Gracy ground her teeth as soon as she left Lana's room. She was shaking in anger while she walked out of Liam's office.
She understood one thing that must act quickly if she wanted to save Liam from the clutches of this witch. She was walking towards her room and was in the hallway when she saw Liam and Jorge coming back from somewhere together.
"Hello Gracy!" Jorge greeted in a jovial tone. Liam raised his eyebrows and gave a quick glance at Jorge, who acted a little too happy than he normally did. He had been noticing Jorge, who was in an excellent mood since this morning.
His face had a different brightness. He even caught Jorge smiling to himself several times, and somehow Jorge took the initiative of greeting everyone they passed by. Not so unlike Jorge, but he was acting exaggerated since morning.
'Did something happen that I am not aware of? Trying to keep secrets from me? Let me see how long you can do that dear brother!'
Liam then turned to Gracy, who was smiling sweetly at him. He gave her half a smile.
"Are you going to eat lunch at the pantry? Did you order a delivery Jorge?" Gracy asked, smiling. She was aware that Liam and Jorge often ate lunch in his office since Liam preferred eating in his office unless he was outside for work.
"Oh yeah, did you eat already?" Jorge asked, and Gracy shook her head.
"Oh, then good. How about you join us, Gracy? I have ordered enough food for us all. Come and join us." Jorge invited her for lunch as well, still in his ecstatic mood.
Gracy timidly looked at Liam as if waiting to see if he would agree or not.
"Yeah, come and join us Gracy." Liam seconded in his casual tone. Gracy's lips curved up in?a beautiful smile as she followed Liam and Jorge back to Liam's office.
But that smile quickly faded when she saw Liam walking directly to Lana's room. She exhaled loudly, trying to calm herself and maintain her composure as she followed Jorge at the pantry where the food was already kept. f𝙧𝑒𝑒𝘸e𝗯𝗻ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Lana stood up, seeing Liam entering her room.
"Come, let's eat lunch." he spoke to Lana with a smile on his face and Lana simply nodded.
Liam was about to open the door when Lana stopped him and said, "Wait."
Liam turned to look at her with questioning eyes.
"Last night. What happened after you gave me wine? I mean the last thing I remember is drinking wine on the couch beside you, but this morning I woke up on my bed. Did I perhaps do something crazy after being drunk?" Lana straightforwardly asked.
Liam narrowed his eyes on Lana and with a serious face stated, "Yeah, you actually did act crazy. But since you didn't remember anything about it yet, then I thought it's better for me to seal my mouth but since you are bringing it up first then..."
Lana unconsciously bit her lips because she could recall herself pouncing and crawling on Liam.
"Nevermind. It's better you just seal your mouth and forget it... hehehe... let's go and eat..." Lana grumbled and was about to step out of the room when she felt a tug on her hand and suddenly Liam pulled her closer to him.
"What are you doing?" Lana bleated with rounded eyes while she felt Liam sliding his arm on her waist holding her tight in his embrace and pulling her closer to him.
"Don't move... Gracy is glaring at you right now so I think this is a bit necessary." Liam whispered in her ear. Lana was about to turn her head to see if Liam was telling the truth, but Liam cupped her face with his other hand and stopped her saying, "Do you want to recall what you did last night? You should take responsibility."
"Huh?" Lana asked, confused.
"Try remembering. Or maybe later I will show what you did to me." Liam said with his eyes piercing directly at Lana's.
Lana, trying to control her throbbing heart, pounding in her chest cavity to jump out any moment it got a chance, crumpled her face and pushed Liam.
"Geez stop playing tricks on me... We will see once I recall everything. If I know it's you again who..." Lana paused.
Liam chuckled and said, "Who what? You mean who first initiated intimacy? Like who kissed whom?"
Lana rolled her eyes with Liam's teasing and quickly escaped from his embrace. She held her chest and fletched heart while she walked out of her room to go to the pantry.
Thanks to Jorge's bright smile and greeting, she managed to calm down the irregular pounding of her heart.
"Let's eat Lana..."
Lana's eyebrows raised hearing Gracys lovely voice and something cracked in her heart, not to add to the sour taste she felt seeing her wide smile. Lana sighed and sat on a chair.
"Jorge, you look so inspired and blooming? I guess something very good and nice has happened with you?" Lana commented and ignored Liam, who sat beside her.
Jorge's face blushed slightly, but that disappeared soon when his look shifted to Liam.
"Oh, I'm just excited about the company's upcoming anniversary celebrations..." Jorge diverted the topic. He and Miley had not informed Liam and their father yet about their relationship.
Miley wanted to keep it a secret for a few days to enjoy the punch of a hidden affair, so he agreed with her and let Miley decide on when she wanted to announce it to everyone. He was so ready anytime now. When he had accepted his feelings, nothing else mattered.
"Oh right. I heard that would be fun and relaxing." Lana commented. She heard Dona talk about it excitedly a while ago, about the anniversary celebration to be held this week.
"Here..."
Gracy put some meat on Liam's plate that made the atmosphere awkward. Lana's eyebrows lifted.
Gracy bit her lip before saying, "Sorry, Lana. I forgot. I'm used to giving meat to Liam like this whenever we eat, so I hope you don't mind.."
Lana exhaled and stared at Gracy intently in her eyes before saying, "I do mind it Gracy so I hope you won't do this again. Liam is now married to me, he is my husband."
Gracy smiled and said, "You said it yourself... Liam thinks of me as a sister, so why are you overreacting with what I did? I mean, I just put some extra meat on his plate like a sister."
Lana let out a poker smile before replying, "I'm a bit possessive on my man and I hate seeing another woman doing any intimate things like that, especially if they are not blood related to my man."
Then Lana turned to Liam and said, "Love... I don't like seeing any woman doing that."
Liam looked at Gracy and said, "Sorry Gracy, but I'm a henpecked husband." Liam gave his bowl to Jorge and said, "Here, eat this. Let my lovely wife feed me by her own hands."
Jorge swallowed the food in his mouth without chewing and drank a glass of water to gulp that bite down forcefully. What he hated the most was being stranded in this kind of scenario between two fighting women. He helplessly looked at Liam and shrugged his shoulders.
'Is he smiling for real?!' Jorge cried out, seeing Liam as the only one who seemed to be enjoying the exchanging of words between Lana and Gracy.
Then he looked at Lana, wondering if she would really dare to feed Liam right in front of them. But to his horror, what really shocked him was seeing Liam open his mouth and muttered, "Ahhh..."
'F*cking sh*t!!!' Jorge cursed, which he rarely did.
