Amelia was shocked to see Liam standing behind her. She quietly said a silent prayer thanking God for Laila intervention , as she had just told Elliot about her relationship with Andrew.
“What’s going on?”Laila asked, a bit confused at the way they were gazing at each other.
“Ah nothing…I just…came here to ask Elliot something”Liam immediately said before dragging Elliot with him to his office without glancing at Amelia.
“Oh my gosh thank you Laila”Amelia hugged her while breathing out a sigh of relief before leaving.
“For what?”Laila confusedly asked but she was already gone.
“The people in the office are crazy, oh my gosh what if I become crazy too?”Laila gasps palming her cheeks.
“You are already crazy”Mike mutters while walking away with a box in his hand.
“Hey I heard that!”Laila barks at him but he has already left.
“Aish that boy is trying to make me mad”Laila scoffs before leaving.
Claudia was walking as she recalls what happened between her Liam which made her frown
Flashback
“What do you like doing for fun?”Claudia asked, smiling brightly.
“Fucking my girlfriend”Liam bluntly replied making her gasps.
“Please drop me here”Claudia requested and immediately Liam dropped her without even asking why. She slams the door hard before leaving.
end of flashback.
“Gosh!”Claudia yells as she didn’t see Amelia running towards her direction as she was too busy in her thoughts.
“I need to find out who the boss Is actually dating…”Claudia’s words were cut short by Amelia who bumped into her making her stumble to the ground.
She Yelp in pain and immediately look up to see Amelia whose eyes are widened as she covers her mouth with her hand. Claudia scoffs and looks at her with a disgusted face.
“Can you see where you are going, are you blind?!”Claudia reprimands her from the ground.
“I’m sorry”Amelia immediately apologised, stretching her hand towards her to help her get up.
Claudia stares at her for a while before rolling her eyes, she immediately stood up ignoring her help.
“Who do you think you are huh? first you push me down intentionally now you pretend to want to help me”Claudia scoffs with her arms crossed.
“I don’t have time for this” Amelia declares and turns to leave.
“Why so moody, is it because I told Everyone how me and the boss spent time together last night?”Claudia questions with a smirk on her face as Amelia halts in her tracks and turns to look at her.
“What do you mean?”Amelia frowns.
“I know what your secret is okay”Claudia tells her, making her gasp.
Amelia POV
What does she know, those she knows that the boss thought I lost my memory, could he have told her?
Claudia snaps her finger in front of Amelia’s bringing her back to reality. She blinks twice a little confused as Claudia scoffs.
“What are you?”Claudia smirks looking at her confused state.
“No…I’m not…you don’t know anything”Amelia nervously mutters trying not to stutter but fails.
“Your nervousness makes it quite obvious that you have a secret”Claudia pointed out as Amelia’s eyes scans the building avoiding eye contact with Claudia.
“Are you hiding anything?”Claudia asked, making Amelia gulp.
“I’m not hiding anything okay!”Amelia snaps at her.
“Chill Baby Girl, you don’t need to be aggressive beside I’m just asking a question”Claudia admits in a way you could see she didn’t believe her.
“Whatever”Amelia scoffs before leaving.
“She is definitely hiding something, and I’m going to find out soon,”Claudia declares before walking away.
Elliot was sitting on Liam’s chair as Liam was pacing around in his office while ruffling his hair in frustration.
“Will you calm down bro, she isn’t gonna break up with you” Elliot assures him, making Liam’s pacing halt.
“Didn’t you hear how serious her tone was when she said she was gonna break up with me?”Liam questions in disbelief at his words.
“She isn’t gonna break up with you okay, will you chill out”Elliot rolled his eyes.
“”Are you sure?” Liam asked hoping he will give him assurances.
“Nah I’m not sure”Elliot tells him shaking his head making Liam frown.
“Really, gosh I knew it”Liam frowns
“By the way, I’m extending my stay here for extra 3 months”Elliot announced making Liam give him a questioning look.
“Why?” Liam curiously asked.
“That’s because I want to make Amelia fall for me”Elliot bluntly confessed, making Liam’s eyes widened.
“What?!” Liam yells as his eyes are filled with rage.
“What’s wrong?”Elliot questions nonchalantly, ignoring his yells.
“What’s wrong, are you fucking serious bro?” Liam dragged his words angered by Elliot words.
“I don’t know what I said wrong,”Elliot innocently said, trying not to smile.
“Don’t you fucking go anywhere near her, she is mine okay”Liam warns him.
“Is she really yours?”Elliot smirks.
“What do you mean?” Liam nervously asked.
“Well I have a feeling she doesn’t know she is yours”Elliot admits, making Liam gasp.
“What are you saying?” Liam gulps a bit nervous if he knows that she lost her memory.
“Well you see, when someone claims a person without the person being theirs and for someone else instead”Elliot explains in parables.
“Can you just fucking cut to the chase and spare me the fucking parables!” Liam snaps at him skiing, Elliot laughs.
He stood up from the chair and walked towards Liam while laughing as Liam stared at him weirdly.
“I don’t know why you are getting all worked up, I’m just pulling your legs”Elliot admits between laughs earning a glare from Liam.
“This isn’t the time for jokes okay”Liam tells him ruffling his hair as he breathes out in relief.
“Bro why acting all nervous, are you keeping anything from me?”Elliot questions with his eyebrow raised a little while staring at him suspiciously.
“Nothing,”Liam immediately said.
“Hmm sounds like you are lying”Elliot concludes while nodding his head.
Liam frowns before looking at him.
“Don’t you have work to do?” Liam questions.
“Dude what work, I basically just stare at the computer all day, like what are they even doing?”Elliot scoffs.
“Well they are editors”Liam tells him.
“You never told me you’re into publishing”Elliot smirks.
“Well I just recently started it”Liam admits.
“So who is taking care of your car company and wine business?”Elliot curiously asked.
“I assigned someone there”Liam tells him while playing with the pen on his desk.
“What the fuck dude, why didn’t you assigned me to take care of your wine company?”Elliot scoffs.
“Oh so that you can drink the whole wine there without even feeling anything”Liam tells him, making him roll his eyes.
“But Camon Dude, how do you drink that much without feeling drunk or intoxicated?”Liam curiously asked, a bit amazed.
“Well it’s a gift,”Elliot chuckles.
“Well lucky”Liam laughs as Elliot joins him in the laughter.
“So what I’m i gonna do about Amelia?”Liam asked feeling down.
“That’s your problem dude, I have to get back to work”Elliot announced as he left his office leaving him stunned.
“You don’t have any work!” Liam yells but he already slammed the door shut behind him.
Elliot immediately came out of Liam’s laughing at him yelling from inside.
“Crazy dude”Elliot mutters in between laughs, he turned and saw Claudia standing in front of him.
“Damn it!”Elliot yelled, frightened a little by her as he held his chest panting a little.
“Did I scare you?”Claudia obviously asked, making him scoff in disbelief.
“Oh fucking damn yes, who stands in front of a person like a creep?”Elliot questions glaring at her.
“Let’s talk,”Claudia tells him before walking away.
“Talk about what?”Elliot asked, a bit confused and scared at the way he was looking at him.
He sighs before following her from behind hoping she wants to tell him something informative.
Amelia POV
I was walking when I saw Elliot and Claudia leaving our section and heading towards the hallway making me a little curious on what they were up too. As I was about to follow them someone pulled me back.
Amelia turned to see Laila holding onto her hand. She immediately looked back and couldn’t see any trace of Claudia and Elliot making her groan.
“Yes Laila what do you want?!”Amelia snaps at her feeling a bit annoyed.
“Hey calm down, why are you mad at me?”Laila asked, gazing down.
Amelia sighs when she sees her state, ruffling her hair breathing out a bit.
“I’m not mad at you okay, I’m just a bit tired”Amelia explains.
“Oh hope you are fine?”Laila asked, a bit worried.
“Yeah I’m good,”Amelia assures her.
“That’s a relief”Laila breathes out.
“Why are you looking for me?”Amelia asked, making Laila palm her forehead as realisation hit her.
“Oh I came to call you, we are going to go have lunch. Nina must be waiting for us”Laila panics and dragged her with her while running out of the building.
Claudia stopped in front of an elevator making Elliot a bit suspicious on why she stopped here. She turns to look at him with a smile on her face making him frown.
“I thought maybe we would have to go to Jupiter before you tell me what she wants to say”Elliot jokingly admits.
“Very funny”Claudia gave him a small fake smile as he returned it back.
“So what do you wanna say, seeing as you carried me to a place where no one can hear us I supposed it must be important”Elliot winks at her making Claudia smirk.
“Yes it is, I just wanna say”Claudia started while looking behind Elliot as two men she hired were approaching slowly towards him with knives in their hands.
“Go on, speak!”Elliot snaps at her.
“Uhm…I”Claudia stutters as she couldn’t comprehend what to say. Elliot noticed she was looking behind him nervously.
“Is there someone behind my back?”Elliot questions as he wanted to look back but she pulled him towards her making his eyes widen a bit as she hugs him.
“I love you”She confessed, making Elliot shocked.
“What!”Elliot choked out.
“I love you Elliot”Claudia repeats, ushering for the men to leave.
“What the hell, let’s go off me”Elliot yells trying to push her off him but she held him tight until the men left.
“I love you so much,”Claudia utters with a disgusted face while hugging him.
She pulls out of the hug releasing him. Claudia look at his eyes staring at her confused and a bit curious.
“What?”Claudia scoffs.
“Why did you say you love me?”Elliot asked while moving close to her.
“Well I don’t know”Claudia nervously replied while moving backward a bit.
“You don’t know, so you are saying you just love me?” Elliot smirks, still moving closer to her.
“I don’t know what was wrong with me when I did, I don’t actually was just joking”Claudia confessed hoping he back-away from her but he didn’t as he kept coming closer.
Claudia moved back nervously; she didn’t notice the warning sign of the elevator that had broken down when her ankle twisted, making her fall backwards.
Claudia’s eyes widened as she was about to fall down the building’s elevator when Elliot held her hand and pulled her close to him.
She breathed out holding onto him tightly as her life just flashed before her eyes. Claudia sobs as she could have died if not for Elliot helping her, she hugs him tightly.
“Hey it’s okay”Elliot tries consoling her.
“Thank you” Claudia Speaks out, still scared.
“I won’t let anything happen to you okay”Elliot assures her by caressing her hair a bit.
Claudia pushed him away from her, as she realised what was going on. She cleans her tears before crossing her arms glaring at him.
“You almost made me fall off the building elevator!”She barks at him as he stared at her in disbelief.
“The fuck, I just saved you from it!”Elliot barks back.
“Well you are the reason I almost fell off it”Claudia blames him.
“And also the reason you didn’t fall and become a vegetable”Elliot added, making her scoffs.
“Stay away from me!”Claudia said in between her teeth before leaving him standing there dumbfounded.
“I don’t even wanna be near you, you were the one that called me here!”Elliot yelled, reminding her but she ignored him and gave him the middle finger while leaving.
“Gosh what a brat!”Elliot frowns.
“But what is the main reason for her calling me here?”Elliot questions, obviously not believing she called him here to confess to him.
He sighs and was about to leave when he noticed a knife on the ground. he immediately reach towards it and picked it up while staring at Claudia from a far a bit confused.
Claudia pov
Gosh my plan to kill him didn’t work, I can’t believe he saved me from the same elevator I was gonna push him off. Well it is obvious he isn’t wicked like you Claudia, but who cares not everyone will be as nice as him.
Claudia chuckles evilly at her own thoughts.

Night time came as Everyone was leaving the company while bidding themselves goodnight.
“Bye Laila and Nina”Amelia bids them goodnight.
“Bye Amelia!”They both wave in unison as they leave giggling.
Amelia smiles and is about to leave when someone holds her hand. She turns to see Liam looking at her and frowns.
“Yes?”Amelia questions, a bit annoyed.
“I will drop you off,”Liam offers.
“No need I will take a cab”Amelia tells him and was about to leave when he held her shoulder stopping her.
“You are not going anywhere”Liam frowns, ignoring her shocked face.
“I’m going home,”Amelia mutters.
“You mean my house”Liam winks at her making her cringe.
“No I’m going to stay over at Laila place”Amelia lies crossing her arms nervously.
“Oh then why didn’t you leave with him?”Liam questions.
“Uhm”Amelia hummed a bit confused.
“She just left with Nina , so why didn’t you leave with them then?” Liam pointed out, making Amelia’s eyes widened.
“Hmm I…. don’t know”Amelia stutters not knowing what to say.
“If you need a place to stay you can come and stay at my place Amelia”Elliot said from behind making Liam glare at him.
“Sure”Amelia smiles at him.
“No way you are staying with this pervert!” Liam barks.
“You are more of a pervert than him”Amelia defended Elliot who was pouting innocently.
“You still not going with him”Liam scoffs.
“Let’s go Elliot!”Amelia yells as she grabs Elliot’s hand and runs out of the building with their intertwined while laughing.
“Get back here you guys!”Liam yells before chasing after them.
“So Amelia stays with Elliot?”Claudia, who was eavesdropping on them, gasps from behind.
