Chapter 14: Easy Way To Shut And Scare

It was a good thing that he had closed the blinds on the side where Lana could see him getting out from his private room. The woman would definitely make a fuss if she saw him going out from a room adjacent to her without her knowing about its existence and also not knowing about the presence of the glass wall.

After a while he saw Lana come out of the room to approach him.

"Jorge said you wanted to talk to me about my weekend schedule?" Lana asked directly.

Liam gritted his teeth and cursed Jorge in his mind because he tasked him to tell it to Lana instead.

Liam signaled Lana to sit on the couch and he also sat down opposite her.

"This coming weekend my father wanted to invite you to our home. He wants to meet you. He's been dying to meet you ever since he saw that trending video of the kissing incident online. I believe about meeting my father and family, it's written clearly in the papers that I gave you." Liam started, looking at Lana directly but cursed when his eyes dropped down and froze on her lips…

He quickly blinked and grabbed his mobile phone to look at it instead.

"Hmm, I see… I don't have any plans this weekend except on visiting my mom. Tell me the time and place so I can adjust what time I could visit my mom." Lana casually answered.

"It's for dinner. I will pick you up because my father will get suspicious if you go there on your own…" Liam explained. Lana nodded and stood up.

"If that's all then I'll go now… I have to finish my report," Lana said while looking at Liam's wall clock.

Lana paused and turned.

"What? I'm not following you for sniffing the scent again!" Liam blurted out that made Lana crease her forehead and muttered, "You're so defensive. I just wanted to ask you something about that dinner."

"What?" Liam murmured as he stood up to walk towards his desk to go and sit on his chair instead. He was cursing himself for such an impulsive and embarrassing response.

"Do we need to act sweet to each other like other couples? Because I suck on it…" Lana casually said.

"You definitely do not suck at kissing but…" Liam unknowingly muttered.

"Oh yeah, that is because you're the one who sucked my lips like a hungry wolf?" Lana answered back.

Liam's eyes squinted. 'How come this woman never runs out of counter answers?' he irritably mused.

Liam was about to throw his attack again on her when his intercom buzzed and Mian spoke from the other side, "Sir Miss Tang is here."

"Hmm, I will leave now it seems you'll be busy in an important meeting," Lana muttered feeling achieved knowing she had the last words, slamming Liam on his face.

"Grab your notebook and pen and come here now." Liam instructed with a straight face. Lana, though surprised, quickly followed. When she was back Liam called Mian on the telephone, "Let her in."

"Liam…" The woman cheerfully greeted Liam.

Liam nodded and said, "Please come. This is my trainee, Miss Huang." Liam introduced and Lana extended her hand that the woman accepted.

"Please have a seat Miss Tang." Liam said signalling towards the couch opposite him. He looked at Lana and signalled her to sit beside him.

Mian asked Miss Tang what she would like to drink and the woman asked for coffee.

Excitement built up in Lana's mind as she thought, 'Wow! Interview with a client.'

"Hmm, I thought I will be meeting you alone, only me and you!" Lana heard Miss Tang say in a coquettish voice who seemed to be obviously flirting with big blinking eyes directed at Liam.

Lana had heard about Miss Tang's case. She was suing a tv network for slander and looking at the scene in front of her, Lana knew why she wanted Liam to be her attorney.

'Meeting alone…' Lana mused because the woman was too obvious with her words.

'Any normal person would have loved to spend that 'alone time' with such a beautiful woman for sure but she forgot she's right now talking to Liam Sy. She had better checked his reputation before flirting with that stone.' Lana sympathized with the celebrity.

"I'm afraid I don't have the luxury to meet a client alone or my dear trainee here would not spare a minute in peeling me alive…" Liam jested.

'That's not funny at all…' Lana thought as she got what Liam was implying. He was starting to use her to shoo away the flirtatious client.

'Act as his girlfriend in front of anyone should the need arise.' Lana arched her brow and gave her poker face look at Miss Tang who looked at her from head to toe, as if trying to find out who was better among them.

"I shall recommend your case to a more suitable lawyer from our firm who's an expert in handling such cases," Liam politely suggested as he called out for Jorge.

"My assistant Jorge here will escort you and introduce you, Miss Tang to Atty. Daryl Cha. He will surely win your case…" Liam added when Jorge entered.

"What was the use of my notebook and pen?" Lana mumbled as soon as Miss Tang left with Jorge.

Liam quietly chuckled but said in a serious tone, "I usually turn down clients that I feel are like…"

He couldn't find the right words.

"Flirty with you? Yeah I noticed." Lana commented and stood up from her chair. She almost forgot, Liam probably hated women like how she hated men. 'But Liam likes men…' Lana mused and unconsciously giggled.

Liam stood up and slowly walked closer to her. "What's funny?" He asked with knitted brows.

"Oh I just thought for someone like you who doesn't prefer a woman… I was wondering… How would it have felt to be kissed by me that day?" Lana candidly asked.

Liam's brow arched listening to her words and he squinted his eyes as he walked closer to Lana, so close that he could smell her pleasing scent…

"I forgot about it… How about you help me recall that feeling?" Liam murmured, catching Lana off guard.

For some reason, her heart started to palpitate and she felt a weird kind of uneasiness in herself.

She didn't know what he was up to but she absolutely did not like how her heart began to beat faster like it was suddenly in a race.

Lana found herself fixed to the ground. She couldn't move her legs at all. She only blinked her wide opened eyes and stared at him in disbelief as he approached her further.

Liam moved closer until there was only an inch gap remaining between their lips. He enjoyed her freaked out expressions.

He leaned towards her ear, inhaling her smell, he softly whispered, "Go back to your room little trainee and finish the reports instead of wondering how I felt being kissed by you or else I will have to recall if you still insist on wonde…"

Lana immediately scurried away to her room and did not even bother to let Liam finish his words.

"Huh... so there's an easy way to shut and scare this proud tigress," Liam snorted with a smirk as he went back to his seat.
