"What are you doing?"
Liam froze in his spot, and he snapped out of his daze. His eyes widened and met the rounded and blazing eyes of Lana, shooting bullets towards him.
Liam blinked and quickly pressed his two fingers on Lana's forehead."Ant... I saw an ant here!" he stuttered and immediately pulled himself back to his seat, his heart beating erratically for almost being caught red-handed. How he became so stupid?
"We're here at your home. I was about to wake you up when I saw something crawling on your face. Turned out to be an ant." Liam continued and rubbed his hand as if taking off a dead ant there on his finger.
Lana ignored him and let out a loud yawn followed by the stretching of her neck and hands.
"Thank you for the ride, Liam. See you tomorrow, " Lana sluggishly said before taking off her seatbelt and opening the car door.
Liam ran out to turn around to Lana's door and asked, "Can you walk properly to your doorstep? Let me walk you..."
Lana raised her hand and said, "No thanks. I'm cool. I'm not that drunk, and I can manage to walk myself. Can I return your coat tomorrow? It's a little chilly outside."
Liam nodded and watched Lana walk past him. He stood there in his spot and waited until Lana was inside her house. After making sure Lana was inside, he shook his head and massaged his nape as he went back inside his car and put his hands on the steering wheel and grinned.
"You're crazy Liam." he muttered and stepped on his gas to drive.

Lana cleaned up and changed into her nightwear to go to bed. She was about to sleep when she received a call from Liam.
She picked up the phone and sluggishly answered, "Hello?"
"Rest tomorrow. No need to report at the office. Lana, I'm sorry about what happened tonight. You must be tired by everything that happened there. Take a proper rest tomorrow." Lana heard Liam say.
There was an interminable pause so Lana asked, "You still there? I'm hanging up now."
"Yeah, I'm here. Alright. Goodnight Lana." she heard Liam say and then disconnected the call.
Lana scoffed and smiled. She was indeed tired with all that happened in the party and resting tomorrow with nothing to worry about Rio Tang would be like a breath of fresh air for her.
With the kind of personality Lana had, she would rather fight a battle like in the military or go for adventurous missions than being a part of these kinds of battle of bitchiness. She felt that it was more tiring and relentless.
She hugged her pillow and yawned. She stared at her ceiling, thinking about the night and the incidents of the party for quite some time. Scene after scene, every minute of the party played in front of her eye and she smiled when she remembered she kissed Liam. She smiled thinking of the expression he had as if he was shocked.
"Poor homo guy, kissed by a woman again today."
"At least he knows how to apologize, " she murmured when she remembered his phone call, but creased her forehead and suddenly touched it.
"An ant? Inside his car? How funny." Lana chuckled.
"If I had not known him properly, I would have thought that he's just mesmerized by my beauty, wondering how he can take advantage of my beautiful features while I was asleep, " Lana concluded with a grin.
Maybe she was too drunk and dead tired to think rationally at that moment. However, she was accustomed to hear compliments about her beauty even from Clyde, who at one time wished that he could exchange bodies with her because she was wasting it by?staying single all her life.
"Liam kissed me so naturally for a homo, could it be that he is a bisexual?" she murmured, her thoughts still lingering on with the kiss before dozing off into deep slumber
....
Liam woke up in a good mood next morning. He quickly took a shower and changed into his usual business suit. He went down to join the family for breakfast very jovially.
"Good morning, " he greeted everyone in an energetic voice.
Senior Sy exchanged meaningful glances with Jorge, who grinned and raised his eyebrows. He was aware that Liam drove Lana to her home last night, and he had already reported it to their father who was too excited about the next day, the weekend.
Senior Sy coughed to clear his throat before casually reminding, "Tomorrow, don't forget to bring Lana here for dinner or if you can bring her early for some afternoon teapot or for both lunch and dinner. The more time she spends here with us all, the better."
"I will tell her later." Liam simply answered. fr𝘦𝑒𝘄e𝗯novel - 🅽🅽novel
"How was the party brother? Did you happen to meet Mr. Noah? Is he really that handsome as rumored?" Miley interrupted.
"Yes, he was there at the party, but he is definitely not your type. He's also not too handsome as a person so don't expect too much from him. I would rather hand you over to Daryl than him." Liam commented.
Jorge coughed and almost choked on Liam's words."What's wrong Jorge?" Liam asked in a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing... Just a bone got stuck in my throat. I think I did not check properly before eating." Jorge defended and gulped down half a glass of water.
Miley smirked and interpreted it differently in her head.
'The chicken bone or the bone called Daryl? When will the day come when he will clear things out? huh!'
"You should have said that you would rather hand me over to Jorge big bro, not Daryl... see now how bad he felt, ?you almost killed Jorge by choking on his food." Miley enthusiastically voiced out.
Jorge glared warningly at Miley, signalling her to stop with her bantering. Miley ignored his warning and smiled back lovingly at him and worse winked at him in front of everyone. Jorge was left speechless by her actions.
Liam looked at Jorge and said, "You go with me after?Jorge."
"Huh? Why? Aren't you picking up Lana today?" Jorge asked with a furrowed forehead.
"No, she will rest today. I have to go and visit some sites today so accompany me this morning. We will head there directly, " Liam instructed and Jorge nodded.
"Can I borrow Jorge next week, big bro?" Miley suddenly asked pleadingly.
"No! I have a lot of pending work in Liam's office." Jorge quickly answered. Miley twisted her face. She missed Jorge a lot lately. He would often say that he was too busy, and she knew that he was just obviously ignoring her intentionally.
'As if he could ignore me all his life. We will see. ' Miley mused, glaring directly at Jorge with a lifted brow. Jorge clammed up on his seat and knew Miley was getting upset with his replies.
Senior Sy could not help but grin at the scene. Seeing how Miley was persistent in courting Jorge. He felt Miley should train Liam for chasing the person he liked. How come his daughter was much bolder than his son, who was so stiff when it came to relationships? He was silently cheering for his daughter in pursuing Jorge.
He loved his daughter dearly and knew that he could not trust Miley to any other man except Jorge. But then he was adamant about not interfering in their relationship until they ask his blessings because he wanted to respect whatever Jorge's decision would be. Yet, he was still hoping for Jorge to become a legal member of their family by marrying Miley. Senior Sy was also quite sure that Liam would agree with him on this matter.
