Everyone arrived at Ching’s place including Claudia, she later decided to follow when she saw Liam was going to accompany them.
The all sat in the same table, Liam was about to sit down next to Amelia when Claudia sat there so he could sit next to her instead. Everyone sat down as Laila orders for some food and drinks.
Few minutes later they were serve their orders and all of them dig in expect from Liam who was staring at Amelia deeply while drinking a shot of alcohol.
Claudia took a piece of meat and place it on Liam’s plate earning a few glares from Amelia as she bend her head down slurping on her noodles.
Liam noticed Amelia glares and smirks , he took the meat Claudia have him and puts it back in her plate making Claudia confused.
“You need to eat okay”He tells her flashing her a bright smile before looking at Amelia whose gazes were staring at them annoyed.
“Thanks boss”Claudia smiles sheepishly.
“Aww so cute”One of the staff that was with them states earning a smile from Claudia.
“What’s cute about that Nina? the boss just used a stylish way to refuse her”Laila scoffs, earning a glare from Claudia.
“Can’t you for once stay off my business?”Claudia said it between her teeth highly irritated by Laila words.
“You don’t get to tell me what I should do okay”Laila gave her the fakest smile ever.
“I just wish you weren’t here”Claudia utters.
“I was the one that came up with the idea of coming to Ching’s, if there is someone that doesn’t deserve to be here it’s you”Laila scoffs, Claudia was at the verge of losing it but held it in.
“Wait you didn’t even wanted to come before, or is it because boss decided to come along”Laila added making everyone gasps while staring at Claudia a bit weird.
“Hmm that’s not it”Claudia explains when she saw Liam looking at her a bit curious.
“You know I’m telling the truth Claudia”Laila blurted out.
“Watch your mouth!”Claudia warns her.
“Oh please”Laila rolls her eyes.
Liam was unbothered about Claudia and Laila banter as his eyes were focus on Amelia and one his staff talking. He frowns when he saw the guy gave Amelia a drink.
Liam POV
I don’t know what I’m doing here , these girls banter is making my ears bleed. I can’t believe she is talking to another guy in front of me, she didn’t even seem to care when I was talking to Clamp I mean Claudia. I hate that another guy is making her laugh like that. I didn’t even when I hit the table loudly as all gaze were on me.
“What’s wrong boss”Miss Cynthia questions his sudden aggression towards the table. Liam saw everyone including Amelia was staring at him and laugh nervously to clear off the tension in the air he caused.
“I thought I saw a bug”He lied as they all nodded believing him except Amelia who was staring at him weirdly.
“Yes can I help you?” Liam mutters referring to Amelia who was staring at him.
Everyone gazed at Amelia as she felt the heat and a bit annoyed as Liam had just talked to her like he doesn’t know her.
“Oh nothing boss”She nervously stated.
“Good”His cold voice pierce through Amelia’s heart.

Laila noticed the awkwardness settled in the room with them as everyone keeps looking at each other weirdly. Mike broke the silent making Amelia sigh in relief.
“Why don’t we all play a game”Mike announced earning a cheer from them expect from Liam who gaze never left Amelia.
“What game should we play?”Amelia questions innocently.
“How about truth or dare”The guy Amelia was talking to suggested.
“I see you wanna get freaky tonight Xavier”Laila teases the guy whose name appeared to be Xavier.
“Are you drunk?”Xavier asked as her alcohol breath filled up his nostrils making it flared.
“I’m not”Laila giggles, making Mike scoff.
“She can’t even handle alcohol yet she will be acting like she can”Mike remarks as Laila gave him a dead glare.
“Camon guys let’s play , then we go play with the karaoke machine there”Nina pointed to a direction making everybody turn to see a machine they never noticed before there.
“Can we get a bottle!”Laila yells with her hands raised up in the air. She was not in her right state of mind due to the alcohol.
“Okay who is spinning?”Mike asked as he thanked the waitress that gave him a bottle.
“Me”Nina said, making Mike hand her the bottle.
She spins the bottle gently as it spins really fast on the table. Everyone eyes were on the bottle anticipating who it was gonna land on , few seconds later the bottle landed on Xavier making him whine.
“Yay Xavier!”The all scream in unison except from Liam who wasn’t feeling it.
“Truth or dare?”Nina questions him.
“Truth”He simply states earning a groan from the girls.
“You coward,”Laila remarks.
“What is your best colour?”Nina stated, earning a slap from Miss Cynthia on her back.
“What type of childish truth is that? ”She reprimanded her.
“Like it is so plain and boring”Claudia added with yawns.
“Green”Xavier answers, earning a glare from them.
“Not fair that was too simple”Mike whines , Xavier chuckles and spins.
Amelia POV
I just pray this bottle don’t land on me tonight, cause I don’t want to blurt out anything by mistake. I can feel Liam’s eyes on me like he is silently praying the bottle lands on me.
Liam POV
I pray the bottle doesn’t land on my teddy, before they ask her about me and she calls me Andrew.
The bottle landed on Amelia pointing towards her.
“Really?”She mentally screams.
“So truth or dare?”Xavier asked as all eyes were on Amelia including Liam’s.
“Truth”She forced out.
“Do you have a boyfriend?”He asked , making Liam to give him a suspicious look.
“Yes I do”Amelia answers.
A smirks creeped onto Liam’s lips as he saw how disappointed Xavier was by her answer. Claudia grins at the thought of Amelia not able to come in between her and Liam since she already have a boyfriend but she had no idea Amelia was referring to Liam as her boyfriend.
“That’s nice,”Claudia blurted out with a smile.
“Thanks”Amelia mutters.
“So whose turn to spin?”Xavier finally said.
“Amelia”They answered as Amelia spins the bottle.
Her and Liam were doing a little staring contest when the bottle landed on Liam making everyone gasps.
“Hmm you don’t need to play boss”Miss Cynthia started but was silence by Liam’s hand up signaling that he was fine with it.
“Go on”Liam gestures to Amelia to question him.
“Truth or dare,”she mutters.
“Truth”His tone was so cold that she didn’t even know what to ask him.
She looks over and saw Claudia smiling at him , and a thought immediately popped into her head.
“Are you single?”Amelia questions raised head up and questioning eyes as everyone stares at them immensely anticipating Liam’s reply.
“Nice question”Liam smirks.
“Then answer it”She gives him the fakest smile ever.
“What’s going on?”Mike whispers to Laila.
“I don’t know but I’m loving it”She utters as eyes never left the drama unfolding in front of her, Mike gave her a glare before paying attention to them.
“I kinda find it strange you ask that”Liam smirks with his eyes never leaving hers.
“Was so strange about it, I mean it all a game”She smiles.
“Well you are right , but people do tend to use opportunities like this to ask what they wanna know”Liam stated.
“Well I’m not people, I just asked the question that came up in my head!”Amelia defensively uttered.
“Calm down girl , no need to be defensive”Liam chuckles slightly.
Claudia frowns at Liam and Amelia talk that was already making Liam laugh.
“Can’t you just change the questions, isn’t it obvious the boss isn’t cool with it?”Claudia snaps at Amelia making Liam frown slightly.
“Okay I will change…”Amelia was cut off by Liam’s voice.
“I’m not single”Liam answers with a smirk on his face while staring at Amelia.
Claudia felt like she was about to collapse to the floor, Laila raised her head up and started laughing like a mad woman while pointing at Claudia.
“Someone check up on Claudia cause she is about to go crazy”Laila tells them in between laughs.
“I have to go, I have something to do”Claudia stated before running off.
“Who’s gonna pay for your food?”Mike yells but she had already run out of the building.
“Don’t worry all bills on me”Liam stated making them jubilate.

Everyone went home drunk that night. Liam carried Amelia home when the coast was clear, Few hours later they arrived home and he carries her to his room and lay her down on the bed softly.
“What did. You have to drink so much”He groans as he was about to leave when she held his hand.
“Did you see everyone’s shocked faces when they found out you were taken?”She giggles but it was disrupted by hiccups.
“You are drunk , go to sleep”He tells her but she held onto his hand tighter.
“No baby, let’s have sex again”She tells him, making Liam’s mouth drop wide open.
“What?”
