder, and browsed her phone, reading the news.
Liam held her as if it was nothing, reviewing docunts as if they were conjoined twins.
Maya saw a couple online playing gas together in the sa position and couldn’t help but laugh again. She then turned her head and gave Liam’s face a light peck.
Amusingly, holding Maya this way did calm Liam’s heart. But half an hour later, as this little one fell asleep on his shoulder, he carefully picked her up and placed her on the big bed in the rest room to sleep.
He knelt on one knee on the bed, looking at the girl’s sweet sleeping posture, smiled a happy smile, lightly kissed her face, and then closed the door to continue his work.
...
At this ti, in Christopher Scott’s office, he was already well aware of Seven Murray’s movents.
When he found out that Seven wanted to bypass him and go directly to Liam, he was furious, thinking that for Seven to make him sign this contract, it wasn’t going to be easy.
After much consideration, Seven ultimately decided to let go of her pride and stance to discuss collaboration matters with Christopher Scott.
At this mont, she had no way out. If she wanted to save face, her company would be finished.
So she stood at the door of Christopher Scott’s office.
At the door, Seven stood for a full five minutes but still lacked the courage to knock.
"Miss Murray, do you need to inform the president?"
"No need, thank you, I’ll go in myself." Only when Christopher Scott’s secretary asked for the third ti if she needed notification did she raise her right hand to knock on the door.
After her arm fell, Christopher’s familiar voice imdiately ca, saying, "Please co in."
Seven took a deep breath, placed her hand on the doorknob, and gathered the courage to push the door open.
In front of the desk, Christopher Scott saw Seven’s appearance, showing no surprise as if he had anticipated this.
When the door opened, he glanced at Seven and then continued to focus on his work.
Seeing this, Seven walked unhurriedly to his desk, pulled open a chair, and greeted calmly, "Good morning, President Scott."
She unknowingly that if she had called him Christopher, things would have gone much smoother.
Christopher Scott heard her address as President Scott and didn’t even look at her directly, not even raising his head, coldly asking, "What do you need?"
Christopher Scott’s cold attitude made Seven want to slam the table and leave, but she thought of the little partners at ho waiting for her good news, so she suppressed her anger and slowly placed the docunt in her hand on Christopher’s desk.
Smiling, she said, "President Scott, regarding the ToGigi brand, we would like Owen Clan Group and Scott Clan Group to help with investnt and promotion. Here is the collaboration plan. Please review it."
Actually, the platform owned by the Scott Clan Group was in collaboration with Liam, as Liam was the major shareholder; he simply didn’t manage so many affairs, so he entrusted everything to Christopher.
The strength of the Owen Clan Group also ca from Liam’s understanding that wealth is to be earned together, creating this band of brothers who have gone through life and death together.
Seven’s humble attitude did not earn Christopher Scott’s sympathy, and he still didn’t look at her, continuing with his work.
Seeing that he ignored her, Seven cautiously called once more, "President Scott."
"Just leave it there! I’ll look at it when I have ti." Christopher coldly responded.
"President Scott, ti is very precious to . Could you please spare a mont to check my cooperation plan? If there are any needed changes, I can imdiately go back and make andnts." Seven’s most pressing need was ti; it was currently the best mont for the 17-year product launch.
If Christopher delays her at this ti, she would have to wait another year, and whether she could withstand waiting for a year was still a big question mark.
Hearing Seven call him President Scott repeatedly irritated Christopher, causing him to slam the docunts in his hand down and ask, "Are these people’s ti not precious?"
