Chapter 66: A Good Sign



Chapter 66: A Good Sign

Lana looked at the clock and saw it was almost time for lunch, so she stood up and went out. She excused herself, seeing Liam was in a deep discussion with Jorge.

This was why it was not good positioning her inside Liam\'s office. Liam would always be aware whenever she goes out or comes in.

"Lana," she heard Jorge called, so she paused and turned around to look at him.

"Yes," Lana smiled.

"Are you going out for lunch?" Jorge asked with an ear to ear smile. Lana smiled at him and nodded, so he said, "Why not join us for lunch whenever Liam and I are here in the office?"

Lana looked at Liam, who was not responsive.

"Nah! Don\'t mind Liam. I\'m sure he doesn\'t mind having a meal with you as well. Usually his like this, not able to reply to people for such simple matters, you see, Liam has a problem with talking to people unless it\'s about?business or a case or…" Jorge paused, seeing Liam\'s glare.

Liam then looked at Lana and said, "I think having lunch together whenever we\'re here in the office is a good idea. I mean… We can utilise our time by discussing our work and talking about many other things as well… Like some famous cases,"

Jorge pursed his lips and shook his head, hearing Liam\'s weird invitation to Lana. No wonder their father did not trust him about wooing Lana without his assistance. He could not even ask Lana in a boyfriend-like manner to join him for lunch everyday… even such a simple task was not achievable for him… \'Huh! What a waste!\'

Jorge laughed and seconded Liam\'s words.

"Here, come and sit with us. I have already ordered enough food for us. It will arrive any moment." Jorge explained. Lana sat beside Liam as signaled by Jorge.

She would usually have her lunch in the cafeteria where all the young girls would gossip about office lawyers and kept giggling and squealing if any of the handsome faces appeared near them. She would rather have a meal with the two men.

"By the way, Lana, our company is going to hold it\'s annual anniversary celebration in two days. You will have to attend it and should not miss it." Jorge commented with a smile.

Liam nodded his head in agreement at Jorge but suddenly interrupted and said, "I think you should avoid getting drunk. They usually get drunk and also force others in various ways to drink… Please save some grace and make sure you won\'t get drunk there."

Lana rolled her eyes. Liam was exaggerating, reminding her about it, that too so early when that event was scheduled in two days. But she zipped up her lips instead of defending herself because she was immediately reminded of the embarrassing scenes she did with Liam when drunk.

Her face unconsciously reddened with embarrassment.

Jorge was grinning and could not help himself but to tease the two of them, "Is there something that you both are hiding from me? Did anything happen between you two that I don\'t know of? What\'s going on between you two? Perhaps something happened that night between you both? Spill out, spill out guys..."

"Shut up Jorge and follow up our order," Liam scolded.

"Let me do it." Lana offered and got the number of the restaurant from Jorge. She excused herself to make a call.

Seeing her retreating figure, Jorge rushed towards Liam and asked in his interrogative tone, "So… Tell me fast what happened between you both that night. Is father right? He said you did not come home and arrived only the next morning. Now... now… Liam Sy tell me right now fast… quick.".

Liam squinted his eyes at him and knew he needed to stop this burning tongue of Jorge. He perfectly knew how that could be done.

"Well, I arrived home just-in-time Jorge, to see you sneaking out from Miley\'s room? So, now you tell me, did you sleep in her room the entire night?" Liam countered with a raised eyebrow.

Jorge gulped. He woke up late from Miley??s bed and it was too irresponsible of him being caught like that without him knowing.

"You know, Miley…" Jorge whispered in a guilty tone. So those footsteps he heard that time was Liam\'s while he sneakily ran out from Miley\'s room.

Liam shook his head and added, "I know you too and trust you Jorge so don\'t you dare break that trust. It\'s time for you to decide now and be responsible for whatever choice you want to make."

Jorge scratched his head at how the situation turned. He was dumbfounded when he realised that it was him who was supposed to be teasing Liam, but ended up being the culprit and getting Liam\'s scolding. He did not complain though. He understood Liam\'s concerns very well. He heaved a long sigh and did not give Liam any answer because he was still struggling for the answer.

Liam was about to add some more salt into the grain, but Lana was back just in time to save Jorge\'s butt.

They sat down at the couch in his office and ate their lunch in Liam\'s pantry and the three of them had some quiet and funny enjoyable conversations with Lana and Jorge being actively talking while Liam listened most of the time or would just occasionally interrupt with a few words now and then.

"By the way, tomorrow, I won\'t come to work." Lana took her chance to inform Liam.

"Why?" Liam and Jorge asked in chorus.

Lana chuckled and replied, "Some personal and business matters."

"Like what?" Jorge asked, and Liam for the first time appreciated Jorge for being a nosy body that he was.

"Hmm, business at my mom\'s company. I\'m the COO so I have an important meeting to settle. Personal matter, have to go about checking on my car." Lana comfortably shared.

"Oh, I see…" Jorge commented with a meaningful grin thrown at Liam.

"I guess tomorrow will be an active day for me and Andrew." Jorge agonized that made Lana laugh.

Liam stared at Lana, laughing every once in a while eating and he unconsciously smiled without him knowing. Jorge smiled, seeing that… It was a good sign that Liam\'s shut out door was slowly opening again.

He knew about Gale and she was the reason Liam stood up on his feet and made the Sy Law Firm to where it was making a name on his own like Gilbert.

After that incident about Liam\'s mother, he never smiled and entertained any woman in his life but Gale came and he once again smiled but then Gale broke him into pieces… Only him and Miley knew about this but not their father…

He wondered what Liam felt when he met Gale today after so many years. That topic was too delicate to ask or banter with Liam, so Jorge\'s mouth was always zipped for that. Because knowing Liam, it would be best not to ask unless he opened up first.
