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
As soon as Tyler left, Miranda continued with what she was about to do.She wanted to call Hailey and Jane but had to wait and attend to Tyler. As soon as she dialed Hailey's number, she picked up immediately.“Hi, Hailey."“Hi." Hailey's voice was sad. After the deal with Aura cosmetics was canceled, Hailey had been struggling to get good deals. Unfortunately, all she could get was minor ones.She believed that she had passed the level of such a petty deal. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to take the one she got. If not, she might go completely broke.She could not afford to claim to be a model and to be broke at the same time. It was going to be so bad. “Why did you call?" Hailey asked but got no response for her question. Instead, Miranda became worried for her.“Are you ok? You don't sound like someone who's fine. Tell me, are you sick? If you are then you should see a doctor." "I'm fine.” Hailey almost yelled at her. She was sounding too inquisitive and asked too many que
Stunned, Jane gaped at the man who had just yelled at him. The man who had promised everything to him.It was not like he hadn't been in between her laps. “Come on Mark, stop acting like we've never made love before. You've been in here many times and…”"I said, get lost from here, don't come back. I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again.”“But…” Jane wanted to go closer to him.“Are you dumb? Or do you want security to force you out of here?" Mark yelled, causing her to pause in her steps.Without another word, Jane turned around and started towards the door in a dejected state.She could not explain what had just happened.Mark had promised to always have her back. Why was he acting up.As soon as Jane got out of the office, Mark called security and asked them not to let Jane into his company again. The Liam guy she mentioned must be a very powerful man. He'd surely find out who he was.***At LR real estate company, Liam was still in his office but was about to le
While Liam was lost in his thoughts, Miranda came forward with his food and placed the tray before him.He was jolted out of his thoughts and lifted his head to glance at her with a smile on his face.Miranda had no idea what he was planning for her. “Why are you staring at me like that? It's not like you're seeing me for the first time.” Miranda joked and they all laughed about it.“Well, your husband here has been saying a lot about you.” Kent said amidst mouthful of food "Since you're also very good at interior designing, I'd suggest that you start up your own firm. I can assure you that you'll grow in time and I also promise to always refer people to your firm.”Miranda stood speechless at a spot as she gaped at the men."I um… I can't do that right now." Miranda stammered."Come and sit down, honey.” Liam pointed to the chair closer to him.Once Miranda was settled down on the seat, she continued with what she was saying.“You see, Kent. My family is already in the business of
"Why?” Hailey was shocked to hear such a response from Jane."Did Mira offend you so much that you no longer want any close association with her?”“Just give back my drink. I don't want to talk about Mira or anyone who's affiliated to her.”Jane reached out to collect her drink but Hailey refused to give her back.“No, I'm not giving you this drink." Since Jane was not in the mood to tell her anything, Hailey decided to take her home.She quickly paid the bills and dragged Jane out of the place. “Come on, let's get you home. Maybe you'd be better after you take some rest or even a nap." “I don't want to go home. I want to drink some more." Jane insisted but her friend was not listening to her.“I'm taking you home and there's nothing you can do about that." Hailey dragged her friend out of the place and drove her home.Later that evening at the Westons' family villa. The stage had been set and most of the invited guests were all seated. Although, some were still coming.They were w
