Chapter 54: Inappropriate Compliment

My phone started vibrating against the nightstand which woke me up. I swiped right on the screen without looking at the caller’s ID.

“Hellooo?” I drew out.

“Good afternoon, Isabella.” Somebody greeted from the other side.

“Uhmm, who?” I didn’t recognize the voice in sleepiness.

“Liam here.” He answered calmly and my eyes widened. I sat up straight abruptly, rubbing off the sleep from my eyes.

“Yes?” I asked hesitantly.

He chuckled. “I called you to ask if we can meet & discuss something’s about the project. I have some ideas in mind for it, also we could do lunch together if it’s okay with you…..?” He sounded uncertain.

“Ehh.. okay. When & where?” I agreed.

“I know you’re tired and wanted to relax at home so…. Is it possible that I’ll come to your place & we’ll work there?” My eyebrows knitted together but I didn’t say anything for a few seconds.

“Isabella, are you there?” He asked worriedly when I didn’t speak for a whole 1 minute.
