Tyler hissed a thousand times before he started the car and drove out of the place. He was so pissed that if those men who lied to him were close by, he'd have strangled one of them to ease the anger. Meanwhile, Liam got back to meet with his friend who was sipping a drink. He pretended like nothing happened. However, Kent was confused.He could see the delightful look on Liam's face and wondered what must have transpired outside. Liam, who ran after Tyler in a very bad mood, came back in a high spirit. He was even smiling broadly and humming when he walked up to Kent.“What's going on, Liam? You look cheerful and different from the person who walked out that door a few minutes ago." Kent said as he passed over Liam's bottle of drink to him.Liam took the beer, opened it and poured some on the glass for himself.“I just gave him a piece of my mind. That's all." Liam replied and began to gulp down his drink. He was so happy that he drank a few more bottles before the questioning gaze
Liam hurried to the bathroom and quickly took a cold shower and brushed his teeth as well. When he came back to the room, Miranda was not yet back from where she went. He was not aware that she was fixing dinner for him. Liam quickly slipped into his pajamas and hurried out of the room. He got to the kitchen and found his wife there. She had reserved some pasta and kept it in the freezer.It was as though she knew that Liam would not eat dinner before coming home.While Miranda was busy heating up the food, she didn't notice Liam coming from behind.At first, Liam wanted to sneak in on her and hold her by the waist. But on second thought, he decided against it.The idea sounded creepy and he didn't know how Miranda would react when he did it. “What are you doing?" Liam asked his wife who turned to stare at him briefly.“I'm fixing dinner for you."She took out the food which was ready and dished it out on a plate. Before she served Liam, she gave him some ginger tea to help with th
The next morning at the Westons' villa, Piper was restless. She was so elated to hear that Lady Mary was considering her for the project, even though it was Miranda who brought the deal for them. However, something else was causing her restlessness. “Lady Mary, do you think it's a good idea to invite Mr. Sawyer for the celebration? Don't you think he'd be unhappy that the project won't be handled by Mira?”As they sat for breakfast, Piper expressed her worry and got the old lady laughing.“You worry too much. I don't think he'd care about who is made to lead the project. All that matters is that we do an excellent job, which I know that you'd do."Lady Mary took a sip from her coffee and continued. “Miranda is welcome to assist you. That's if she wants.”“I don't want her assistant. She pisses me off. Moreover, I already have my team waiting to commence work." Piper retorted."Miranda is just so dumb.” Allison added. She still remembered her disagreement with Miranda the previous day
The occupants rolled down the glass window and he saw Kimberly and her husband, Bernard.Kimberly wanted to visit Miranda in her eatery so Bernard decided to drop her off before going to work.“Oh, Liam, my co-in-law. We met again today. You see, I would have dropped you off at wherever you're going but…” Bernard glanced at his wife and they began to laugh.Turning back to face Liam. He shook his head several times.“Well, as you know. I'd rather carry a dog in my car than to carry you in this precious car."Kimberly began to laugh again. After they had laughed at Liam to scorn, she tilted over and kissed her husband before saying to him.“Honey, you have to start going to work now. Don't waste your precious time talking to nobody, It's not worth your time. I'll go ahead now.”Kimberly alighted from the car and bid her husband farewell.“Just meet me up at the villa tonight, ok? After the celebration, we'll go home together.”"Alright, my love." Bernard replied and started his car and
Liam gaped at the man before him and asked. "Really?”"Yes, Sir.” Sean nodded at him. "He's outside and insisting to see you, Mr. Liam.”Liam was dumbfounded. He had just finished conversing with his father and the conversation was about his uncle. Now his uncle was in his company looking for him.What does David Sawyer want from him and why was he here?Liam was restless in his mind and didn't know what to do. No matter what, David was still family. However, a family who does not mean well for his father and himself was not welcome into his life. Sean was still standing before him and waiting for an instruction.“Should I let him in or send him away?"“Send him away." Liam instructed without mincing words. His father has warned him not to let David Sawyer come any closer. He was a manipulative person.“Yes, Sir." Sean replied and began to walk away to deliver the message.Liam stopped working and thought of his uncle, David Sawyer. They haven't seen each other in a very long time. T
Kimberly felt insulted by her sister's utterance and glared at her.“What's that supposed to mean? Are you calling me a jobless person." "No, it's just a joke. Can't I joke with my only sister?” Miranda laughed and reached out to pat Kimberly who was still glaring at her."Well, that doesn't sound like a joke. It sounded like an insult.” Kimberly snapped and Miranda decided to soothe her anger."I'm sorry. Don't get so angry, it was just a harmless joke. I'll be right back.”Before Kimberly could say anything else, Miranda had hurried back to work. “I don't blame you." Kimberly muttered to herself. “It's because I brought myself to this place you call an eatery. If you weren't my sister, I'd not care about you nor who you got married to.”No matter what a horrible person Kimberly was, she still loved her sister dearly and wanted the best for her.More than anyone, Kimberly wanted her sister to get rid of Liam and give a chance to Tyler. Unfortunately, Miranda was too stubborn and de
Kimberly only let out a chuckle and pursed her lips. There was nothing she could do about the situation. She could not go against Lady Mary for her sister's sake.“Well, you already know the answer to that question." Miranda finally replied. The sisters chatted for a while before Kimberly stood up to leave. Since she didn't come with her own car, she had to board a cab.Well, she rarely drove her car around because her husband preferred to drive her. Anytime he was too busy for that, he'd instruct the driver to drive her to wherever she wanted to go. As soon as Kimberly got to her parents' apartment, they welcomed her properly.Patricia even offered to make some food for her but she declined. Being the favorite daughter who was married to a rich guy, Patricia was always willing to go to any length just to please Kimberly.Kimberly, on the other hand, always brings home some goodies each time she comes around.After putting away the fruits and the nutritional supplements her daughte
With a smile on his face, Mark pulled her out and replied in a serious face. “Of course, I'm going to do just what you want because you're so precious to me."Mark helped her sit down and sat back on the table.“Now tell me what troubles you? Why are you not at work today?"Jane tilted her head and replied. “I've been sacked."***Meanwhile, Miranda decided to call her friends after her sister left the eatery. She wanted to invite them for the celebration at the villa that night.She didn't want them to hear the news somewhere else and get angry at her.She had taken out her phone to call Hailey. However, she was interrupted by the sight of someone who walked into the eatery.It was Tyler.Miranda, who was over the counter, decided to send one of her girls out to attend to Tyler.“Nikita, please attend to the young man who just walked in."“Yes, Ma'am."Without another word, the young lady set out to attend to Tyler.“Go back and call your Boss for me. It's only her who can attend to
“I can't believe that you just said all that, Dad." Miranda voiced out in confrontation as she glared at her father, still shaking her head.“We both know that you've never done anything to stand up for me before. This isn't the first time they're treating me badly but you never get to do anything." Eric turned to stare at his daughter before replying.“You're my daughter and there's no way I'll let anyone treat you badly.”“It's just that you only listened to Liam and decided to go against your family. Why do you have to steal the contract that belonged to the family company?" With her mouth open Miranda gaped at her father and turned to look at Liam.Her father's words were nothing to write home about. How can such a man be her father when he doesn't even see that she was being treated unjustly by her own family. The family of her uncle.Eric's words sounded like he was supporting his brother and the family. That was really unfair.“Are you really my Dad?” Miranda questioned when
"Don't listen to them. Now that I'm here, they can't do anything to you anymore.” Liam assured her while tucking some of hair behind her ears.As the couple stood there conversing, they pretended not to notice the people glaring at them.Piper, Allison and their parents were visibly fuming at that moment.“Liam, are you deaf? I said you should get the hell out of this place." Lady Mary barked at him.“Yeah, you heard lady Mary. Leave this place immediately." Piper added.“Ofcourse, I'm leaving with my wife. Moreover, who wants to stay in such a place that only gives off negative energies." Liam left them dumbfounded with his response. He scrutinized everyone and turned to his wife.“Come on, Mira. Let's get out of here." With her left hand tucked into his arm, Liam led the way as they started towards the door.As the couple walked out of the place, Piper and her family were completely speechless.While they were headed to the door, they heard fast footsteps behind them. Before they
Miranda would be going to the Villa to see the Old Lady and he needed to be by her side, supporting her and preventing her from being bullied.Swiftly, he commanded the driver. “Take me out of here, immediately." Liam dialed Miranda's number and it kept ringing without being answered.At that moment, he believed that Miranda was already at the Villa.“Hurry up and drive me out of here." When Liam left the place, Neo was still lying on the ground. For a while, he remained at the place and could not move.Neo was still trying to comprehend what just happened.Liam beat him up like a child and he could not fight back.He couldn't even lay a hand on Liam throughout the fight. It was just like Liam was invincible.His thoughts kept drifting away in search of the solution to his current predicament. What was he going to do with Liam? And who was Liam, anyway? The man who just beat him up and walked away freely.He even has some men with him who looked like they were taking orders from h
Neo was no longer taking the kidnap seriously because he saw Liam. He believed that everything was a joke.With his hands on his waist, Neo stood face to face with Liam and began to laugh.“Wow, Liam. I'm really happy for you at your new job. You didn't tell me that you joined a circus." “Seriously, I must commend you on this new feat." Neo ran his eyes around all of them at the place. He returned his gaze back to Liam and continued to tease him.“This costume you got is really dope. It looks so different from the regular circus costumes." “Tell me Liam, what is the name of your group and what do you guys do?" Liam remained silent and only watched Neo continue to make a fool of himself.He then turned around and glanced at his guards before turning his face to meet with Neo's gaze.When he saw that no one was saying anything, he kept a serious expression and inquired.“So tell me, Liam. Why have you brought me here? Is there something you want from me.”"Yes, I want something from
Everyone in the car got ready for the action ahead. They were waiting for Neo's car to drive by.Neo, on the other hand, had no idea that he was being targeted.As usual, Neo got into his car and was about to start it. Unfortunately, he did not inspect the car before getting into it.Well, that has never crossed his mind before because he felt he had nothing to fear.As soon as he was about to start the car, he noticed that someone was in the back seat. The man was wearing all black clothes and also had a mask on.He pointed a gun at Neo and he was about to yell but was shut up.“If you shout and draw attention here, I'll blow your brains off. Think about it before making your next decision." The man threatened him in a very serious voice and Neo saw that he meant business.He was so in trouble. Who could have sent someone after him?As Neo's thought about the situation, he could not place his hands on anyone who he had offended.Carefully, he tried to reach for his phone while askin
For a moment, Liam said nothing. He was thinking about what his wife just said.It was a ploy and he was sure of that. They might try to get her to transfer the project funds to them.Moreover, she was only one person and they were more than one.What if they convince her and were able to change her mind.Liam was the only one standing by Miranda's side. Even her parents could not do anything for her.They were like Lady Mary's puppets, doing what she told them to do.Liam reached out and took Miranda's hand, locking their hands.“Don't worry, they won't be able to do anything to you. No matter how hard they try, they'll never succeed." Liam assured her and she nodded her head.She was grateful for having someone like Liam in her life.“Just let me know when you'll be going over to the Villa.”"I will.”Miranda's intention was to go over later in the evening.After they were done at the place, everyone dispersed except the couple.Liam had spoken with Bruce the previous night and he h
If Lady Mary does pick Miranda's call, they'd be busted. Miranda would find out about their lies.The Old Lady was never sick. The sisters had to make the story up at that time.They wanted to get Miranda to come over to the Westons' Villa.If she comes, it would be easier for them to convince her to hand over the project to Top Notch.When the phone rang many times and no one picked, Miranda stopped calling and glared at her cousins before commenting.“She didn't pick the call, I might go and see her later." Miranda was left with no other choice but to agree to go and see Lady Mary.Piper and Allison sighed in relief when they heard the words.“You two can go now, I don't have any business with you anymore.”Although the girls were angry at Miranda's insolence, they were able to pull themselves together and made their way to the car.They kept cursing her in their minds and wished that those guards didn't show up.Piper and Allison would have pounced on her with the anger that was i
“Alright, we'll talk soon." Liam replied back at him and patted his back.“You can go now." While Sean drove off, Liam went back to join the others. They took time going through each of the buildings that it was almost lunch time and they were not yet done.Liam went closer and whispered to Miranda. “It's almost lunch time, let me go and get something for us to eat.”"Why don't you wait so we can go together?” Miranda suggested but Liam insisted.“Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. I'll also buy something for everyone so don't worry about them.”Liam began to walk out of the place but Miranda called him back. She opened her bag and took out some money.“Here, buy lunch with this. I'm sure you don't have enough money to buy for everyone, so use this." Liam stared at her for a while and shook his head. “You don't have to worry about the money. It's just lunch for a few people's mouth and I can afford it." When Miranda tried to insist, Liam told her not to worry and began t
"What? How is that possible?” Miranda could not believe her ears nor her eyes.How could Mr Sawyer just give her a Van when she was just doing her job. All he owed her was to provide the funds for the project.How come he was giving her company a Van?“He noticed that you didn't have a car so he felt it was necessary to get one for you. At least, for the cause of this project." Miranda would not have believed everything that was happening if she hadn't gotten the funds.She would have thought that everything was all a dream.About 80 percent of the funds have been transferred to her so she'd be starting the project immediately.Without another word, Miranda covered her mouth and walked over to inspect the Van.It was a new one, big enough to contain all of them.“Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!" As she inspected it, she could not stop expressing her shock.Lifting her face, she glanced at her employees who were still standing at the place waiting for her orders.“Mr Sawyer got us a Van, go ahead
