Chapter Four

Liam's Point of View.

I had just touched down two days ago in Manhattan and I was already chasing Adam Williams so that I could get him to sell the land he inherited to us to develop on it.

Emma insisted that I follow him here so here I was in a club on a Wednesday, "Adam, I was hoping that maybe we can talk?" I inquired hoping he would give me his time and not fucking pay attention to the strippers in front of us.

"Not now man. Have some fun yes?" He shouted through the loud music as I sighed heavily, I felt my phone vibrate and I took out the phone,

"Taylor wants to back out from the deal, Please tell me you have convinced Adam by now to sell" the message from Emma read as I clenched my jaws looking at Adam who was being touched by the ladies who were on his laps.

"Soon" I replied putting back my phone in my pocket.

"Adam… Any chance we can…." I tried to get his attention but it seems like this was not working, I shouldn't have bothered even coming to this club.

"Send the document tomorrow to my secretary. If the deal is above what Rivera is offering the land is yours" He smirked at me as I nodded my head. Is that what he failed to tell me earlier?

'Thanks, man!" I shouted as I sipped from my glass of whiskey.

"No problem. Now get the hell out of here, you are ruining my party" He chortled as I raised my glass to him and made my way out of the club, I went down the stairs and pushed myself through the crowd, women were trying to throw themselves at me but I didn't come here for a woman but I came for work I wanted to leave the glass on the table.

I hurriedly made my way looking around me when a woman bumped into me the glass of whiskey that I was carrying splashed everything on my shirt as I scoffed as I looked at her. She looked confessed as she tried to clean my shirt.

"Oh my god!" I heard her gasp as she looked at me

'I am so sorry" she apologized to me as I grabbed her hand stopping her from touching my shirt she was ruining it.

"Get your hands off me" I calmly said to her, I was trying not to sound rude because god knows I would be bursting right now. I took the glass of whiskey I was drinking and placed it on the counter

"Be careful" I said almost in a whisper when my phone rang, I tried to take out the phone as I looked at the caller. Emma.

I let go of the woman pushing her aside as I made my way out of the club. "Emma?" I picked up when she called the second time.

"Please tell me it's a go" she queried as I sighed heavily.

"Well, I got him to agree only if we can beat Rivera Estates to it then we are good" I explained to her as I made my way to the car that I had rented.

'Yes," She chorused.

"Why do you sound low? Anything wrong?" She questioned me as I went in the car taking off my jacket.

"Well, a woman sipped some whiskey on my suit so how do you think I feel?" I questioned her and she was quiet.

"I will see you soon," I said cutting the call. She knew this was partially her fault because she insisted that I wear my suit on the night that I was flying back.

I drove away going to the airport where I was dropping off the car that I had rented, the jet was already there so I just needed to get in and I was already in the air.

I arrived at the airport and my assistant was there already. "Evening Liam," Vicky greeted me as I approached where she was standing, dressed all casual in jeans and a tank top with boots, her blonde hair tied behind.

"Hi Vicky, Are we ready?" I questioned as we walked to the jet.

"Yes. I have everything here. And your tablet" She excitedly said to me as I nodded my head going up the stairs to get in.

"Good Evening Sir, the hostess greeted me as I reluctantly nodded my head going to my seat

"Anything particular I should look at?" I questioned Vicky who went to sit opposite me as she shook her head.

"You know what? Before we take off let me change into something else" I said to her standing up as I looked around for my bag.

"Here" She stood up from her seat going to get my bag from the chair going to get the bag from the overhead bin.

"Thanks," I said taking it from her as she watched me open the bag, I picked out a t-shirt and started changing there.

I took off my jacket, then tie, and then unbuttoned my shirt throwing it back in the bag. I throw on the long-sleeved black t-shirt and closed the bag again putting it back in the overhead.

"What happened to your suit?" she questioned me as I went to buckle up so that we can finally take off. I heard the captain introduce himself and the copilot as I sat back taking my tablet to start going through all my reports

"This is a good opportunity for you to look at all the appointments for tomorrow." She said to me as she took her diary.

"Can't it wait until tomorrow?" I inquired and she shook her head.

"No. It can't." As she said going through her tablet.

"Okay. Shoot" I said sitting back as the plane finally took off. "Okay, you have a conference call at 7 am with the board of directors it should take no more than two hours. Then at 9:30 am you have an appointment with your therapist. At 11 am you have a site visit to the new hotel. And at 1 pm you have a lunch date with the lady Emma is setting you up with. And also…" She went on to explain to me about my meetings for the day,

"Cant the lunch date be postponed? I have a lot of things to work on and that meeting isn't really helpful" I said to her and she shrugged her shoulders.

"You have pushed it back for two weeks, what's so difficult about just meeting her?" She inquired as I rolled my eyes. I didn't have time to date women at the moment and they have been insisting that I decide to settle down.

"Fine. Anything else?" I asked her as I looked at my table now.

"Yes. You have a golf session with the Chairman at 3 pm" She said as that caught my attention now, how could she expect me to meet my father tomorrow? I just got back in town

"My father? " I asked her and she swallowed hard.

'Well, he wants to meet you over the canceled engagement with Ayanna Torres" She said as I swallowed hard, I never like talking to my father about my personal life.

"Fine. Anything else?" I asked her as she shook her head.

'Emma insists that you take some time off this month though" she added on as I swallowed hard, Emma was my elder sister and I loved her but how she was getting involved in everything this time around was getting on my nerves.

"I will do that when I am ready," I said to her as I started going through all the reports I had on my laptop.
