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
When Hailey left Miranda at the place, she quickly left the villa and went to board a cab.Inside the cab, she was lost in her thoughts and didn't notice a car pass by. The car belonged to Sean and he soon got into the Westons' villa.Sean got into the place and saw Piper addressing everyone. Once Piper saw him, she called to his attention and Sean went to meet them at the stage.Meanwhile, Liam alighted from a cab and made his way into the villa in his usual simple dressing. However, the security men stopped him.“I'm sorry Sir, Lady Mary has asked us not to let you in." One of the guards said to him.Liam let out a dry chuckle. Indeed, he had been told not to show up at the villa. However, he didn't expect such prevention measures to be taken because of him.Everyone else was allowed and not him.“Lady Mary asked you to keep me away from the villa." Liam repeated the words and the men nodded.“That's right." “But this is the family home of my wife. Why am I not allowed to go in? M
After Sean said all he had to say, he dropped the microphone and began to walk away from the villa. However, Piper ran after him.“Mr. Sean. What happened? I can't comprehend anything that you just said." Everyone else who had just listened to Sean turned to his direction as Piper approached him."I don't understand, Sir. Why did you say all that?” Piper asked, confusion evident on her face.Allison and her parents soon approached them at the place. They were perplexed and wondered what Sean meant by what he just announced before everyone.Top Notch interiors were not honest so LR will no longer do business with them. What does that even mean?I'm what ways have they been dishonest?Piper turned her face and glanced at her family before asking Sean.“And how do you mean that Mr. Sawyer was not allowed into this place? How's that even possible?" Sean let out a dry chuckle before replying to the confused people."We gave that contract to Top Notch interiors because we believed that Mi
Before Tyler could get into his car, Hailey showed up before him, startling him.“What the hell? You just startled me, Hailey. And what are you doing here?" "I'm sorry about that.” Hailey apologized with one of her hands raised.Tyler let out a deep sigh and glared at her before asking. "What is it?”He had noticed how Hailey always looked at him each time they saw each other. He knew that Hailey wanted to be in Miranda's shoes.She wanted to be romantically entangled with him. However, he didn't want her. It was Miranda that he wanted.Tyler believes that Hailey and Jane are wild and are not good enough to be friends with Miranda. He believed that Miranda was so innocent while Hailey and Jane must have slept with a lot of men to get what they wanted.“I…um, uh… I heard everything.” Hailey stuttered but Tyler's eyes had not left her face in a dirty look.“I don't understand." He uttered coldly and Hailey had to explain.“I heard all your conversation with Piper and the guards. Do you
“You are the one who would be handling the project. Nobody else will take it away from you." “No matter what they try, they won't succeed." Liam knew exactly how it feels to be treated badly. He had been there before when he was working as a manager at Aura cosmetics. He was still receiving a lot of unkind treatment from everyone around him, except those who had already learned his real identity.His parents in-laws and sister in-law were the worst set of people.“How can you be so sure?" Miranda inquired. She was wondering why Liam sounded so confident and sure.It was as though he was Mr. Sawyer himself, assuring her that he was in charge.Miranda was yet to find out the real identity of her husband.“I just know in my heart that you'd be the one to handle the project because you deserve it. You worked hard for it, didn't you?" Miranda said nothing afterwards. She made her way to the door to open it but her phone began to ring.When she saw that the caller was Sean, she swiftly p
“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
