Liza felt a surge of annoyance bubbling within her chest. Determined to irritate Gavin, she declared loudly, “If I hadn’t married you, I might have ended up marrying Senior instead. He treats me so well!” To her dismay, Gavin didn’t react the way she expected. Instead of looking jealous or upset, he smirked, his expression annoyingly composed. Liza’s confidence faltered, and she felt a lump rise in her throat. Is he actually happy? Why isn’t he jealous? she wondered. Does he not care at all? She suddenly felt foolish, like a performer in front of an unbothered audience. But she refused to back down. With a dramatic sigh, she said, “I’ve known Senior for ten years. Even though I’m married to you now, my feelings for him haven’t changed and can’t be replaced. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you can take his place in my heart.”Gavin remained unruffled. In fact, he seemed so at ease that he handed her a glass of water as if to help her continue talking without tiring herself out. Liza blinked, stunned. Wait… Not only is he not jealous, but he’s encouraging me to keep talking? Her frustration deepened as she gnashed her teeth. “Even if Senior doesn’t acknowledge me,” she pressed on, “he’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Don’t think for a second that just because I’m married to you, I’m going to distance myself from him. Do you hear me?” “Mhm…” Gavin replied lazily, dragging out the sound with a teasing lilt. His eyes glinted with quiet amusement, a small smile playing on his lips. “You like your Senior?” he asked, though his tone made it seem more like a statement than a question. Liza, too caught up in her own frustration, failed to notice the subtle undertone in his voice. “Of course, I do!” she exclaimed. “Actually, it’s not just that I like him—I love him!”At that moment, the door creaked open, and Mason stepped in, wearing a sharp suit and his usual bright smile. “Ah, so you’re both here!” he said cheerfully as he took a seat. The atmosphere in the room felt slightly tense, and Mason, perceptive as ever, noticed it immediately. He glanced between Gavin and Liza before asking cautiously, “What’s going on? I was planning to bring my junior to meet you, Senior, but you’re always busy with work. I figured you might not have the time.” Gavin’s expression remained calm and unreadable, as though nothing was amiss. Meanwhile, Liza’s mind raced. Something about Mason’s words didn’t sit right. She took a sip of water, her brows furrowing slightly as she tried to piece it together. Then Mason added casually, “Senior, I thought I’d be the one introducing you two today. How did you end up meeting on your own?” “Wait… Senior?”Liza’s grip faltered, and the cup slipped from her hand, shattering on the floor as water splashed everywhere. Her wide eyes fixed on Mason, her mind spinning in disbelief. “Who… did you say he is?” Mason quickly grabbed a tissue to dab at his pants, unfazed by her shock. “He’s your senior!” he replied matter-of-factly. Liza rubbed her ears, almost hoping she had misheard. But the weight of his words settled over her, leaving her frozen. Her face drained of color as she stared blankly, struggling to process the revelation. She glanced at Gavin, her voice trembling as she asked, “Are you telling me he’s Miles ?” Mason raised an eyebrow, confused by her reaction. “Of course! Your senior is Miles . And, by the way, he already knows you’re Black Tide.” Gavin’s lips curled into a smirk, his eyes sparkling with amusement. “Junior,” he said casually, his voice carrying a teasing lilt, “didn’t you just say you like me the most?” Liza’s jaw dropped. Her mouth opened, but no words came out as her expression froze in sheer disbelief. Is this real? she thought. Her body moved on instinct, and she abruptly stood up, her chair scraping against the floor. Horror flashed across her face as she pointed a shaky finger at Gavin. “You’re Miles ?!” Gavin chuckled lightly. “Don’t believe me?” he asked, his voice calm, though his amusement was evident. Meanwhile, Mason was blissfully unaware of the tension building between them. With an excited grin, he chimed in, “Black Tide, I knew you’d find this hard to believe. I was shocked for days when I first found out!” Liza stood there, her mind reeling. It wasn’t just a shock—it was utter chaos. Gavin leaned back slightly, his tone light but undeniably teasing. “Black Tide, didn’t you just say you like me a lot? You even said you love me. What else was it?” Liza felt her chest tighten, choking on her own words. Before Mason entered the room, she had no idea Gavin was her senior. She had said all those things to provoke him, thinking she was expressing her admiration for Mo to make him jealous. But now it all made sense—Gavin hadn’t been angry because the person she was confessing to was him all along! Mason’s excitement only added to her mortification. “Junior, you confessed? But… aren’t you married? Your poor husband!” Liza’s face burned with embarrassment as she clenched her fists. “I was talking nonsense!” she snapped, her tone defensive. “Do you think I’m crazy? I would never say something like that again! Gavin, just consider me blind!” Gavin let out a quiet snort, clearly enjoying her flustered state. Before the situation could escalate further, Liza’s phone buzzed, breaking the tension. She quickly answered, and George’s cheerful voice greeted her. “Young Madam! Young Master has handled the issue with Serena and Davis. The shareholders have unanimously voted to expel Serena from Sinclair Corperation. She’s no longer welcome there.”Liza’s eyes lit up with surprise. She had planned to take her time dealing with Serena, intending for Albert to handle it slowly. Yet Gavin had already taken care of everything, saving her the trouble. Gavin spoke lazily, as though the resolution was a trivial matter. “Serena’s expulsion is only the beginning. The Stone Corporation will continue applying pressure. Now, Mrs. Liza, what do you think you should do?” Her earlier words about loving her senior echoed in her mind, making her smile awkwardly. In the end, she decided it didn’t matter if she’d embarrassed herself—Gavin was her husband, after all. There was no point dwelling on her misstep.
