Chapter 78The following day, since Naya had to meet with Mr. Jones and other members of the board of directors, she woke up as early as possible and by seven am, she was already out with Wren.Since it was unusual and they didn't discuss anything about it the previous day, Liam was scared that something had happened. At first, he didn't want to call her but when he remembered she was his responsibility and per adventure something happens to her he would be held responsible for it, he dialed her contact. “Good morning sleepy head.” Naya shrieked on the other end. They were almost getting to their destination. Hearing her calm voice, Liam was relieved but that didn't make him hung up. Rubbing his nape, he leaned against the cold wall, “Where are you?” “Oops, sorry I forgot to tell you about it last night. I got an email inviting me to AI tech for the contract signing.” She replied hurriedly, biting her bottom lips as she hoped he wasn't furious with her. Exhaling deeply, he cross
Chapter 79Liam didn't act as if he had heard anyone speak, rather, he resumed eating like no one was there, making the cousins pissed. Granny Elena didn't react to any of this. Of course she was wondering how possible Naya's claim was but she didn't show. “Why will I make up stories? Do you guys really take me for a joke?” Naya asked with a raised brow. She was glaring murderously at her cousins now who were acting carefree. Crossing her hand on her chest, she scoffed. “Stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Liam didn't offer to help you. You're just trying to push him upwards so he would get recognition.” Sam said. Before Naya could give a response to this, Nathan cleared his throat noisily and immediately all attention was fixed on him, he clasped his hand and then leaned towards Naya since she was directly opposite him. “Are you trying desperately to increase the rank of your lowlife husband? For crying out loud, he has nothing to offer and so he should stay hidden.” The
Chapter 80Liam still didn't give her a response, instead he pulled himself up and then walked across the room, his hands tucked into his pockets. “Why do you think your family wants me badly?” He asked, smacking his lips. “Because, you're good.” She said and he huffed, cranking his head to the side. “Come on, I'm not pulling your legs here. I'm being sincere.” She mused, twirling her hair in her fingers. Since Liam was the first person she had met who was always succeeding in any job he was assigned to no matter how hard it may seem, she was proud of him and wouldn't stop admiring his prowess. “I wish I could be as skilled as you are. Seeing you win and making your employer proud makes me happy and I want to be like you.” she muttered. Snapping her head upwards with her hands resting on her side, she added with a serious tone, “I mean it. I mean everything I have said about being like you. If I had the opportunity to make choices for myself while growing up, I would have been
Chapter 81Finally, the D-Day for Liam's final exams arrived and he was up as early as he could to make a final preparation and that was a final review of his notes. Done with it, he proceeded to gather the materials he would be needing for his exams and after one final check, he slipped into the bathroom to take his bath. Now in the bus station waiting for the bus, he was scrolling through his phone with his earpiece plugged in when Jake arrived, breathing heavily like he was being chased. “Why running? Is there a problem?” Liam asked, searching his face with a raised brow. “I overslept.” He gasped, trying to steady his heavy breathing while Liam stared at him with his hands wrapped on his chest. “I asked you to quit pulling an all-nighter. Even if you want to attempt it, it's best if you do that in school, there are bathrooms everywhere where you can clean up before the exams commence.” He chided, looking him over with his brow scrunched up in anger.Jake was an average student
Chapter 82Wondering what the issue was, Liam swirled around and with his shoulders slumped began to head towards Professor Jayden's office. On arrival, it took a while before he connected his fists against the door and even when he did, there was no immediate response. Wondering what the issue was, he swirled around and with his bag slung loosely over his shoulder, he wanted to take his leave only to swirl around the second time and then push the door open. Seated behind the table was Professor Jayden with his glasses perching on his nostril. He had this worried look on his face making Liam to be worried too. Gulping, Liam made his way into the office and with his hands resting by his side, he approached him. “Sir, you asked Tiffany to fetch me.” He said with his gaze on him. Not bothering to raise his head up, Professor Jayden said, “Uhm… I did. You're in serious trouble right now and I hope you would be able to wriggle yourself out easily but I doubt if that would be the case
Chapter 83For more than three minutes, the trio remained in the office waiting for the final verdict which was taking an eternity to be passed out. Deep down, Liam was muttering supplications to his maker. If he gets expelled from the school either discreetly or not, news was definitely going to go out and then his reputation would be spoiled. “Please do this for me. I will work on finding out if it really happened or not.” Turning towards Liam once more, he grabbed his shoulder more tightly, “But I bet this is all a conspiracy, right?”To this, Liam couldn't provide an answer, he was dazed as he stared into space with his hands resting on his thigh.“Fine, you asked for a second chance, I will give that to him but it shouldn't exceed a week.” Professor Davis finally said and Liam, who had his head bent to the ground all along, snapped it upwards..He didn't know how to react to the news and so he was wearing a blank expression. “Thank you, this is definitely going to be the last
Chapter 84After speaking with Liam, Rose fell on her bed and with her eyes shut tightly, she took in a deep breath, trying to calm her raging nerves down. She understood that Liam had a lot of workload at hand but at the same time she felt there was more to it. The way he had spoken showed that something more than his exams were bothering him and she wanted answers to it. Staring at the screen of her phone, she wanted to dial his contact again only to push back the phone under her pillow, cranking her head to the side. “If only I was with him, I would have comforted him.” She muttered, wrapping her hands across her chest. Just then the door creaked open and nurse Lila poked her head in with a bright smile etched on her lips. “You will be having your therapy session a bit earlier tomorrow.” She said, walking further into the room with a paper bag. “You bought the candies?” Rose asked with an excited look on her face. “I'm sorry I couldn't but someone else who had heard your wis
Chapter 85During her therapy session, Rose couldn't help but think about her meeting with Naya earlier. She was glad that she wasn't like Lily who was self centered, rather, she genuinely cared. “At last, Liam found himself a supportive girlfriend.” She muttered, her lips parting into a bright smile. Smacking her lips she returned her attention to nurse Lila who was now scowling with her hands resting on her waist. “Are we going to spend the whole day here?” she asked, trying to act sternly only to burst into laughter the next minute because of the expression on Rose's face. After leaving the ward, Naya made her way towards the elevator with her phone against her ear. Just like she said the previous night, she was already working on how to give Lily her bitter pill to swallow. “Hey Dave, any update? Were you able to ascertain if she was the culprit or not?” “Lily Davidson, I guess.” The person on the other end snorted. “That wasn't the answer I expected though.” She rolled he
