A Lie, A Scandal And A Wedding 17. In A Meeting With Clarissa
Liam sat in the car, looking out of the window, staring at the restaurant where he was supposed to meet Frank and Clarissa. Even though the car pulled over some thirty minutes ago. He dreaded seeing him. What news will he have for him now? Has he found a new lead? Things didn't add up. Liam couldn't believe it had been five years since the death of his parents. And every time a new lead comes up, it looks like they've just died.“Are you not going in?” Liam came out of his thoughts to look at Noah, who was seated across from him in the limousine.Liam ignored his words but rather asked him instead, “How's Maya? Has she left the office?”Noah snorted at him; he knew what Liam was doing, and he wasn't going to allow it. “You are stalling my question, and you know it,” He told him, already opening the door.Come, let's go in and have it done already.” He waved Liam over, who reluctantly got out of the car. He heaves a loud sigh. “That's right, let's get this done so I can go home to b

Liam staggered to the elevator and pressed the key to the penthouse. He didn't want to risk being seen by anyone, especially not in this state.The door opened and he walked into it, he pressed it close and watched Noah running over. Liam stopped the elevator with his foot and called to him“ Go home, Noah. I don't need you here to babysit me” Noah looked at the boss, a feeling of sadness enveloping him. He hated to see the boss like this. He didn't know what to say, which was why he nodded and turned back towards the parking lot where his car was parked. He got into it and drove off, hoping the boss would be okay. Maybe being alone will finally help him to sort out his problems.Liam sighs as he lets go of the elevator door and rests his head on the wall, letting his bag drop to the floor with a loud thud.He held his head as he thought back to that night. He would give anything to change everything. To make everything right. If only he didn't make that phone call.“What do you mean

The sunlight pouring through the glass window caused Liam to shield his eyes with his hands as he turned to stretch his body.He opened his eyes slowly, and turned to take in his surroundings. He was disoriented for a few seconds before the memories of yesterday came flooding through his memory lane.He made to stand up, but froze as soon as he noticed the hairs. Mass and mass of thick hair overflowed his duvet. He freezes. He slowly rises and stares at the lady in shock.“Maya?” He frowned as he paced to and fro the room lost for words.“What is she doing here?” He wondered. No matter how hard he searched his mind, he couldn't remember seeing her yesterday.Just as he made to wake her up, the elevator dinged as Noah stepped into the floor, he opened the door and shouted his boss's name since he knew his boss would still be in bed.But he didn't envision his boss running to meet him, almost naked, with a brief on, as he put his hand on his mouth signalling him to shut up.Noah nodded

“And what's wrong with my favourite daughter-in-law, today?” Maya turned toward Mr. Powell with a smile on her face. She saw him descend the stairs from the other side of the room. She stood up and went toward him, wiping the frown from her face.“Why Grandpa, I'm your only daughter-in-law?” Maya told Liam's grandfather as he chuckled and put his arms around her shoulder, letting her guide him to the couch.“Of course, and you are my favourite”“So, what's wrong with you? You've been moody since she came back from the office ” Mr. Mason asked his daughter-in-law as he turned to watch her frown before taking her eyes off him.“It's nothing, grandfather,” Maya replied with a shrug. How could she explain to Liam's grandfather that she was jealous of Clarissa, a faceless woman who calls Liam every time they are together?Liam's grandfather looked at her with a slight twitch of his eyebrows which shows he didn't believe her but he didn't press her on it instead, he brought out an album an

Liam dropped Maya gently on the couch and half ran into the bathroom. He came back with a heavy white towel, he wrapped it around Maya and bent to look into her eyes. “This should help,” He told her as he draped it around her shoulder and tightened it around her. Maya nodded. The chatter has subsided but she still feels a bit cold from staying in the water for too long “Here,” He hands the two ends for her to hold. He stood up and gazed at her “I'll go make coffee. That should help also.” Liam told her, already rushing to the kitchen. He switched on the coffee maker and started with the coffee. Thirty minutes later, Maya snuggled into her towel, holding her coffee which she sipped at intervals, head resting on Liam's shoulder. The cold has finally subsided, giving way to the awareness that rises from being close to Liam. She shakily dropped her cup on the saucer. And fold her hands together on her lap. Anything to keep her from touching Liam. Liam noticed Maya's quietness and

“Welcome to La Cuisine. Would you like a secluded seat?”Liam turned to the middle-aged woman who was welcoming them into the restaurant. She looked to be the owner of the restaurant. Liam knew she had taken one look at him and his partner to know they were important people.“No, thank you.” Liam nodded at her before turning to see everyone busy with their meals ignoring them“Out here with them will be better,” He told her. Madame smiled and ushered them to a vacant chair by the window.“I hope this will do," The woman looked at Liam apologetically.Liam nodded. He sat down on the chair and stretched his legs while motioning Maya to do the same. Any place with people will do. He couldn't bear being alone with her. He may be tempted to take advantage of her. Even when he had been a youth, he hadn't been a raving one.“Do you like it?” Liam asked Maya as she sat in front of himMaya nodded.

I want us to look around who know” He shrug as he pointed ahead “You might find something you like”Maya paused as she watched him walk ahead, his dark jeans tightening as he moved his legs, driving the feeling she has been trying to diminish ever since he started eating.She didn't know Liam was a noisy eater.
