Found Again

“Can you not meet Liam?” She pleaded.

My forehead creased from her request. What’s with Liam? Why Anne is so affected by the fact that I will meet the guy.

“Give me a reason why do I need to follow your request.” I challenged her.

I don’t have any plan to follow her request but I may consider it if she will give me a valid reason.

Anne looks at me intently. She was trying to read my mind but I just remained poker face.

“Liam will surely ask you about me.” She said.

I frowned. “Why will he ask about you? I mean our meeting has nothing to do with you, the meeting is purely business.”

Anne’s expression did not change. It was serious and so sure of her statement.

“What’s with you and him?” I asked curiously.

“It’s none of your business. Just promise me that you will cancel your meeting with him and you will never meet him again or I’ll steal Andrew from you.” She warned me.

The concern I felt for her vanished. How could I forget that this girl is different from what she was before? Now, her real intention is finally revealed. I should have recorded our conversation so I can just make Andrew listen to it.

I smirked. “You have been doing that for the past two years, and yet Andrew was still madly in love with me,” I said confidently.

She was not affected by what I said, she just gave me the same smirk I’ve given her. “I did not do any move to him yet. Believe it or not, I still value the friendship that we had for the past years that’s why I never made a move on your boyfriend.”

I must admit that my confidence crumble by what she just said. Anne smile wickedly at me as if she was able to read my mind.

I clenched my fist trying to control myself because I didn’t like the victorious look that she is giving me.

Then, I suddenly thought of a rebut that will surely crush her arrogance. “Do that and if you succeed in stealing him from me then I might consider seducing Liam since you told me that I’m good at seducing men.”

As expected, Anne’s face changed to hatred.

I only had three hours of sleep. I finished my presentation for my meeting with Platinum very late.

I will go straight to Platinum’s main office. I was so tired with the long flight and argument with Anne. I ask our family driver to drive for me.

As we are already on our way to Platinum, I can’t help but think of Anne and Liam. She was so affected by this meeting that she lost her temper. Anne is really good when it comes to concealing her true emotion but Liam is the exception. And that reaction of her made me more curious about them.

I was already in Platinum’s main office. Liam’s secretary was the one who meet me in the lobby. He guides me to Liam’s office.

My heart is beating so fast. I’m a bit confused because I never felt nervous in any of my business meetings. And I know that the nervousness I am feeling now is not because of work but because of Anne.

Anne is certain that Liam will ask me about her.

“Good morning Ms. Alonzo!” Liam stood up and greeted me as soon as he saw me in his office.

I smiled at him. “Good morning Mr. Valencia!” I greeted back.

Liam looks different now. Based on my research, Liam’s fashion style is more of a nerd kind of style. But looking at him now, he could pass as a high-end model.

Liam asked me to sit at the chair across from him. I opened my MacBook to show my presentation. So far so good. We only talk about business. I becoming more at ease. Maybe Anne is just assuming things.

I ended my presentation and got a positive response from him. We are almost done with our meeting when he suddenly drops the bomb.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I heard that you are in a relationship with Andrew Lopez.” He said.

My eyes widen a bit because of shock but I was able to recover from that shock and tried to be as calm as I can.

“What are you saying? Andrew and I are just friends.” I said casually.

He grins at me. “You don’t need to worry about me, I won’t spill your secret relationship.”

I remained poker face but my heart is beating so fast like it will explode any minute now.

“Loosen up Ms. Alonzo, will you? I promise, your secret is safe with me.” He said.

My forehead creased. “What’s your deal?” I can’t help but ask.

He shrugged. “Nothing. I am not really interested in your relationship with that singer. I was actually glad when I found out that you are his real girlfriend because everyone thought it was Anne.”

I think I get his deal now. Anne was right! He will surely ask me about her.

He smirked. “I think you finally get it now. How’s Anne?”

“Why are you still interested in her? You guys broke up years ago. Are you planning revenge on her?” I can’t help but ask.

I think this is the reason why Anne is so scared of the fact that I will be meeting her ex-boyfriend. And based on how he acts right now, it makes me believe that she was still angry at Anne. According to the result of the investigation of Lance, Liam was naive a guy that’s why it was easy for Anne to seduce him and take advantage of his money.

Maybe it was also the reason for his sudden change of style. As I said a while ago, his looks and style will pass as a high-end model. The reason why he was one of the sought-after bachelors here in the country.

“Revenge? I am. I will surely get my revenge on those who ruined my life.” He said in a cold voice.

I shivered from the coldness of his voice. I was a bit scared for Anne. Now, I understand why Anne was so desperate to stop me from meeting him today.

“Revenge brings no good to people. I hope you’ll reconsider your plan.” I said bravely.

I was never a fan of revenge. For me, revenge makes the worst in the person because it nurtures the hatred in your heart. Hatred will never give you peace. The best revenge for me is to move forward and be happy.

“I’m sorry but I have no plan of changing my plan. I will surely have my revenge. I will never let those people get away from ruining my life.” He said in the coldness of his voice.

It’s a bit weird hearing this from him. He was openly giving me his plan and intention.

“But your life seems better now,” I said.

“My life was never getting better since the day that they ruined me.”

He looks serious and murderous. I cleared my throat. I am scared not for myself but Anne. I don’t think she can win in this revenge.

“You will soon be getting the CEO position. That is enough revenge for Anne. Believe me, you don’t need to do anything to her. Just get the position and that will be enough revenge on her.” I said even though this attempt is a complete failure.

He has so much hatred and doing nothing will never appease him.

“I never plan on getting revenge on Anne. She was also the victim here.”
