Chapter 36: Im Hot Liam (1/2)

Liam was annoyed hearing what Noah said and was more irritated when Lana unconsciously nodded in agreement with Noah. She pensively looked at Liam and raised her eyebrows at him, questioning him with her gaze.

She was also incensed when the first thing she saw on entering the party room was Liam dancing with Miss Tang at the dance floor. It was an extremely irritable scene for her. She was sure that Rio Tang must be rejoicing and feeling too victorious after her scheme made Lana stay away from the party, thinking she got Liam under her palms.

'Pathetic delusional woman' Lana thought in her mind

Seeing Liam stood speechless and seemed to have his tongue cut off, Lana took the opportunity to explain herself, ”Oh, anyway, something happened so I had to go and change. Brione helped me with the dress and makeup and Mr. Noah here assisted me back in the party since he was also on his way here.”

Lana then tried to introduce the two men to each other and simmer the tension brewing in the atmosphere, before the three of them caught the attention of the crowd.

”Alright. Enough with that, you two at first let go of my wrist please before we make the headlines for tomorrow. Geez If you both want to fight with each other, please go outside and finish your business, and not in here” Lana mumbled when there was no movement from the two at all.

'Are they going to kill each other just with their glares?' Lana frantically mused.

She abruptly flicked her hands to get off the two male hands gripping her both wrists. She freed herself and walked back to her seat instead. She did not bother with the two men because she had her own unsettled business to deal with and that was more important for her.

”Let's see what you have in store for me next,” Lana mumbled with her eyes fixed on Rio, her sight not leaving Miss Tang dancing with Mr. Ming, for even a single second.

for visiting.

She grabbed a glass of wine from the waiter and drank everything in one gulp. She grabbed another glass and gulped it down as well. She was about to take another glass when a strong hand held her soft one and stopped her.

She tilted her head and saw Liam's gloomy face close to her, looking at her with solemn expressions.

”Why are you drinking like this?” Liam asked her with worry dripping down from his voice.

Lana raised an eyebrow and said, ”It's all your fault She has been troubling me ever since she saw me in your office and yet you have the nerve to dance with her in front of everyone, despite bringing me as your partner in the party? So now it's punishment time for you also and you have to cooperate with me in giving that wench a befitting reply with a splendid show!”

Liam gulped and remained quiet. He felt embarrassed by the way he let things happen. He knew he was in the wrong and he should not have let Miss Tang have her way with him. But at that time he noticed all eyes were on them and he did not want to embarrass a woman in public like that. That was one of the major reasons he continuously kept reminding Lana to stay with him and never leave his side.

He did not want any rumor to surface and negatively impact him then in return to backlash at the reputation of his entire company. But then Noah also had a valid point, so next time he would make sure not to let such things happen again. Liam cursed at himself for being such an idiot. He felt that Lana was mocking his embarrassed state at that moment and hence he turned away his eyes from her.

Liam didn't know how to salvage the situation for Lana and was thinking about things when he felt Lana's hand tightly grabbing his hand. He was astonished when Lana gave him a sweet smile and signalled him to follow her lead.

He gave her a confused look as she stood up and pulled him along with her walk towards the dance floor.

Lana grinned at Liam, and Liam couldn't help but think of a sly fox that was ready to charm him with her crafty tactics. They stepped on the dance floor and everyone was amazed to see such a handsome man accompanying a sexy, gorgeous woman together, making the most lovely pair among all present on the dance floor.

For a few seconds music stopped. When it started again another romantic music played and Lana then encircled her arms on Liam's neck, pulling him closer towards her and softly whispered, ”Put your arms on my waist love and hold me tight close to you and make sure your eyes show off love for me, because I have to pay back that Rio Tang more than double of what she did with me and make her burn alive in jealousy all night long. So my handsome boyfriend, please cooperate with me! I'm in this dress right now also because of her bullying.”

Liam could already grasp the entire situation, seeing Lana's pissed off expressions. When the man talking to Lana a while ago left her side, he felt a little relaxed and got too engrossed in discussing something with Mr. Ming that he did not check Lana on her spot for quite some time.

And when he threw a glance at the spot where she was standing, he could no longer see her there. He then swept his eyes all around the hall, but Lana was nowhere to be found.
