Chapter 118

Vivian Bennett's heart suddenly raced.

She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Her promise to Zachary Hudson at the restaurant about visiting his office was completely forgotten.

The next day, she walked into the office with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

Colleagues cast surprised glances her way.

She lowered her head to avoid their gazes.

Around noon, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Liam Sullivan's name flashed on the screen.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she answered the call.

The man's deep voice came through the receiver. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Vivian's ears burned.

She gripped the phone tightly and whispered, "It was okay..."

Liam chuckled softly. "I didn't sleep well."

Vivian instinctively asked, "Why?"

His voice turned magnetic. "What do you think?"

Her heart skipped a beat.

Liam spoke directly. "I couldn't sleep because I was thinking of you."

Vivian's cheeks instantly flushed.

She flustered and interrupted. "We can't make personal calls during work hours."

The call was hastily ended.

Liam frowned at his phone.

He pressed the intercom. "Is there a company rule against taking calls during work hours?"

Ryan Johnson answered respectfully. "It's a rule you personally implemented years ago, sir."

Liam's expression darkened.

He issued a cold order. "Cancel that rule immediately."

Ryan paused. "Cancel it now?"

Liam's tone brooked no argument. "Right now."

An hour later, a new announcement was posted on the company's internal system.

Taking phone calls during work hours was no longer restricted.

The entire Sullivan Group was abuzz.

Employees everywhere discussed the CEO's sudden humane reform.

Vivian stared at the announcement, her fingertips turning cold.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

The timing of this rule cancellation was too coincidental.

Ripples of emotion stirred within her heart.
