Cynthia's disdain and distrust for Liam inspired her to sabotage his chances of staying at the company.
She took him to a discount store.
She chooses a few low-quality clothing items for him to try on, hoping to humiliate him by buying ill-fitting, low-quality clothes.
"Try these." she said, handling him a garish shirt.
"Okay" Liam answered.
He collected the cloth and went to the fitting room to try the cloth.
Ashley the heiress of Williams corporations approached cynthia. They met at a dinner a few years back while she was working for profit pioneer a financial advisory company.
She helped Ashley secure a deal with them.
"Hii.... it is so lovely to see you here." Ashley said
"Miss william, what brings you here?" Cynthia replied.
"I am about to release a new line of my collection so I am checking around for designs." she responded.
"That's great."
"I saw you came with a friend.” she said
“How do you know that country bumpkin" Ashley asked
"who?"
"Liam Miller, I heard he is engaged to Jessica."
"He is not. He is her personal assistant.”
Ashley saw that Cynthia is oblivious to the fact that they are engaged so she let it slide.
“That pervert works for Jessica?”
"What do you mean by that?" Cynthia's eyes widened.
she had always known something was up with him.
Ashley summarized the encounter she had with him on the plane a week ago.
"He tried to peep at my underwear in the plane under the pretense of picking up his ring."she shared.
"what!!!" she exclaimed.
"I had to take a picture as an evidence” She shows Cynthia the picture she took on the plane.
“Here.” She handed the phone to her.
Cynthia immediately recognized Liam with his dressing. “It is truly him.”
Confirming that he is the one, Cynthia saw this as an opportunity to get Liam fired. She immediately asked for the picture.
“Can I have the picture?” cynthia asked
“What do I get in return?” Ashley demanded.
"What do you need?” she asked her.
“I heard TMO is handpicking new business partners next week.” she said.
“Will Byte should be able to get to the final selection, right?”
“Definitely. “ Cynthia responded quickly.
“Very well.” Ashley handed a VIP card which Cynthia collected Blissfully.
“Will Byte will surely be the final choice.” she assured Ashley, pocketing the card.
“It is settled then.” She gave Cynthia the picture.
“I should get going.” she said
“I will be in touch.’’ Cynthia said as Ashley left the store.
Liam came out of the fitting room showing her the cloth she asked him to try on.
“Take what you need and let us go.” she said without taking a glance at him focused on her phone.
She stood up and walked toward the counter.
Liam took a few clothes and followed her to the counter where she paid and they left the store.
She drove him to the employee lounge.
“This is where you will be staying.” Cynthia said before leading him inside.
She leads him to a shabby, dark basement room in the employee lounge, filled with rats and roaches.
“It was arranged by Miss Matthew.” Cynthia lied, claiming Jessica ordered her to bring him to the room. Liam remained composed, refusing to complain.
“You should settle in before coming to work, take your time.” she said before taking her leave.
After leaving Liam, Cynthia headed to the office to show Jessica the picture Ashley gave to her.
At the office
{knocks on the door}.
“Come in.” Jessica said
Cynthia enters. “Miss matthew. Good afternoon.”
“Afternoon.” She answered without taking her eyes off her laptop.
“Has Mr Miller settled in?” she asked.
“Yes ma, i am here to make a report about him ma.”
“What happened?” she looked up
“Mr Miller has been very unserious and lazy. He comes to work very late.” she reported hoping to get him fired.
Surprisingly, Jessica did not react angrily.
“I will personally monitor Mr Miller's attendance onward, inform the HR.” She said calmly.
Cynthia is left stunned as she expects Jessica to be furious and fire Liam. The Matthews are known for their strictness and hatred for slacking around.
Jessica’s reaction to what Cynthia told her annoyed her, she does not get to come to work late and the newbie can.
In desperation, she played her trump card.
“Anything else?” Jessica asked.“If not, you can take your leave.”
“Miss Matthew, Mr Miller is a pervert.” she blurted out
“What?” Jessica raised an eyebrow.
“He has a record that can tarnish our reputation and besmirch our honor.”
“Don't accuse people falsely cynthia. Do you have any evidence against him?.”
“Yes I do.”
She brought out her phone to show Jessica the picture Ashley gave her.
Suddenly someone knocks on the door.
After ending the calll, Jessica turned back to Cynthia.“What were you saying cynthia?” Jessica asked.“Mr Miller is a pervert and I have evidence to prove it.” she said with a straight face.She showed Jessica the picture she got from Ashley and a fabricated chat picturing him as a pervert.Jessica’s expression turned serious as she saw the picture. “Thank you, i assure you that measures will be taken against it.” she said “Keep the good work up.”“You can leave now.” She dismissed Cynthia.“Yes ma.” she said and left Jessica's office.Although Jessica did not take any immediate action, Cynthia leaves Jessica’s office feeling victorious believing that her plan to get Liam fired finally worked.Jessica looked at the papers Cynthia left on her desk containing a chat log between Liam and an unknown woman and the picture that clearly gives away his face.-Liam after taking care of his room decided to go to the herb market to get herbs to suppress the seal in him. He went to almost a
Liam shocked everyone when he arrogantly rejected Joshua's offer to become his apprentice, and even called Joshua unworthy. Before anyone can react further, Ryan, the chairman of Delvin Hub Martial Club United, collapses, spitting blood and losing consciousness after taking the cure administered by Joshua. “Father!!!..” Heather screamed as she rushed to hold him as he fell. He started spilling blood and lost consciousness.The crowd started murmuring, questioning Joshua’s expertise. “I thought he was the best in town.”........... “Is he dead?” Joshua rushes to check Ryan, he realizes that Liam was right he administered the wrong drug. He stood up to tender a public apology. “I am sorry for the failure of my treatment but his injuries are too severe for me to be able to save him.” He apologizes, admitting that his treatment had failed, and Ryan's injuries were too severe for him to save. “We lost him.” Joshua said. Heather, Ryan's daughter, is distraught, all hope is
As the reporters sighted Jessica and Ashley, they rushed over to them. Suddenly, Liam started coughing violently, spitting black blood.Jessica rushed to hold Liam before he blacked out.“Liam!...!!” she screamed as she rushed to his side. She looked around for Cynthia, she saw her running towards her.“Get the car.” She said to her. Ashley tried to touch Liam.“Get your hands off him.” she said, pulling Liam closer to herself.“Hey, can you hear me?” Jessica said, shaking his body gently.When the car arrived,Jessica’s body guard assisted her in lifting Liam into the car.She took one more glance at Ashley who was glaring at her before she entered the car. The reporters kept taking pictures even after Jessica’s car left. Ashley’s driver arrived and she left angrily.-In the car“Make sure none of those pictures get out.” Jessica told Cynthia. “Yes ma” she replied.Jessica turned her attention to Liam, her brow furrowed with worry as she stared at his pale face.He winces in pain
End of flashbackLiam decided to go to where he saw in his vision, he had a score to settle with the so-called dragon head. He knew he would get his answers there.Just then, two cars stopped beside him. Five huge men came out of the vehicle holding guns and daggersThe man who seemed like their leader did not get down from the car, he was leaning out of the passenger seat lazily.“Liam Miller?” he asked.“Yes, and you are?” Liam asked curiously. Who are these people?He thought to himself.Before the man who looked like the leader could answer, one of his men responded. “This is Theodore of sykeon, can’t you see?” he cried.“So?” Liam replied.“How can you be so disrespectful?”another men exclaimed“Is he someone powerful?” Liam asked again.“I'll knock you senseless!” one of the hooligans said.Liam snorted, how outrageous are these people?“Stop!!” Theodore said, He turned to Liam. “You've got some guts, usually people beg for mercy. If you kneel down and beg me, I might decide to
“Why is he still alive?” Gabriel thought to himself. He looks like a different person entirely, he was not the calm looking nerd guy. Liam without sparing him a glance went into the club.Gabriel knuckles turned white. “Fuck!” he muttered to himself.-Liam made his way to the executive suites, where there were about five guards standing at the door, he figured Asher will be inside. As he got to the door, one guard stopped him.“Stop right there, what are you looking for?”“Asher Miller.” he said bitterly“Name?” The guard asked.“Tell him his brother is here.” Liam said.He glanced at him before entering the suit to inform Asher. When he entered, Asher looked up from the document before him. “What’s wrong?”Asher hates being disturbed when working. He bows, “Dragon lord, someone called Liam Miller is here to see you.”“Liam?” He asked. His expression changed.“You all can't get anything done by yourselves!!, Bunch of fools!” he said, pushing everything on his desk on the floor.“I a
He signaled to everyone to keep quiet. “Miss matthew.”“Where the hell are you!!” Jessica said worriedly.The sect leaders were surprised at his change of tone; he picked one of the keys without checking it.“You left the hospital without receiving proper treatment and you did not go home.” she continued.“I went to the herb store, I am sorry,” he said calmly.“Come to my place immediately!” she said and hung up.Liam left hurriedly.Liam returned to Matthew's villa, when he entered there was no one in the living room so he decided to check Jessica’s office.He passed by her office and noticed a slightly opened door in the hallway.He opened the door and entered and was stunned. Jessica was trying to zip her gown, she looked up, startled, as he approached her."Need some help?" Liam asked.Jessica's cheeks flushed as she nodded, feeling a little embarrassed at being caught in such a vulnerable position. Liam stepped behind her and gently took the zipper, his fingers brushing against
Liam signed the contract.“We will have a mini wedding.” Jessica blurted out as Liam was about to stand up.“What?” surprised, Liam almost fell back to his seat.“My grandfather insisted that a small marriage must be arranged. Just me, you and him.” “Except you have anyone you would like to invite.” she continued.Liam shaked his head before answering, “I don't.” he said curlty.“Any of your parents or grandparents??” she asked her voice showing hint of concern.Liam jaw hardened, “They are all dead.” he said with no expression on his face.“I am sorry.” Jessica said apologetically. He felt a surge of heat rushed through his system again. He did not want jessica to know what was wrong with him, he decided to leave before she noticed.“It’s fine,” he said before standing up.“Miss Matthew, I have to go now.” liam said, he stood up aburtly. As he stood up to leave, a sudden surge of dark energy coursed through his veins, like a whispered warning from the shadows of themselves.“What
Liam woke up to the sound of his phone ringing, Cynthia's voice could be heard on the other end, yelling at him to wake up.“You are always sleeping! What is wrong with you?” cynthia yelled“Are you pregnant?”“Good morning.” Liam said checking the time, it was just six am.“Miss Mathew asked you to meet her at the villa in twenty minutes, it is urgent and important.” she said rudely and hung up.Liam groggily got out of bed and began his morning routine. After a quick bath, he headed to Jessica's villa, wondering what the urgency was about.When he arrived, he found Jessica in the living room with her grandfather. He greeted both of them.“Good morning sir, miss matthew.” liam said“Oh please, call me joseph.” Jessica's grandfather said.“Trust you are good joseph.” he asked “Definitely, if not you would have seen me at your doorstep.” he said and they all laughed.“Please sit.” Jessica said.“Your secretary called me this morning to ask for me.” Liam said.“Yes I did, we need to
