At Go's Mansion.
"Did you hear back from Liam?" Gracy asked Jorge while they were having dinner.
"He said he is having dinner with Lana, at her home, tonight." Jorge answered plainly, and Senior Sy's heart filled with joy and without his knowing he had a wide smile on his face.
"Uncle, I plan to actively work in the group and help Liam with my utmost capacity. But then I guess I still lack a lot of things and am not at all experienced in handling business, so I'm hoping Liam would agree to assist me and help me in getting familiarized with running the business for a few weeks." Gracy deliberated her intention.
"Hmm, that's good Gracy and I'm sure you will learn fast with Liam's supervision. I will talk to Liam about it." Senior Sy warmly responded.
Miley shook her head and commented, "Father, since when did you partake to brother's firm? I mean, how can you decide about things related to his firm? Instead of putting you in between, I believe Gracy should talk to bro Liam herself about it."
Then Miley's eyes sparked as she suggested, "Father, maybe it's better we hire someone else to help Gracy trained? I mean, bro Liam is a very busy man. He rarely gets any time for himself and as we all know he already has a lot in his hands. Right, Jorge?"
"Oh… Yeah," Jorge quickly answered with a gulp, seeing Miley's cunning eyes. She was obviously not letting Gracy have going to have a space in Liam's life.
"Besides, there is Lana as his intern, I think Lana is already a handful to teach for bro for you to add Gracy in his list." Miley added.
"What do you mean? They work together?" Gracy asked with her poker smile. With a turmoil inside her heart only Gracy knew how difficult it was for her to keep a poker face and get on with the talks.
"Yeah, Lana is also studying to be a lawyer, finishing her internship under strict supervision of bro Liam that would lead to her getting her license." Miley answered with a smile.
"Hmm, Lana… she seems to be an interesting character and I suddenly am getting curious to know her more and to find out about her personality. She must be something special for I can sense Miley likes her so much. Interesting… really interesting. By the way, how did Liam and Lana meet? And since when has their relationship started?" Gracy asked with raised eyebrows.
Jorge gulped when Miley also looked at him, curiosity was plastered in their eyes. Jorge looked at Senior Sy but the latter only shrugged his shoulders. Jorge felt as if he was standing on the end of the cliff and they all were trying to push him down. Even senior Sy wanted him to answer about the non existent love story of that Devil.
'Sigh! Good days are not there for me if I said something he doesn't like and he finds out about it. Already Lana had infuriated that devil to his limit today now next would be my turn.' Jorge thought in his mind and contemplated his words that should come out of his mouth about their meeting and falling in love.
'Geez! Where are you Liam? Please come and explain yourself……' Jorge cried out in silence.
"Hey… Why are you all looking at me? I don't know the whole story…" Jorge tried to defend himself with an awkward smile. Then looked at their father for any possible help.
"But you are always with Liam Jorge, so only you among all of us, could know every detail." Senior Sy seconded, with amusement on his face, seeing Jorge's expression.
Jorge pursed his lips seeing the playful grin of their father as if waiting for him to give a good narration of Liam and Lana's love story.
"Well, it all started with an accidental kiss," Jorge started.
"What? They kissed the first time they met?!" Gracy burst out.
"Yes, and they kissed very passionately for a few minutes openly in a restaurant." Jorge told the entire incident.
Miley on the other hand squealed and said, "Wow, I never thought bro is that aggressive."
"But, it was Lana who pounced on your brother and started it so Lana is the one who is aggressive." Gracy defended.
"Well whatever. Knowing bros personality… He would never answer that kiss passionately if he doesn't feel any attraction towards Lana. He will never let a stranger come too close to him, talk about kissing him or even answering his kiss you see." Miley countered subconsciously.
"That's it?" Gracy grumbled. She could not believe that love was already there between Lana and Liam.
"That's all I know Gracy… Since then Liam pursued Lana and they became an item." Jorge mumbled.
"So they have met just recently…" Gracy grunted but followed by a sweet smile at Senior Sy.
"Uncle… Do you think it's possible for me to have a vacation in your house? I mean this mansion feels really empty and I feel very lonely staying here all alone… It's really a tough time for me at this point." Gracy depressingly suggested.
Miley's eyebrow arched but before she could bash her again with something, her father immediately consoled, "Gracy. You know that our house is always open for you. You are much welcome to stay in our home as much as you like."
"Isn't it best that you stay here only? I mean all the memories of your father are scattered in your house. You've been away for too long already, don't you miss your house? Stay and reminisce about good old memories spent with your father in your house?" Miley dryly commented.
She did not know why but she could see through Gracy's words and feel her intentions were not pure behind all her words. She was sure Gracy was targeting to come close to her brother Liam by using her connection with the family, especially their father.
"How about we stay here with?you? Me and Jorge can come here for a few days to keep you company while you still feel lonely?"
Miley was smirking inwardly seeing how Gracy's face was paling.
Gracy had those hazy eyes as she turned her gaze to senior Sy.
"It's nice, but I would like to spend some time with you also uncle, since you're like a father to me. I am missing my father so much after his sudden passing away. Let me at least treat you nicely uncle… It will make me feel better if I could at least do things with you that I failed to do with my father. I was really wrong in leaving him for too long, that I feel like I have no right to even live here now." Miley heard Gracey pleaded.
She was about to interrupt when she felt Jorge pressed her arm, stopping her from saying anymore words.
Miley wanted to say that it must be better if Gracy would just leave and return back to her career but she thought it could be really rude and harsh since Gracy indeed had lost her father unexpectedly. No one saw it coming, even her, since uncle Sean looked so healthy and full of energy whenever she would see him.
Miley heaved a long sigh and watched Gracy convince her father. Maybe she was just exaggerating, besides her bro Liam would definitely know how to handle the situation so things would not get complicated with Lana.
"Miley. you take care of Gracy and make sure a comfortable room is arranged for her. She will shift there for a few days to have a vacation in our house starting tomorrow." Senior Sy stated.
"Sure, father. I'll take care of it. Oh… I'm so looking forward to having Gracy join me there. Let's go out often……" Miley answered. She has a smirk written on her face because she knew what she would do.
Jorge shook his head, seeing that mischievous grin on Miley's face. Looked like she would keep Gracy busy enough to be able to interrupt Liam and Lana.
