A taste of humiliation
"I'm sorry to interrupt boss but this ladies were asked to meet you down here to discuss with you sir" Louise said.
Liam had canceled all the meetings he had for today,all he wanted to do was drawn in liquor,hoping to forget the events that played out today.
Liam's eyes scanned the ladies in front of him. The one on the right was a brunette who looked like she was one of those pick me girls,he has had lots of experience with girls like that,he knows exactly what she is like,she wants money and fame and on the left was a blonde,her facial features hidden as her eyes studied the floor.
"Who are they?"Liam asked,setting the drink in his hand on the table. His attention now on Louise and the ladies in front of him.
"We are from New York,I'm charlotte Vince and this is my associate Andrea jones"Charlotte said,her voice low and steady as she spoke to Liam,her eyes hungrily roaming around his body. He was dressed in a black tailored shirt,few buttons left un done showcasing his chest,his hair looked disheveled, as if he'd been running his hands through it repeatedly. Strands fell veiling his forehead. Even in his drunken state,he still looks drop dead gorgeous
"I've never heard of those names,you both look like women who decided to play dress up"
Charlotte face fell at the sound of his voice.
There were two things Liam hated so much,one was lying and the other was pretenders and the lady in front of him was doing both.
Liam didn't have time for this,he had an emotional day,he didn't have it in him to deal with the ladies in front of him.
"Take them away and make sure they never set foot here again" Liam said,his tone dismissive. He picked up his drink and took a big gulp,the bitter content filling his throat.
Louise nodded and tried to do as instructed. He gently placed his hand on Andrea,he was about to do the same with charlotte when she ran towards Liam. She couldn't let the night end without being with Liam,she was determined to make him hers even if it means lying.
"Please,hear me out Liam" charlotte pleaded
Liam had no interest in talking to her
"Louise do your job right"he yelled angrily.
Louise released Andrea and walked towards charlotte but she ran to the other side
"Please,don't let him take me away" charlotte pleaded again
Liam ignored her,talking another gulp from his drink.
Louise reached for charlotte's hand gripping it hard as he dragged her to the door
"Please Liam,just five minutes,I'll make it worth it"charlotte said,her voice dripping with desperation as she tried to break free from Louise's grip.
"You're hurting her"a voice chimed in making Liam raise his head. She walked towards Louise and charlotte.
"Charlotte,what're you doing? I thought we came here to forget Justin,you did all this for him?" She asked angrily,pointing at Liam
Andrea was truly disappointed at the events that played out tonight,she knew coming to a bar dressed all glamorous was a bad idea,she should have listened to her guts and stayed home but she didn't listen and now look where that got her.
Andrea never imagined tonight will go this way,she expected drinking and dancing but not this,she should have spoken up when charlotte used a fake ID to get them in
"I stayed quiet because I thought you had this under control but clearly you don't"Andrea yelled,her face turning red with rage
Liam's gaze locked onto her face the moment he heard the sound of her voice. He got a clear view of her face and it drew him in. He has seen lots of women in his life time but she looked different,something about her captivated his attention. Maybe it was the way her blue eyes flashed angrily as she spoke or the way her spotless olive skin glowed or maybe it was the way a loose strand of hair was covering her eyebrows. He couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly drew him in but he couldn't tear his eyes off her
"What did you think? That he would accept someone he doesn't know with opened arms? He is a billionaire charlotte,he is a freaking billionaire with no emotions,people like him don't care about people like us,all they care about is money and that's all they will ever care about"
Those words seem to dig deep into Liam's heart. She was right,ever since his mother passed away,all that has been on his mind was money,he spent years upon years building himself into what he is now. His main focus has been money,he couldn't help but wonder…Did he make mistakes? Maybe if he focused on other things he might have friends to share his wealth with.
Liam was shocked at his thoughts,he doesn't need friends nor does he make mistakes,the world is a wicked place and all that matters is money. Money is the reason why his mother was taken away from him so he became rich for her.
Charlotte felt a sting of pain at Andrea's words,she knew she was right,what was she thinking? She felt humiliated and embarrassed
"Let's just go home"charlotte said in a low voice,her eyes getting teary from the pain coming from Louise's tight grip on her hand.
Andrea noticed her hand was still tightly gripped by Louise.
"Please Louise,let her go,we will never return here again"she pleaded but Louise didn't budge,his face was back to being rough and emotionless
"Let her go"Liam declared and Louise immediately let go of her hand.
Tears rushed down charlotte's eyes as flashes of everything that happened started coming in. She humiliated herself in front of Liam Walton,she will never stand a chance with him, she will never be able to forgive herself for that.
She walked towards Andrea and pulled her into a hug,Andrea's fruity scent filling her nostrils as she cried,Andrea patted her back softly filling sorry for her.
Andrea disengaged from the hug as they walked towards the door,hand in hand.
"WAIT"
