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! ''
Justin sighed and rubbed on his face; he was annoyed but kept her cool. He took a deep breath. ''I'm sorry okay, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just missed you so much, I couldn't help it. ''He apologized; his face filled with emotions, Kate couldn't raise her voice at him again; she just slumped back in her seat. ''Let's just go. I don't want to be here anymore. '' She replied as she put on her seat belt; she was still scared, but she didn't want to tell him, she would just bear the burden alone. There was no need for crying over spilled milk. Justin watched her for a moment, then took her hand in his; he kissed the back of her palm before he let her go, then started the ignition. He knew he was being selfish but some part of him wished that someone had seen them so the deal between her and Liam would be over, and she would come back to him. **** In Liam’s office: ''Come in… '' Liam said to the person who knocked on his door. Ra
The air in the room was becoming unbelievably stuffy; the guard could barely breathe. Liam had been silent for the past one minute since he explained to him what he had seen. He didn't know whether he was angry at him for talking in the first place or he was angry at the Miss because his expression was too scary.Liam could not explain how he was feeling; he felt a bitter taste at the back of his throat and his heart was beating at an unusual pace, something that had never happened to him before. He pulled his hands into fists as he tried to control himself;''Where did this happen? '' He asked after pulling himself together. His voice was profound and his eyes were dark.The guard stepped back reflexively; he didn't want to tell him; he was already so angry; he would surely explode if he told him he saw them in front of the company.“Are you deaf?” Liam yelled and his voice vibrated through the room; the man did not wait another second, he qu
Kate was quiet, she knew she couldn't stop him from leaving, there was no way she could force him to give up his job and stay in Canberra, just waiting for her. But then, it was really a hard nut to chew.''Okay, when are you going?” She asked; her eyes sunken. She was almost on the verge of crying.''In three days’ time.” He said and Kate’s jaws fell open, she was gazing at him with so much fear written on her face, he knew that she would not be happy but he didn't expect that she would be so taken aback. He wanted to speak but on a closer look he realized that she wasn't looking at him but behind him;He immediately turned around to know what she was staring so intently at, and the moment he turned, a sharp blow met his nose, which sent him falling on the flour.Kate shrieked as she stood up and leaped toward him but before she could touch him, someone had hijacked her little body from the floor.She felt herself being pla
