Chapter 57
âUgh, youâre no fun!â Jenny whined
*You didnât expect me to be, did you?â Carla said, quickly thinking of a comeback. Liam shook his head and smiled. He watched her, thinking she was smart to be able to think of a sharp, savage replies to whatever insults her friend was hauling at her. Carla rolled her eyes, at him this and gestured for him to keep his mouth shut. He laughed at that and motioned her to go on with the conversation she was having with her friend.
* Shut up Carla, must you always have a reply ready and waiting to every of my words?? Jenny sounded frustrated.
*So spit out whatever you want to tell me!â Carla fired back, not backing off one bit.
*Calm down your ass, will you?â Jenny laughed.
Carla sighed audiblyâ There I have, so get with the damn thingâ
âBitch Jenny muttered but there was no malice to her word.
âJust get on with it already, Iâm busyâ Carla said, getting tired of her friendâs endless chatter already.
From her peripheral vision, she saw Liam smirked and she frowned, wondering why on earth he did that. Oh! He thought she told her friend she was busy because she was eager to pick up where they left off just before Jennyâs call came in.
âWhat?â She whispered to him and he shook his head, gave her the hand sign to carry on with her conversation.
*Just shut up for a minute Carla!â Jenny shouted.
Okay maâam Carla teased.
Jenny coughed slightlySo⦠He asked me out on a dateâ
Carla rolled her eyes Heard that already, so I asked who?â
âUgh youâre mean! Jenny whined and continued Alex. He asked me out â
Carlaâs eyes widened âAlexâ The same Alex I know?!â She was really surprised
*Of course dummy, the Alex we both know Jenny answered.
âWow girl! I must say, Iâm surprised. How did you manage to get him to go on a date with you?!â Carla gushed out.
*Idiot, the right question is, how did he manage to convince me to go on a date with him?â Jenny said sharply and Carla could feel her sharp glare from where she was.
âOkay how?â Carla asked, not ready to rephrase her question
âWell, he came to my restaurant today and boom, it just happened âJenny said.
Carla rolled her eyes I already knew what you wanted to say wouldnât make sense
âShut your trap Jenny laughed.
âAnyways, just thought of informing you. Do you have any idea what would be the perfect outfit to wear? She added.
âI have no idea dummy, can I hang up now?â Carla asked.
*Oh Carla, you wound me! Jenny whined.
*That was my intention, now bye. I wish you good luck on your date âCarla said and hung up.
Liam laughed heartily âI like your friendship, how long have you guys been best friends?â He asked curiously.
She looked lost in thought for a moment âHmm⦠Forever I guess, I canât really remember
âWowâ He said, looking impressed.
âYeahâ She agreed.
âSo were you about to tell me something before your friend called?â He asked, bringing the subject back to the initial matter.
She looked thoughtful but tiam knew it was all a pretence Hmmm yeahâ
*So?â Liam probed when she didnât say anything after that.
âSo I said I was not really feeling good for the past few daysâ¦. âShe started.
Liam interrupted her â Yeah, heard that part â
She eyed him but ignored his remark âIt got bad this morning so I went to the hospitalâ¦â
Again, he cut her off but this time, he was annoyed âHospital?! You were at a hospital today but youâre just telling me?? Ben⦠Where is he?? I told him to keep me posted on
*Come on Liam, itâs no big deal and Iâm fine. Ben has nothing to do with this, he was just following my order thatâs all. Do not hold him accountable for something I caused Carla explained gently but she could see Liam was still mad at her because he gritted his teeth and didnât say a word.
âSay somethingâ She coaxed softly and placed her hands on his
âYou were sick and even went to the hospital today but I knew nothing about it, so what do you expect me to say? You just proved I have no right to interfere in your private life, isnât it?â He didnât look at her as he said this.
She pouted âCome on Liam, Iâm sorry and as you can see, Iâm fine so letâs not start an argument pleaseâ
Liam stared deeply into her wide, innocent eyes and realized he couldnât stay mad at her for long, not even if he wanted to.
He sighed âWhat am I going to do with you, Bella? He asked rhetorically as he didnât want an answer but Carla replied him anyway.
She smiled seductively âHow âbout one round?â And she winked.
Liam feigned innocence and he raised his eyebrows quizzically âOf?â
âSexâ She replied without mincing words. She reached out and tug his tie, earning a groan of anticipation from him.
His breathing came in rapid motions now âYou want that? âHe didnât wait for an answer as he removed her hand from his tie and started to loosen it
himself
Carla laughed and pushed his hands away âHeck no husband, we canât do that here! What if someone comes in? I was just kidding when I said that â
âThis is my company Bella, I can do whatever I want He defended himself.
*So breaking one or two rules wouldnât hurt, would it?â He added with a wolfish grin.
âI know itâs your company but still, no. It doesnât comply with the working etiquette âCarla insisted.
Liam groaned âStop torturing me wife, or I might just ignore your protest and bend you over that that and fuâ¦â
âOh Liam shut up! Carla exclaimed, laughing.
Liam grunted âSo you were saying something before you distracted me, little witch âHe teased.
