Chapter 227

Liam Sullivan's deep eyes locked onto her.

A slow smile curved his lips. "Do you think I have time to satisfy you every night?"

Vivian Bennett's cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

She glared at him with embarrassment and annoyance.

Liam chuckled softly. "Even if you wanted it, I couldn't satisfy you every single night."

"You!"

Vivian was too furious to speak.

That wasn't what she meant at all.

Liam suddenly moved closer. "You don't actually dislike me, do you?"

Vivian bit her lower lip, offering no denial.

He seized the opportunity to grasp her hand firmly. "Try to accept me."

Vivian took a deep breath and met his intense gaze.

"We're from different worlds."

"How do you know we're not compatible before even trying?" Liam's eyes burned with intensity.

Vivian's expression turned serious. "If you were just an ordinary man, I might consider it. But you're the lofty CEO, and I'm just an ordinary woman. We're completely mismatched."

She mercilessly laid bare the harsh reality.

Even though she hated facing it herself.

Liam's eyes darkened.

He hadn't expected her to be so clear-headed.

He raised her hand and gently kissed it. "Don't you trust me?"

For the first time, his status had become an obstacle in pursuing her.

Vivian tried to pull her hand back.

But he held it firmly.

"Dare to give me your heart? I will never let you down." He made a solemn promise.

"I dare not." Vivian's response was absolute.

Was he joking?

Give him her heart?

She wasn't a fool.

Seeing her evasive eyes, Liam sighed softly.

Forcing things was clearly useless.

"Time will prove everything."

He gazed at her intently. "When the time comes, I'll make you willingly give me both your heart and body."

Absolutely impossible.

Vivian thought to herself.

How could she fall into his trap?

"Now, eat properly."

Liam placed the fork and knife back in her hand, his gaze brooking no argument.

Vivian hesitated. "I want to eat down there..."

How could she eat sitting on his lap?

"Finish your meal and I'll let you down. Otherwise, you'll stay right here." He delivered the threat leisurely.

Vivian gritted her teeth in frustration.

But she was powerless against him.

This man had just said he would make her willing?

It seemed utterly impossible.

But Liam was, after all, her superior.

Vivian had no choice but to resign herself and continue eating.
