Chapter 144: Announce To Everyone

"Liam.. I heard Gracy here is still single like you.." Liam drifted out of his dreamland when he heard one of the board members speak fishy words, who was at his table with Gracy.

"Yeah, Gracy is still single, true... but... I'm already taken." He answered directly with a smile, making others who heard him yell in shock, knowing his hateful behaviour with women in the past.

They all couldn't help but wonder who that woman could be, who was able to tame a man like Liam Sy.

Gracy was so annoyed by his answer that she quickly changed the topic of the conversation, so the people didn't dwell on that response a lot and she could enjoy as the sole partner of Liam in the party as Lana was not to attend the party.

She was gloating in her fortune already and was planning her next moves to capture more of Liam's attention and also to execute her final and deadly plan for Liam.

Liam, on the other hand, shifted his gaze back to the entrance and smiled when he finally saw that beautiful face, which quickened his heartbeats whenever he looked at her. Lana entered the party hall along with Miley and Jorge, and Liam just kept staring at her breathlessly. He could not take his eyes off her.

How he wished he could dash to her side and take her in his arms as he saw Lana coming closer towards him. He gasped on how mesmerizing Lana was looking in her dress.

She wore a short fit and flare grey purple dress featured with embellished spaghetti straps, and sheer bodice with plunging neckline. Her beautiful curves made the dress look extremely exquisite.

Her natural looks with minimal makeup and naturally flowing hair made everyone turn their heads towards her and admire her beauty. She was like a queen walking elegantly in her kingdom with pride written all over her aura.

He gulped, seeing how almost all the men looked at his wife as a prey. At that moment, his heart was burning, and he felt like gauging all those eyes off those men and hiding Lana away from other's eyes. He hated anyone ogling at her. He wanted to hide her away and cover Lana within his embrace.

'Or maybe I should just pull her out from here?' Liam thought but frowned in annoyance because he knew Lana was still angry at him.

He put his glass of drinks on the table and got up to walk towards Lana.

"Where are you going?" Gracy whispered when she noticed Liam was about to leave.

"To my woman, where else?" Liam answered, frowning, not minding whether or not others would hear it. To be honest, he wanted his relationship with Lana to be public if not only because of Lana's condition to keep it confidential.

Gracy's face crumpled while she looked in the direction of Liam's eyes.

'That bi*ch! She couldn't stop herself from coming here after all!' Gracy quietly growled. One corner of her lips lifted while she mused, 'Let's play this game then, Ms. Lana Huang, and then see who played it better.. Let me also see what it is that you have and how well you can handle my game!'

Gracy made a call and said on the other line, "She is here finally. Handle her as planned!" Then she quickly ended the call.

She then made her move and rushed to walk with Liam with a sweet smile plastered on her face. She didn't want to leave a single chance of being by Liam's side

"Miley! You look gorgeous," Gracy burst and hugged Miley. Then looked at Lana and greeted her. Lana only nodded.

"Lana, I have something to discuss with you. Please follow me." Liam almost begged with his eyes directed towards Lana.

"Liam.. It's time for the party so don't bother Lana about work. Let Lana enjoy the evening with the rest of the interns." Gracy interrupted.

Miley's eyebrows raised, and she embraced Gracy's hand to pull her away from the couple while whispering, "Gracy, let's enjoy the night instead of bothering the married couple and interfering in their personal affairs. My brother can't take his possessive eyes off his beautiful and sexy wife, and it's not good to meddle in a loving relationship."

Gracy wanted to pull Miley's hair that instant for ruining her evening but she faked a smile and replied, "Yeah, you're right Miley. Let's then enjoy the night."

Liam went on a vacant table and pulled a chair for Lana.

Lana's heart was pounding like a drum ever since she saw Liam walking towards her in his royal blue, three piece suit, accompanied with one of the red neckties they bought together. He was striking as lightning with his elegant and handsome walk, looking deep into her eyes.

She gasped and inhaled deeply to control herself from unmasking herself, and by the time she could get a hold of herself she felt his hand on her wrist and was dragged by him to sit in the secluded corner surrounded by his presence and his beauty.

"What is it? We should not stay together for very long. Everyone's eyes will be on us,??? she asked as soon as she sat.

"So?" Liam countered.

"So? Didn't you arrive here with Gracy hand in hand with her? Hasn't she been walking with you like your partner for the evening? Why do you even need me here then? Even otherwise, it won't be good to raise any suspicions about us in the company. I'm sure everyone who has seen you enter with your childhood sweetheart must think you two are an item." Lana mumbled.

"Is that so? Then let's make those rumors die down.. Mrs. Lana Sy, let us announce right here, right now to everyone that we are a couple, a married couple.. That's the best way out, neither I have to explain anyone else about Gracy nor will people misunderstand anything about us." Liam answered, leaning close to her with a smirk, staring into her eyes, hoping against hope that Lana would agree.

Lana's throat was parched, and she didn't know what she should do next. As stubborn as she was, she only ended up spitting out her anger on him and though she somewhere regretted it in her heart, she couldn't help being herself.

His beautiful words that he spoke finally were forming ripples in her heart, and she knew he meant each and every word he said..

His feelings had been everywhere around him for many days and she only needed to pick them up and embrace all the happiness.. but could she?

Was she good enough for a gem like Liam? He needed love in his life. If her past made her a monster someday what would she do?
