Chapter 456: Selfish Woman
After having lunch, Liam looked at Lana and said, "It's best that you go back now since we will be very busy with work."
Lana only nodded and she could clearly see the smirk on Sarah's face. Before she left, she intentionally kissed Liam on his lips and whispered, "I'll go ahead and wait for you at home. I will cook a nice dinner, so try to come soon."
She then turned around and said her goodbyes to everyone, Mian, Dona, and Sarah as well who she knew was only throwing a poker smile.
As soon as she was out of the pantry, she went to the washroom to wash her face and was surprised to see that Sarah followed her.
Lana was in no mood for drama so she just acted as if she did not see the woman.
"You may think that Liam easily accepted you back… But the way I see it… He's probably just getting even with you and I won't be surprised if he will soon leave you without any warning, just like you did…" Sarah nonchalantly commented as she fixed her hair in the mirror.
Lana chuckled…
Sarah glared at her with furrowed eyebrows and said, "Is there anything funny about you getting dumped?"
Lana turned and looked at the woman with a lifted chin and said, "I really don't get women like you… It's not the first time I've encountered a woman like you, who's trying way too hard. Someone desperate to get Liam's attention and yet with no success, not even a single bit.
How long have you've been here? Three months? Four? Five? Six? Oh, whatever but let me ask you this? Have you managed to touch even a single hair of my man? And as for me, you asked how many days it has been since I've returned?
It's not even been a complete week but I've been living with him and sharing his bed as his wife already, so if I were you, I'd get off of Liam since you clearly don't know a thing. Behave and don't meddle with our affairs. Heed my warning while I'm still being nice with you, rookie."
Lana gave Sarah one last beautiful smile before she left the washroom.
Lana exhaled loudly as soon as she was back inside her car. Her heart was slamming inside the walls of her chest. She was affected by Sarah's words though it didn't show.
'Could there be a possibility that you just want to take revenge on me, Liam? And leave me in the end?' she nervously mused as she deliberately shook her head. She knew Liam was not that kind of person so why was she even giving those stupid words any thought?
Liam easily agreed to take her on his bed and she could feel his passion for her. She should not let those kinds of words poison her mind and trample all over her esteem.
'Damn!' she cursed out loud because even though she tried to not think of it, somehow, she was getting affected and that made her nervous.
"Lana… Just do your best in winning your man back and things will go back to how they were before," she whispered. But Liam's expressionless face awhile ago hurt her, it kept coming back in front of her.
Liam did not even give a hint in favor of her. He was playing safe in front of the bitch that that bitch was just getting more and more confident with her own stupid interpretations of Liam's behavior towards her.
Sarah went back and saw Liam walking to his chair. Dona and Mian, who were done cleaning up the pantry, walked past them but Liam called their attention to him.
Sarah, on the other hand, sat comfortably on the couch.
"I've been pretty lenient lately… Next time don't let anyone inside my office without my permission. Whoever it is except for my family, Jorge, and Daryl, only the people l named … No one else can go inside." Liam instructed with authority.
"Sir… How about Miss Sarah?" Mian clarified since Miss Sarah was already there and it would be better if she heard the instructions clearly.
"Including Sarah. Are you deaf Mian? Didn't I say that only my family, Jorge, and Daryl are allowed to come in here without my approval?" Liam repeated.
"Noted Sir…" both Mian and Dona answered.
Liam looked at Sarah and said, "Go back to your office Sarah and don't bring any food to me from now on. I only allowed that before since we are all working closely on important cases. You are an asset to our group and I'd rather you bring me more successful cases rather than buying me meals and bringing them here."
Sarah, with pouty lips, stood up and said, "Got it… I will now leave…"
Liam heaved a long deep sigh. Sarah was indeed already an asset to them. The woman was very capable and won all the cases she was handling and she was very competitive as well.
She had achieved too much in her small span of time since her arrival at their firm. He did not want to lose such great talent, who could handle all types of cases like Daryl. He considered her as one of their key people as well.
As soon as everyone was out, Liam could not help but smile without him even knowing. Lana even kissed him in front of everyone today and it was hard to control himself from pulling her closer and embracing her in front of others.
Lana was someone who was actually not so fond of public display of affection but then a lot had changed in her ever since she returned. And he understood that it was also an effort from her side because she was doing all that to win him back.
Sarah, on the other hand, stomped her feet while walking back to her office.
Well, at least she was not the only one who could not enter since Liam clearly said, only family, Jorge, and Daryl. Jorge was family to him and Daryl was Liam's closest friend since she understood both men went to the same schools in their teenage days up to studying law.
"That Lana was way too confident. How dare she leave and just come back as if everything is back to normal?!" She fumed as she entered her own office space.
She knew that she was being too harsh a while ago in the washroom with Lana but that was what she really thought. Liam, for all she knew, could just be taking his revenge on Lana since she heard the two did not part ways on a good note. And she had heard how Liam was devastated by it.
She hated people like Lana who did not give importance to people who cared around them. In her opinion, Lana was a selfish woman who did not deserve someone like Liam who cared for her so selflessly.
