Chapter 418 - Insanely Difficult (2/2)

Daryl was the one who wanted that position but he was aware that it would not be easy since three more lawyers in the room were as competitive as him, if not more. He would be able to get that position easily if he could secure back the clients they lost.

And his target to accomplish that goal was Kenzie Chua since she was the only weakness of Mr. Chua.

At Liam's apartment.

After a few hours, Lana woke up by the alarm she had set on her mobile phone. She immediately got up and went to the adjacent room to check if Liam was finally back. She walked towards his room and gently opened the door.

She sighed in relief, seeing him deep in sleep on his bed with his little snores. It was almost midnight… He looked so tired and exhausted.

Lana carefully moved to join him on his bed. Her movements were so smooth that she easily tucked herself inside his quilt. She smiled bashfully when she felt Liam's warmth. She did not dare to hug him because she was afraid he might wake up and get angry at her.

What she did was close her eyes and go back to sleep.

After a few hours had passed, Liam moved and opened his eyes as he felt something on his waist. He opened his eyes to see what it was and his eyes rounded, seeing Lana's face just a few inches from his.

Her arms were wrapped around his waist. He cursed inwardly because he instantly felt his lower body react to the brushing of her skin against his.

Liam was too tired and sleepy when he got home but he still looked for Lana in each room and only went to bed when he saw her already sleeping in the room adjacent to his.

Then he jumped over to his bed to sleep as soon as he was done cleaning and changing into his sleepwear.

Liam stared at her peaceful face for some time. He still had mixed emotions. He was mad but at the same time grateful that she was back in his arms. He unconsciously smiled at the thought of Lana throwing herself shamelessly on him.

”Didn't she know that I will turn into a big bad wolf if she continues this?” he whispered with a grin but then recalled his stance and immediately changed his soft expression into a serious and frowning one.

It was morning already, time for him to wake up but his body did not want to get up at all. Not until Lana moved. Liam panicked, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Lana gently opened her eyes and smiled. She successfully managed to sleep beside Liam without him realizing it.

”What a deep sleeper.” She murmured before gently and carefully moving to give him a quick kiss on his lips and quietly getting up from bed to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

Liam opened his eyes as soon as he heard the door close. He gulped and raised his hand to touch his lips with his fingers.

”It will be nothing but pure torture for me if this continues…” he whispered with conflicted emotions. It had only been two days and he could feel his wall was easily crumbling down.

”This is not good…” Liam whispered. In his opinion, he should at least test Lana for a month or two.

He heaved a long, deeply frustrated sigh. He could not believe how easy he could be. The mere scent of Lana was driving him crazy, controlling himself a while ago, from grabbing her and pinning her down beneath him, felt insanely difficult.

”Good luck, Liam…” he whispered, annoyed before he immediately got up from bed because he needed a very cold shower.
