"Liam, your sweet talking is going to be the death of me; I really admire you." Maya tilted her head, lifting her small hand to pinch Liam's chin, playfully scolding him.
"Whatever Maya wants to hear, I'll tell you all about it later." Unfazed by the fact that they were in a public place, Liam gently hugged Maya and whispered softly to her.
"Alright! I'm not going to tease you. You focus on your work; I'll just stay by your side and won't go anywhere."
Maya worried that if she was left alone, James Bennett might start chatting with her again. What would she do then? She couldn't keep avoiding people; it would seem impolite and petty.
Following behind Liam, Maya's mind was still filled with thoughts about James Bennett, pondering over what he had just said and his background.
