Chapter 37: Made Decisions.....

LISA'S POV

Liam's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with an intensity that made my skin prickle. "Lisa, listen to me," he said, his voice low and urgent. "You need to go home. Now."

I raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of defiance. "Why? What's going on?"

Liam glanced around the room, his eyes darting towards Leo, who was watching us with an unreadable expression. "This isn't the right time or place for this conversation," he muttered. "But trust me, you need to get out of here before things escalate."

I hesitated, unsure of what to do. But Liam's words struck a chord deep within me. I knew he was right. This wasn't the time or place for a confrontation.

"Okay," I said finally, nodding. "I'll go."

Liam's face relaxed, his shoulders sagging in relief. "Good," he said. "And Lisa?"

I turned to him, my heart pounding in my chest. "Yeah?"

"Tell Leo to back off, okay? His behavior towards your family isn't helping. If he wants to win your father over, he needs to show some respect."
