Chapter 142: No Other Woman Matters
Lana felt really angry at first when she came out of Liam's office. But soon she realised that she was feeling more embarrassed and annoyed at the same time because she remembered herself doing so many funny and stupid things in front of that mirror.
She started feeling like a stupid mouse while walking out from Liam's office as she recalled all the crazy things she did alone inside that room, like making faces, doing makeup, dancing and even saying some stupid dialogues of movies. And the latest was acting like the Ghost in the horror movie they watched together.
Her face crumpled as she deliberately shook her head. She wanted to kill herself for being so childish seeing the mirror in her office.
"Did he see me dancing like that?" she murmured and irritatingly shook her head. She did a lot of crazy things in front of that freaking one sided mirror!
She was so annoyed and embarrassed that she was no more in the mood to join the company event, so she decided to skip it and go home instead.
She started walking towards the elevator to leave when she saw Gracy approaching her. She was already dressed up in an elegant cocktail dress. Lana saw her and accepted that Gracy was exquisite and sexy, but she did not deserve to be with a pure person like Liam.
Such a two faced bi*ch could have someone cunning in her life, who would not be harmed by her schemes, but a good man like Liam deserved more love with no scheming.
'And who do you think best suits Liam?' Her inner self mocked. Lana sniggered because she was aware that she herself did not deserve Liam. He was too good even for someone like her with a tainted past.
"Lana dear… Why aren't you dressed up yet? Aren't you going to the party?" Gracy asked with her usual poker smile. She was superb in portraying a composed, elegant image.
"Maybe not." Lana answered in a low tone.
Gracy felt she was under the weather so she asked, "Do you feel sick? All interns will be there and the company has prepared a lot of surprises for the interns present so you should join…"
Lana gave her a faint smile and replied, "Yeah… I'm not feeling well so I will have to skip the event."
Gracy's eyebrows raised at Lana's reply.
'What is her problem now? Is she tired of guarding Liam already?' Gracy mused.
"Okay then. I will take care of Liam in the party… I hope you don't mind." Gracy commented with a grin before walking towards' Liam's office. She did not even wait for Lana's reaction to her blunt words.
Gracy smirked when she left Lana.
'You're lucky if you won't attend the party then… I might as well have to prepare other plans for you later,' she mused before grabbing her mobile phone to call Lily to ask her and make sure every intern must be present at the party.
She had a special present prepared for Lana if she would come to the party and if not then it would be an opportunity for her to be alone with Liam. And if she would be fortunate enough, then she could get intimate with Liam and take him to bed with her tonight.
Meanwhile, Lana narrowed her eyes at Gracy's back.
"What the heck does she mean by taking care of Liam? Is she now so confident that she has no restraint in showing her true form openly? Take care of Liam? Is he a toddler that needs to be taken care of at that party? Can't she see that Liam needed someone to take care of her instead and shoo her away from him?" Lana irritably muttered before entering the elevator.
She suddenly contemplated whether to attend the party or to go home. How would Liam be able to handle this witch all by himself? The elevator opened and she walked out with a decission to go home instead.
She was at the exit door and was about to walk to the basement carpark when Lily dashed into her.
"Hey where are you going?" Lily asked while panting.
Lana creased her forehead before replying, "Going home, why? Did something happen."
Lily's shoulder's dropped and said, "No… Let's go to the company party. We already talked about it and you said yes. Come and let's go together. Get changed with me."
Lana made the excuse of her mother's health and told Lily she would not come, so Lily half convinced went back inside to get changed with the others after Lana firmly declined her.
She was still at the exit glass door of the parking lot when Miley arrived and was about to enter the building.
"What's going on? Why are you still not dressed up for the party Lana?" Miley burst seeing Lana standing there in her plain office clothes.
"I don't feel like going Miley…" Lana whispered with pursed lips.
"No way… You have to come! It's the company's party and you are Liam's wife! With you not around that Gracy will have an opportunity to flirt with my handsome brother!" Miley added exaggeratedly that made Lana chuckle.
"I'm sure your bro can manage her easily." She responded with a smile.
"Hmm, true… But still you should go. Your marriage is confidential, just between the families and close friends, and even though she is aware of this marriage Gracy might take that opportunity to strike a scandal with my brother.
Oh Lana, trust me… I know that woman since childhood and she had always been scheming to achieve whatever she wanted. I can see how much she likes my brother just with how she looks at big bro with her drooling eyes. She's surely waiting for an opportunity to do something outrageous and then force Liam to take responsibility. It's so obvious to her snake-like eyes…" Miley added.
Lana could not decline when Miley pulled her back and even grabbed the paper bag of her things from her. She sighed and then thought of might as well enjoy the party.
After getting changed, Miley did not let Lana get away from her grasp and pulled her to travel together with her and Jorge on the way to the party.
"Big bro left alone?" Miley asked because Liam was no longer in his office when she pulled Lana to get changed.
"Oh yeah. They left early." Jorge responded.
"They?" Miley asked.
"Yeah, he is with Gracy…" Jorge casually commented.
Miley looked back at Lana who was sitting on the backseat and said, "See? I told you… As soon as you're not around she will grab that opportunity to capture his attention, Lana."
"Stop that, Miley… You're making a fuss of simple matters. There's nothing wrong if Gracy went together with Liam in the same car…" Jorge muttered, hoping Miley would not pull down other legs like that.
Gracy was treating them all nicely and it would be unfair to say something bad about others back whether it was true or not.
Miley rolled her eyes. Jorge would always scold her like that whenever she would talk bad behind others back. Well, she was trying to avoid that habit of hers, but sometimes she could not help her tongue from slipping and spouting what is in her mind.
She pouted her lips and muttered, "It's so obvious Jorge. Don't you notice that?"
Jorge exhaled loudly and said, "Even so… We are not involved so stop nuzzling about it. Let Lana and Liam deal with it. Besides, Liam is very loyal to Lana so there's nothing to worry about."
Jorge looked at the rearview mirror with a teasing grin as he added, "Liam only has Lana in those eyes of his… Don't you see that Miley? No other woman matters to him except Lana."
He said those words with a heavy tone, making sure Lana heard them all loud and clear. He has to help out Liam, for convincing Lana to get married, in order to get his consent for marrying Miley as soon as possible.
'Huh, I really have a cruel brother-in-law!!' he scowled in his heart.
