Liam went stupefied when he heard that.
He was not one of those ignorant guys who did not know that women had periods. For some reason, the thought of it just did not occur to him just now.
It was hard for Liam to describe his feeling at the moment—it was a mixture of awkwardness, confusion, and joy of knowing something private to Amber.
Thinking that things couldn’t get any worse after she told Liam the truth, Amber appeared considerably calmer. She scowled at him and snapped, “Let me go now!”
Liam, who was jolted back to his senses by her angry stare, realized he still had her in his arms.
With his face burning with embarrassment, he quickly put her down on the bed and tucked her in. Just as he was about to leave, he found Amber staring at him with a sly smile.
“What’s wrong?” Liam felt uneasy under her stare. He stopped himself from touching his face just in time when he remembered his hands were still covered with blood.
Amber, who decided to pull his leg, beckoned him over. “Come over here. There’s something I want to tell you.”
Liam, who was used to give commands to people who work for him, was not used to it when things happened the other way round. He approached Amber hesitatingly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Smiling craftily, Amber stared at him and drawled, “Liam, your face was so red just now!”
Liam dashed out of her room in a flash to avoid the embarrassment.
Amber guffawed in delight while watching his back. Making fun of Liam killed two birds with one stone—it alleviated the pain in her belly and gave her a good laugh when she saw the funny look on Liam’s face.
She wondered whether the tabloids would believe it if she told them that Liam, the president of the Watson Group, would blush when someone talked about periods in his presence!
Feeling elated because of her successful prank on Liam, Amber fumbled in the drawer in search of the sanitary pads.
To her horror, the drawer was empty. She thought she still had some stashed inside it, but apparently, she was wrong.
How was she supposed to go out and buy some in her current condition?
