Susan’s face turned pale as she stared blankly at Liam for a few seconds before letting out a wail and bursting into tears. Covering her face with her hands, she ran out the hall.
Everyone in the dining hall was shocked, but given Liam’s grim facial expression, nobody dared intercede on behalf of Susan. Nobody was brave enough even to breathe. The huge dining hall was suddenly as silent as a graveyard.
Amber, too, was stunned when she heard Liam telling Susan to scram.
"What in the world was going on? It couldn’t be that Liam had stood up for me, right?" Amber lowered her eyes as she wondered. Right beside her was Liam’s pressed trousers. Those straight, long legs of his emanated an air of arrogance. All of a sudden, bubbles of happiness formed in the depths of her heart.
Liam surveyed the shocked faces of his subordinates quietly before he opened his mouth to speak. “I am honored to introduce to everyone my fiancée—Amber Currie.”
Fiancée? Everyone was stunned into silence once again.
They were all familiar with gossip regarding Liam’s habit of appearing at hotels with different women, but this young girl in front of them who wore simple clothes and whose actions were unmatured was nothing like the women on the news! Those who appeared in the photos were flirtatious women who dressed scantily.
John the manager and Lily exchanged glances. Both of them wore grim expressions on their faces. They had a hunch that this was taking a bad turn.
John immediately tried to fend for himself as he explained, “Mr. Croft, I... I had no idea that Miss Currie is your fiancée. Lily was the one who arranged for the catwalk—I had no knowledge of this at all!”
Lilly glared at John as she gritted her teeth in frustration, but because her position was lower than his, she had no choice but to suppress her anger.
