SWNOVELS Chapter 120
Chapter 120 Flirt
Judy observed that Liam was clearly interested in this project because his gaze was following Gwyneth around. In order to impress Liam, Judy cleared her throat and boasted, “I have notes on the report for what we need to prepare for the initial stage and matters to be
discussed.”
Judy provided a thorough report. Nevertheless, after every few sentences she spoke, she would turn to look at Liam. She was able to observe his facial expressions and demeanor by doing this. She started to fantasize when she saw Liam’s lips form a smile.
Liam had noticed the issues that Gwyneth had spotted earlier on. He pulled over a chair, sat down next to Gwyneth, and wiggled his
fingers at her.
Judy assumed that Liam appreciated her work when she saw this. She thought that she had done an excellent report which Liam found intriguing. And that was why he wanted to examine it closely.
Liam’s reaction was more exciting and passionate than any stimulant for her. Judy felt that her throat was slightly dry, but she continued to speak even more enthusiastically.
“There are color–coded areas in the file to make it more visible, each one represents a different task that needs to be completed for each block. We will set up a transitional ladder that would make it very natural from the initial groundwork until the open–ended process.”
As Judy delivered her speech, she became more and more excited and got carried away. She had no idea that their attention was
elsewhere.
Liam and Gwyneth used the desk and files as cover and flirted with each other. Liam suddenly leaned in closer, startling Gwyneth, and she felt a little uncomfortable about it. Then Liam pointed out the budgeting error she had just spotted.
Once again, Gwyneth acknowledged Liam’s professionalism.
She considered that there were little secrets to this project and did not stop him. She paid full attention to the in–depth analysis, but a few seconds later she felt a touch on the back of her hand.
At first, she thought she had brushed against the paper, but the sensation grew stronger. It was no longer a brush but a warm touch that lingered on her hand.
Bewildered, Gwyneth looked down and saw that Liam’s hand was resting on hers. She tilted her head and shot him a glare. The man acted as though nothing had happened. She moved her hand away, but he followed her. She tried to bear with it until her patience ran thin.
‘What is he doing? Is he trying to claim his reward? What does he take me for?”
Secretly gritting her teeth, Gwyneth held out her other hand and pretended to turn a page, then she did not hold back and aggressively pinched Liam’s hand.
That being said, she did not detest the warm touch and found it quite comfortable, but she disliked the fact that he did it without her permission. Was she supposed to accept this silently? It was this sly man’s wishful thinking!
Liam was shocked that Gwyneth would suddenly pinch him fiercely.
Initially, he was secretly pleased with the physical contact, which could be considered close contact at this point. He felt content, as though all of his body’s pores had opened up. After a brief period of bliss, he experienced severe pain. The feisty kitten had given him a
painful scratch.
His body jerked reflexively, and it hit the teacup he was holding in his other hand. The tea spilled all over him.
Judy was engrossed in her presentation, but she was startled by the sight. She asked worriedly. “Oh my god! Are you alright? That’s hot
tea! Are you hurt?”
Gwyneth raised an eyebrow in response to Judy’s worrying inquiries. She closed the file and placed it on the desk. She was about to say something, but Judy had gone to fetch some tissues from the coffee table.
When she came back, she immediately started wiping Liam’s clothes.
Liam was upset, and he knitted his brow. He disliked other women touching him, especially in front of Gwyneth. Judy ignored him. This was an amazing opportunity for her.
The hot tea had splashed all over Gwyneth too. She felt a tightness in her chest and shot a razor–sharp glare at Liam.
