Chapter 39 The Tweet


    Liam went stupefied when he heard that.


    He was not one of those ignorant guys who did not know that women had periods. For some reason,


    the thought of it just did not ur to him just now.


    It was hard for Liam to describe his feeling at the moment—it was a mixture of awkwardness,


    confusion, and joy of knowing something private to Amber.


    Thinking that things couldn’t get any worse after she told Liam the truth, Amber appeared considerably


    calmer. She scowled at him and snapped, “Let me go now!”


    Liam, who was jolted back to his senses by her angry stare, realized he still had her in his arms.


    With his face burning with embarrassment, he quickly put her down on the bed and tucked her in. Just


    as he was about to leave, he found Amber staring at him with a sly smile.


    “What’s wrong?” Liam felt uneasy under her stare. He stopped himself from touching his face just in


    time when he remembered his hands were still covered with blood.


    Amber, who decided to pull his leg, beckoned him over. “Come over here. There’s something I want to


    tell you.”


    Liam, who was used to givemands to people who work for him, was not used to it when things


    happened the other way round. He approached Amber hesitatingly and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    Smiling craftily, Amber stared at him and drawled, “Liam, your face was so red just now!”


    Liam dashed out of her room in a sh to avoid the embarrassment.


    Amber guffawed in delight while watching his back. Making fun of Liam killed two birds with one stone


    —it alleviated the pain in her belly and gave her a goodugh when she saw the funny look on Liam’s


    face.


    She wondered whether the tabloids would believe it if she told them that Liam, the president of the


    Watson Group, would blush when someone talked about periods in his presence!


    Feeling ted because of her sessful prank on Liam, Amber fumbled in the drawer in search of the


    sanitary pads.


    To her horror, the drawer was empty. She thought she still had some stashed inside it, but apparently,


    she was wrong.

    How was she supposed to go out and buy some in her current condition?


    She ran her fingers through her hair in frustration.


    Usually, the flow was heavier on the first day of her period. She dreaded to imagine how her bed and


    her trousers would look like if she could not get her hands on some pads as soon as possible.


    She took stock of her situation and decided there was only one way to save her out of the debacle.


    Liam was restlessly reading his emails in the study room when he received a text.


    His pulse raced faster when he saw it was from Amber. Without hesitation, he read her message.


    “Could you please do me a favor and buy me some pads at the convenience store downstairs?”


    When Liam stepped foot in the convenience store, he felt like a hero who was going to save the world.


    It had been his first time buying sanitary pads for a woman in his life.


    Thest time he swung by a convenience store was ten years ago when he was still a student. After he


    graduated from university, he no longer had to worry about his daily necessities because his


    housekeepers would take care of them for him. Therefore, he had no idea how sanitary pads looked


    like at all.


    Pacing back and forth in front of the shelf filled with wet wipes, tissues, and cotton pads from various


    brands, Liam was in a spin.


    “Excuse me, could you please fetch me a packet of pads?” Liam, who was at his wit’s end, had no


    choice but to turn to the shop assistant for help.


    “Pads?” The shop assistant swooned over his good looks while asking curiously, “Do you need sanitary


    pads or cotton pads?”


    “I need those for girls when they’re having a period,” Liam answered with his voice strained with


    embarrassment, which was rare because he was usually good at keeping hisposure.


    “I see. It’s sanitary pads that you’re looking for.” Staring at Liam’s handsome face, the shop assistant


    was envious of his girlfriend.


    “I can’t believe a hottie like him is also a sweet guy who buys sanitary pads for his girlfriend. I’m sure


    his girl must be a rich and gorgeous one. s, a girl like me is never going to get such a good catch


    like him!” she thought.


    While Liam was paying for the pads at the cashier, the shop assistant secretly snapped a photo of him.


    She went on to type a caption for the picture: “Look at that major babe who visits the store to buy


    sanitary pads for his girlfriend! He looks so adorably awkward!”


    She clicked on a button and tweeted it.
