After parting ways with Lillian, Rita didn’t choose to leave the hotel hurriedly but went to the roof top.
So much had happened overnight, so she got to find a place to clear her mind.
Not in her wildest dreams had Rita thought that the friendship that she valued the most in this lifetime would hurt her this much.
It really hurts so much.
She started trembling uncontrollably out of the sheer pain in her already broken heart.
Soft breezes blew through the roof top. There were tears dropping to the ground from the girl’s face.
In the meantime, Liam was standing behind her and stared at her lovingly with sorrow.
But he didn’t step forward and console her.
He just stood by her side, let her calm herself down and deal with the fact that some people in her life were destined to leave.
Twenty minutes later, the girl who was standing by the roof top finally moved.
Seeing that she had cleared her mind and was about to go downstairs, Liam’s icy eyes immediately brightened up.
Putting his jacket on her gently, Liam asked lowly, “Hospital or school? I’ll send you back.”
“We were both drugged last night and got carried away, so...” Rita then stopped mid-sentenced and looked at Liam. “Forget it.”
Eyes met, they both said nothing.
Recollecting her thoughts, Rita went downstairs wearily.
She left Liam behind, so she didn’t see how depressed he was when she left.
Because of Lillian’s trick, their already estranged relationship just took a worse turn. Rita was even more indifferent to Liam to the point that she would avoid meeting him.
Though she said that they should forget about what had happened, both of them cared about it in effect.
She was actually more afraid that this accident would give Liam unrealistic illusion, so she chose to nip this thought in the bud directly.
Smart as Liam must have figured out her meaning.
The two didn’t see each other for a while and soon it was time for Rita to go on that business trip to Country C.
A black and luxurious Porsche pulled up at the Browns early in the morning.
Liam then got off the car gracefully.
The shadow of Liam’s tall and muscular figure covered Rita who was holding a suitcase.
Glancing at the surprised Rita with his dark eyes, he finally landed his sight on Zoe who was next to Rita.
“Mother.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Zoe answered hurriedly and let out a confused smile, “Liam, are you... are you driving Rita to the airport?”
“No.” Liam smiled.
Hearing his words, Rita took a sigh of relief secretly.
She didn’t really care what he was doing here as along as he wasn’t here to meet her.
Zoe then got more bewildered.
“Then you are...”
“I’ll go with her.” While speaking, Liam stooped and took the suitcase from Rita.
Rita was obviously taken aback.
‘Did Liam have to go with them?”
But she remembered that Liam was not in the list of business trip this time.
For she was afraid to get along with Liam, she specifically inquired the colleague of human resource department after she got back from the hotel and confirmed that Jacob was the main in-charge of the team.
“What are you waiting for? Get on the car!” Rita’s back was suddenly nudged by Zoe’s elbow while she was still wondering.
She then lost balance and plunged right into Liam’s arms.
Rita’s face turned all rosy because of the body touch. She hurriedly balanced herself and tried to break herself away from Liam, but Liam’s big hands just naturally grabbed her back.
“Let go of me.” Glancing at the long fingers wrapping her waist, Rita said coldly.
Noting that Rita was in a bad mood, Zoe was greatly concerned inside.
Because she didn’t know what exactly happened, she just assumed that Rita had betrayed Liam and fell in love with someone else.
Though she doted on her daughter, she wouldn’t spoil her on everything.
As a parent, she got to make sure that Rita wouldn’t take the wrong path on this sort of things.
While thinking this inside, Zoe rolled her eyes at Rita to warn her to stop moving.
Then she looked at Liam and smiled, “Liam, I feel more assured knowing that you will go with Rita now.”
“Don’t worry, mom. I will take good care of Rita.” Liam then looked at Rita affectionately.
Zoe can obviously tell from her experience that Liam was really in love with Rita.
The sincerer Liam was, the worse Zoe felt inside.
Zoe then glanced at Rita apprehensively and came up with an excuse to distract Liam, “Oaky, Liam, why don’t you load Rita’s suitcase onto the car first?”
Liam naturally figured out that Zoe wanted say something to Rita in private.
