Chapter 884 Early in the morning, when Liz found out that Mr. Winters had gone to Glory Media to deliver a contract, she quickly had all the information gathered and sent out a whistleblower email.
Now, with Mr. Winters suspended and under investigation, she felt like she had successfully rooted out a mole for the Starlight Group.
Remington really owed her one.
Sometimes, it's like the universe is listening; just as Liz was thinking about Remington, her phone buzzed with a new message.
She picked it up to see a Whatmessage from Remington himself.
Opening it, Liz was surprised to find a selfie from him.

A ray of sunlight, carrying both light and shadow, brushed right past the edge of his sharp Adam's apple, nestling in the hollow of his neck.
The man's handsface was relaxed and content, his eyebrows stretched, and his profile was resting against the big head of a creamy teddy bear.
His deep eyes stared at the screen, perhaps influenced by the dark, dull eyes beside him, losing their usual deep and sharp look, and instead, there was a hint of a pitiful shine.

Liz couldn't help but smile as she read his text and glanced back at the photo, her lips curving up.

[I'm not acting cute!] Liz raised an eyebrow, about to reply, when she saw his follow-up.
[I'm just being affectionate.] If it weren't for the fact that she had personally unblocked him on WhatsApp, she might have doubted this was really Remington.
She fought to keep her smile in check.
[Men in their thirties shouldn't be whining either!] [I'm not yet thirty, and besides, Grandma taught me...] He left his sentence hanging, and Liz was curious.

Seeing Liz's intentionally brief praise, Remington let out a few amused huffs of dissatisfaction. The little brat was getting cheekier by the day, not taking her "big brother" seriously anymore.
But this light and cheerful atmosphere was truly nostalgicm Tilly nostalgiam Remington silently noted this mement in his heart, replying with a smile. [I'll pick you up for lunch, we can eat together, and I'll bring it along.] He watched the chat eagerly, but Liz's rejection was blunt.
[I'm busy at noon. Keep the bear, it seems to match you quite well. M Remington turned to glance at the silly bear, his face full of distaste. A lunch he couldn't secure, a bear of no use - how did it match him at all! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
