I really didn't want to tell him about these terrible happenings, so I summarized it in one sentence. "Personal reasons."
We fell into a momentary silence.
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.
