Chapter 12 She Hates His Superiority


    Amber didn’t get much sleep that night. The following day, after eating breakfast and seeing Pearl onto


    her school bus, she hailed a cab to Liam''s office.


    This time it went smoothly—no one stopped her. Instead, everyone looked at her with curiosity and


    vague contempt. However, they dared not offend her but instead, watched her make her way to the


    chairman''s office.


    The chairman’s assistant had already been informed by the receptionist of Amber‘s arrival. When he


    saw Amber walking towards Liam''s office, he didn''t stop her but smiled and informed her, "Miss Amber,


    the chairman is in a meeting. You can wait for him in the office first."


    Amber walked into Liam''s office, took a seat on the sofa, and waited. Her eyelids subconsciously grew


    heavier as time passed.


    She did not sleep wellst night and had taken the bus early in the morning to travel from the South


    Town to the North Town. She was drained, and it didn’t help that the sofa was sofortable and soft


    to touch. Her sleepiness came in waves.


    In the end, she decided to take a short nap since Liam would not be finishing anytime soon anyway.


    That was thest thought in Amber''s head before she fell into a slumber.


    When Liam walked into the office, he saw Amber curled up at a corner of therge, soft sofa like a calm


    but shy cat.


    Amber was wearing a light-grey sweater, and because of the position in which she was curled up, her


    cor was slightly opened, revealing a small part of her silky skin. Her long hair caressed her cheeks,


    showing off her elegant jawline. Her light pink lips were slightly curved, looking like they were waiting


    for a kiss.


    Liam stared at Amber for a few seconds. Unconsciously, he leaned down to...


    All of a sudden, Amber opened her eyes when she felt Liam''s breath on her face. Liam gasped slightly


    and calmly took a step backward, pretending as if nothing had happened, and said, "It seems like my


    sofa is prettyfortable."


    Amber immediately sat up straight. She bit her lips in frustration. How did she end up falling asleep in


    Liam''s office? It was so embarrassing!


    "Where''s my phone?" Because she felt insecure, Amber put on an act and spoke in an extraordinarily


    cold voice.


    Liam threw a nce at her and strode over to his desk. He pulled open the drawer and handed her a


    cell phone, "Here it is."


    Amber was dumbfounded when she saw the phone. It was an iPhone 5s!


    This wasn’t her phone! She stared at the phone in Liam''s hand for a moment but did not take it.


    Instead, she slowly raised her head and looked at him curiously, "Liam Croft, this is not my phone. I


    want my phone!"


    Liam raised his eyebrows. "I identally broke your cell phone yesterday. So, I bought you a new one


    aspensation."


    “My cell phone is broken? Could my Nokia really break that easily?” Amber scoffed softly as she


    thought. Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes as she said, "Mr. Croft, I don''t need your sympathy


    nor your pity. Please just return my old phone."


    Liam''s hand stopped mid-air as his gaze met Amber''s. He held that gaze for a while before he replied,


    "Okay then."


    His tone was dry and cold, like a withered branch during winter.


    Liam tossed the iPhone 5s into the trash can next to his desk, retrieved Amber''s worn-out phone from


    the drawer, and ced it at the edge of the desk.


    "Thank you! Goodbye!" Amber picked up her phone and headed out right away. If she had stayed for a


    few more minutes, she was afraid that she would burst into tears.


    The most despicable thing in the world was none other than the fact that despite one being unbothered


    by her poverty, some rich people still chose to shove their pity down that person''s throat.

    Who gave Liam the right to make this decision by himself? Just because she was poor and a nobody


    didn''t mean that he could act like a savior who would pull her out of her misery by giving her a new


    phone!


    It was true that she couldn''t afford an iPhone 5s! Her old Nokia was indeed worn out! However, thest


    thing she needed was his sympathy!


    Furthermore, Liam’s act of throwing the iPhone into the trash can had deeply hurt her ego at once.


    Liam''s superiorityplex was disyed to the fullest by that action alone!


    She hated his superiorityplex. Except for being poor, there was nothing wrong with her. What right


    did he have to look down on her!


    Standing in front of the mirror in the washroom, Amber fiercely wiped the tears off her face. One day,


    she woulde back as a strong and sessful person who couldpare with Liam. He would then


    see her capability!


    Poor Mr. Croft...


    The iPhone really didn’t mean anything to him. He had just casually gifted it to Amber. He never


    expected Amber''s reaction to be so agitated...


    A poor person’s ego was nothing to be yed with.


    Liam had just begun to have some feelings for Amber. The two of them had grown closer ever since.


    But after this incident, their rtionship was sure to be back to square one...What a tragedy.
