Chapter 43: Grumpy (1/2)

At Sy Building

Liam tramped back in the office with a very dark face and his aura was enough to frighten Mian and Dona who didn't want to even step inside his cabin for signing of important documents.

They saw Jorge step in and felt relieved as they immediately asked him to help out with the papers. He frowned when he found out about the foul mood of Liam and took the papers from Mian to saunter in Liam's office.

”What happened to you?” Jorge asked with his knitted brows as he approached Liam's table and sat down on a chair in front of him. He was aware about Liam's visit to Lana's place, but he was trying to be less obvious as a nosy body or else his spy would be digged out soon.

He was already upset for not getting any newsworthy info from the party last night, but this morning Liam seemed to be in a good mood so something must have happened for his mood to change so soon in the afternoon after visiting Lana?

His mobile phone beeped, and it was Andrew's message.

for visiting. [There's another man who arrived at Miss Lana's house too after we reached there. A handsome macho man.]

Jorge suddenly giggled.

”What's so funny Jorge?” Liam exclaimed.

”Oh, nothing Just a friend of mine sent this funny thing. Anyway, how's Lana? Did you remind her about tomorrow?” Jorge nonchalantly commented.

”Not yet. You remind her about tomorrow, Jorge. I have already reminded her enough and now I'm in no mood to repeat myself to her all over again!” Liam hissed.

”Why are you so grumpy? Did anything happen that spoiled your mood?” Jorge naively asked.

Liam''s brows raised, he looked at Jorge and scorned, ”It's like you know nothing. Oh, please”

Jorge gulped and twitched his mouth. He looked askance and just as he raided his brain in trying to get something to reply Liam, his phone rang and his entire demeanor changed when he saw the name flashing on his screen.

He immediately received the call and in a solemn voice answered it without taking another breath.

”Calm down. Where are you now? I'll be there” he beamed and rushed out of the office without even looking back at Liam and trying to reply to him or tease him.

Liam shook his head, seeing him hurrying up like that. There was only one person who could make Jorge run like that in a flash without even telling him where to go.

He emitted a long sigh as he went through a file on his laptop. It was the testimony of Gilbert's butler regarding Gale's case.

”Tsk!” Liam grunted in a rasping tone before folding his laptop. He could not concentrate on his work at all, and all that occupied him was the trip to Lana's house .

”Boyfriend?” he echoed.

When Lana left for the kitchen to bring the snacks, Liam felt as if Clyde's eyes were crawling on his body and scanning him closely. That man was obviously inspecting him in detail and checking him out. He hated being eyed by him so weirdly the whole time.

”How come any man can just go in and out of her house? And does she not feel creepy when he eyes her like that?” he irritably added.

Meanwhile, back in Lana's house
