"What are you doing here, Evelyn?"

The voice at the archive room door startled Evelyn, and she nearly dropped the files in her hands.

She quickly regained her composure and tried to stay calm. "Oh, John, I'm looking for some old records. Liam sent me."

John's brow furrowed slightly, clearly doubting her explanation.

"Liam sent you? He didn't mention anything about it to me."

Evelyn smiled. "It was a last-minute decision. He probably forgot to tell you. These documents are crucial for an important ongoing project. I'm just here to confirm some details."

John still wasn't entirely convinced.

"I'll check with Liam about this. If you do have his authorization, then it's fine."

Evelyn nodded. "Of course, feel free to confirm with him."

John glanced at the files in her hand and scanned the archive room.

"Alright, but you'd better finish quickly. You know how important this room is. Make sure you don't take any documents out. I'll be keeping an eye on this."

Evelyn nodded nonchalantly. "Thanks for the reminder. I'll be quick."

After John left, Evelyn swiftly scanned the layout of the archive room, identifying the section with the old files. She started searching through the dusty cabinets.

Finally, she found a folder from several years ago, detailing TechNova's decisions and communications.

Carefully, she opened the file, her eyes scanning each page for crucial clues.

Suddenly, her gaze stopped on a document—a decision record about the withdrawal of a loan commitment to her father's company.

The document detailed the reasons for the loan withdrawal, shockingly stating it was based on an official request from her father. The file clearly indicated that her father's company had found other financing channels and no longer needed the loan.

Evelyn's hands trembled slightly, her heart in turmoil.

She had always believed her father's company went bankrupt due to Liam's decision, leading her father to take his own life.

But now, she discovered the truth was different. The decision to withdraw the loan was based on her father's request.

She continued flipping through the documents and found the official request, complete with her father's company stamp and signature. Looking at her father's handwriting, tears welled up in Evelyn's eyes.

Since her father's suicide, Evelyn hadn't truly been happy. She had always believed that Liam, through despicable means, caused her father's company to go bankrupt, leading to his death.

For her revenge plan, she spent countless days and nights studying business, learning Liam's preferences and style, transforming herself from an innocent, clueless girl into her current self.

However, during her time with Liam, she discovered his unknown side.

Liam wasn't just a ruthless business tycoon; he was also gentle and caring. He cared about her work progress, helped her when she faced difficulties, and stayed by her side when she was unhappy.

Liam's smiles and kind words repeatedly broke down her hardened heart, bringing an unprecedented warmth.

Since realizing her feelings for Liam, Evelyn had felt immense conflict and pain.

She knew these feelings posed a significant threat to her revenge plan, so she constantly forced herself not to fall for him. She repeatedly berated herself, feeling she had betrayed her past vows, her years of effort, and her loving father.

But now, she could finally free herself from this torment.

She no longer needed to struggle between hatred and love. She didn't need to force herself to do what she didn't want to do or suppress her feelings for Liam.

She could follow her heart and openly love him, proudly telling Liam that she loved him.

Liam was sitting behind his large desk, working on an important contract.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, outlining his chiseled features. Evelyn stood in front of his desk, holding several documents, her eyes filled with warmth and a smile.

"Liam, I've organized these documents. Please check if there's anything that needs to be changed."
Evelyn handed the files over, her eyes never leaving him.

Liam glanced through a few pages.
"Oh, and Mark called to remind us not to forget the party after work."
"Okay."
Liam suddenly looked up, noticing Evelyn's beaming smile.

He raised an eyebrow, put down the documents, and smiled. "What's up today, Evelyn? You seem in a great mood."

Evelyn covered her mouth and giggled.
"Nothing special, just thought you look particularly charming today."

Liam corrected, "Not just today, every day."

Evelyn's eyes sparkled with mischief as she walked to the desk, leaning in close.

"Liam, you know, sometimes you can be really narcissistic."

Liam took her hand, gently pulling her onto his lap.
Evelyn gasped softly but soon laughed, resting on his shoulder.

"So, why have you been smiling at me all day?" Liam asked softly, a pampered smile on his face.

Evelyn's cheeks flushed slightly, but her eyes were full of sweetness.
"I just feel... everything is perfect now. We're together, with no barriers. I can love you with all my heart."

Resting against his chest, Evelyn listened to his heartbeat, speaking softly.
"Liam, thank you for your patience and love."

"Are you still planning to move out?"

Evelyn shook her head.
"From now on, I want to enjoy every moment with you."

Liam's hand gently caressed Evelyn's cheek, lifting her face to look into her eyes.

"You know, every time I look at you, my heart feels so full, like it's about to overflow with happiness."

Evelyn's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Liam tightly, feeling his warmth and strength.

"Liam, I love you. I really love you." She stood on tiptoe, kissing Liam's lips. The kiss was filled with love and gratitude, as if pouring all her emotions into it.

Liam kissed her back, his heartbeat quickening, feeling like the world had stopped.

He knew that no matter how tough the future might be, as long as he had Evelyn by his side, he had endless strength and courage.

They slowly pulled apart, Evelyn looking at Liam, her eyes shining with happiness.
"Liam, let's face the future together. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side."

Liam held her hand tightly, nodding firmly. "Together, always."

The world outside the office remained busy, but in this moment of tenderness, they had only each other, only their pure love.

They believed that as long as they loved each other, they could overcome any obstacle and embrace a happy life together.

At that moment, they both held hopes for a bright future, wishing that life could continue as beautifully as it was.

Little did they know, true happiness is fragile, like delicate glass easily shattered by life's harsh realities.
