"I can give you some time to think about the offer, if you aren't sure" Evans offers politely, not making any move to push me into agreeing. Modeling, I picture myself before thousands of cameras giving killer poses and the photographers trying to get my good sides. Or the people feasting their eyes on me as I cat walk through the run way. There's no runway Scarlett, I shouldn't get ahead of myself. I gush internally, nibbling the biscuits. "There is no need, i agree" I chip in but slowly pretending to have reconsidered the offer so as not to appear too eager. I want to do it. The thought of it alone gives me thrills so why should I pass up the offer. Liam shouldn't have any problem with me working as a model, and he probably is already aware of the offer. A furrow appears between his brows, "Really?" he pushes doubtfully. "Of course. It's a nice deal and I would like to model for the project" Evans' smile widened. "That's excellent news, I will begin the preparations for
My jaw drop open in shock. I immediately gather my composure snapping my mouth shut. "What does that mean?" I demand irritatedly, refusing to believe I heard correctly. Liam pins me down with his intense gaze, his stance rigid. I study the lines of exhaustion and stress on his face as he narrows his gaze on me. "Liam…" I begin to say. "Forget it" he grumbles a note of bitterness in his voice, his brows curve into a frown as he cuts me off before I can implore further. I scoff internally. He can't just go about dropping bombshells like this every time and expect me to forget it, telling me to forget it like it's nothing. "This is…" Liam gave me one last look and moved past me heading for the exit, ready to leave. Oh no you don't, I grab his arm quickly causing him to halt. "Tell me, I want to know" I insist. "Why did you say that?" Liam didn't even spare me the tiniest glance as he shoves my hands off and storms out of the room slamming the door shut, leaving me in a conf
I lean back a little, watching him watch me. Spend time with me, as in, on a date? I bit back the smile beginning to form, maintaining a passive look.I Clear my throat. "Are you sure you do not have something urgent to attend to?" I push. He smiles slowly. "It's just you and me today, at all time" I know I should not let what Liam just said to me get to my head but that did not stop my inside from rejoicing and gushing internally. And yet the anxious knot twists my stomach then I take a deep breath.What do I call this? A dream come true? A moment of jealousy? Or another act for the public? Whatever it is, I will be outside breathing in the fresh air is what is important and I will be having fun. Liam slid a hand down my body but I caught it in time stopping it from reaching whatever destination planned. He gives me a searching look then asks, "So what do you say?" I shove his hand off rolling off the bed so there is enough space between us then j shrug and respond, "Whateve
Mitchell, Garrett Norman's supposedly special mistress, is dressed outrageously. Aside from the loud makeup which is not the only thing I notice as I move my eyes to the plunging neck of the other woman's body hug dress, her breasts were partially covered. An amazing feat of the dress I must say. I recall our encounter at the party when I almost got slapped with those sizable breasts and I scrunch my face at the unpleasant memory. "Hello Liam Knight. You look dashing" her voice drops as low as a throaty whisper. Her eyes were literally striping his cloths, eye fucking him. I puke in my mouth, taking my gaze back to the menu. I have no idea what Caesar salad is but it is the most recurring dish on the menu. But my attention zeros on the honey roast duck and chicken cordon bleu. Those certainly had to be good. "And won't you introduce me to your lovely company?" My gaze moves once again from the menu to Mitchell whose nose is twitched like a hound scenting a fox. Her curly brown h
I bit back a moan as I chewed slowly on my meal. I guessed right, the chicken cordon bleu tasted fringing great. Our orders arrived a few minutes earlier and it's been la la wonderland. And not to forget the excellent wine. Just staring at the bottle makes my stomach dance with joy. I reach the bottle but Liam beats me to it picking up the bottle. I look up at him with my brows arched in question. "You shouldn't drink much" he explains pouring the wine into my glass himself. I watch like a hawk as he fills my glass and a muscle jumps in my jaw when Liam stops with my glass half way filled. "What's this?" I snarl. He smirks, setting down the bottle gently. "Wine, what, is it wrong that I choose to do the serving?" I scrunch my nose narrowing my gaze at him. "Whatever" not like I can't reach for it next time. The next time never arrives as every time I reach for the bottle Liam would always beat me to it. It was like he predicted my move even before I made it. "Stop that" I
"I never really asked about the offer with the St. Bond" he interrupts the silence, his voice free from any sign of anger. I swing my leg and arm casually over him burrowing close to him like a cat. "The offer is great, don't you think?" He hums in response, his fingers drawing imaginary circles on my clothed back. "You are the perfect person for the job" I beam as he said that. "You know I've never imagined myself as a model but I'm a hundred percent sure I'm gonna rock it" Liam lets out a throaty laugh, his chest vibrating beneath my cheek, his heart beating a steady, strong, reassuring tempo in my ear. "I'm sure you will" there is another moment of silence before he speaks up again, "Why didn't you just ask directly about Mitchell?" I shrug. "It's not my business anyway" And although he didn't say it out loud I heard him whisper 'it should be' but I decided to ignore what i heard.He picks up my finger from where it laid on his chest then begins to play with my fingers pickin
I jerk off the bed, blinking to focus. What in the world was that sound? I look beside me and find the space empty with no sign of Liam anywhere in the room. Instead I find something else though, something shocking. The room is in a complete mess, more like in complete havoc. Did I sleep through an earthquake? I glance at the digital wall clock hung up on the wall and see it is still very early. Early as in, twelve in the morning. Then that means the crashing sounds from earlier wasn't a dream? Pillows scattered everywhere. Broken glasses everywhere. The night table flanking the bed was in complete disorder. Even the pretty flower vases were smashed everywhere. Clothes scattered everywhere. And portraits smashed to the ground. It looks like a vicious tornado had ripped through the room and left all the possessions in a complete mess. And the possibility of a volcano is a zero and that leaves only one other possibility, Liam. “Liam” I called in panic, my eyes trained on the two oth
Liam stiffened as if I had hit him, slowly pulling away sniffing loudly. It was like the moment was finally over. And I knew it and didn't try to force it either by letting him pull away from me and not forcing him to meet my gaze.and I make it easier by not staring at him at all. We both stay in silence staring up at the midnight sky. I thought of the fear when I had been searching for him and my heart cramp in my chest. Thank God he's alright. Barely. But alive and the wound didn't look that deep either. I want to blast whatever caused Liam to get like this but then again I'm clueless so all I can do is keep my anger to myself. “Can I have some alone time” Liam breathes out in a mare whisper that I have to strain my ear to listen. I turn and lift my gaze to his, doubt shimmering in my eyes. “Please” he adds not sparing me a glance. I bit on my lower lip then nod slowly, my eyes locked keenly on his face. “Okay. In case you need anything just give me a call” He doesn’t re
