Chapter 204

Vivian Bennett pleaded softly, "Mr. Sullivan, please put me down. I promise I won't..."

Before she could finish, Ryan Johnson appeared at the end of the hallway.

His hurried steps faltered abruptly when he saw Vivian in Liam Sullivan's arms.

A flicker of discomfort crossed Ryan's face before he quickly averted his gaze. "The car is ready, Mr. Sullivan."

Liam gave a slight nod and continued walking forward with Vivian in his arms.

Ryan hurried ahead to open the passenger door.

Liam gently placed Vivian inside before circling around to the driver's seat and starting the engine.

The car slowly pulled away from the company.

Vivian's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She wished she could disappear into the ground.

Ryan had witnessed everything.

No amount of explaining could clear this up now.

She glared angrily at the man beside her. "Liam Sullivan, must you always humiliate me like this?"

Liam kept his eyes on the road, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Ryan knows his place."

Vivian's heart skipped a beat.

He had seen right through her concerns.

Even if Ryan remained tight-lipped, she didn't want to be entangled with Liam any longer.

What would people think of her getting into the CEO's car like this?

Vivian began pounding on the window. "Stop the car! Let me out!"

The doors were already locked.

No matter how much she struggled, Liam showed no intention of slowing down.

Soon, the car entered a quiet villa district.

Liam got out smoothly and pulled her from the passenger seat.

"I'm not going in!" Vivian clung desperately to the car door.

Liam's patience finally wore thin.

He threw her over his shoulder and strode into the villa.

Vivian hung upside down, her stomach churning violently.

Liam entered the living room, closed the door behind him, and tossed her onto the sofa.

Vivian scrambled fearfully into the corner of the sofa.

What did he plan to do with her in this place?

She lashed out like a frightened wildcat, scratching and clawing at him. "Liam Sullivan, you bastard! How dare you bully me like this!"

A glint of amusement flashed in Liam's eyes as he watched her furious display.

He easily restrained her flailing hands, his voice low. "No one else dares to act so wild with me except you."

Tears of frustration welled in Vivian's eyes. "I wouldn't be like this if you weren't forcing me!"

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow. "Then I'd like to hear how exactly I'm forcing you?"

Vivian was about to list his offenses when he spoke again, his tone deliberate. "Was it also me who forced you to block my number?"
