The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 24

“Missed me?” the man’s voice rang softly in Ciara’s ears.

Hearing his voice, she blushed a little, well she did kind of missed him but she wasn’t about to tell him that, now would she. Hence she smiled at him and whispered.

“Hey, the food Will go cold, let’s eat.”

She took out the food which was now slightly warm and set the food boxes as well as the utensils on the coffee table And they started eating.

It was Liam’s first meal of the day which means that he was definitely starving but he still ate gracefully with his table manners still intact. They ate in silence until they were both full. Liam isn’t that much of a foodie but when it comes to Ciara’s cooking, he would surely wipe his plate clean.

When they were done with their meal Liam called his junior assistant for someone to come and clean up the dishes. And in no time, someone came in and cleaned up. Once they were gone, Liam and Ciara chilled on the sofa for a while. Snuggling next to Liam, Ciara spoke.

“Hey you never told me how the party went, did you enjoy yourself?”

“well it was alright, but I Met a woman.” right at that moment, he felt Ciara’s body stiffen so he intensely looked at her face he wanted to capture all of her expressions.

“Is she pretty?” right after that question was dropped her lips twitched, she wanted to slap her face so hard. She just didn’t understand why her body would betray her this bad. She didn’t want to hear the answer. But still, as if she didn’t have control of her body, her eyes looked at Liam while expecting an answer from him.

“well yeah,…. But not as beautiful as my lovely Ciara.” he smiled trying to reassure her, but alas the seed of doubt was already planted in Ciara’s heart.

Although she was flattered by Liam’s complement, she still just couldn’t remove the fear that lingered in her heart. She was just scared that Liam would go for that woman instead.

“do you like her?” Liam didn’t hate Annie for sure so he answered honestly.

“well, I don’t hate her.” his response rendered Ciara speechless. Fed up with everything, she picked up her bag ready to get the hell out of that office. But before she could take the first step, with a serious voice she asked.

“what’s her name?” seeing that she was really pissed off and was about to leave, Liam started to panic, he shot straight to where she was.

“Hey hey, don’t go. I Was just pulling your leg. I’m sorry.”

“OK, but tell me what’s her name.”

“Annie Winston”

“You mean Annie the Mayor’s daughter?”.

Now all the anger and disappointment in Ciara’s eyes were all gone, only amusement left, if Liam looked at her carefully he would have noticed that but now he was panicking, so he missed it all.

“yes, but I swear, I don’t love her at all.”

“hahaha hahaha” Ciara’s barely contained laughter was heard. She laughed so hard, even Liam just stood there not knowing what to do.

“Hey you do know that she’s not in to guys right? So I’m more of her type than you are. Hahaha.”

Now it was Liam’s turn to get jealous, and also felt threatened by her laugh. With one brow raised, he looked at her and tried to crush her hopes.

“you do know that she has a girlfriend right, so even if you are her type, there’s nothing you could do about that. How do you know her anyway “

” how would you feel if I tell you she is my ex, huh” but instead of answering Liam’s face displayed a bit of anger, so she quickly told him.

“I’m joking, she’s a distant relative. My grann liked her a lot and used to take the both of us for Martial arts training since we were young. So amongst everyone at home, she’s been the nicest towards me. Now don’t you ever play that trick on me”

after seeing how she had reacted, he too vowed within himself never to scare her like that again. So he meaningfully nodded his head, asserting to what she said.

With the misunderstanding being cleared out of the way they both chilled for a while, but because Liam had a lot to do so he left her to rest a little on the couch and he proceeded with his work. He would from time to time raise his head and look at the beautiful woman who had fallen asleep on the couch.

One of the senior managers came to his office to report some work related stuff while submitting the documents needed. As soon as he walked in, he noticed a beautiful woman sleeping in the big boss’ office. When Liam noticed that the man kept stealing glances at the sleeping woman he stood up and carried her to the break room.

This action of his made the manager even more curious he was wondering about the identity of the woman who can steal his boss’ heart. He had never been seen with a woman before, and had turned down all those who threw themselves at him. Those who persisted where punished accordingly.

So who is this woman.
