NovelEnglishChapter 44: THE DEAL
So let me get this straight, you want to find out what Liam is truly in town for and make him leave from here as soon as possible?" asked Edward with a sceptical look in his eyes.
Alicia looked him in the eyes quietly and answered him with, "I know what you think Eddy, but no, he doesn't scare me in the slightest, but he does want to mess with Noah, and no one messes with what's mine. I need him gone from here, he is too cunning that even I can't see through he schemes." Edward nodded his head slightly and said, "If Noah hears about this I might get into a lot of trouble, … FINE, but I need you to do something for me in return."
Alicia raised her right brow and smiled as acknowledgment.

Edward almost kicked himself the moment James was mentioned, saying that he didn't like James was an understatement, he truly hated the man. He was simply too despicable for him to get along with. Edward looked at the petite woman in front of him for a few seconds and asked, "There is a question I've been meaning to ask you since I came home, Are you happy?" Alicia smiled at his question and answered him with, "Yes, yes I am happy Edward." He nodded his head accordingly after Alicia's answer.
Edward left the room after a few seconds of loathing James.

The next day,…
IN ALICIA'S OFFICE:
The door was opened suddenly while Alicia's head was down looking at the documents, she had been neglecting because of the mess her brother had gotten her into. She was still going to get revenge for the whole mess, but then again Chris was too easy to deal with.
Without bothering to look up Alicia quickly spoke and said, "Mike, I know you basically own me because of the bet we made about the last law suit my brother made us loose, but can you try to pretend that I'm your boss for today? James is having a meeting with me about the acquisition remember."

This Mike guy seems to get along with Alicia in a way which he hasn't yet, she even mentions that he owns her, 'HE WISHES'. Liam spoke harshly and said, "I hate this Mike guy of yours already, why does he own you suddenly?"
Alicia looked up hastily and when her eyes landed on Liam, she halted and blinked her eyes repeatedly with her mouth left agape. She didn't know that it would be Liam opening the door, if she had known before, she wouldn't have mentioned the whole thing about Mike so easily.
Alicia smiled nervously under Liam's gaze and said, "You can't throw a jealousy fit right now Liam, seriously you're a grown man to be doing this."
Liam did not answer her at all, and simply walked towards her desk and sat next to her silently, Alicia was speechless, how can he act like a baby right now?"
Mike walked into the office a few seconds later, the moment Alicia smiled at him he felt a cold chill from the man who was seated next to Alicia. Mike was speechless, all he did was walk into the room and now he was going to be murdered. The moment Alicia finished signing the documents he had brought, he ran out of the office as if his life depended on it, and in such circumstances, his life really did depend on it.
