Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 594

"...Liz?" Sammy called out twice, but the woman didn't respond.

It wasn't until he gently squeezed her shoulder that Liz finally snapped back to reality.

"...What did you say?"

"I was asking what you're looking at?"

"Nothing." Liz brushed off his hand from her shoulder, "I've got something for Mr. Reynolds."

With that, she hurried off towards Owen Reynolds.

Sammy watched his own hand fall back to his side, and Liz's eager figure moving away, a puzzled frown crossing his face.

He hadn't expected Liz to be interested in this kind of mixer.

Since she wanted to come, he thought he might as well join her.

So, he specifically reached out to the college student council, offering to attend as a faculty representative.

After all, Sammy didn't just work in Owen Reynolds' lab; he also held a position on campus.

When Liz saw the invitation, her smile was brighter than the sun itself.

Sammy rarely saw her smile like that, and he couldn't help but smile too.

He thought to himself, this was definitely worth the effort!
