Chapter 23: THE NEGOTIATIONS (4)

"I see you have a deal to discuss with me Mr Liam, please go ahead." Alicia looked at the man in front of her who had an unusual smile on his face and continued with, "This looks like its going to be interesting."

Liam smile at the woman in front of him and answered with, "Your brother somehow wishes to keep you safe from someone which I do not know of, yet he keeps you distracted by making you keep guard of yourself with men who can challenge you, am I right miss Adams?"

Alicia smiled lightly from his words and nodded, "He believes that this could be his way to force me out of the company I own."

"I wonder why?" said Liam as he stood up from his seat and walked towards Alicia as he continued with, "How about I help you keep away the suitors for a few months? But of course, everything comes with a catch."

Alicia laughed a little and swerved her chair to face the man who was now standing behind her with a smile and answered him with, "I wouldn't have pegged you for such a fair man Mr Walker."

Liam glared at Alicia after the words she uttered, before he could retaliate Alicia continued with, "What did you have in mind little Liam?"

Liam raised his brow at her and took both the woman's hands and said, "I want the McMillan deal."

Alicia simply watched Liam as if she were amused by his words and simply answered Liam with, "I myself still do not understand how I was given the deal. But if you can be able to convince Noah McMillan to give you the deal, you would be relieving me of the travel to Paris."

Liam gave Alicia a questionable look after her words and said nothing else. That was when Alicia took the chance to say, "Although I agree to you repelling my suitors, there is one thing I must make very clear Mr Adams. You are never EVER, under any circumstances to make my mother any promises of marrying me. I despise the mere idea of marriage. Do we have a deal Mr Walker?"

Liam smiled light and nodded at her as a way of agreeing to her words. "You seem to have a deep rooted grievance towards marriage miss Adams, I wonder why?" Alicia simply smiled at his question, not giving any form of answer.

Liam then said, "You have not answered me Miss Adams, have you perhaps married in the past?" Alicia took her hands out from Liam's hold and smiled at his question while giving him a questionable gaze and said, "I wonder why Mr Liam Walker suddenly wants to know of my marital status. Are you perhaps trying to bind me with such a status?"

Liam simply turned away from the woman and took a seat back on his chair and said, "You have an interesting tongue miss Adams, I hope we have an interesting time together for the next few months. I have heard a lot about you in Paris, you seem to have made quite the reputation for yourself haven't you."

Alicia smiled at his words and said nothing.
