Grace jumped up, her voice sharp with panic. “What the hell are you doing?!”
It all happened so fast. I saw every bit of it, and my heart dropped. I stood up too, instinctively.
What the hell? He just laid hands on her like that, right in front of me? This guy seriously doesn’t know boundaries.
Liam got up too, pulling that fake innocent look on his face.
“Hey now, calm down. I was just complimenting your beauty. I forgot—people from the East are naturally more reserved.”
Grace’s lips were pressed tight, fists clenched at her sides. She was slightly shorter than me, and standing next to Liam’s tall frame, she looked tiny—but her voice didn’t waver at all.
“This has nothing to do with where I’m from. Sir, what you just did was harassment. You owe me an apology.”
Liam
