Stuck In Between

The next morning, Liana woke up and looked at the time when she saw what time it was she cursed herself waking up late as she was already 30 minutes late for her work

After some minutes, she emerged from the bathroom and quickly got dressed, combing her hair into a neat bun, and she scurried out of the room. Walking  towards  the living area  she saw her sister already eating. She greeted their mom and rushed out. She  flagged down a cab and got in, she told the driver her destination address.  After a while, she got to her destination, she hopped out of the car and ran into the Hotel. Liana pushed the door open  and went inside the hotel. As soon as she entered she met Lucas who was frowning his face, she greeted him but he ignored her.

“Liana, can you please clean Boss’s private room, i need to use the washroom” Thomas said and she nodded.

She took the equipment.

 She got to the room and saw everything in the room scattered with a messy bed. She changed the bed and pillow cover with a fresh one.

Minutes later, she was done and left the room. She was walking out of the room without watching where she was going when she bumped into someone. She raised her head and the person turned out to be her boss. Tony glared at her dangerously and she immediately bowed her head down  and greeted him.

“Are you blind? Can’t you watch where you’re going” He said, furiously.

“I am sorry” She mouthed and ran away.

She ran into the kitchen, she breathed heavily, she poured herself a glass of water and gulped it. She inhaled and exhaled, she walked towards Thomas with a frown and hit him slightly.

“Next time you do this, you will see my worst” She muttered and left the kitchen.

“Will you guys stop chatting and attend to the customers?” Lucas shouted and they came out.

Liana walked closer to a man who was busy smoking, a lady was next to him, she greeted them and they responded. She started to tell them about the hotel and then gave them a key to the room they asked for her. Not long after the man and his mistress went upstairs, Lucas called her and informed her to give dishes to those in room 209. She nodded and did as he said. As soon as she served the dishes, she left the room. She was on her way downstairs when he heard a deep voice, she recognised who it was and had her head  lowered  as she turned back slowly. Tony extinguished his cigarette and stared at her.

“Raise your head up” He commanded.

Liana's mind drifted to what happened in the room, she shook her head and Tony raised her chin and squinted, “It’s you again”

She nodded slowly and turned her away and caressed her cheek.

“I’m sorry, Boss” She said and was about to leave when he held her hand.

“You look pretty” He said with a smile.

“Oh shit, what’s all this?” She thought.

Tony, however, could not read her thoughts and continued to stare  at her. Some minutes later, he was still speaking with her when Lucas showed up, he was surprised to see them together, he glared at Liana before speaking

“Your mom is coming upstairs now”  He  whispered.

“I need to leave now” Liana said, walking away.

He immediately pulled her closer and pinned her to the wall, he kissed her, Lucas was shocked seeing his boss kissing her. As soon as Ms. Black saw them together, she smiled and walked  towards and tapped him.

“Mom,” He muttered.

Ms.Black smiled at them, she turned to Liana and saw her in the work uniform. She frowned and moved closer to Tony then slapped him. A gasped tore from everyone.

 “ You can fool everyone but not me. If truly she is your girlfriend why is she putting on the company uniform” 

Laina ran downstairs. She carried the plate into the kitchen and told Thomas to prepare a steak  so that she can serve it to the customers, he nodded, then she left the kitchen to attend to some customers that just arrived.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hotel, Tony was in his office speaking with his mom, with the expression on his face, it was obvious that she is still angry at him.

“How are you gonna explain this? Do you take me as a fool? I gave you three days to bring your girlfriend to the Mansion but you didn't, now i saw you kissing one of your staffs” She said but he didn’t say anything. 

He was too dumbfounded to even speak.

“Don’t you have anything to say about this? “

He managed to say something after some minutes, his mom was shocked when he was done speaking.

“You truly loved the girl” She muttered and he nodded.

“Okay, bring her home and introduce her to us” She said.

“Okay, mom” He mouthed.

As soon as Ms.Black left, he frowned.

“Fuck!” He groaned in anger and frustration, pushing away everything on his table.

Lucas rushed in and was shocked to see everything was smashed and scattered on the floor, seeing it was Lucas, he sprang up from his seat and walked out. Getting downstairs he met Liana attending to some customers, he rushed to where she was fuming with rage, he was about to tap  her when someone called him. He turned back to see his bestfriend Liam standing in front of him, he glared at Liana dangerously and left to meet Liam.

“Hey bro” He said with a smile and brought his hand for a shake.

They shook hands together and gave a tight bro hug  because it had been a while since they saw each other, so they went to his office to have some conversation. When they got inside, he narrated everything that happened to him.

“How am i gonna tell her…”

His sentence was interrupted.

“Cut it out bro, seems like you have forgotten who you are . You’re Tony Black, the only son of Black and the CEO of Five Stars Hotel, one of the city's youngest Billionaires” Liam reminded him as if he had forgotten who he was.

“Yes, that’s true” He said with a nod.

“And this lady we are speaking about is working under you so it is easy to make her pretend to be your girlfriend…you have to give her some time to think about it” Liam said, gazing at her.

“Yes, that’s …” He was cut off by his ringing cell phone and Liama took the phone for him.

“It’s your Dad” Liam announced to him, bringing the phone to him.

“I can’t take it… Let’s go out and have fun” He said and they left.
