''Miss, Mrs. Milly wants to see you. '' A maid approached Kate as she stepped down from the car; she remembered that Liam had told her to get ready, so she followed the maid; Milly was sitting on a couch in the living room, immediately she saw Kate come in, she stood up;
''Follow me. '' She commanded and Kate followed, walking behind her carefully;
Kate was taken to her room; but she could barely recognize it, many clothes heaped on her bed; by the side, she saw boxes of shoes, handbags, purses, pieces of jewelry to name a few; there were two lavishly dressed people in the room; a man and a lady;
As soon as the door opened, they turned towards their direction;
''Is she the one? '' The man who dressed like a woman's asked; Milly nodded and gestured for Kate to move forward; satisfied that she had done her part, she left the room, closing the door behind her.
''Well, good day sweetheart, I'm a makeup artist and she is a fashion designer, we are
Kate bathed quickly and tied her hair in a towel; after applying her lotion, she tied her robe properly before stepping out of the room; when they saw her step out, they followed her in; ''Now, time for my magic hand! Sweetheart! '' the man exclaimed with a small smile as he rubbed his palm together; Kate sat on a seat as he worked, he first of styled her hair before working on her face; the smile on his face vanished as he worked; he was quick but meticulous and when he was through he shifted away from the mirror for her to see herself; ''Wow! '' Kate couldn't help but exclaim; she looked breathtaking. ''Yeah, that's my skills, baby gal! '' The lady stood up from the sofa and smiled when she saw Kate’s face; ''Well, I'm not surprised; she's a beauty to start with. Now, let's get you into your gown and heels; we have less than twenty minutes to go. '' The lady said as she picked her gown from the bed and the man excused them; K
Kate was lost in thought but when she felt Liam slow down, she looked up in front of her; she had thought his estate was magnificent but what she saw in front of her was something else; she watched with great awe as the elaborated-iron gates with ornate dragon design opened on their own accord; the grass smelt freshly cut and there were some drops of water on them as though they were recently watered, Kate's jaw dropped as they stopped in front of the exquisite mansion which had a beautiful fountain in front of it. It was at least six floors and it was definitely wider than Liam’s Mansion. Kate couldn't help but wonder how many people lived there; There were many other flashy cars parked there, Kate wondered just how many wealthy people she would have to put up with that night. Liam turned off the engine and turned to her; ''I'll do most of the talking, you'll answer only when it is very necessary, do you understand? '' Kate nodded; ''Wait here. '' he
Kate breathed rapidly as they stepped into the massive living room, she could hear some people chattering in the room but as soon as the guard by the doors pushed it open, their eyes turned to the door.Liam carried an mysteriously quiet air around him, such that when he entered the room with his hands around Kate, everywhere became quiet. They watched them as though they were some alien.What made them quieter was the fact that Liam had come with a woman! Liam has never been seen with a woman before, so the sight was shocking to them. It took about thirty seconds for them to leave the slight daze they were in, but the shock could not leave their faces.He barely came for the dinners and whenever he did, he was always quiet and alone; he was so quiet that no-one even noticed him, but today was different, they suddenly couldn't keep their gazes off him, or more like off the woman that he came with.Liam pulled Kate close to him as they sat down on a couch
It was Lilian Smith, Benjamin’s Wife. She was sitting beside her husband, and although it looked as though she was eating, she was busy studying and Kate. When she saw them in the living room, she was shocked; she knew that Liam had issues with commands, and he barely listened to suggestions, so she was expecting him to disobey grandpa's command, but on the contrary, he had obeyed him dutifully. As soon as she saw them, she knew that they weren't in love; she knew that Grandpa knew it too, but he just wanted to support him. He was always on his side from the beginning! Her heart squeezed as she thought about how much her husband had worked to get Smith Corporation to where it was now. And Liam just came out of the nowhere and demanded to take it back? After twelve whole years! Grandpa just used her husband as a pawn, a pawn to build his first son's company! He had a liking towards Daniel, Liam’s father, and had favored him ever since childhood. His de
Lilian knew that Kate had faked her cough to avoid her question. She was so clever! Initially, she thought she was easy to get rid of, but after what happened, she knew that she was wiser than she thought her to be.She felt her husband hold her free hand which was on her laps and squeeze it lightly. He saw what had happened, but he didn't say a word;Liam was really pushing him, and he wasn't sure of what he could do once he was over the cliff.After the meal, the family had their dessert. Liam waited awhile before he told grandpa that he wanted to leave;''Oh no, are you leaving so soon? We haven't even gotten to know your wife yet.'' Albert said, looking over at Kate.''Don't worry grandpa, I'll come some other time, and we'll spend quality time together. '' Kate said with a beautiful smile on her cheeks;''Oh, that's sweet! '' Albert replied with a smile. “when are you two planning to have an official wedding?”Albert
Ha! when it comes to going to a lion’s den they all turn away and now treat me like a mistress of the house how laughable.She watched Milly walk away without glancing back again, her eyes turned to the maids who were standing around but immediately she looked at them, they all looked away from her, busying themselves with chores.Kate looked at the thermos flask in her hands and she knew that she didn't have a choice but to go up herself. It was almost ten o'clock. He must have gone to work, so there was no much big deal there, was there?All she needed to do was walk up the stairs, open his door, walk to his fridge, put the flask in and step out, there was nothing there. Come on, she wasn't afraid of an empty room, was she?She masked up her nervousness with those words and walked towards the stairs; once she was on the second floor, her heart started beating.'It's an empty room, Kate! Get a hold of yourself!! Stop being a scared cat!&rsqu
Kate bit her lower lip as she stopped in her tracks; she slowly turned around to look at him;There was no smile on his face, his face was cold as ever and she knew he was angry; her eyes slowly fell to her already jittery legs.''What were you doing in my parlor?''He asked, taking small steps towards her, his eyes fixated on her;Kate’s heart beat fast as she watched him approach, when he was almost close to her, she started stepping back, she inched backwards until her back was against the door; he was a few inches away from her now, and she was finding it hard to breathe. His fresh breath fanned her face, and she didn't know why she was suddenly feeling sleepy in that serious situation;''Do you have hearing problem? Or are your lips sealed? ''His eyes narrowed, and he asked with an irritated tone. Kate gulped down hard and she felt beads of sweat forming on her forehead; she knew she was in big trouble now.She blamed her
When Liam finished dressing up, he walked to the window to check if the guards had the cars ready, when he saw that they were already waiting for him, he turned to leave the room, then something flashed in his eyes; he immediately turned to the window again.She was staring at one of his cars intently as though there was something on it, his brows creased as he wondered what she was doing; he waited to know what she would do and suddenly she started walking towards the last car, when she approached, she lowered her head and stealthily go in, closing the door behind her.Liam was shocked to his spines. What in hell did she want to do?He thought for a moment but couldn't find a good answer to his question, so he waited to see what she planned on doing.How brave of you little kitten! I see you are growing some claws. Liam lamented inwardly with a dangerous smile plastered on his lips making him look like the king of hell.''Good morning, boss! ''
