We Got Love, The Crazy Kind

Chapter 28 The Bitter Emotions Hidden Inside



The manager was arranging for Amber to be seated beside Liam when one of the more superior directors from the subsidiary company brought an alluring young woman over.

"Mr. Croft, let me introduce you to Susan. I bumped into her earlier today." The director cast a suggestive glance towards Susan while introducing her to Liam.

Amber was at loss for words when she saw the woman. Wasn't she the actress who had just made it big recently? She looked incredibly stunning and gorgeous, especially with her seductive body shape exhibited perfectly by her black bodycon dress and her enticing eyes which were all the more defined by the sleek eyeliner.

She was even more beautiful in person. Amber could not avert her gaze from her.

The manager knew perfectly well what the director was trying to do, but he was in a comparatively lower position than the director, so he could only stay silent and contain his vexing emotions. He turned around to see Amber who had her gaze locked on Susan. He looked at her disdainfully and thought: What a useless girl! Mr. Croft must have just been playing around with her. Now that Susan is here, such a plain-looking girl will undoubtedly be instantly tossed aside!

Liam gave Susan a perfunctory nod and made a quick sideways glance at Amber. She was unconcerned with her surroundings and was busy studying the flower arrangement on the dining table.

Celebrities that had just made it to the big screen like Susan were fully aware of how an incomparable sugar daddy Liam would be, so she gave her best efforts to fawn over him with endless flattery and wine. Together with the directors, they held Liam as highly as they would an emperor.

Even though Amber spent most of her time on campus, she immediately understood the situation when the crowd started to suck up to Liam. She focused on eating and diverted her attention to the dishes on the table, unconcerned about her surroundings.

"Whatever, I'll just treat this as an unexpected scrumptious meal." As she convinced herself to think of it this way, she felt the inexplicable discomfort slowly fade away.

"Mr. Croft, you must take this drink, or else I'll be really mad!" With a flirtatious tone, Susan raised a glass of wine in honor of Liam. By that time, her whole body was practically flung on Liam.

The crowd started to cheer while the director, with his flushed chubby cheeks, chimed in to further elevate the mood and said, "How could you just shove Mr. Croft the drink like this, Susan? At least let him savor the wine through your mouth!"

Cheers sounded all around as everyone started to chant, "Do it! Do it!"

A ruckus was raised in the hall by the enthusiastic crowd.

Amber was starting to get a headache from all the commotion. She stole a quick glance at Liam and saw Susan clinging onto his shoulder as she tilted her head, gazing at Liam with the brightest smile on her face.

As if sensing her gaze, Liam turned and locked eyes with her. He looked slightly tipsy, but his eyes were as clear as ever.

She felt her heart skip a beat and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his gaze. Noise from the crowd's cheering and Susan's amorous talk flooded her ears.

She suddenly realized how ridiculous this was. What was she doing here? Why was she obligated to be seated here and witness these detestable acts just because of Liam's single word?

While the crowd was still cheering, she hurriedly stood up and made her way away from the scene. She did not belong here, she had nothing to do with all this lavishness!

She recalled that her belongings were kept by the waiters, but when she asked to retrieve them, the waiter responded politely and said, 'Mr. Croft has directed us to only let you leave the hall after the banquet is over."

Amber was dumbfounded by the waiter's reply! "Screw you, Liam Croft!" she cursed unhappily. He had guessed that she would want to leave the hall in the middle of the banquet! "Damn this cunning old fox!" So now, she couldn't leave-but she didn't want to return to the chaotic scene either. Frustrated, she stomped her way to the washroom. She planned to return after the crowd was done with whatever they were onto. What was that lunatic thinking-forcing her to stay!

He must have only wanted to make her feel ridiculed and awful!

Amber stared into the mirror in the washroom and observed her appearance. Her hair was neat and tidy, her skin as fair as ever, her eyes bright black, and her lips, a supple pink. No matter how one looked at her, she had the refreshing looks of a proper young lady! How did she stoop so low as to enter a bikini fashion show, accompany big shots in a banquet and witness a trade of sexual bribery!

Feelings of unjustness crept in as the bitter emotions slowly emanated from within her.

She stayed in the washroom for a while to calm herself down before heading back to the dining hall reluctantly once more.

They should be done with the drinking or whatever that was by now, right?

Just as she walked out of the washroom and was about to round the corner towards the hall, she saw Liam heading in her direction.

He had taken off his jacket to reveal a pale blue shirt with a navy-blue tie underneath. Along with a pair of black pants, his tall and sturdy figure was all the more elevated. A faint twinkle played in his eyes as he walked towards her.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
