Chapter 41 The moment the competition wrapped up finally, armed with his prize, Liam began to head towards the exit, ignoring the crowd of several people who wanted to take a photo with him or even engage him in a chit chat. While others considered it rude, a few others felt he was overwhelmed and so they made no comment to his action. “I really can't believe you are leaving without me.” Jake said, halting Liam on his tracks. He had been on his tail ever since he left the podium but Liam had no idea about it until now. “I'm sorry but I have somewhere to be.” “Somewhere to be? We ought to be celebrating your success now. You're the trending search now on all websites and you have to… is it about Rose, she would understand.” “It's not about her.” He said hurriedly, digging his hands into his hair. After tugging on it for a while, he resumed running and this time around Jake didn't bother to go with him. “Man is acting strange nowadays.” Jake muttered, turning around only to see a

Chapter 43At first, Silvan thought Mr. Jones wanted to make fun of Liam too but when he went further to grab Liam's arm, he knew he was serious. Now staring at him with a raised brow, he asked, “What is going on here?” Silvan asked, alternating glances between Liam and Mr. Jones. “I need to speak to him privately.” Mr. Jones replied and at once, Silvan shot his head upwards. “Let's go.” Mr. Jones said the second time. This time around, Liam didn't pretend as if he hadn't heard him speak, rather, he pushed his chair backwards and then rose. “Yeah!” He nodded. While Mr. Jones turned around to leave, Silvan grabbed his shoulder forcefully and then made him sit back on the chair. He was wearing a disgusting scowl on his face. “Who is Mr. Jones to you? Are you his driver?” He asked, digging his nails into Liam's shoulder who winced in response since it hurted. Titling his head to the side, he grabbed the edge of the table and the next time he turned in his direction, he pushed his

Chapter 45Darting her eyes around and at the same time fiddling with her fingers, Naya tried to come up with a response but she couldn't find the nerves to do so. Just like Liam, she felt it was unjust but at the same time she was offered a spot in the company which she had always wanted. It was a hard decision for her to make but she must give a response that same evening, otherwise the opportunity will be withdrawn from her. “Granny, don't you think you are being hard on Naya? She can't even speak to us properly without taking her eyes off and you want her to speak with Mr. Jones of all people?” Sam asked, getting a nod from Nathan in support. “The truth is, Maya has no idea about a tech company, how is she going to convince someone who is well versed in the field to work for her. It's impossible.” Nathan was the one who spoke this time around. “I understand your concerns. The price attached to the assignment is a huge one and so she has to work for it.” Granny Elena replied,

Chapter 47Immediately Liam got to his room, he pulled out his laptop from this backpack and then connected the flash drive to it. For a moment, he couldn't comprehend when he was scrolling through and so he left the table only to return half an hour later to resume from where he had stopped. Midway through his work, Naya poked her head through his door and then made a slurping sound. She was holding a plate of noodles as she stared at him. “Are you skipping dinner?” She asked.“I will have mine after this.” He replied, nodding at his screen. Slumping her shoulders, she turned to leave and once she was in her room, she headed straight to her bed and fell on it with a sigh. Fiddling with her fingers for a while, she began to review her decision which had led to her current position. She was regretting her decisions already and was wishing the hand of time could be turned back.She wouldn't have introduced Liam as the strange man and then she wouldn't be in the mess she has created

Chapter 49Hayden Group was one of the biggest groups in the state and its environs. They were known for their groundbreaking achievement and versatility in the field, hence their popularity. The Ornery family was nothing near them and that's why there wasn't any form of collaboration between them, the same applies to the AI technology. The only reason why they were being affiliated to them was the driving force that was solidly behind them — Mr. Jones superiors like they normally say. “Sir, like I said earlier, Xander Smith can't handle this. It is beyond his expertise, otherwise, I would have handed the job to him.” Mr. Jones said. Leaning toward him with his hands clasped, he said, “I know you have a special liking for Xander but please don't let that overshadow that of William Armani here. He is as good as Xander, just that he is an intern.” “Can you listen to yourself speak?” Silvan snapped at him, wearing a smirk on his lips. “How can an intern be better than his superior?
