All people’s eyes landed on Rita and Liam because Liam’s words.
Rita blushed because they just became the center of attention. “Let go of me. I’m working...”
“Let go of me.” Seeing that Liam had no action, Rita looked up confusedly.
Liam then retracted his look from Tomas and loosened his strength, “Okay.”
Seeing the Liam was being so protective, Lillian was really shocked.
Then Liam’s phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Liam paused for a second and answered the phone, “Hello.”
Liam frowned hearing caller’s words, but he still looked cold, “Okay, I will go back now.”
Liam then hung up the phone and looked at Rita affectionately, “I have to go back to the company now.”
“Okay. You go deal with it first.” Rita sensed that this matter was urgent and answered briskly.
But she was hugged tightly by Liam at the very next second.
It seemed like he would never get tired of hugging her.
“You have to video call me every night at nine o’clock.” Liam said lightly and sounded serious.
“Are you going to be away for a long time?” Rita blinked her eyes in bewilderment.
“There is something wrong with a project and I have to go there in person. It would probably take half a month.” Liam then said again, “You can’t bring other men to your apartment.”
Rita was taken aback by his words. How come that he changed the subject so quickly?
She stroked her forehead and said, “Even though they are my friends?”
“Yep.”
Rita and Lillian were both taken aback by Liam’s words.
‘It’s lucky that she is a woman, or she definitely wouldn’t be allowed to be near Rita.’ Lillian thought inside.
“Okay, be good. I will be back soon.” Liam then pecked Rita on the lips.
Lima would definitely give Rita a lingering kiss if there weren’t that many people present and he was afraid that Rita would be shy.
Rita blushed and answered, “Okay.”
Then Liam just left.
Looking at Liam’s back, Lillian wrapped her arms on Rita’s shoulder and said, “Wow, he is finally gone. He sure loves to show off your love, huh?”
Rita didn’t say anything and just looked at Liam strong back.
She was actually feeling weird inside.
Was it anxiety?
She can’t really tell.
Rita knew that this weird feeling was actually an omen many years later.
Because this warm hug was this last sweet moment before they became strangers.
But now Rita didn’t know that estrangement was lurking behind.
When it was lunch time, Euan, Rita, Lillian and Tomas were eating together.
They looked at each other and Euan forced a smile, “Miss. Brown also have the takeaways.!”
Rita nodded, pulling Lillian to sit in a corner.
