Keira barely got any sleep last night, because she couldn't stop thinking about the merger contract her dad brought up during dinner. According to the contract, the date for the suppose marriage was in a month time.
Keira wished she could just spend the whole day in bed without having to leave the mansion, but she knew that she was expecting a visitor soon, he was suppose to take her out for lunch. Maybe she would be able to convince and ask him why the hell he had a change of heart.
She remembered them coming to an agreement the last time they talked but then he turned around and told her father something else.
"Argggh"
Keira groaned in frustration as she reached out her hand to grab her phone from the bedside table. She saw some messages from Xander and a few missed calls, she wondered how he was still keeping up with her after she ghosted him last night.
Still she ignored his messages, she didn't know what to tell him, she felt bad that he had to get mixed with all her family drama. Truth be told, Kei wished she could just come out and tell the truth about her relationship with Xander, that would make things easier for her but she knew her dad would never accept him.
He had this personal grudge against Xander's father, something that shouldn't even relate to her at all but her father just couldn't let go..'stubborn old man'
Liam Sy
Keira had done a small background check on him the other day but there was nothing she could find, the man was filthy rich and squeaky clean. These goddamn billionaires knew how to hide their secrets, she should know since she was in bed with one.
But Xander was different, calm, soft features, if he ever wanted to go into show business, he could play one of the arch angels. Assuming he keeps his mouth shot because God only knows the kind of dirty words he would spout.
But Liam on the other hand was nothing like Xander, he emitted this cold aura, his presence alone was suffocating. When they had dinner together, Keira acted tough, even though deep down she was a little frightened, she tried her best not to let him know that she was intimidated by his presence. Anyone would, sitting next to a six feet five alpha male, not to talk about his insanely handsome face and that hair styled to perfection.
"Think of the devil" Keira spoke out loud when she saw a notification on her phone with Liam's face on the headline, something about a charity event, normally she would ignore but Liam's face had caught her attention.
A charity gala, but the asshole was going to get an award tonight, something about being the most supportive…in the picture he was putting on a grey suit which matched his metallic grey eyes…those eyes that looked like they held so many secrets, Keira couldn't tell wether she was curious to know the secrets he had locked up or just thankful that they were locked up in the first place.
"Prick" Keira cursed him again before getting up from her bed, she logged into her Apple Music and entered her Billie Elish playlist.
It was just a few minutes past eight, her suppose visitor should be arriving by lunch time so Keira thought she would take a quick bath and then do some office work from home, to mentally prepare herself for her lunch with that Psyco…sorry….her future husband….
...….
Sy Law Firm
Liam sighed as he leaned in on his office chair, he had just finished speaking with one of his associates concerning the case he had coming up in a few days.
The young lad had done some digging on the procecutor and he brought useful information, something Liam could use to sway the judge to his side.
His schedule was pretty tight today because he had to clear up his lunch time, after finding out about Red's little affair with Xander, Liam thought why not kill two birds with one stone, especially if that other bird happened to be one of his biggest rival in the business world.
Truth be told, he had no interest in marrying Keira, he couldn't care less about marrying her but he cared a lot about making Xander suffer and he knew marrying Xander's Lover would do a lot of harm on the fella. That was why he had called Robert Sinclair last night, to arrange this lunch date and to move up the date of the wedding.
Liam glanced at the time on the wall, it was already a few minutes past 11, he was suppose to pick her up by 1pm, he still had time but Liam thought of leaving now so he could go back to his condo and change into something less workaholic.
Not that he mind having her think of him as one but he had a plan of making a stop somewhere else and it would be best if he went out with something casual, to avoid drawing attention to himself. The media was not aware of the merger contract and so he couldn't risk it coming out in the open like that, not before his big announcement in the gala tonight.
Liam packed up his things and got out of his office, joined by his men, he took the elevator to the parking lot and got in his Rolls-Royce.
......
Keira took a glance at the mirror one last time to check out her outfit, she had decided to go with something simple, a black jean and a Red corset top, she matched it with one of her black stilettos.
She had her hair in a messy burn with few strands falling on the side of her face, she had put on light makeup with cherry lipstick.
Casual and beautiful.
"Knock Knock"
"Come in" Keira spoke without looking to check who it was, she guessed it had to be one of the maids.
"Sorry to disturb you Madam, but your father asked me to inform you that Mr Sy is here" The young blonde spoke with a shy smile.
"It's okay Lily, I'll be down in a bit" Keira spoke and then she heard the sound of her bedroom door closing.
"I can do this" Keira said to herself before grabbing her purse and exiting her room, her heels made a click sound as she walked down the stairs slowly.
She could hear the sound of her father laughing, she had no idea that arrogant prick could be funny.
"Oh she's here"
Keira heard her father announce as she looked down to find both men in the living room but it seemed Liam already had his eyes fixed on her. He stood there dressed in a grey woolen turtle neck sleeve that hugged his fine physique, he paired that with a pair of black pants. He had his hair styled just like the other night but this time he looked different, from a distance one could mistake him to be a charming young man.
"Oh God why does he have to be so damn handsome" Keira murmured to herself while she smiled and walked towards them both.
"Good afternoon Mr Sy" Keira spoke with a low tone while trying not to shrink under his intense stare. 'Why the hell was he looking at her like that!'
"Why so formal Kei? Alright you two get going, I trust Liam would take good care of you" Robert spoke before taking his leave.
Keira watched her father leave and then she returned her attention back to the man but he was already heading out.
"Asshole"
Keira cursed before she followed behind him.
She could already tell that this was going to be a hell of lunch date.
