“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
Hailey was not convinced by her friend's response. She did not believe that Jane knew nothing.“Why is it so hard for me to believe you?" Hailey furrowed her brows and went closer to her friend, staring directly at her eyes.“You are lying to me. Now tell me the truth." Jane looked away and bit her lips. More than anything, she wants to reveal what she knows about Liam to her friend. However, she was scared of what Liam would do to her.He had threatened to destroy her career, and the other night at the park, he gave her a reminder.“I'm telling you the truth. I don't know what you're talking about. You're just overthinking it." Jane turned back to face her friend before replying. “Look, Hailey, go home and rest. You should stop bothering yourself about this. I think it's just a coincidence." “No." Hailey refused to believe that Liam and Sean's meeting at the bar was a coincidence.She had met Liam with Sean at that bar the last time. Now she had learned of Sean's identity as the
"Well, what can we do? We'll just watch and see how things unfold between them. Moreover, that Tyler guy is so full of himself." Hailey could not help but admit that she wanted Tyler to suffer the same fate as them.Since Tyler had chosen to go after a married woman and refused to look at her, she'd be happy if Liam dealt with him as well.“Yeah, that's exactly what we'll do. Let's just watch how things unfold. However, we must keep our distance.”“Liam is powerful indeed." Jane added.As the girls chatted away, Hailey decided to sleep over at Jane's place.***The next morning at ‘Eat healthy diner’, Miranda was busy with her girls. Since it was the morning rush, they were attending to the customers who work in a construction company closeby.Unlike LR real estate company and some other companies which were closed on a Saturday, some were open during the weekend.Miranda was also open during the weekend. The only time her diner was closed was on Sundays.While she was busy attending
After a moment of silence, she smiled and nodded continuously. “Yes, I'll do just as you've said. Thank you so much for this opportunity you've given to me." Sean nodded and quickly stood up from his seat. Stretching out his right hand, he shook hands with Miranda, a small smile plastered on his face.“You're welcome, Miss Miranda. LR will soon get back to you. Bye for now.”With that, Sean began to leave the place while Miranda saw him off.The duo bumped into Piper outside and Miranda pretended not to notice her."Thank you so much, Sir. And do have a lovely day ahead.”While Miranda bid Sean farewell, Piper stood at a spot gaping at her.She was confused. What business does Sean have with Miranda? He even came over to her eatery to have a discussion.As she stood at a spot, a lot of thoughts kept running through her mind.Was Miranda and Sean seeing each other? Maybe that's the reason he keeps favoring her.But Sean was merely an employee at LR. He doesn't have the right to make
Turning to Piper, he said to her. “Look, you have to leave this place immediately. You're creating a scene here. This is a restaurant area and I don't want Miranda's customers to have a bad impression about this place." “I don't care what her customers think. Did you not see how she slapped me? Someone who's my younger sister had the nerve to slap me." Piper was still so furious. She didn't get the chance to slap Miranda back.In fact, if Liam didn't come there in time, she would have torn Miranda into tiny shreds.How dare she slap her?“Can you blame her for slapping you? You provoked her, that was the reason for the slap." "In fact, you deserve to be arrested for laying such accusations against her and Mr Sawyer.” Liam continued but Piper rolled her eyes at him."Move.” She yelled at Liam. "My business is not with you because you know nothing about making money. My business is only with that bitch.”"You are the bitch, not me.” Miranda fired back from where she stood. Her words
Miranda casted him an unsuspecting glance and nodded her head. "Sure.” She muttered. However, Liam didn't hear her because he was already on his way outside the restaurant."Hi, Sean. You would have implicated me just now.”"I'm so sorry about that, Sir. It was not my intention.” Sean replied innocently.“I called you to inform you that your wife has agreed to start up her own firm. At first, she was thinking that there was an ulterior motive behind everything but I had to convince her otherwise.”"Ok, that's good. In fact, we are together now and were having the discussion when you called.”"Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting you guys.” Sean apologized genuinely. "It's fine. Wait for my call later.” Liam replied and ended the call.He sighed deeply and went back inside the eatery. However, his wife was no longer sitting on her chair. Miranda has gone behind the cash register. She was going through the sales."Oh, we'll talk later then. I have to head out right now.” Liam said to her and
Liam was going to visit his father while Sean wanted to take his family to the zoo.“Alright then, let's head out together.”The two men made their way to the elevator together.As soon as they came down from the elevator, Liam said to Sean with his hands stretched. “Thank you once again." While they shook their hands, Liam heard footsteps and turned around to see Jane in the company of a man."You can go ahead now, I'll see you on Monday." Following the direction of Liam's gaze, Sean saw the lady as well and turned back to Liam with a smile."Of course, I'll go ahead right now." Sean began to leave the place while Liam directed his gaze at Jane once again.The latter was no longer comfortable at the sight of Liam.As she strolled out of the place with her right hand locked with the man's hand, Jane became very conscious of her environment.She'd often steal a glance at Liam while pretending to be listening to her partner's conversation.When the man noticed her discomfort, he paus
When Liam came down from the car, he went to hail a cab that will take him to his father's villa. He just wanted to see his old man and find out how he's fairing.Liam hasn't called him yet to inform him. It was going to be a surprise visit.When he alighted before their villa, his eyes scanned the place and he smiled in satisfaction. Everywhere looked just like he remembered from many years ago.When Liam got to the gate, the security stopped him. He was new and didn't know who Liam was.“How can I help you, Sir?" The man asked politely and Liam smiled at him.“Well, this is my home. I came to see my father." The guard was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and stared continuously at Liam before asking.“I don't understand. If this place is your home, how come I haven't been seeing you around?" “That's none of your business." Liam replied immediately and got the man more stunned.He scrutinized Liam again before saying to him. "I'm sorry, Sir. I have to get confirmation from my boss
