Chapter 93 - Willing to Accept the Loss

Chapter 93: Chapter 91 Willing to Accept the Loss So, in front of Liam Spencer, she was particularly cautious, accommodating him in every way.

Liam looked at the girl’s obedient demeanor, and with a large hand that was cupping her chin, he pulled her closer and said, "Alright, but if you can’t explain it well or clearly, you’ll be punished."

"How will I be punished?" Maya Spencer tightly clutched the proposal, looking into the man’s eyes as she asked.

"For every mistake, a kiss. If you make ten mistakes, we’ll go to the lounge, and I’ll teach you how to write a proposal properly."

Listening to the man’s demands, Maya’s eyes suddenly widened. She thought, this time she was in for it, no escaping now. Nonetheless, she was still going to try to report the work to him, speaking slowly and pondering carefully, hoping it wouldn’t be too difficult, since she was somewhat involved in this proposal.

So, she lifted her right leg, preparing to leave his lap, but he caught her slim waist, pulling her back as he said, "You can start now."

Maya swallowed hard at the man’s domineering attitude, shifted back a little bit, and opened the proposal to start reporting the work to him.

Liam had already read the proposal; there was no need for her report. But he just wanted to tease her, to see her embarrassed look, to get close to her affectionately. Watching her nervous demeanor, he felt so at ease and relaxed. Undeniably, she was a flirtatious respite from his busy work.

Maya got stumped on the first section of the technical analysis, pausing there for a long time without understanding the technical parameters. So she made a random explanation, thinking her fabrication was convincing enough, but unexpectedly, Liam caught her out.

He said, "Maya, don’t think you can get away with it; you bet and lost."

Seeing him uncover her ruse, she pouted, closed her eyes, and obediently waited for his kiss.

Liam looked at the girl’s appearance and couldn’t help but chuckle, lifting his right hand to pinch her pouting lips, he lightly bit them before letting her go.

Then Maya continued with the report. When she finished that section, Liam said mischievously, "In this section, you didn’t explain four places clearly."

"Ah... how could I be so foolish!" Maya bounced anxiously on his lap upon hearing the errors he pointed out, causing Liam’s breath to hitch.

Maya saw his unwavering gaze on her and realized her excitement earlier. She quickly covered her small face with the document, pretending nothing happened.

"How am I supposed to kiss if your face is covered?" Liam asked.

Listening to his question, Maya let out a helpless sigh. She placed the document between them, lifted her little hands to hold his face, and kissed him four times on the lips.

Seeing her initiative, Liam was in high spirits, holding her head for another deep kiss.

As a result, after the whole proposal report, Maya’s lips were swollen from kissing.

She thought, what kind of karma brought such a man into her life?

She didn’t want this! Even though they kissed many times earlier, Maya’s rational mind remained clear, not yet swayed by him.

So she began to act spoiled, placing her little hands on his shoulders, shaking him as she said, "Third brother, let Maya go today! I’ve lost weight doing this proposal, next time I’ll be plumper and more fun to play with, okay?"

The girl’s coquettish act made Liam’s heart blossom, feeling ever more delighted.

He knew it was just a delaying tactic and knew she was escaping day by day, but seeing her act spoiled, he couldn’t bear to refuse, especially since she seemed genuinely tired.

So he said, "Next time is fine, but there’s a lunch meeting today, you’ll join."

"Mm-hmm! Okay! I promise to complete the task." Maya, seeing the man agreed to let her go, immediately perked up, saluting him in thanks.

She was ecstatic, making Liam’s mood improve too. He said, "At least let’s have a hug as compensation!"

Compared to sleeping, this request was so minor, thus Maya opened her arms and hugged Liam tightly, swaying with joy for being let off the hook, feeling like she just took a stroll near the gates of hell and King Yama sent her back.

"Alright, go play. Wait for me after work." Liam patted her as he spoke.

"Mm-hmm!" Maya nodded vigorously in agreement.

Since Maya’s birthday, this was the first time the two of them got along so well. Before the work report, Maya still had plenty of resentment and anger towards the man in front of her, but the man let her slide without making her sleep, making her mood instantly better, temporarily forgetting some of that hatred.

On the sofa, she picked a mystery novel from the bookshelf and started reading seriously.

At the desk, Liam handled his work while his gaze frequently wandered to Maya. He liked to see her serious reading look, see how her expressions change with the plot, making the current Maya more vivid and attention-grabbing than usual.

As Maya read the novel, she gradually became drowsy, forcing herself to stay awake for a while longer until she couldn’t stand it, eventually lying down on the sofa and falling asleep.

Not far away, the man looked at her fast asleep, shaking his head helplessly, thinking how she sleeps while doing homework, sleeps while reading, yet manages to ace exams — what exactly is in that little head of hers?

Listening to her calm breathing was like hearing a piece of music, he enjoyed this quiet moment dearly but couldn’t bear to let her continue sleeping on the sofa.

So, he got up and walked to the sofa, crouching in front of her, carefully observing her sleeping appearance.

Originally, everything was beautiful and tranquil, but seeing the drool at the corner of her mouth, he was utterly speechless, thinking, how old was she? Why does she always drool when sleeping?

Despite his expression showing great disdain for her, he still took out a handkerchief from his pocket to gently wipe away her drool.

As he wiped the drool, he complained, "So much drool!"

After wiping it clean, he gently picked her up from the sofa, carried her to the lounge, placed her on the bed, letting her sleep peacefully.

Watching her as she slept soundly, he supported his hands on either side of her shoulders, leaning down to plant a quick kiss on her lips; he was afraid of waking her, so he didn’t dare kiss too hard.

However, Maya slept until one in the afternoon, rubbing her eyes when she woke up and found herself in Liam’s lounge.

Suddenly, she panicked, hurriedly getting up from the bed, mumbling, "Oh no! Oh no! He’s going to go mad again."
