Chapter 279 - 277: Overjoyed [2nd Update]
Seeing the guy compromise, Liam once again kissed her lips, while Maya lifted her small hand to gently hook his neck.
Maya’s response made Liam elated; he vaguely felt that she had begun to forget the unpleasant feelings about the engagement and had started to forget Grace’s existence.
He kissed her, recalling the smile on her lips, finally knowing how to make Maya happy.
Maya is different from other girls; expensive jewelry, handbags, and clothes can’t win her over. Although she usually seems quite shameless, actually, her inner stubbornness is greater than anyone’s, and sweet talk doesn’t affect her.
She seems unaffected, but she’s actually easy to appease. Just let her fuss, stroke her along the grain, and when she’s had enough fun, finds it meaningless, she won’t bother anymore.
Liam felt the strength with which her small hand gently hooked around his neck, slowly wrapping his arms around her waist, lifting her up as she stood on her tiptoes, still closing her eyes, enjoying his kiss.
When Maya was kissed to the point of being dazed, suddenly, soft music arose around them, causing her to open her eyes wide and stare up at Liam.
The man looked at her pink face, surprised eyes, and red lips, wrapping his arms around her small waist, pulling her closer to him, dancing with the music.
Maya originally wanted to refuse dancing and return to her office, but under the man’s deep gaze, her little hand couldn’t help but hook his neck.
Thus, in the office, the two embraced tightly, gazing at each other affectionately, Liam didn’t see any resentment in Maya’s eyes; her emotions were calm, her gaze gentle, and the corners of her eyes were smiling.
To his surprise, he didn’t expect that merely signing a contract could make Maya happy. If this could cheer her up, he wouldn’t mind more people seeking her help.
In this way, he would have the chance to fully display his poise, letting her see how much he dotes on her.
"Wow! High spirits, dancing right in the office." While the two were in a good mood, Christopher suddenly pushed the door open, feeling almost envious of the scene before him.
These two, yesterday were at odds, yet today they’re so cozy together. It seems their worries yesterday were unfounded.
Listening to Christopher’s voice, Maya immediately stopped dancing, turned her head, and asked him in surprise, "Why are you here again?"
"Why? Blame me for ruining your fun? Ruining your intimacy with third brother?" Christopher teased Maya with a mischievous smile while walking toward the sofa.
"You’re overly concerned. We have plenty of time for intimacy; this moment doesn’t matter." To mask her surprise at being interrupted, she pretended nonchalance shamelessly.
Beside her, Liam listened to her explanation, amused, raising his hands to cup her little face, giving her a quick kiss on her small mouth.
He loved the way Maya bantered with others, every word she spoke during a banter, he loved listening.
"What are you doing? Seeking conflict?" On the sofa, Christopher observed their affectionate interaction, displeased, as if they were intentionally provoking him.
"Humph!" Maya responded to Christopher’s questioning with a grimace, grabbed Jane Spencer’s contract, and ran off.
In the office, the two men watched her make a face and quickly escape; one was embarrassed, while the other smiled, watching her until she disappeared.
Christopher watched someone’s affectionate gaze, sighed deeply, raised his hands to scratch his hair, feeling: "When will my Seven come back? When can I also have couple moments to show off?"
Liam noticed Christopher’s distressed demeanor, spoke with a tone of an elder: "You have to coax women."
"The key is she has to be willing to listen!" Christopher was quite helpless in this matter.
Over the years, he did contact Seven, but she utterly ignored him; so what could he do? Hence, he sighed long once more.
Liam observed his helplessness, unhurriedly sat back inside his desk, changed the topic, and asked, "How is the acquisition going?"
Subsequently, the two began discussing work matters.
Meanwhile, in the Spencer Clan Group vice chairman’s office, Jane Spencer frowned and instructed the assistant: "Go and call Elia Spencer in."
The assistant, seeing Jane Spencer’s furious demeanor, was so scared that his legs went weak, uttered three ’okay’ consecutively, then hurriedly went to summon Elia.
In Elia’s office, after receiving the assistant’s call, she didn’t immediately go see Jane Spencer, instead, she chewed gum while playing games.
After finishing the game, she stretched lazily, slowly stood up from her chair, opened the office door, and went to find Jane Spencer.
When she pushed open Jane Spencer’s office door, Jane Spencer rushed towards her with a pile of documents.
Then, she heard Jane Spencer furiously scold: "Elia, are you here to work or just killing time? Out of 30 days in a month, you attended 12 days, arrived late 12 days, left early 12 days. Now look at your event planning proposal; did you graduate from elementary school? Full of typos, and you dare to submit it."
Listening to her elder sister’s rebuke, Elia felt wronged, responded somewhat impatiently: "Wasn’t I always like this before?"
"The past is the past, now is now; as a member of the Spencer Family, if you don’t work hard, how can we make others submit and strive hard for the company? From tomorrow onwards, you won’t need to come to work." Jane Spencer looked at the girl before her and felt irritated.
She had been bothered by Elia not just for a day or two; both Hannah and her, besides spending the Spencer Family’s money, hadn’t contributed anything. Don’t think she didn’t understand Hannah’s scheming, just waiting for the fight between her and Kinsley Spencer, then take advantage of it.
Since the last time when Maya returned home to dine, Elia had been flattering the old man in various ways. Don’t think just because she wasn’t living in the other estate, she could take her for a fool.
Hence, she seized the opportunity this time to drive Elia away to satisfy her vexation.
In front of the desk, Elia listened to her elder sister’s directive, instantly turned pale, thinking, her elder sister didn’t target her earlier or later, but just when Maya went to the Owen Clan, clearly this matter couldn’t be unrelated to Maya.
Moreover, she was aware that she had been close with Grandpa these days, so naturally, her elder sister was displeased, thus taking the chance to get rid of her, was understandable.
But she was unwilling; she was merely a vice chairman, how could she eject her from the Spencer Family’s company? She had her share in this company!
Hence, she rolled her eyes disdainfully and said, "Without Grandpa’s word, I won’t leave Spencer Clan Group."
Jane Spencer saw Elia leveraging Grandpa against her, felt even more uncomfortable, thus took a deep breath, calmly said, "According to the company’s attendance policy, if you’re absent for over three days a month, I now formally announce, you’re fired."
