Chapter 24. His Coffer
My worktable made has office! I couldn’t believe him!
My workstation should be outside his office so I could accommodate his visitors. That was the proper position for his executive assistant–me.
As I made Liam’s coffee in the pantry connected to his office, I kept thinking his idea was absurd. My hands stopped stirring the coffee when I heard someone approaching from behind
I turned around and saw one of Liam’s men coming. He was the one who had carried Camulle Davis earlier.
He bowed his head slightly at me in greeting and turned to leave, but I quickly called out to him.
“Do you need something here? Coffee? A drink?”
I thought he would ignore me, just like they all ignored me this morning, which had led me to that awkward situation with their boss.
“It’s okay. Madam” he replied
I froze at what he called me…
Madam.
I let out an awkward laugh and avoided his gue. “Oh, I’m not a Madam here, sir. You can call me Mia. What’s your name?”
It took him a few seconds before he answered. “Jason. Madam
I said it’s Mia! Stop calling me that. I am not your Madam! That title only belongs to Liam’s partner, and that’s definitely not me.
Not anymore.
“I said it’s Mia” I repeated firmly.
He didn’t say a word and was about to turn away after bowing slightly when I stepped closer.
“Can I ask what happened to Camille? Is she okay?” I asked casually, though I could feel the nervousness building inside me,
I couldn’t help it. I kept telling myself I shouldn’t care, but I couldn’t stop. It wasn’t my concern, but witnessing bow that woman had almost lost her Life in front of me–how could I not think about her!
“I’m asking you, Jason,” I said again, my tone firmer now. It sounded less like a question and more like an order. I cringed inwardly.
inding like you’re his “Madam”
God. Mi stop sounding like
Clearing my throat, I forced a laugh and quickly added, “Never mind. Forget I asked. I’ll just make you some coffee if you’d like. I volunteered, trying to sound friendly, hoping that would get me the information I wanted.
But why would I think that would work!
I knew Liam’s men only followed him. They were like robots, programmed solely to serve their boss.
Jason opened his mouth to respond, but a cold, familiar voice cut through the air before he could.
“And why would you do that. Mia! Is he your boss?”
I jumped slightly, spinning around to face Liam. I hadn’t even noticed him walk in. His piercing gaze flicked between me and Jason.
“Tm asking you, Mia” he repeated when I didn’t answer hum, sull caught off guard by his sudden presence.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Jason swallowed hard, and his face turned pale. He bowed his head and quietly exited the room, leaving me alone with Lam at the pantry.
“I’m just trying to be friendly here, Liam,” I said, returning to his coffee that I had been stirring earlier.
“Friendly“” he scoffed like he hated the word I said
- “Why would you br
