Chapter 128: Act Of Nonchalance

Lana was not in a great mood after lunch because of Gracy. Her provocative actions were almost intolerable for her. She sighed because she knew she overreacted and the worst part of everything was that she willingly did all that. Even if Liam didn\'t ask her to, she would have still behaved the same way.

She involuntarily looked on her glass wall and saw Liam looking at her with a wide grin on his face. He was clearly thrilled with everything that happened during lunch. Lana felt more annoyed seeing him so happy, and she made a face before closing her blinds.

"He is obviously so happy to have a shield protecting him against all the flies. But why does he have to attract so many of them?" Lana mumbled, knowing how Liam apparently enjoyed the subtle fight between her and Gracy.

Lana engaged herself in the work and when a few hours passed, the buzzing intercom disturbed her concentration.

It was Liam calling her, asking her to see him. Lana immediately stood up and went to him. He was sitting on the couch and going through documents.

"Sit down and have coffee with me." Liam instructed and Lana noticed there were two cups of coffee already and some snacks.

"Do you want to go with me tomorrow?" Liam asked.

Lana\'s eyes sparkled, knowing Liam was talking about Gale\'s trial?that would begin tomorrow.

"Yes, I definitely will…" Lana excitedly answered while Liam nodded.

"We will leave the office early today. It\'s not good to make your friends wait." Liam thought to say to break the silence while Lana was going through some papers as well.

Lana pursed her lips. Keira was like an alarm clock calling her since morning to remind her about tonight\'s dinner at her house. She just got drunk last night, and she was once again going to be drunk tonight, knowing her friends well.

Meanwhile, Liam glanced at Lana, who was still very quiet. She seemed to be in her own deep thoughts about something.

He was itching to compliment Lana for her superb performance during lunch and giving a befitting reply to Gracy. He must admit… He just loved it so much whenever she acted possessively towards him, how he wished she actually felt possessive for him.

"I liked it… Your acting possessive towards me. I feel safe and secure." Liam could not help but voice out his delight for Lana\'s actions.

Lana stopped what she was doing and darted her eyes on Liam, who was also looking at her.

He was smiling handsomely at her, and Lana\'s voice was nowhere to be found. She was about to say something when Liam added, "I don\'t mind you act like that often. I think later we will both need to do a little more such acting in front of your friends. Or are they aware about our set-up."

"They don\'t know anything…" Lana whispered with dropped shoulders.

Liam\'s eyebrows knitted while he asked, "What\'s your plan then? Tell me in advance so I can act accordingly. Do you want to tell them or do we need to convince them we are husband and wife in reality and are not faking it?"

Lana heaved a long sigh before answering, "I don\'t have any plans to tell them or else they will kill me with their scolding and later sell me as well to get another man."

"Hmm, then let\'s play like a good and adorable couple." Liam suggested with a grin.

"Why do I feel like you\'re enjoying everything to its best?" Lana grunted with pressed lips.

"Me?" Liam answered exaggeratedly.

"Lana… I\'m too busy to spare time to enjoy those kinds of childish things. Why do you feel as if I\'m enjoying it? Of course I don\'t, but I\'m glad and grateful that you\'re at my side to help me out in such situations. Though, Gracy had not approached me yet or said anything indicating her interest in pursuing me, but still I want to keep my guard up." Liam nonchalantly explained.

"And you\'re doing great at that, like what you did during lunch. Keep it up." Liam added, trying his best not to curve his lips in a mischievous smile.

\'Oh God… How long do I need to keep up with this act of nonchalance?\' Liam silently complained. He had to be very careful with every word he spoke, making sure it was safe to land into Lana\'s ears.

He was very nervous to get caught by Lana any moment while he was trying to hide his feelings from her.

Meanwhile, Keira was busy preparing for an exquisite dinner in her garden when May and Drey arrived together with their spouses.

Soon Lana and Liam took off to go to Keira\'s house when Liam stopped over at a boutique.

"Let\'s buy something for your friends first. I heard they already have children…. Let\'s buy something for the kids as well." Liam commented and went out of the car. Lana quickly opened the door and went out and followed him.

She smiled without her knowing as she followed Liam inside the boutique. It was very thoughtful of Liam to remember to buy gifts for her friends and even their kids, and Lana was somehow overwhelmed by this action of his.

"I\'m not sure what are the things your friend will like." Liam said while they looked inside of things to buy.

Lana smiled while she looked around.

"Keira almost has everything, so it\'s hard to give her a present. May is the easiest one since she likes to cook and eat. Drey… Hmmm, he\'s a general…" Lana amusingly stated as she looked for the best present for her dearest friend.

"You seem to deeply love and adore your friends," Liam commented.

Lana smiled and said, "Yup. They are also my family, Liam. The three of them have helped me cope with my life and gather my feet together to surpass my dark past." Lana opened up without her knowing.

She paused, realizing she was suddenly opening up to Liam with regards to her past, so she quickly diverted the topic and picked up things suitable for her friends.
