love's second chance

Chapter 5 Liam's POV

I couldn't believe it had been two years since I saw her that night. The woman who had taken my heart captive with her beauty and strength. I had tried to forget her, to focus on my work and move on.

But I could not shake off the memory of her that night. What I felt deep down had multiplied. I watched her speaking at a conference earlier, about her company's innovations. Again I was drown to her. This emotion was like a thick spider web around my heart. But something was missing in her eyes. There was emptiness and behind her smile and an abyss of darkness. In the process of distracting myself from the strong emotion I became more ruthless.

I stared at my computer with mixed emotions.

"....sir what do you think about the contract?"

well I didn't hear anything he said except for the last sentence.

" Whatever." I waved my hand. " What information do you have about Lora."

" She lost here husband about two years ago."

So that was why she was so pained and mesirable then.

" And?" I asked.

" She has a daughter. Liah Johnson. But there is somthing awkward, recently Miss Lora has been changing her assistants. This is the fifth time she has fired her assistant. Her company is currently looking for a replacement."

" then apply for me."

" What... oh okay sir." he stuttered.

" What are you still waiting for?" I gave him a hard glare.

" Under what name sir?"

" ...... Andy."

" okay sir." He left.

Liah's POV

I rushed off to mom's room.

" Mom it's morning wake up!" I shook her.

" It's morning already?" She stretched lanquishly.

" Come let me prepare you for school."

" You should rather prepare me for work."

" What work?"

" So you have forgotten my search for your assistant?"

" No I haven't. But that is after school."

" But there is no school today. It is sports day and you remember what happened in the stadium a year ago."

" Okay fine."

Mom styled my hair picked my dress . As I waited for her in my room I read the journal dad gave me. It had all I needed to know about my mom, her past life as well as his.

We ate breakfast in silence. She wore white denim and a coat.

" If you are all done let us get going." Mom said picking up her car keys.
