164 Money And Power

Evening fell, and soon it was time for dinner. Lana glanced at her mobile phone, wondering why Liam was not back yet since he said he would join them for dinner.

'Since when did you care?' she silently barked. She busied herself in her thesis work and just finished some unfinished paperwork she would need to submit to the university for her final assessment. She smiled at the thought of graduating and finally having her license as a lawyer.

She looked at the wall clock and saw that it was almost dinnertime. Lana stood up from her chair and went out of her study room. 

She once again looked at her mobile phone, but there were no calls or text messages there, so she put it on her bedside table before walking towards the door.

*Ring *Ring *Ring

Lana almost tripped as she abruptly turned around and walked hurriedly trotted back to grab her mobile phone that kept on ringing on her bedside table.
