Chapter 182 - After Hours Office Escape

Hazel's POV

After bidding farewell to everyone at the celebration, Liam and I lingered at the house while George supervised the catering cleanup. Liam planned to drive me home, but his phone buzzed with an urgent message from Blake, his Boston associate, requesting an immediate video conference.

"Darling, would you mind accompanying me to the office for this call?" Liam asked, his brow furrowed with concern.

"Of course not. Let's go. It's barely past eleven, and I haven't transformed into a pumpkin yet." I smiled, trying to lighten his mood.

"If you're Cinderella, shouldn't you become a servant at midnight?" he teased, his tension easing slightly.

"I'm not Cinderella. I'm the carriage, sturdy and dependable," I shot back, earning a genuine laugh from him.
