Chapter 175: Lana Just Beat Him Up With That Title

Lana could see Gracy's wicked expressions behind her fake smile as she continued, "I'm glad that things will be easier for you and I want to congratulate you in advance for being appointed as the favourite lawyer under his wings.

Liam is in fact a tough man to please, but I guess you have your own ways of making him relent to you. I must say that you're really good at it… seeing how you get Liam's favor compared to other interns."

Gracy mentioned all of it with her sweet voice in a bit louder tone, not caring that others heard them clear and sound. Lana could hear the people whispering. Gracy's words that sounded simple and had ulterior meanings…

Lana sighed and calmly said, "Is that all? After planning to lock me in that elevator? Maybe I should press criminal charges against you instead since I'm the victim, but then I think Liam took care of everything already since he wouldn't want a very important woman in her life getting hurt by some crazy looser."

Lana turned around. Gracy watched her leave, then kept her head high as she left next. She smiled, hearing the whispering around, bashing Lana's lowly ways of grabbing her position in the company.

'Let's see if you can make your own name?in this company without Liam's shadows!' she triumphantly mused.

She was on her way out to the parking when Liam's car stopped. Liam stepped out from the backseat and ignored her like he did not know her at all.

"This is the biggest mistake you made in your life, Liam." she whispered as Liam passed her side.

Liam paused, and without looking at her said, "Don't show your face near me again, Gracy, not even in front of any of my family members. I hope not to cross paths again with you because next time you do anything to any of my family members. I will no longer show you mercy..."

Meanwhile, the virus Gracy had created before leaving the Sy Building circulated like a plaque inside the company that very instant. Lana became the most trending topic and her relationship with Liam was being judged by all now. Some brushed it off, but many as expected judged Lana without prejudice, most especially the interns.

"Are you sure about that?" Lily asked and Chelsy nodded.

"Yes, no wonder she seems to receive special treatment as always. Besides, she's the only one who can go to the CEO Chairman's floor! Imagine I even used to feel pity for her since she was assigned there. But I guess she used her beauty to her advantage. She surely would land into an excellent position here at Sy Law firm as soon as she got her license." Chelsy added with a sour face.

"No wonder Lana did not join us at lunch as well. I wonder what all could they be doing inside the office… The Boss and the intern scandal…" One of the male interns whispered sarcastically that made everyone laugh.

Steven was quietly listening to all those various opinions. He wondered how Lana would handle the backlash because based on what he was hearing… she would never build a name without Liam's name attached with hers. The way he saw it, people inside Sy Law firm would never see her as a lawyer, but Liam's woman only.

Lana on the side note had no idea about how Gracy's words exploded like a bomb on all the floors of the Sy building except at the CEO's floor. She was back inside her room and looked at the wall clock with a crumpled face. It was almost lunch, but Liam was still not in the office.

Her heart leaped seeing Liam entered the room from her transparent door. 'Finally he's back.' she mused happily.

"Oh my God…" she whispered, realizing how she was expecting to see Liam. She missed him. She was longing to see his face and feel his presence near her.

'Is he ignoring me now?' she mused because Liam did not even bother to look into her direction like he usually did.

Liam entered his office but intentionally avoided Lana's direction. He wanted to teach her a lesson because of what happened that night.

He was not against her being an alpha female over him, but he felt really not good about how she negotiated with him while making love. Saying those absurd things like not getting too emotional! Really so heartless.

People called him heartless, but Lana just beat him up with that title.

'I will control myself from touching you no matter what!' he mused as he walked directly to his seat. He called for Jorge, who came inside his office and gave him some reports.

"Gracy has already left the office. She signed and sealed the documents already… But she left a fire to make a lot of smoke…" Jorge reported and gave Lana's area a quick glance.

"What do you mean?" Liam asked with knitted brows.

"There's this rumor circulating around that Lana and you are in a relationship." Jorge informed him and Liam answered with a shrug and muttered, "So? It's true anyway. On the contrary, I???m pleased with Gracy for doing that…"

"Well, yeah, I think it's an advantage for you since you want an open relationship with Lana. But this will surely make Lana not choose our company after her internship…" Jorge reminded, wondering what was going inside Liam's head with those casual and blank expressions of his.

He did not even sneak a glance at Lana's area, which he often did. He smelled something off.

"Did you two have this lover's quarrel?"

"Go back to work, Jorge," Liam answered with pursed lips.

Jorge scratched his head and left, only to halt at the door and turn around.

"I ordered lunch. It will arrive soon. Tell Lana it's her favorite."

Liam's brows raised. "Tell her that yourself." he muttered, with eyes still on his laptop.

Jorge eyebrows collided as he looked at Liam then to Lana whom he saw sneaking glances at Liam.

"I watched this drama with Miley where I heard a word of wisdom for a lover's quarrel. It's better to kiss and make up if you ever fight." Jorge commented in a jest before rushing out of Liam's office.
