AFTER THE MARRIAGE

19- Warren Liam

Angrily, Hailey stormed inside her Dad's office while he was talking to his new client.

"Hailey? What are you doing here? Close the door, and wait for me outside. Let's talk later," Mr. Green seriously stated, and looked back to his new client. "I am sorry for that, Mr. Liam. Where were we?" he said nicely.

But instead of following her Dad, she goes inside and closed the door behind her. "We need to talk about Grey," she announced, without caring who he was talking to.

Because of her, Mr. Green, and his client, turned at her again as they got interrupted once more.

"I told you to wait for me outside. Can't you wait? I am dealing with Mr. Liam here," Mr. Green annoyingly recited to make her realize things.

"No, I can't wait," she responded without breaking eye contact with her father.

"She's feisty. What's her name?" Mr. Liam mentioned, and looked at Mr. Green when he asked him about his daughter.

"I apologize for my daughter's behavior, Mr. Liam. Her name is Hailey. Would you mind if we continue our meeting tomorrow? I'll just talk to my daughter here before I truly get mad at her," Mr. Green apologetically said with a small smile as he is just tempering himself because of his daughter's attitude.

"Sure, no problem, Mr. Green. I understand," Mr. Liam responded with a charming smile, and he stood as he was ready to leave the two alone.

"Say sorry to him, my daughter, for your behavior," Mr. Green demanded, giving her a meaningful look.

"No, why would I say sorry?" Hailey asked irritatingly.

"It's okay, Mr. Green. I am pleased to meet you, Ms. Hailey," Mr. Liam chuckled, and stood in front of her as he greeted her instead.

"Likewise. Please leave," she annoyingly answered, not minding how handsome he is.

"As you please," Mr. Liam replied with a smirk, and he walked outside, letting the two talks alone.

"Mind your attitude. Don't you know who's that? That's Mr. Liam. Our new investor, the third billionaire on the list. So, watch your mouth, young lady," Mr. Green lectured his daughter, who sat in front of his desk.

"I don't care, Dad. I have a problem," she angrily mentioned.

Mr. Green sighed first before opening his mouth again. "Yeah, I figured. What are you doing here, by the way? Did I not tell you to stay out of the City for a while?" he replied that his eyebrows collided, questioning her.

"That's precisely my problem. Grey chased me down the City. He blew my car," she irritatingly recited.

"What? He did what?" he questioned confusingly.

"You heard me, Dad. He blew my car. Not to mention, my fvcking favorite car! I want another car!" she demanded aggressively.

Mr. Green, then, twisted his chair to the left as he hit tobacco calmly. "So, he found you. I told you he's gonna chase you down after what you did to his wife. You never listen to me," he spoke casually.

She gritted her teeth to his reaction she did not expect. "Dad, I want revenge! I want my fvcking car!" she shouted eagerly.

"You actually started it, he's just returning the favor," he told, and faced his daughter again. "I'll get you another car but in return, you have to stop chasing him down. He's no good for you," he added to calm her down.

"Dad, he blew my fvcking car! I want revenge!" she stated in grit.

"Stop it, would you?" he asked, and rolled his eyes for his daughter's behavior that he couldn't control. "Think of this, my daughter. You sent him a threat message on the day of their marriage, right? And in return, what did he do? He did nothing. He just approached me and talked things out. It was just me who began the fight. He's actually sparing our life. But then, you attacked his wife by hitting her with your car. Do you think what would Grey do to you after he knew that it was all your doing, huh?" he enunciated.

"He deserves it," she replied without any remorse on her face.

Mr. Green shook his head as he saw his daughter's facial expression. "Knock it off for Pete's sake, Hailey," he sighed, and stood to go out of his office, leaving her alone.

Thereafter, Hailey went out of his Dad's place and while she was walking she saw the man he was talking to a while ago. She ignored him anyway, and continued walking when she heard someone calling her name.

"Ms. Green," Mr. Liam called, and approached her.

She, then, turned around to face him lazily. "What do you want?" she asked.

"You seem upset. May I know why are you upset, beautiful young lady?" he flirted.

She smirked at the behavior he is showing towards her. "No, you may not," she responded rudely, and rolled her eyes as she was not interested in him.

"How about I buy you a car? Will you come to me?" he announced, and a naughty grin appeared on his lips.

She scoffed at his behavior, but then, she looked at him seriously. "Are you flirting with me? Because I'm going to tell you now that I am not interested in you," she mentioned out loud, embarrassing him.

"Wow. I did not even introduce myself nicely and yet, you rejected me already," he replied, the smirk not leaving his face.

"Alright. Tell me about yourself then," she told, and put her arms across her chest.

"Okay. My name is Warren Liam. The third billionaire on the list, next to Grey Victor. And you?" he introduced charmingly, and showed his cute dimples on both cheeks.

She smiled at his introduction. "My name is Hailey Green, the tenth placer on the list," she mimicked him.

"Oh, yes, Hailey Green, the famous fashionista. So, tell me, what's your problem with Grey? I heard you mentioned his name a while ago," he told, and the smirk on his lips disappeared as he talked to her seriously.

"As if you'd help me. You are just wasting my time. I've got to go," she said, dismissing him, and turned around.

"Sure, why not?" he confidently answered, and put his arms inside his trousers while directly looking at her.

She anyway stopped, and turned to him once more with a grin on her face. "Really, you would?" she asked for confirmation.

"Beats me," he responded, and he handsomely smiled.

Afterward, he parked the car away from Grey's property with Hailey beside her, who was sitting in the shotgun seat.

"What are we doing here?" he curiously asked, and he twisted his head towards her.

"Do you know whose house is that?" she questioned, pointing to the big red gate with numerous men around.

"Yeah. That's Grey's property," he answered, and looked in front of him once more.

"Since Dad is not helping me to get my revenge, would you? I want to take him down...for good," she recited, and seriously stared at him.

He looked at her, too, and smirked for what she mentioned. "I've been wanting to do that, but I couldn't. I guess you have a good plan?" he responded.

"A very nice plan, actually. For years, he had no weakness, but now, he has. His wife," she mentioned with a devil grin across her face.

"Yeah, I heard that he got married. So, you're targeting his wife to get to him?" he queried.

"Bingo. He is not an easy target, but his wife is," she replied, and snapped her fingers as he knew what will she do.

"So, what's your plan?" he wondered.

"I'm planning of kidnapping his wife, and when he bites our bait, that's the time we strike," she announced evilly.

However, Liam's left lips twitched that she did not see after hearing her plan.

Warren went back to his office, and he was surprised to see Grey sitting on his chair, which stopped him from walking.

"You scared me there, dude. What are you doing here in my office?" Warren mentioned as he calmed down, and approached him.

"Scared you? Why, is there something I need to know?" Grey speculated, and narrowed his eyes looking at him.

"Get out," Warren said, and pushed him out of his chair.

"Come on, dude, tell me. What is it?" Grey asked, standing on his seat.

"Nothing, dude. It's none of your business," Warren dismissed, and put down the envelope in front of him.

"Okay. So, did you get in?" Grey shrugged his shoulders, dismissing it, but then, he asked him.

"Of course. But I did not get a contract yet. Someone interrupted us while discussing over it. I will meet him again tomorrow," Warren answered, and loosen his necktie.

"That's good," Grey shortly replied, and sat down in the couch when his phone rung for a call. He fished his phone, and when he saw the name caller, he quickly answered it. "Hi. You're done reviewing?" he sweetly asked over the phone.

Meanwhile, Warren smiled seeing his friend changed mood when his wife called. "I wish I could have a wife too, just like my best friend," he whispered inside his mind.

"Not yet. I'm taking a break," Kat replied on the other line, feeling tired while sitting down on the couch.

"Not yet? I see. Don't worry, I'm coming home early. Do you want something on my way home? Food?" Grey spoke on the phone sweetly.

"Can I get a cheese popcorn, barbecue fries, bucket of original chicken, and barbecue nuggets?" Kat sweetly mentioned.

"Sure, everything for you. Wait for me," Grey responded with a chuckle because she wants a lot of food.

"Okay. Take care on your way home, okay? I love you, my Hubby," she grinned.

"I will. I love you, more. See you later. Bye," Grey answered, and dropped the call.

"I love you, more. See you later. Bye," Warren mimicked his friend as he mocked him, while he is looking down on paper works.

"Shut up. Jealousy much?" Grey told with a smile, and threw the pillow at Warren that it landed on his face. "I have to go now, and my wife is waiting for me. Talk to you tomorrow, dude," he mentioned, and bid a goodbye too to him.

"Find me a wife, too!" Warren whined, and threw the pillow on the couch while looking at his friend's back.

"You can easily find one. Use your charm to women as you always do, playboy. Then, call me if I'm going to be your best man," Grey commented with a chuckle, and closed the door behind him as he went out of his friend's office.

"And who says you're going to be my best man even though, you made me your best man at your wedding?!" Warren shouted as he countered him. "But yeah, I will call him my best man, too, if I get married," he chuckles.

In a few minutes, Grey got home, and he was greeted with a beautiful smile, and warm embrace by his wife that he look forward to seeing every time he comes home.

"Thank you, Hubby," she sweetly said, and pulled him to the couch.

She, then, opened the television so, they can watch while eating.

"I thought you're reviewing?" he asked, and put his arm around her.

"I can do that later," she giggles, and resumed eating her food that she also gives him.

"Have you been to Palawan?" he curiously questioned while eating popcorn.

"Palawan? Where's that?" she questioned, diverting her attention to him.

"In the Philippines. It's a beautiful island. Do you want to come with me there? Let's have our honeymoon there," he suggested with a grin on his face.

"Honeymoon?" she mentioned, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah. Why? You don't like? We haven't had our honeymoon since we got married after you got into an accident," he replied, convincing her more.

"You have a point," she answered with a nod, and turned her head to the television.

"Palawan it is. Pack your things after this movie, okay? And we will leave tomorrow morning," he told, and he kissed the top of her head.

"Okay," she responded, and looked up at him with her lips pouting.

He chuckles at her behavior, and he kissed her lips as she was asking for it.

"I love you," she sincerely announced.

"And, I love you more," he replied, and possessively, deeply kissed her again.
