The baby contract novel Chapter 59

Carla shrugged " I've been doing pretty good as you can see, how are you too? " She asked in return. 

Amanda smiled " I'm good too, but heck, I missed you so much "

" I missed you more " Carla replied and they both laughed. 

" Imagine how I felt when I heard about your wedding... " She meant to start a long conversation but Liam cut her off. 

" I'm sorry Amanda, but we really have somewhere to be right now. You guys can talk later and catch up on good ol' times but right now, we really have to go " He said apologetically. 

" Oh it's fine boss, we'll talk later, right Carla? " Amanda asked, sending Carla a motherly smile. 

Carla smiled back " Of course, see ya! " She managed to say as Liam practically dragged her away. 

" Bye! " Amanda shouted after her. 

" Wait! " She snapped at Liam and he released his hold on her with an exhausted sigh. 

" What is it, woman? " He asked wearily. 

She glared at him " I am perfectly capable of walking, thank you " 

" I'm sorry " Liam apologized. 

She smiled up at him " Hey it's fine " and she snaked her hands around his arm. As usual, they were the object of attention as people stared at them openly. 

They walked to the executive parking space where Ben stood, waiting. He looked awkward and scared maybe as Liam pinned his hard gaze on him. 

He trembled slightly " Good... Good day sir " And he looked to Carla any help of some sort and Carla gave him a reassuring smile. 

" We'll have a man to man talk later Ben, but right now, I have to go out " 

Ben nodded automatically and opened the car door. 

" And I'm driving so you can do whatever you want till I get back " Liam said and went over to the driver's side. 

He got in and his butt had barely hit the seat when Carla started her interrogation. 

" So where are we going and what are we going to do there? " She asked, a bright smile on her face. 

Liam groaned and instead of replying, he reached over and did her seatbelt properly. Carla repeated her question, louder this time. 

Liam grunted " I thought I already told you "

She started to argue " But you didn't... "

Liam cut in " I explained everything Carla, SIGHTSEEING, I did say that " 

" Oh " That was the only reply she gave and she sat back on the seat, letting the air blow her hair. 

The ride took about twenty minutes and Carla enjoyed every bit of it. He stopped the car in front of a chapel, church or whatever. Then he came to open the door for her. She sent him a smile of gratitude as he helped her down. 

" What's this place? " She breathed out in admiration. 

He came up beside her " It's called Vera's Temple " 

" Wow, it's beautiful " She took in the tall building, it looked sacred and at the same time, a sight for tourist attraction.
