Lahat ng Kabanata ng Accidentally In Love With You: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

With the way her mind went completely gaga around Liam, that could be disastrous and only make the awkward situation awkwarder…was that even a word? She didn’t know, but she was using it. It suited the situation perfectly. If she didn’t have a solid plan worked out by the time Liam came back into his office she would definitely end up making the whole thing more awkward than it already was. She walked around Liam’s office, her fingers grazing the surface of his desk the bureau, and the window sill that had a spectacular view of the city. She could smell his aftershave and practically feel his presence in the room without him even being there. It wasn’t helping her come up with the words she needed or the strategy to make things less awkward between them, but she couldn’t deny she liked having this moment alone in his office to soak him in. Raised voices coming from one of the other offices made her stop and turn. The door was still open and she could see the other staff looking in

“I could style shiny, sparkling, unicorn fracking rings around you, Mr. I-Am-Too-Sexy-For-This-Shirt. I could beat you in a mother-blessed style-off with one hand tied behind my back and a pirate patch over one eye. I am fan-fickle-fantastic at what I do, which you would know if you have a good gosh darn about anyone else than yourself!” Her voice had risen and Carter and Liam had taken a step back from her, their mouths open and their eyes wide. If she wasn’t so mad, it would be funny. “Mia,” Liam tried again, braving her wrath to try and reason with her but she couldn’t be reasoned with. She saw her one and only opportunity to show everyone in her life that she was more than just the Minnie-Mouse-baby-sister-princess slipping through her fingers and she was grasping wildly at anything she could to stop her career from free-falling over a cliff. “Just give me a chance to prove myself,” she said, pushing her shoulders back and lifting her chin. “Throw me a fudge cookie crumb and

Mia looked at him for a beat and he wondered if she was having flashes of what happened between them that night and then she shook her head to clear it or maybe in answer to his question. “Peyton doesn’t know,” she replied. “It, ah, it might be best if she didn’t find out,” he said, feeling like an arsehole all over again. “Yeah,” Mia replied, exhaling roughly. “Um, well, so do you have someone in mind to ask to be your candidate for the makeover?” he asked briskly, moving on from the awkwardness and into something he felt entirely more comfortable with. She bit her lip, sinking her teeth into her plump lower lip, and he groaned inwardly. “Yeah. Yes. Of course,” she replied, plastering a bright smile on her face. He nodded, desperate for this meeting to be over and to move her out of the close quarters of his office. “Okay great. “Your cubicle is just outside the door. Why don’t you go and get settled? I’m sure HR had some forms for you to fill out. There’s a phone on your

“Carter liked the idea so much he decided it should be the next series on Liam’s blog. We each have to style someone and the readers will vote.” “That doesn’t sound so bad,” Peyton said. “You’re really good at what you do. I bet you could give Liam a run for his money.” “Yeah well,l none of that can happen unless I find a willing body to be my coat-hanger and everyone I’ve asked has turned me down.” “Marc?” “Both Marc and Alex said no. Danny said no, Jamie said no, Blain said no. I’ve gone through my entire contacts list and not one person is willing to help me out.” “Do you want me to ask Finn?” Peyton asked. “Thanks, but no. I thought about it, but I think I need someone impartial. Besides, haven’t the two of you had enough of the spotlight?” Peyton groaned. “Enough for a lifetime but I’m sure if you needed someone desperately he would do it.” “No,” Mia said with a gusty sigh. “I wouldn’t ask him. I was just hoping you might have some ideas ab

Parker stopped laughing but the grin didn’t leave his face. “This makes so much more sense now. No wonder you’re in a shitty mood. You’re scared that your intern is going to show you up. You’re worried she is actually better at this than you.” “Fuck off,” Liam snarled. “Don’t you have work to do?” Parker got to his feet slowly, his face still split with a mile-wide grin. The smug bastard. Liam wanted to wipe that stupid smile off his face and it didn’t even matter that Parker was his best friend. The bastard was supposed to help him, not make fun of him. “I’ll go, but don’t think I won’t tell the others. This is fucking hilarious.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever. Get out of my office and do some goddamned work.” Parker opened the door but turned back to Liam. “Drinks tonight?” he asked. “I’ve got tickets to that new club.” “Sure,” Liam replied even though it was the last thing he felt like doing. He would have readily agreed if Parker had suggested a quiet drink in a dark bar somew
