Chapter 418: Insanely Difficult

Lana had wrapped up her work for today and was back at Liam\'s apartment. She looked at the wall clock with flaring nostrils. It was past seven in the evening but Liam was still not back and he did not even reply to any of her messages at all.

"Until when does he plan to be so cold towards me?" she murmured with pouty lips. She was already hungry so she ate dinner by herself. She was contemplating whether she should call the man and check if everything was well. She was getting worried.

After eating and cleaning up the table, she grabbed her mobile phone and dialed Liam\'s number in the end.

She sighed when it kept ringing for several minutes and when Liam finally answered, she quickly spoke.

"Hello, Liam…"

"Yes?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to check if you are alright. I was getting worried since you\'re not back yet."

"I will be late, need to look after an important matter. I have to go now…"

Lana was about to ask if he had dinner but she already heard the end-call tone. Her shoulders dropped as she walked back inside her room. She got ready to sleep and set an alarm on her mobile phone before midnight to check if Liam was back home.

Liam on the other hand put his mobile back on the table after he ended the call and he looked at his team with a straight face.

"Any suggestions on how we should rectify this matter?" Liam asked.

Each one of his top lawyers gave their opinions, except for Daryl who simply said, "We won\'t have this problem if you agree with the arranged marriage."

"How about you go for it instead?" Liam grunted wryly.

Daryl scratched his head and said, "I can try…"

Everyone laughed, taking what Daryl lightly. They assumed he was trying to lighten the mood.

"If I do manage to get the clients back with Kenzie\'s help, what will you do for me in return?" Daryl said with a serious tone.

"Woah, looks like Daryl\'s playboy mode is on now," one of the lawyers commented.

"And how will you do that Daryl? I don\'t want you to get into any kind of trouble, okay? So let\'s be serious and behave like professionals." Liam scolded.

"But I\'m serious…" Daryl insisted but stopped himself from saying anything further as Liam\'s gaze at him sharpened.

The rest of the people inside the room were actually thankful for Daryl\'s presence, ever since their CEO had become more serious and strict, Daryl served as their ice breaker from all the tension whenever their CEO was around.

Liam then opened a discussion on the next topic at hand.

"Leo unexpectedly left us so I will be watching you guys since some of you are deserving candidates for the COO position…"

"I will double-check everyone\'s contribution to the company and it will have a huge contribution in me choosing the best man for this position.

Daryl was the one who wanted that position but he was aware that it would not be easy since three more lawyers in the room were as competitive as him, if not more. He would be able to get that position easily if he could secure back the clients they lost.

And his target to accomplish that goal was Kenzie Chua since she was the only weakness of Mr. Chua.

*****

At Liam\'s apartment.

After a few hours, Lana woke up by the alarm she had set on her mobile phone. She immediately got up and went to the adjacent room to check if Liam was finally back. She walked towards his room and gently opened the door.

She sighed in relief, seeing him deep in sleep on his bed with his little snores. It was almost midnight… He looked so tired and exhausted.

Lana carefully moved to join him on his bed. Her movements were so smooth that she easily tucked herself inside his quilt. She smiled bashfully when she felt Liam\'s warmth. She did not dare to hug him because she was afraid he might wake up and get angry at her.

What she did was close her eyes and go back to sleep.

After a few hours had passed, Liam moved and opened his eyes as he felt something on his waist. He opened his eyes to see what it was and his eyes rounded, seeing Lana\'s face just a few inches from his.

Her arms were wrapped around his waist. He cursed inwardly because he instantly felt his lower body react to the brushing of her skin against his.

Liam was too tired and sleepy when he got home but he still looked for Lana in each room and only went to bed when he saw her already sleeping in the room adjacent to his.

Then he jumped over to his bed to sleep as soon as he was done cleaning and changing into his sleepwear.

Liam stared at her peaceful face for some time. He still had mixed emotions. He was mad but at the same time grateful that she was back in his arms. He unconsciously smiled at the thought of Lana throwing herself shamelessly on him.

"Didn\'t she know that I will turn into a big bad wolf if she continues this?" he whispered with a grin but then recalled his stance and immediately changed his soft expression into a serious and frowning one.

It was morning already, time for him to wake up but his body did not want to get up at all. Not until Lana moved. Liam panicked, so he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Lana gently opened her eyes and smiled. She successfully managed to sleep beside Liam without him realizing it.

"What a deep sleeper." She murmured before gently and carefully moving to give him a quick kiss on his lips and quietly getting up from bed to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

Liam opened his eyes as soon as he heard the door close. He gulped and raised his hand to touch his lips with his fingers.

"It will be nothing but pure torture for me if this continues…" he whispered with conflicted emotions. It had only been two days and he could feel his wall was easily crumbling down.

"This is not good…" Liam whispered. In his opinion, he should at least test Lana for a month or two.

He heaved a long, deeply frustrated sigh. He could not believe how easy he could be. The mere scent of Lana was driving him crazy, controlling himself a while ago, from grabbing her and pinning her down beneath him, felt insanely difficult.

"Good luck, Liam…" he whispered, annoyed before he immediately got up from bed because he needed a very cold shower.
