What Are You Doing?

Lana was finally a little happy as Liam spoke for himself and did not even hesitate in reprimanding Rio rudely, but she was also a little disturbed by the way Liam acted with her, something a woman like her was not used to.

Such closeness with him was something she had never imagined she would have with any man for any reason. But because of the act she couldn't push him away, and strangely she didn't feel repulsive as she would normally feel if any man tried to come close to her.

Lana pursed her lips while Liam still held her in his arms as they walked towards his car. He pulled out the car keys from his pocket and pressed the door.

"Where's Andrew?" Lana asked when Liam opened the door for her and the driver was nowhere to be seen.

"Get in," Liam instructed with a still blank face. Lana stopped enquiring and silently obeyed him and got in the front passenger seat of the car.

Liam shut the door and walked round the car. He sat on the driver's seat and in a still more solemn mood buckled his seat belt. He was too quiet even when he started the engine and stepped on the gas to leave the place.

Lana felt awkward with the atmosphere. She knew things had been a little too overboard that evening and so she said, "About earlier…"

"You don't need to explain. I can tell what kind of woman Rio is. But what irritated me is that you did not even bother to ask me for any help and easily accepted help from some strangers. Even when your dress was spoiled and you wanted to change that gown, you could have at least given me a call about it. What is it that I, Liam Sy, can not arrange in this entire city in a flash of time?" Liam fired out without even waiting for Lana to finish her explanation.

He could not understand why Lana would not ask him first if she needed any help.

Lana gulped and explained, "I didn't want to disturb you. Besides, everything happened so fast and I had to immediately run to the washroom, and didn't I tell you that I can manage everything. It just so happened Brione saw me and offered help since my stylist would take quite a while to reach there."

"Didn't you think before wearing this dress into the party what kind of dress you wore. There's too much skin exposed in this. That Brione, she does not have an excellent taste in dressing at all." Liam mumbled that made Lana chuckle.

"Goodness Liam Sy. You really are something. Any man would drool if they see me in this gown. Most men would love this kind of dress on women where there's more skin to see on women you know." Lana scoffed because that was reality.

She looked at Liam and shook her head. She almost forgot that Liam had no interest in women, so no wonder he could not appreciate her sexiness.

"Hmm, but I must say… You impressed me when you kissed me even after seeing Rio Tang on the floor! And then when you hurled those threatening words towards her, hmm, very well done. You finally took the right approach... Express yourself. Sweep away all those women pestering you around and don't give them false hope and impression by treating them nicely." Lana could not help but comment.

Liam did not respond, but in his thought, it was the least he could do to clear everything out to Rio. He couldn't still get off Noah's mocking words from his mind! Enjoying himself on that dance floor with a celebrity leaving his girlfriend to suffer! No way!

Lana felt really tired and sleepy, probably because she had enough alcoholic drinks already so she unconsciously drowsed off to sleep.

Liam had mixed emotions at that moment. He dismissed Andrew because he knew Andrew was practically Jorge's eyes on him and he just wanted to irritate Jorge so that he could not fish out anything about the ambiance after the party. But partially he also did so because he wanted to have some time alone with Lana and drive her home on his own.

Liam was aware that it was weird for him to act in this manner. It's not like he had not seen beautiful women, but Lana was definitely one who was not a bit attracted to him or wanted to take any advantage from him. Maybe also because he was attracted to Lana? But he definitely felt different from he had felt for any other woman.

Liam consoled and convinced himself that what he was feeling was just pure physical attraction for Lana and that was perfectly normal for a man to get attracted to a beautiful woman.

He heaved a long sigh and focussed on driving instead of thinking too much of unnecessary things.

He reminded himself at that moment that he was Liam Sy, and he must get his act straight and not let his guard down against female species because they were all wicked by nature. They would pretend to love you but wouldn't take a minute in betraying you for their benefits.

Finally, he arrived at Lana's house. He stopped the car and turned his head towards Lana and found her sleeping. He was about to wake Lana up, but the mere sight of her peacefully sleeping face was just too mesmerizing.

He unblinkingly kept looking at her innocent face and at moment Lana looked so meek and docile.

"Very different to her real self when she is awake," he muttered while a smile slipped past his face. For some reason, he did not want to wake Lana up.

He leaned on her to slowly adjust her seat and slanted it so that Lana could comfortably sleep in the car until she woke up.

He sighed as he sat back in his seat and adjusted his seat also and relaxed his back on it.

"What are you doing Liam?" he whispered to himself as he looked forward, trying not to look at Lana's direction.

It took him a few minutes before he decided to wake her up. He gathered his thoughts.

He turned to her and inadvertently his eyes got stuck at Lana's face, his gaze gently swept across her perfectly shaped eyebrows down to her pointed nose and then his orbs paused long on her heart-shaped red lips that he was fond of kissing.

Liam was magnetically attracted to her lips and without him knowing, he slowly leaned forward on Lana's face. He felt like there was a force pulling him towards those luscious lips of her. As he reached closer, he closed his eyes and inhaled her enchanting scent that he was hypnotically attracted towards whenever he even thought about it.

He leaned further closer to her and opened his eyes to closely look at her beautiful lips. There was only an inch distance between their lips when Liam's heart stopped beating, hearing Lana's voice, "What are you doing?"
