The manager was the first to break the dead silence.
"If you need money, our team has a job that you can try.
"It would be helpful since you have been popular recently."
Why should Liam's manager help me?
"Thank you, but please let me think about it.
"As for the compensation, I will find a way to raise it and not cause you trouble."
The manager suddenly laughed. "Did I say you have to compensate?"
She closed all the materials and looked at me meaningfully. Her eyes changed from seriousness to gentleness.
"Liam is good-hearted. Besides, we don't lack this money.
"Don't care about what people say online. In theory, you helped to promote Liam, so we should thank you.
"However, it seems that your shop have to be closed for the time being."
I stood up and bowed to her, saying, "Thank you."
Then I walked downstairs to take a taxi.
Suddenly, Liam called out to me from behind.
"Let me take you back."
He seemed to realize that it was inappropriate and added, "It's on the way."
A black SUV stopped at the company entrance.
Liam opened the car door for me.
Just as I was about to get in, someone called me from the right side.
Noah ran towards me, looking a bit pale.
I suddenly had a bad premonition for no reason.
"Noah, what's wrong?"
He should be taking care of grandmother in the hospital. Why would he come here?
"I called you many times but you didn't answer."
I immediately took out my phone. It was dead and the screen was black.
"I told you to get a new phone. Your phone's battery won't last long even if it's fully charged."
Noah noticed Liam, who was standing beside me, and gave him a wary glance.
"Liam Shirl? It's because of you that Una got criticized!"
He threw a punch towards Liam, but I took a step forward and stood in front of him.
"Noah, this was my fault in the first place. Do you also want to make headlines tomorrow?"
Noah snorted coldly, but ultimately didn't make a move.
He pulled me to his side and lowered his voice.
"Grandmother is not well. We need to go there quickly."
Grandmother...
"Liam, thank you. Noah is here to pick me up. I'll go first."
Noah threw a helmet at me.
I followed Noah onto his motorcycle, not paying attention to Liam's expression.
Noah and I rushed to the hospital.
Grandmother has been saved.
"Your grandmother's condition is not good. She is counting her last days."
Grandmother's cancer had recently worsened and the cancer cells spread very quickly.
