CHAPTER 21

LIAM'S VILLA:

Isabella held the tray with one as she gave a slight knock on the wooden door of Liam's room.

"Whose there". Liam's cold voice ringed in her ear as she nervously replied.

"It's Isabella".

There was silence for a few seconds before he eventually spoke "Come in".

Isabella opened the door to see him sitting on the large sofa. She walked in after closing the door behind her.

"Mr Russell your coffee". She said extending the tray for him to pick up the cup but he didn't instead he stared blankly at her with his cold eyes.

"Isabella". He called out her name, his gaze fixed on her face.

"Where were you all day". He asked but this it wasn't in the same tone he used downstairs.

Isabella stood still as she faced the floor and replied"sir, I took my sister out I was coming from there".

Liam just stared at her a devilish smirk formed on his lips.

"You're lying". He said rather calmly.

"I'm not". Was her only reply, still looking at the tiled floor.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you". He said sternly as she looked up to meet his cold gaze.

"Sir, I only took my sister to the park". She replied, almost trembling due to his cold yet intense gaze on her face.

"So you didn't meet with anyone except your sister". He asked eyeing her suspiciously.

Isabella thought carefully and suddenly remembered her meeting with Adam. Was that what he was talking about? But why was he angry she was just visiting a friend? How does he know who I met with today? Was he stalking me? Different thoughts ran through her mind as she too also stared at him until he suddenly broker the silence.

"I asked you a question". He said as he stood up to his feet, his hands in his pockets.

"Mr Russell, I...I meet with a friend of mine today". She stated as she bit her lower lip.

"You said earlier that you didn't go anywhere". He smirked.

"I didn't think it was important to tell you that I saw a friend but I still didn't lie...I took my sister out". She replied.

"Wasn't important". He frowned.

"You're my personal maid I have the right to know where you've been and with whom you're with". He said firmly as Isabella just stared at him.

"Yes sir". Isabella quickly replied.

"Wait! Who was that man". He asked but Isabella stared at him confused.

"How does he know that her friend was a male friend?, Was he keeping an eye on her?". She thought.

"Sir, he's a friend of mine". She replied.

"You shouldn't be friends with a man, he'll take advantage of you". He stated as she looked up at him confused as if he was saying nonsense.

"He can't take advantage of me". Was all she said.
