Lara placed the files in front of Liam and said with a soft smile," Please sign these files boss…". He looked at her with delicate eyes before opening them and going through them before signing.
After a few seconds, Lara looked at Miles and spoke." Mr. Miles… I can give you an opportunity to spend time with Maria… Do you want it??", she asked.
Miles eyes immediately glowed." Yes of course!!", Miles exclaimed while moving his head up and down in excitement.
Lara chuckled at his reaction before speaking," I promised to take her out shopping today, but I have some important files to do as well… So you can go with her instead of me…. But I must warn you that she might end up making you her assistant…".
" No issues…", Miles immediately replied.
Lara pulled out her phone and called Lara." Hi girl!!.", she said when Maria answered." Hey sis!!", she replied in excitement.
" So see… I have some important work at the company and will not be able to go with you for shopping…. Shall I send over one of my guy friends??", she asked.
" Hmmm… Okay… No problem..", she replied after a few seconds." Great… I'll send you his contact and picture….. He'll be there in a while, so get ready….. And for Goodness's sake, do not get yourself into trouble…", Lara replied.
Maria laughed in the other end." Sure thing..", she replied while laughing. Lara then hung up. She turned and took a quick pic of Miles face and sent it along with his contact info.
Miles was surprised when his photo was clicked without warning." Hey Lara!! Are you sure the picture you took looked good??.. I am not questioning your skills but I mean if I looked good??..
I think I didn't give a proper smile… I think you might want to take another one…", Miles started asking nervously while looking at his reflection on the glass paned walls of Liam's office. He was trying to adjust his medium length hair a bit.
Lara chuckled at his nervousness." Never try to act like a perfect person if you want to pursue a girl… Let her see and know your imperfections so that she can accept you for who you are… Just be yourself…
Don't worry, with my amazing photography skills, even if you looked a little like an idiot, the photo naturally came out pretty well… And plus, it is still your first unofficial date, so that much perfection is not needed….", she replied.
The last sentence was meant to tease Miles and it worked. His face turned red.
Liam made a self note of Lara's words. Do not act perfect, be yourself, show your imperfections…. Hmmm…
She then sent Miles her contact. The next minute Miles phone dinged. He opened and saw a message from Maria.
Miles smiled happily before giving Lara a quick hug and said," Thank you… Thank you so soooo much!!!". He then pulled out before she could say anything.
Liam was almost going to get up and kick Miles's ass for hugging his girl. But then he controlled himself. He didn't want to look like a vinegar tub even though he was one.
Calm down Liam…. Calm down…. Keep your image… Don't act like a control freak…. Deep breath in.. Deep breath out…. He said to himself.
" Remember-", Lara started, but Miles interrupted her." I will never hurt her..", he said before hopping out of Liam's cabin.
Liam looked at Miles's running figure and sighed. When was he going to get the courage to confess.
You are lucky bro…. Hope you can have a great relationship with her…. He thought.
He continued signing while Lara was patiently waiting for him.
After a while, Lara spoke." Umm.. Boss?? Can I ask you a question??", she asked him hesitantly. Liam stopped signing and looked up and nodded his head asking her to continue.
" You found your love didn't you??!!", she asked him excitedly. He was surprised and speechless." I am taking your silence as a yes…", Lara said with a smile.
Liam just smiled back. How much he wished he could tell her that he loved her.
" Well boss… I wish you good luck in your relationship…. Just be quick in confessing before it becomes too late…", she said while picking the signed files and walking out.
Liam leaned back on his chair and sighed. I should confess fast…. He thought.
