“Hey you don’t have the right to treat her like that”Nina tells him, stomping her foot in the ground.
“Aww and who is this little kid talking too?”Andrew mocks Nina, bending to match her Bridget.
Nina was pretty small compared to Andrew who was 6ft tall and his slender body made him more attractive and look like a model.
“What are you doing here, do you have an appointment with the boss?”Miss Cynthia questioned him from behind.
“Oh I see you must be the manager here, well I’m not here for your tacky boss I’m here for Amelia”He admits making them confused.

“That’s enough Elliot!”Liam yelled, pulling Elliot away from Andrew before he killed him.
“Let’s go Liam!”Elliot snaps at Liam.
“Don’t interfere!”Elliot warns him and goes to hit Andrew again but Liam pulls him back.

“You too, by the way what are you doing here?”Elliot questioned Andrew wondering what new schemes he was up to.
“Well I came here to see Amelia”Andrew announced, Elliot rolled his eyes.
“Well she is not here, you can leave now”Elliot pointed towards the exit.
“Then where is she?”Andrew questions.
Elliot was about to tell him he doesn’t know, and to get the fuck outta of here when Laila spoke.
“She is in the hospital, she got hit by a truck”Laila informed them from behind.
“How did you know?”Elliot questions Laila, staring at her suspiciously.
“Well”Laila started.
Flashback
Laila was walking along the hallway when she bumped into someone. She looked up to see a handsome tall slender guy staring at her, she immediately fixed her clothes trying to look pretty.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you”The guy immediately apologised.
“Oh it’s cool”Laila snorted, she immediately covered her mouth feeling embarrassed. The guy chuckled slightly at Laila action.
“I’m Jake by the way, you are?”Jake introduced himself, stretching out his hand at Laila.
“I’m Laila”She immediately shook his hand smiling like an idiot.
“Nice name, I suppose you are one of Liam’s employees right?”Jake raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner.
“Yeah,”Laila blurted out, smiling at him brightly.
“Cool, hmm how is Liam Scott like as your boss?”He asked her like he was interrogating her or something.
“Well he is a great boss, sometimes he is a little grumpy but still he is very nice”Laila explains, Jake just stared at her listening to what she was saying about Liam very intensely.
“So are you all by yourself here?”Jake asked, looking behind her for anyone.
“Actually I was looking for one of my co-workers,”Laila tells him.
“Those the co-worker happen to be Amelia Liam’s girlfriend?”Jake curiously asked.
“Yes she is the one I’m looking for, do you by any chance know where she is?”Laila questions hoping he knew where Amelia was.
“I saw Liam taking her to a hospital, she got hit by a truck”Jake bluntly told her with an emotionless facial expression.
“Omg, how, when?”Laila flooded him with questions closing her mouth, she couldn’t believe Amelia got hit by a truck.
“I don’t know, and don’t care”Jake admits, he gave her a bright smile before walking past her.
Laila watches as Jake leaves after just admitting he doesn’t care about Amelia’s accident. She couldn’t believe she was hitting on someone like him.
“What a crazy psychopath”Laila scoffs, she remembers him saying Amelia got hit by a truck and gasps.
“Oh my, Amelia I’m coming!”Laila yells running fast even though she had nowhere to go.

Claudia was thinking of how to escape from this situation as she was caught by Elliot already and had nowhere to run too.
“I…don’t understand what you mean”Claudia tries her best not to stutter.
“Take if your mask lets me see your face”Elliot orders trying to take off Claudia’s face mask.

“Did he hurt you huh?”Liam asked, scanning Amelia’s body for anything sought of mark or injury.
Andrew gets up from the floor and cracks his jaw before looking at Liam who was already glaring at him.
“Kinda weird to see you fighting over a girl,”Andrew admits, chuckling lightly.
“Shut the fuck up okay!” Liam warns him pointing his finger at him.
“Why should I huh, is not like she is even your girlfriend”Andrew spits out.

Flashback
Where could he be?”She mutters still searching for him. Amelia was about to check for him in his room when she heard a sound from the kitchen making her halt in her tracks.
A warm smile creeped up her lips as she sighs in relief on seeing him. He was making breakfast for them, she finds his gesture of showing he cares so cute and makes her heart flutter sometimes.
“When did you get here?”He questions her as she stands behind his back, shocked.
“How do you know I was here?”She forced out, still a bit shocked.
“Well I can feel you”He turns and flashes her a smile before returning to what he was doing.
Amelia felt like she was about to collapse, he was making her feel emotions that she couldn’t even explain.
“What are you making?”She innocently asked.
“Scrambled eggs and bacon”He stated walking towards the table. He placed two plates of food on the table before going to the fridge to grab a drink.
“Hmm you know I could have made the breakfast”She declares.
“Well you were sleeping peacefully, didn’t want to disturb you”He tells her .
“Liar, you are still not certain about my cooking”She whines .
“Well you are not wrong”He chuckles, earning a gasp from her.
“How could you?”She frowns with her arms crossed as she turns her back on him.
Liam saw her state and pouts, he walked towards her hugging her from behind.
“Aww Cam-on you know I was just kidding”He confessed.
“Whatever”She scoffs.
“Don’t be mad teddy”He turns her around making her face him.
She looked up to him, staring at her with darkened pupils that looked like he was about to devour her.
“You are so cute!”He mutters.
“Let’s eat,”She nervously uttered.
She was about to walk away towards the table when Liam held her hand from behind making her breathe out heavily.
“Yes”She gulps, not sure on why he was holding her.
“Why are you nervous around me?”He suddenly questions her.
Amelia froze at the spot as they were still backing each other. He turned toward her, still holding on to her hand.
“What do you mean?”She finally managed to ask.
“I don’t know, you have been acting strange ever since that night”He countered.
Amelia couldn’t comprehend what was happening as her brain tried to crack what was going on in his head but couldn’t make her wonder if her secret was still safe.
“I don’t understand”She mutters hoping he will just drop the whole issue.
“Well you tend to flinch anytime I touch you, you are not always confident around me and conscious of your statement which makes me feel like you are keeping something away from me”He admits.
Amelia’s heart dropped down, as the universe was giving her a hint that she was about to be exposed. She shook her head in disapproval she couldn’t just let things go down like this she ought to fix it.
“You are thinking too much,”She tells him.
She wiggled her hand out of his , Liam sighs feeling a bit moody. She turns to look at him, she inhales all the breeze she could possibly inhale before pulling him towards her.
“I love you”She confessed before connecting their lips together.
Liam stumbled back a bit not expecting her to do that, but he held his balance firm before pulling her close to deepen the kiss. Their lips move together in a synchronised way like it was meant for each other. He bites her bottom lips earning a moan from her as her lips slightly opened, Liam used the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth as their tongue both fought for dominance. The kiss became more intense , Liam placed his hands on her waist pulling her close leaving no space in between them.
“We should stop,”She mutters in the kiss, not wanting to stop.
“Hmm”He hummed .
They both pulled away from the kiss with a string of saliva still connecting their lips. Amelia buried her head on his chest a bit shy.
“That was hot”He breathes out earning a groan from her.
“Never knew you were such a good kisser”He teases her.
“That’s enough”she whines, feeling embarrassed by what just transpired between them.
“You should feel proud of yourself, you managed to turn me on with a kiss”He pointed out.
“I’m hungry”she pushed him away before heading to the table, making him chuckle before following her from behind.
“So when do I get to work?”She asked him before shoving bacon into her mouth.
“Today”He simply stated as he pressed his phone.
“Oh that’s great,”She said excitedly.
“Yeah I’m awesome”He boastfully uttered.
“Corky much”She rolls her eyes in a playful manner.
“You love me like that though”He countered.
