Liam's gaze was so intense that Sharon was taken aback and then she chuckled. "I'm not that weak. I won't cry for such a small matter."
After a pause, she said, "Mr. Frazier, you can go ahead with your business. My father is all right now, so I want to stay back and look after him. Thank you for being here with me."
Liam smiled and said, "Are you going to ditch me just like that after what I did for you?"
Sharon hurriedly explained, "No! I'm just afraid that you're too busy and I don't want to hold you back, or I'll feel very sorry..."
"Alright, I'm just teasing you. You don't have to be so anxious." he said with a smile.
Sharon smiled awkwardly and said, "I mean it. You must be very busy, having to manage such a big company. I don't want to take up your time. Thank you very much. I'm going to see my father now. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Liam glanced at Sharon's back as she walked away with his deep eyes and did not retract his gaze after a long time.
"This girl doesn't seem to have much interest in your extremely pretty appearance. Are you sure you can make her fall in love with you?"
A voice came from beside him all of a sudden.
Liam glanced at the man faintly and said, "Harvey, you haven't left yet?"
They came to the hospital together. When Liam saw Sharon coming out of the elevator, he sent Harvey away. He assumed that Harvey had long gone, but he was still here.
"Hey, look at you, so cold and distant. As a friend, I can't even care about you?" Harvey stroked his chin and laughed with a hint of obscenity. "After being in contact for such a long time, how is your progress? Have you slept with her? How is it? Is she hot in bed?"
"Harvey Wells!"
Liam's sharp eyes swept over. "Watch your tongue!"
Harvey was surprised. "Why, I can't even talk about her?"
Liam sneered. "Yes, you have no place to talk about her!"
Harvey raised his thick eyebrows and squinted his eyes at Liam and said, "Seriously? Are you really in love with her? Why are you protecting her like this?"
After a sneer, Liam had no expression on his face as he said, "She is nothing but a pawn; that I know very clearly!"
"Good to know. As your business partner, I sincerely remind you not to be too serious in your act, and be careful not to get trapped in it."
"Ha."
Liam chuckled. "I don't need your reminder."
At 10 pm.
At the "gentleman" club.
The girl beside Stanley was young and lovely. Her glance was somewhat similar to Sharon as she eyed him carefully, but she sat beside him timidly and did not dare to move, perhaps due to the intimidation she felt from his cold aura.
He looked at her and asked, "How old are you?"
She didn't expect such a big shot would suddenly talk to her that she stammered, "T-Twenty."
"You didn't go to school?"
"I do, but it's summer break now. I'm working part-time."
"How did you think of working a part-time job?"
"I come from a poor family, so I want to make use of the summer break to earn some money."
Stanley nodded. "Why do you have to work part-time here?"
The young girl blushed and fidgeted her fingers anxiously. "T-The pay is very high here, and some bosses are very generous in giving tips, so..."
All of a sudden, Hazel's words flashed across his mind. She said that Sharon always paid her own tuition fees and she seldom asked for an allowance from Hazel. She was now at a youthful age that needed money for everything. As a college student, where did she work to earn her tuition fees?
He frowned when he thought that she might have come to work in this kind of place before, and maybe she had been teased by some lecherous men.
