You're An IDIOT
At Sy Mansion.
The next morning, Senior Sy rubbed his chin with squinted eyes, seeing the chairs were all empty during breakfast. He called out Butler Dan and asked, "What's going on Dan? Tell me why am I alone this morning?"𝚏re𝒆𝙬e𝙗novel - 🅽🅽novel
Butler Dan scratched his head then answered, "Sir Liam left early."
"With Jorge?" Senior Sy asked."Sir Jorge left soon after Sir Liam left." Butler Dan answered.
"I guess Miley left last then" Senior Sy assumed and Butler Dan nodded. He emitted a long, deep sigh while shaking his head.
"Message those three and tell them I want them not to skip breakfast with me tomorrow! If I don't see them here in the morning... I..." Senior Sy paused.
Butler Dan keenly waited for the next words.
"Just say my health looks bad. Tell them I look so downcasted and heavy-hearted and eat less!" Senior Sy hissed in agony.
He smelled something was wrong if neither one of them was present at breakfast. Leaving early like that only meant they were avoiding each other. That was for Jorge and Miley but maybe Liam had a valid reason for leaving early and yet Senior Sy felt empty not seeing any of his children in the morning.
.....
At Lana's? Residence.
Meanwhile, Liam dismissed Andrew's service and left early by driving his own car. He unconsciously drove to Lana's place and parked his car close to Lana's house.
"What am I doing here?" he whispered to himself, followed by a lengthy sigh. He was confused by how he was acting. Or maybe he already got used to picking up Lana lately that his system was automatically driving towards her?
He felt his stomach grumble. He had left without having breakfast yet.
He stepped on the gas and stopped at an opened cafe for breakfast that he saw near Lana's place whenever he would pick her up or drop her off. He thought he needed a meal first before deciding on what to do next.
Liam went out of his car and entered the cafe. He called the waiter and ordered his coffee and a sandwich. He sighed. He had been sighing for several times already while asking himself why he went straight to Lana's house when he knew Lana would not report for work.
"Am I behaving like a stalker now, " he unconsciously whispered while waiting for his order.
"Hmm, I bet you are!" Liam suddenly heard a familiar voice interrupted his calm morning.
He tilted his head and saw Lana's friend he had met at her home that day. That was Clyde, who he thought was a straight man but turned out to be wrong. Recalling Lana mentioned him as a homo in her drunken state that night, he scoffed at the man.
"Hi, Liam. Here's your order. I'm in shock seeing you around here." Clyde commented while placing Liam's meal on the table and then comfortably sat on the chair beside Liam.
"By the way, this breakfast is my welcome treat for you, since it's your first time here in my cafe. Are you here to meet Lana? She will arrive soon after her jog." Clyde casually added.
'What if Lana was right, and he was wrong?' Clyde thought, biting up his lower lip as he closely watched Liam's handsomeness with his amusing smile.
'Yummy!' he mused in delight as he leaned closer and touched Liam's arm muscle subconsciously that was visible on the polo shirt he was wearing.
"Wow, I guess you work out regularly to have such sexy muscles..." Clyde whispered in his ear. Liam felt all his hairs stood up, and he wanted to punch Clyde in his face that instant.
He composed himself and with gritted teeth asked, "Are you sure Lana will arrive here?"
Clyde rapidly blinked his eyes and muttered, "Yeah, she always has breakfast here after jogging during weekends or whenever she has no work. Wait... You mean you're not meeting with her here?"
Liam shook his head while his face reddened.
He was too busy composing an alibi in his head in case Lana would arrive and asked what he was doing there. But knowing Lana, she would definitely ask until she received a satisfying answer. But Clyde was disturbing him by poking at his arm now and then.
He finally reached his limit and grunted, "Get off me you! I'm not comfortable!"
He turned his head and gave Clyde a deadly glare that made Clyde crawl up from his chair and go to the chair opposite Liam instead. He suddenly got scared with Liam's intense glare, then an awkward smile curved up on his face.
"So you don't like me touching you like that? It means you're not a Gay?" Clyde blurted out with a quizzical smile.
"Of course not!" Lian chided, frowning.
Clyde's smile widened by that answer with fluttering eyes and added, "Just what I thought, Liam Sy is not a gay. So you're not a gay like what Lana thought, huh?"
"I am a straight man and not a gay! Only an idiot would think I'm a gay!" Liam defended with clenched teeth.
Clyde laughed loudly as if mocking Liam and then turned towards Lana, who was standing just behind Liam, God knows since when...
"Dear, you heard it clear, right? I guess you're an IDIOT. Our Mr. Liam Sy here is a straight man! I am so so right! I can't believe I have more brains than our idiot soon to be a lawyer here!" Clyde triumphantly declared.
Liam swallowed hard, hearing those words from Clyde. He turned his head and saw Lana, mouth agape. Her face was so pale while drops of sweat were still on her face. She was still panting from running.
Clyde stood up from the chair, seeing the stretching tension between the two people.
"I will leave you two... I guess you need a serious talk." he mumbled before leaving and even gave Liam a wink while he whispered, "Good luck Mr. Straight Handsome Man!"
