Chapter 440: Efforts
Liam arrived ho from work at night and saw Lana was sitting in the living room watching television. Liam halted as he saw that perfect picture of the wife waiting for her husband to return ho. His heart was clutched by sothing suddenly.
Lana saw Liam entering and said with a smile as she stood up, "You're here. I will prepare the table fast."
"No need. I already ate dinner in the office." Liam comnted sullenly.
Lana's face soured hearing his reply as she had not eaten yet since she was waiting for him to eat together. Any small-ti spent together with him was an opportunity for Lana and she didn't want to miss a single opportunity.
"How about dessert then. I haven't eaten dinner yet. I was waiting for you…" Lana murmured.
Liam's eyebrows knitted as he replied, "You did not ssage so I thought you would have eaten already."
Lana's eyes brightened as she realized sothing, 'so he was waiting for my text?' She intentionally did not text him for the fear that she would get disappointed with his cold and short replies.
Lana wanted to bump her head again since her natural prideful self reigned awhile ago stopping her from ssaging Liam for dinner. She should have constantly sent ssages to Liam. She still had to keep reminding herself that she was now the shaless Lana. The extraordinary SHALESS one...
'Damn Lana. What an idiot are you!' she again inwardly scolded herself.
"I haven't eaten anything since I like to have soone to accompany during als. I don't want to eat any of my als alone. Anyway, you go clean-up now and rest. I will go and eat food alone today." she whispered with dropped shoulders before she got up and walked towards Liam.
She halted when she was near him and gave him a peck on his lips. With a smile, she whispered, "See you later." Then she imdiately went into the kitchen to get her food and eat.
Liam was in a daze as he slowly walked towards his room.
"See later? What does she an by that?" he whispered. Then he shook his head and recalled Lana's sour face when he told her that he had eaten already
That evening Jorge ordered food for them both while they were in the office a few hours after office hours and discussing an important matter. He did not eat much since he was honestly waiting for her ssage about dinner but there was no ssage, so he thought Lana would not prepare dinner.
Liam cursed as he quickly turned around and walked to the kitchen. He saw Lana eating alone at the kitchen counter.
"What did you cook for dinner? I ate only a little in the office." He asked as he sat beside her on the kitchen counter.
Lana was startled but moved fast, stood up, and gave him a plate with his al.
"Do you want to eat at the table in the dining room?" she asked with a smile.
"Nah no need. The table is too big. Let's just eat here." Liam answered and began eating.
"How's work going?" Lana asked.
"The usual. This month will be very hectic since we lost twenty percent of the clients." Liam nonchalantly answered. Lana bit her lip because she heard of it and many speculated that it was because of the arranged marriage proposal Liam had turned down because of her.
Mr. Chua was a highly influential man, connected with many prominent people and his influence spoke a lot in the business world since his family was also into politics and was really rich. He was a very successful businessman as well and Chua's were one of the most powerful families in the country. Liam's rejection was not taken by Mr. Chua and hence he lost a big chunk of his clients suddenly.
Lana heaved a sigh, she wanted to do sothing to bring back those twenty percent clients that Sy firm lost because of her. She would have to think of sothing, but first… seducing the cold handso man sitting in front of her was more important!
Liam hesitated whether he should ask Lana about her day too. He wanted to, of course, but then he was giving her a cold shoulder whenever she wanted to cozy in with him, and Liam had decided to continue the sa way as much as possible.
'Damn!' He cursed because giving her a cold shoulder, when she was in front of him in small clothes, showing cleavage was a struggle too but it was a must to teach her a good lesson. It's not even a week since Lana returned to him.
There was only a mont of silence.
"Do you want dessert?" Lana asked as she stood up and got one from the fridge.
"Sure…" Liam comnted.
Lana smiled and served him one of the cre brulee May brought.
"You bought this?" Liam subconsciously asked because it was quite good.
"No, May brought that for this morning." Lana then realized she did not ask permission from Liam so she added, "I'm sorry I did not inform you. I hope that is okay?"
"Yeah, it's cool. I'm glad they could visit." Liam comnted that made Lana's forehead creased. 'They?' she mused. Liam seed to be aware of the visitors? The guard probably reported it!
'Could he have a hidden cara installed here as well?' she mused in terror as she looked around, afraid of being caught tampering his bedroom.
Liam could tell what was going on in Lana's mind so he could not help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, there's no hidden cara in my apartnt. The security inford when May and Riley arrived that's how I know about it... "
Lana nodded in understanding. Liam probably briefed the security to accommodate her request but they had to make sure everything would be reported to Liam. No wonder when she called the security, they did not even bother to ask more about the authorization of the owner of the house.
Liam stood up soon and said, "I will leave first. Thank you for the dinner."
Lana smiled and said, "Alright. I will join you shortly…"
