"WAIT"Liam called out making Andrea and charlotte stop dead in their tracks
They both turned their heads to see Liam walking towards them. Excitement surged through charlotte veins as she watched him take every step. Her mind racing with thoughts,has liam decided to change his mind and hear her out?
Andrea's eyes angrily eyed liam with annoyance,all she wanted right now,was to go home and lay down.
"You"he stopped in front of Andrea,his eyes roaming around her face.
Looking at her up close,she was even more beautiful than he thought.
"What is it now,billionaire? You want to tell us to stay away from your bar? We got that already"Andrea said,rolling her eyes,her tone laced with sarcasm
Seeing her eyes roll made Liam smile,a gesture that unexpectedly teleported Liam's mind back to his childhood. She reminds him of his mother and how she would roll her eyes every time his father came home drunk.
Liam remembers a day his father came back home late and drenched in rain,his mother angrily opened the door for him and served his food food,he tried to kiss her but she stepped backwards and rolled her eyes,her cheeks tainting with blush.
Did Liam just smile at a memory of his mother without blaming himself? Since she passed away,Liam haven't had any happy thoughts,his mind always goes back to the way she was brutally stabbed in front of him.
But because of this woman in front of him,he was able to think happy thoughts about his mother without his mind wandering off to her death.
"Andrea"Liam called softly,making her look into his eyes.
There was something about the way her name smoothly rolled off his tongue that made butterflies erupt in her stomach.
The moment she looked into his eyes,everything else faded leaving only his piercing black eyes in sight,His eyes drifted from her eyes to her lips. She'd had lots of men look at her,some with lust and some with admiration but she couldn't tell what was going through Liam's head as he continued to look into her eyes. She didn't want to tear her eyes off his,it felt his eyes were having silent conversations with hers.
Charlotte heart stung with jealousy as she watched Liam's eyes admire Andrea. She couldn't understand what was going on but she didn't like it. Liam should be looking at her like that,admiring her like that,not Andrea.
Every man charlotte has ever had eyes on,always had eyes on her friend,she is not going to allow history repeat itself. She didn't know how exactly she was going to do it but she was going to make Liam Walton hers.
"Andrea"charlotte called softly breaking Andrea out of the trance she had on Liam's eyes.
Andrea fixed her attention back on her friend,who had tears brimming in her eyes as she spoke. "I'm sorry for putting you through this,I just thought getting with Liam would help me forget Justin. Liam has been my crush for years,I just needed this"she confessed.
Andrea felt pity for her friend,she got so lost in yelling she forgot about charlotte's breakup.
"Liam,could you please hear my friend out?"she asked,her eyes flashed with desperation.
It was Liam's turn to be confused,his eyebrows furrowed deeply as he scanned the lady next to Andrea. Tear marks covered her cheeks,her eyes red and puffy from all the crying,her hair sticking to her face. Liam truly had no interest in listening to anything she had to say but for the sake of Andrea,he will.
"Three minutes"he declared,charlotte face lit up with hope
Three minutes was all charlotte needed to convince Liam that she is the right woman for him
"Common big guy,let's give them privacy"Andrea said,looking at Louise but his eyes scanned Liam waiting for an answer that would determine his next line of action.
"Make sure no on goes near her"he instructed,his eyes wandering back to Andrea's face.
"I can take care of myself billionaire"she snapped at him and shot charlotte a small smile. "I'm only one scream away,call me if he tries anything" Andrea shot Liam a glare and made her way out of the room with Liam trailing behind her.
Charlotte took a deep breath before settling on the coach beside Liam. She never imagined this day will come where she would be seating next to the man of her dreams.
"I don't have the whole night. Speak"Liam commanded,his patience running out
"It's an honor to meet you"charlotte started,her eyes scanning his chiseled jawline,he looks better now than on the news.
How can a man look so good,she thought to herself as she continued to gaze at him.
Irritation crept in as he felt her gaze burn through him
"I won't ask again. Speak"He couldn't hide the irritation in his voice.
He was dreading every part of this,today didn't go as planned,the meeting with his father earlier on,ruined his day and now this lady seated next to him is stepping on his last nerve.
"I've a proposal that would benefit you and bring your more business deals"
Charlotte knew the right cards to flip,if everything Andrea said about Liam earlier was true then it will be easy to get him tangled in her web.
Liam instantly grew interested in what she had just said,maybe she wasn't bad after all but what could a grown woman playing dress up possibly offer him?
"Keep talking"He commanded,his tone firm.
"You're well known as los Angelos most handsome eligible bachelor,now imagine you had a girlfriend,you will not only get more business deals but you will also get more respect" charlotte said in hopes of getting him to give in to her idea
Liam's face etched with confusion
"How will a girlfriend bring me more business deals?"
"Everybody respects a man who is able to keep a woman,you're a great man and having a woman next to you will bring more praises and deals. People will not only see you as a good man but they will also see you as a committed man and that's where business starts coming in,if rumors starts going around that you've been committed to one woman for a year or more,people will trust you more with their companies and shares. After all,they say a man who can stay committed to a woman can stay committed to anything"
The small smile that appeared on Liam's lips made charlotte realize that she has successfully trapped him into her web.
Liam didn't like the idea of being committed to a woman but for more business deals,he could do that and maybe if he gets a girlfriend,his father will stop pressuring him to take care of Lucas family because he will have a family of his own.
"Should I drop my digits so we could discuss further about it?"charlotte asked,her eyes brimming with excitement
"There will be no need for that,please leave"Liam pleaded but it sounded more like a command
Charlotte angrily got up from the chair and walked out without spearing Liam another gaze. She has never felt so rejected in her life. She tricked a bouncer because of him,wore her nicest dress and even used her most expensive perfume because of him ,she even came up with a brilliant plan that would make him richer but he seems uninterested in all the effort she has made.
"He is jerk,let's get out of here"
Andrea nodded and they both walked out of the club.
"Keep an eye on the blonde"
