At Sy Building

  The next morning, Liam was back at the company and the employees hosted a welcome party for him.

  He was in a very good mood so he instructed his new assistant Kris to arrange extra bonuses for every employee that year.

  His upcoming wedding ceremony came as news to people since Liam proudly announced it everywhere.

  "I'm sure that the boss will throw a grand celebration for all us employees at his upcoming marriage ceremony…" one of the employees buzzed.

  "Is that for real, he will get married? To whom? He doesn't even have a girlfriend!" Luo's secretary burst.

  She as well as other employees around that floor had the same topic for gossip. It was the hottest trending topic inside the Sy Building.

  Luo, who just went out of her office to go see Liam, heard that. She paused in front of her secretary and said, "He already has a wife and you all know her too…… "

  "Who ma'am?" Her secretary asked, all eyes in that area suddenly darted towards Luo.

  "You all know her. She's none other than Lana Huang. So, for those who gossip about her… judging her like they knew her since before time… Hah!… Let's see how you guys do that now.

  I'm sure Liam will make sure to cut out the tongue of any gossip mongers if they as much as say anything negative to his wife." Luo warned them with a loud laugh, making sure everybody heard it loud and clear so that anyone who bad mouthed Lana before would definitely have cold feet.

  She was grinning while looking at their pale faces.

  She left with a smirk and walked towards Liam's office.

  "Welcome back…" Luo cheerfully greeted him as soon as she was inside the office. Liam smiled and signaled her to sit on the couch.

  He rose from his seat and sat on the chair of her to face Luo.

  "I guess I can take a lot of vacations now seeing how you and Jorge have been handling the company in my absence." Liam praised her because Jorge said Luo assisted him a lot.

  "Oh I did nothing, really. Jorge fits his position and he is great in managing the company when you're away." Luo humbly answered but Liam knew she guided Jorge well.

  "The Vice Chairman position is still vacant you know…" Liam reminded her because he honestly valued Luo and thought that she would be the best fit for this position.

  Luo shook her head. Mian entered to serve them coffee.

  "Thanks Mian." Luo said with a smile and when the secretary left she looked at Liam and exhaled loudly.

  "Honestly, there's something I want to tell you…" Luo started, with a bit of hesitation in her voice.

  "Hmm, you sound serious. I guess it's something important. Tell me…"

  "I plan to resign, Liam."

  "Huh?" Liam questioned with knitted brows.

  "I know what I will tell you now, will really surprise you because honestly even I am still in awe of how things turned out…" Luo said and went on to explain everything to Liam.

  "What?!" Liam couldn't contain his surprise anymore. Luo married Noah?!

  Luo's face turned crimson red as she timidly added, "I love him and I want to be a dutiful wife and a supportive partner for him Liam. I hope you understand."

  Liam heaved a long deep sigh before asking Luo, "You promise you thought about this practically and are sure a hundred percent?"

  Luo nodded and Liam could see she meant it, so he whispered, "Alright then… Even if I don't want to let you go… I have no choice but to respect your decision Luo. You do know that the firm will always be open for you at any given time and I… as a friend, together with my wife Lana, will always have your back in case you'll need anything."

  Luo nodded and said, "Thank you Liam… If you ever need me you should also know that you can always count on me."

  Liam chuckled and said, "I better not disturb you or your husband will kill me. You see, me and Noah are not on good terms."

  Luo pouted and mumbled, "Yeah… You boys really should make up. I hope Lana and I can be a reason to somehow get you two on good terms."

  "We'll see to that." Liam replied.

  Luo exhaled a sigh before adding, "I should leave now and not occupy more of your precious time. I will wrap up everything before I leave…"

  Liam nodded back warmly when Luo bid him farewell. He watched her leave his office and ended up sighing heavily.

  Luo was one of his prized assets and it truly saddened him to lose her but then he was grateful for seeing her happy.

  Somehow he could sense her joy and believed that she indeed was in love seeing her blooming aura. He only hoped Noah would treat her properly and lovingly, how she deserved to be treated.

  He grabbed his mobile phone to check on his wife.

  "Oh Keira and others are here to congratulate me. They are planning to throw me a bridal and a baby shower…" Lana excitedly informed.

  Liam creased his forehead. Baby showers were okay but having a bridal shower led by Keira? He was a bit hesitant towards agreeing to that idea, knowing how playful Keira could be.

  "Love, tell Keira to make it a combined party , huh? No male strippers!" He warned that made Lana laugh.

  "But I want to watch men stripping…" she candidly expressed, making Liam scoff in disbelief.

  "No…" he insisted.

  "Oh, yes…" Lana replied chuckling.

  "Seriously Mrs. Lana Huang Sy! I will spank you hard! If you want to see some stripping, I will do it for you. Nonstop, as long as you want it."

  Lana pouted and complained, "but you can't do it like those professionals do. They dance sensuously and show their manly sides too…"

  Liam's face reddened as he said, "what do you think of your husband? I'm a hundred times better than them!"

  "Okay do it for me later and let me decide if you will pass. If not then we will proceed as planned. I will hang up now, love. Practice your moves in your private room. Bye… love you…"

  Liam was about to say more but his playful wife had already ended the call.

  Liam quickly called out to inform his secretary, "No one will disturb me today, clear my schedule for the whole day!"
