Part 13
Lia's POV
Four Days! It's been four days since we are back at Lucian's home. And three days since I moved here. I scarcely set my foot out between packing, moving, and unpacking things. Tomorrow I will be joining Luc's office as his Associate. I will join in the name of Adelia Wentworth; in fact, I haven't changed my name to Adelia Alastair. Somehow the name Adelia Alastair doesn't ring a bell as good as Adelia Wentworth. As usual, I zone out of my thoughts and late for my night out with my friends. I am meeting Als and Mitch for dinner tonight. I rarely see Lucian in the four days. Once he dropped me at home, he just left to office. At least thoughtful to leave James to pack my things from my house.
God, I am on the verge of crying, thinking about how I packed from my home. Even though my dad and mom braced a smile, the unshed tears

Luc's POV "Waiting for the inevitable???" I am sure to detect the smirk in James's voice. I decide not to answer. "When is David reporting to office back?" I divert the topic. "Tomorrow. I have already set up a meeting." "Make sure to include Lia. Let's check her level of expertise in administration." "What will be your explanation for including Lia? In fact, how are you going to introduce her here?" James's voice has genuine curiosity. "We are introducing here as my associate. She will be either working with you or with me..." "But not al

Luc's POV My hands trace the paperweight while watching the presentation. The meeting is set to discuss our next steps on the Eurasian expansion, and David is providing the pointers based on his recent visit to Japan. A junior-level executive could have presented better. I doubt if he prepared the content or he just delegated the work to his subordinates. He is becoming more and more nervous seeing my poker face. To think he is appointed to take care of Europe and Asia, Were you, serious Dad? Finally, the lights are on, and all the board turn for my reaction. It's time to check if the board finds the flaws I have caught in the presentation. "What is your opinion about this expansion?" my question is posted in general. "This is an excellent opportunity for our growth. Considering the m

Lia's POV The buzz of alarm wakes me from my deep slumber. I blink a couple of times to adjust the sunlight from the terrace into my room. The day is bright, and I don't want to waste in bed. It is only 6:30 am and a lot of time to get ready for the office. I decide to visit mom and dad before going to the office. After completing my morning routine, I dress up in a grey slub Knee length skirt matching a black keyhole Neck top. A simple gold bracelet with matching earrings complements the attire. I atone the hair in a single plait. A touch of mascara and lip gloss completes my look. I ensure that I have my items in my bag along with my laptop and enter the kitchen. My breath hitches at the sight of Lucian sitting on the island. His jacket is discarded on the back of the chair, and sle

Lia’s POV I rush into the office and find James waiting for me. His confused expression tells me that he is clueless. “Is Lucian in yet?” “He is still on the meeting. He will be here in another 30 min. What is the matter, Lia?” “It is about Aviation International” James’ puzzlement becomes deeper. “What’s with Aviation International?” “Before that, can you tell me what Lucian’s decision on Negotiation is?” “Why do you want to know it? Out of the blue, you called stating to discuss something important. Then, without giving any information, you want to know about Lucian’s decision on Aviati

Luc's POV I cannot stop shaking with anger. How dare she? I have started believing in her, and she has shown her true colors. I am an idiot to believe in another girl. I should not have included her in such a crucial negotiation. My concentration is not entirely in the meeting, and I left the discussion with the rest of the team. I will check with James later on that. She spoiled my day. I sense James entering the room and sits in front of me, but I never lookup. Finally, after ten minutes of silence, I see him sitting and checking on his mobile. Sensing my change in attention, he looks up and chuckles at me. I utter an angry what. James's smile becomes wider. "Are you not going to ask about the meeting?"

Lia's POV I look up, hearing a soft tap. I see Luc standing at the door. His face doesn't show any emotions, so that I cannot deduct his mood. Why has he come? Does he want to question more about morning? I am sure my face is full of questions. "Are you not coming for the meeting?" I am more confused. "What meeting?" "The follow-up meeting for the Eurasian merger. Cindy had sent you the meeting invite in the morning." "But..." "But what?" Is he playing with me? My anger sprouts slowly. "I don't know if you are playing with me. You have men

Luc's POV The tables are arranged in circles. I am seated at the prime table with Lia on my right and James on my Left. Other than that there is Victoria, the female lead, her husband, and Director Chris. I could see another female at the table who looks familiar. My steps slightly halter when I realize that it is Diaz. Diaz's face brightens on seeing us. I catch her eyes narrow slightly at me, holding Lia close. Being aware of her intention, I know it's going to be a long evening. "Good evening Luc, this is Diaz. Diaz, this is Lucian. But Of course, no need of introductions for our main man." Chris laughs, looking at me. "Hi Luc, long time. How are you?" How dare she talks to me so casually? I feel James stiffening at the sight of her

Luc's POV "Make sure that all the board members are intimated of the changes. I need a detailed plan about the new research wing on my table by evening." Mitchel is taking notes of my instructions. Lia and James are also with me. "Mr. Alastair, Mr. David wants to book a meeting to finalize the draft on contract with Aviation International." Lia's hand stops momentarily on her keypad, but she never looks up. I know she is listening keenly. I admire her stubbornness. "Very well, Mitchel. Ask David to prepare the final draft. But I have to check on that before the discussion." Mitchel utters her understanding and leaves the room after. I turn to look as James is trying to control his laugh
