Chapter 175 I Need to Take Days off to Accompany My Girlfriend

Five minutes later, the door of president’s office was pushed open.

Hearing that someone come in, Liam who was lowering his head frowned.

He didn’t even raise his head and just said coldly, “Get out!”

But the person who came in just paused a bit and continued walking towards him.

Liam knitted his eyebrows more and got furious, “I said, get out!”

That person then just stopped.

But when Liam saw clearly who was holding the coffee, he froze.

“Ri... Rita?”

“I’m sorry for interrupting your work... I’ll wait outside.” Putting the coffee down, Rita said apologetically. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Seeing that she turned around and was about to leave, Liam paused a bit.

Looking at her clean face, he then said lightly, “I’m not busy.”

“Why are you so angry then? Who pissed you off?” Rita pretended that she didn’t know anything and just asked.

Liam actually found it hard to come up with an excuse.

But at this critical moment, Jacob walked in.

Seeing that Jacob was here, Liam explained coldly, “I thought you were Jacob, so I didn’t control my temper.” Then he landed his eyes on Jacob.

Jacob paused in bewilderment, “What?”

“What are you doing here? Have you finished revising the proposal? Just fuck off if you haven’t completed it. Don’t bug me!”

Liam shot cold glances at Jacob who cannot even figure out what was going on.

Jacob who was treated as a scapegoat twitched the corner of his mouth. ‘Liam, don’t you feel bad for what you have done to me? How can you do this to me... But clearly you are totally okay with this.”

Meeting Jacob’s accusatory eyes, Liam said calmly, “Well, should I see you out myself? What are you still doing here?”

Jacob forced back all of his inner complaints because of Liam’s staring.

‘Liam, don’t you think that you are discriminating here? How come that I’m treated differently? It is Rita who would make you angry every time, but I would always get the blame. I really feel like crying...”

Jacob winked his eyes gloomily and went outside.

The door was then reclosed, leaving Liam and Rita alone in the office.

Liam looked at Rita with eyes brightened up, “What are you doing here?”

“Well, I don’t have lessons today, so I figured that I would drop by.” Rita just threw an excuse randomly and approached Liam.

This was the first time for her to take the initiative since they restarted their love relation.

She would usually just sit on the sofa to wait for him to finish work, but today she walked pass the table and sat on Liam’s lap.

Embracing Rita in his arms, Liam instantly got pleased.

Looking at the girl who was staring at him, Liam got confused, “What is it?”

“Here.” Rita handed a key to Liam.

Glancing at the golden key, Liam paused a second, “What... what is this?”

“A spare key to my apartment. You can visit me when you are not busy.” Rita licked her lips and explained lowly.

Hearing her words, Liam’s heart fluttered a bit.

Taking the key over, Liam stared at Rita’s clear eyes and smiled. “I can visit you when I’m not busy?”

“Yes.”

Seeing that Rita nodded, Liam let out a crooked smile.

Right...

He instantly decided that he will take a few days off from tomorrow.

Liam was always resolute and vigorous, so he immediately grabbed the phone out and texted his secretary to cancel the following three days’ business arrangement.

He also said that Jacob would be responsible for everything while he was not around.

Then he tilted his head and stared at Rita, “Let’s go.”

“What? Where are we going?” Rita was pretty confused.

Liam raised his eyebrows, “Well, you don’t have to go to school and I’m not busy. Why don’t you show me your little apartment?”

“Well...”

Well, the truth was that she had classes.

She was just using that as an excuse and didn’t really expect that Liam would...

Well, just like the old saying goes, what’s done cannot be undone. She can’t really take back her words now.

Since Liam wanted to go there, she can just show him around to avoid unnecessary troubles later.

Thinking about this, Rita got up and went out with Liam.

But then Jacob hurriedly walked in and asked, “Liam.”

“Yes?”

“The secretary said that you canceled the next three days’ schedule and I would deal with the company stuff. What happened?” Jacob asked worryingly.

Fingers interlocked and hands clasped with Rita, Liam replied lightly, “Nothing happened. I just want to take some days off and spend time with my girlfriend.”

Rita’s heart skipped a beat.

Jacob was taken aback and just cursed inside.

Well, he shouldn’t have come and asked!

‘Can you two please take it somewhere else please!’

Rita then suddenly figured out that Liam specifically canceled his business trips so that he can go to her apartment with her.

He can do so today, then in the future…

Rita suddenly realized why Liam asked again “I can visit you when I am not busy?”.She had a feeling that she set herself up. Was it timely if she regretted to say Yes.

Liam gave a glance at Rita who was thinking fast, and penetrated her mind.

Regretful?

It’s too late!

Liam then wrapped Rita’s shoulders and walked out, “Rita, let’s go.”

Rita can really do nothing at this point, so she just followed Liam and left.

Because there was nothing in that apartment currently, the two went to the supermarket first to buy some groceries.

“Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, slippers and...” Rita checked the cart items with the grocery list carefully, making sure she got everything she wanted.

Though this apartment was just a temporary shelter, it got to have every essential items.

“We haven’t bought napkins yet. Let’s go find it.” After checking the list, Rita tilted her head and said to Liam.

Liam nodded and followed her to the napkin aisle.

While they were about to turn the corner, someone suddenly bumped into Rita.

Rita stepped back hurriedly and was about to hit the rack, but Liam quickly grabbed her into his arms to prevent her from falling.

But Liam still sized her up and down carefully, “Are you hurt?”

“I’m okay.”

Rita shook her head and looked at the black figure that knocked her.

When she saw the gorgeous while slightly panicking face on the ground, Rita was a bit surprised, “Lillian?”

Hearing Rita’s voice, Lillian suddenly looked up.

Eyes met, a trace of complexity fled past Lillian’s eyes.

While she was about to greet Rita, she suddenly heard an angry voice afar, “That woman headed for this direction! Split up and find her!”

Lillian’s face immediately turned pale.

Giving up to greeting to Rita, Lillian lowered head and rushed to the south exit of the supermarket.
