Chapter 46The following day, immediately the alarm went off, Liam threw his leg off his bed and then dashed into the bathroom. After a warm bath, he returned to his room and then pulled out the newest outfit he had gotten for this occasion and with a bright smile he dressed up. Today was Monday and it was his first day at work at AI technology. He was super excited that after studying all through the night, he couldn't keep still until sleep stole him away. While he was still dressing up, a knock was heard and at once he said, “Come in.” He knew it was Naya on the other end. Grinning from side to side, Naya walked into his room and took her seat on the feet of his bed. After looking around for a while, she snapped her head in his direction, only to be greeted with his broad back, staring back at her. Pursing her lips, she pulled herself up and then walked to his mini library and then began to study the cover page of any book she picked up. “Are you interested in tech?” Liam ask
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 48Chuckling lightly , Maxwell walked up to where Silvan stood. Just as he was about to touch him, Silvan sent him a stern look which made him halt. “Sir…” “Get this filthy thing out of here this minute.” He yelled, pushing Liam's backpack off the table but before it could get to the ground, Liam was quick to grab it. “Get out, are you still sitting here?” He yelled in his face. “My boss asked me to be here. I shouldn't leave without his authorization.” Liam replied calmly, his gaze still rooted to the ground. His response did nothing but to increase Silvan rage that the next minute he was pacing to and fro in circles. “I think you should leave from here.” A bothered Maxwell said. Silvan Hayden was well known in the world of technology and apart from that, his family organisation, the Hayden Group was bigger than AI technology and so everything that could be done to appease him was always done. “But sir, Mr. Jones asked me to be present at the meeting at eight am. I wi
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?
Chapter 50With Silvan and Mr. Jones gone, Aria pulled out the chair next to Liam and then buried her head on the table for a while. When she finally shot it upwards, she took in a deep breath, her gaze on Liam before saying, “Have you met with Silvan Hayden before now?” She was asking this question because of how Silvan had treated him less than a human.Though she was furious and even wanted to put an end to the bully, she didn't have the authority to do so, otherwise she was going to lose her job. “Yeah.” Liam replied, nodding his head as he bit his lips. This time around, he didn't restrict himself from smiling. Moreover, Silvan was nowhere to be found anymore. With his hands folded across his chest,he leaned backwards, his gaze on the chair Silvan had occupied a while ago. “He was bent on tearing you into pieces. Looks like he really wanted to get rid of you.” She mused. Leaning towards him with her hands clasped, she raised her brow before saying. “Tell me, did you steal an
Chapter 51Immediately he stepped out of the company, Xander who had been trailing after him, walked up to him, blocking his path. “Hey.” He said with a smirk on his lips.“Hey.” Liam replied, grasping his backpack more tightly than ever. He already knew what Xander wanted from him and so he was getting himself prepared for it. “Can we talk? The cafeteria.” “Uhm… is it urgent? I need to be somewhere as soon as possible. I'm sorry.” He said, trying to walk past him but Xander pulled him back. This time around, with a stern voice, he said, “Come with me now.” He didn't wait for Liam to even respond to him before he headed into the building and Liam had no choice but to follow him.Now sitting opposite each other in the cafeteria, a cup of coffee in front of them, Xander looked around for a while before focusing his attention on Liam who had been staring at him. “What do you think you did back there?” He asked with an icy tone. “I don't understand what you're driving at.” Liam repl
Chapter 52 For the next few minutes, the car was tension filled, no one talking to the other, just staring. While Naya was still pondering on the possibility of it, Wren was wondering what was going on. He was lost in the whole thing and the more he tried to wrap his head around it, the more difficult it was for him. “Ma'am I don't know why you are thinking in that direction but one thing for sure is, siblings tend to act this way most times.” He said breaking the silence in the car. Naya shot her head upwards only to turn around the next minute as she bit her bottom lips. “I guess Wren is right. I didn't get to feel this love as a child even from my family, let alone my cousins.” She muttered, her gaze outside the window as she stared at the hospital. “I understand.” She said and with a low sigh, pushed her phone inside her purse. “Let's proceed.” She said, trying to forget about how she felt. When Liam got to the ward, it took a while before he pushed the door in and even whe
Chapter 53Shocked by the question, Naya who had a smile on her face switched to a different expression entirely as she stared back at Rose who was waiting for her response. “Is it that difficult to answer?” Rose's voice made Naya snap her head upwards. Smiling nervously at her, she tilted her head to the side when her phone suddenly began to ring. Taking this as a cue, she took an excuse and then left the ward. Even after speaking with the caller, she didn't return to the ward immediately. She remained in the hallways, pacing to and fro with her hands clutching her gown. At intervals, she would look back at the ward only to return her gaze the next minute with a little sigh. “Seems like she doesn't like me just like her brother.” She muttered absentmindedly, almost bumping into the gurney that held a patient. “I'm sorry.” She apologized with her head bent to the ground but no one paid her any head since they were all in a hurry. Now leaning against the wall, she exhaled deeply,
