LIAM MEETS LUCAS II

"Mas-Dad." Sofia stuttered as she corrected herself from addressing Lucas. "Why didn't you tell me that you are coming? I could have prepared something for you."

"There's no need." Lucas replied as he approached them. "I thought you'd be in bed after what happened. Were you lying to me so you can go out and have a date?"

"Sir, sorry for the sudden interruption but Sofi didn't know I was coming today. I just happened to arrive in this inopportune time. I'm William Hughes by the way." Liam stated and even introduced himself to him.

"I heard so many things about you." Lucas countered with an intimidating gaze which didn't work on Liam at all. He's an officer and he has trained himself to never feel pressure from big wigs. "I was expecting you'd come to the main house and ask for her hand properly. Like a gentleman you ought to be."
