We Got Love, The Crazy Kind novel Chapter 36

Liam was invited by Ethan to host the award ceremony at the annual general meeting of the Adams Corporation. He was heading toward the venue after alighting from the MPV when his phone rang.

Liam did not hesitate to pick up the call knowing that it was from Amber. “What’s the matter?”

His icy tone belied his true feelings because he paused in his tracks to give Amber his full attention. Meanwhile, William Yates, the vice president of the Adams Corporation, was standing by the roadside to welcome Liam’s arrival. He waited patiently for Liam to finish the phone call.

“Well, I’ve forgotten my keys…” Amber was deterred from completing her sentence because of Liam’s icy tone. What was she to ask Liam to head back to the apartment just to open the door for her?

After a short beat, Liam answered flatly, “I’ll be there in half an hour. Why don’t you wait for me at Vincent’s first?”

Then, he hung up on her without waiting for her response.

Amber stared blankly at her phone, embarrassment slowly eating her up. The way Liam spoke to her just now was so cold that it sounded almost rude. He did not bother about manners anymore because his resentment toward her was way too overpowering.

Tears started welling up in her eyes. After some time, she made up her mind to pull herself together and not to be bothered by how Liam felt toward her. After all, their deal was about to end in six months.

Vincent’s was a niche café a short walk away from Liam’s apartment. The place was renovated in a sophisticated way. Top-notch service was offered there, and everything cost a bomb. It was not the type of place Amber frequented, and she did not have enough cash to afford a visit there at that moment either.

Therefore, she had no choice but to wait for Liam in the lobby instead. The warmth in her body was quickly sapped by the gusty wind blowing her way non-stop. Soon, her hands started shivering in coldness.

“Mr. Yates, I’m afraid I won’t be able to host the award ceremony due to some emergency. I’ll phone Mr. Adams later to inform him of my absence.” After ending the phone call with Amber, Liam walked up to William and took his outstretched hand.

William responded pleasantly, “Don’t worry about it, Mr. Croft.”
