Capítulo 58: Did She Really Do That
Lana spent her entire Sunday lazing at her home and swearing to herself to never drink like that ever again. She ordered delivery for both lunch and dinner. She also enquired about her car and found that it was also not ready yet.
She felt too lazy to go back home and get another car for herself and was afraid of her mother's nagging if she asked her to send the car, so she just picked up the case of Gale and started to ponder over it once again. Her thoughts quickly drifted to Liam, and she wondered what exactly made him stay at her house at night.
She again tried to recall and except for a little of her blabbering she was unable to remember anything else.
Lana felt things were a bit weird by the way Liam explained everything to her, but was defeated by her not being able to remember anything.
She then focussed on the case and started to prepare the list of possible conspiracy theories her mind could gather regarding the case of the murder of the rich businessman on his wedding night. She listed down the names of relatives and beneficiaries after his death and also the list of family members who were close to the deceased and those who were against him in any way. Then she concentrated on the list of names of friends and servants in the family home and his important employees. By night she felt a little satisfied with her list of inquiries and questions, as she knew Liam wanted her to assist him in that case..
She woke up on Monday Morning and got ready to go to the office. She was about to call for a cab when her mobile phone started ringing.
"I'm outside. Are you ready?" Liam asked. She creased her forehead and said, "You don't have to pick me up every morning."
"Just come out once you're ready. We will go directly to the detention center and meet the client." Liam plainly specified.
"I'm coming out now," Lana mumbled as she hung up the phone and quickly ran outside her house.
She halted, seeing Liam outside, leaning on his car door, looking intently into his mobile. Her mind was suddenly filled with the images of that Greek deity figure she saw in her bathroom yesterday.
She blinked her eyes and saw how handsome he looked in his casual posture, even when he wore a business suit. She was obviously smitten with that handsome view, but she chided herself and deliberately shook her head to erase the unnecessary dirty thoughts crawling in her mind.
She was helpless, although she hated to get close to men, but she was still a human being, and who wouldn't admire such a beauty standing in front of her. She grinned at her own silly reasoning and thoughts.
Liam saw her grinning foolishly and asked with his raised eyebrows, "Is there something funny?" Then he opened the door for Lana.
"Oh yeah, you… Picking me up like this is funny. Wait… You're driving today also? Where's Andrew again?" Lana asked.
"Get in. Andrew is sick." Liam almost whispered while his left hand lifted and started massaging his nape.
Lana sat down on the front passenger seat. Liam followed soon and took the driver's seat.
"He looked fine last time I saw him at your place." Lana mumbled and Liam did not comment.
"Do you want me to drive? I remember Miley said you hated driving." Lana offered herself as the sacrificial lamb.
"It's okay. I usually drive myself when I go out on the field like this." Liam countered before gulping. He didn't know why, but that morning he denied the services of Andrew and now when asked he couldn't even say the truth in front of Lana.
He hated driving, especially on field days like this, but for some reasons, he had had an urge to drive on his own lately. It could be because he knew that Andrew was one of Jorge's spies, passing his information about Lana and his interactions to Jorge and eventually to his dad?
Lana's stomach rumbled, so she suggested, "Can we have a detour through a drive thru? Sorry to bother you, but I'll just grab some coffee and a sandwich and eat in the car itself."
Liam simply nodded, but he did not take to a drive thru but parked his car in a restaurant along the way.
"Let's dine. I will eat breakfast too." Lana heard Liam speak before going out of his car. Lana followed.
"Don't you usually eat breakfast with your family before leaving for work?" Lana asked with knitted brows when they finally sat on the chairs.
Instead of answering, Liam signaled the waiter and told Lana to give her order. Liam ordered a plain black coffee and murmured, "I want to drink coffee."
"But aren't we late? I mean I can eat inside the car and you can have coffee there too." Lana casually commented. Worried because she usually knew Liam was strict with his appointments.
Liam dropped his shoulders in frustration. Was it so difficult to have a coffee with this woman? Lana asked too many unnecessary questions. He swept a glance at her anxious face, seemingly waiting for him to answer, so he said, "I don't like drinking coffee while driving Lana."
Lana finally pursed her lips and nodded. She looked at Liam with narrowed eyes, wondering if it would be okay to ask Liam about him being gay. But for some reason there was this unknown force stopping her from asking.
'Maybe I should drop this idea of asking him at all and it would be better for me to think of him that way.' Lana assumed.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped when she remembered her few actions while staring at Liam. She recalled flashbacks of that night, like kissing him on her bed and calling him handsome. Lana's eyes rounded in terror. She fell silent and started feeling a little embarrassed.
'Did she really do that to him?'

Capítulo 59: Live A Happy Life
Lana stared at Liam in shock, and embarrassment was clearly written on her lovely face.
Liam narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "What's wrong? Do I have something funny written on my face?"
Lana gulped while her face unconsciously reddened.
To hide her embarrassment, she nodded and said, "There's morning glory near your eyes."
"A what?" Liam asked, not convinced. Lana slightly leaned as if looking closely in his eyes.
"Oh sorry, I'm nearsighted. I guess there's nothing in the close-up view," she innocently murmured and sat back down on her seat.
She was hesitant to ask Liam about those embarrassing moments so she better kept it in heart and took it to her grave and not dig it out.
She bit her lips and cringed while the scene played in her mind like a flash screen. 'Darn!' she inwardly cursed. She remembered that she was the one who kissed him most of the time.
'I called him handsome GAY,' Lana continued to ponder in her memories, trying to recall if Liam answered her with her accusation of him being a gay.
'Hold on! It was him who kissed me first!' She silently defended with squinted eyes, but then she couldn't afford to confront Liam because he could counter her by simply saying that she kissed him back multiple times.
She was in that deep thought when their order came.
"Why aren't you eating? I thought, you're hungry?" Lana heard Liam speak. She gave him an awkward smile before she touched her breakfast.
"Where are we going by the way? Is it to meet Mrs. Gale Ming?" she asked next, trying to erase the recollection of her memories of that night. She remembered Liam said that they would focus on her case since the trial would begin soon.
"Do you personally know her?" she asked next and Liam raised his head to look at her for a few seconds and simply nodded.
Lana pouted her lips because Liam was too quiet to handle and she didn't get any chance to pry further in the matter. It was like he did not want to disclose anything about Miss Gale and him, except if it was about the case, so she thought maybe she would ask Jorge about this later.
But that silence did not stop her from talking.
"You know, that Gilbert Ming seemed to be a good person. He has no enemy. He has a lot of charity foundations and is very famous for helping others. He is quite generous to people too, so I wonder who would dare murder him and frame it to his wife? It said, he has a good relationship with his family as well." Lana casually commented.
"He was quite a catch for any woman. So first I thought there could be a third party involved or something like that, but surprisingly, he never had a girlfriend since birth or been in a scandal with any other women. So they say Miss Gale was really lucky for having such an almost perfect man. Him being handsome and young was an added bonus.
They looked perfect in the photos, too much in love with each other, handsome and beautiful, very loving and adorable couple, as what others would remark. I think it's because of money. We should check more on his siblings and relatives. I agree that it's a framed up case. Poor Mrs. Gale…
She lost her dear husband in a brutally tragic way and at worst the real culprit is still out there making her the scapegoat. I really hate it when they use a naive woman like her for their crimes." Lana added before drinking her coffee.
She too felt so engrossed in the case and vowed to do everything she could to help Liam prove Mrs. Gale's innocence.
"Can we please have a quiet breakfast, Lana?" Liam dryly commented.
Lana's mouth twitched with that dull response, so she kept her mouth shut rather than talking to a statue.
After breakfast they headed to the detention center. Lana went out first but was startled that Liam was still in the driver's seat and had not even made any gesture of coming down so she opened her door and asked, "Why are you not coming out?"
Liam sat there without moving. His hands were still on the steering wheel and his eyes were fixed on a spot in front of him as well.
"Liam!" Lana called again. "What's wrong with you?" she murmured.
She went back inside and snapped her fingers in front of Liam's face. "Hey!!! Are you okay?" she probed.
Liam finally went back to himself and answered, "Yeah, I'm good. Let's go."
They both then went out of the car and walked inside the detention center together. They showed their papers and approval for meeting Mrs. Gale and were escorted inside the waiting room. There they waited for Mrs. Gale Ming.
Soon, a beautiful woman in a prisoner's outfit with handcuffs was escorted inside. Her head was lowered, and an officer guided her to sit on a chair.
Lana saw the woman was in very low spirits and she didn't even bother to look at the people who were there to see her. Gale heaved a long sigh before sarcastically muttered, "What's the sense for a pro bono lawyer to help in this hopeless case with no evidence in my favour."
Lana could sense how hopeless she was with those words and tone of her voice. She didn't even give them a single look and a few tears were already visible on her face.
"You said you will live a happy life… What's this now?" Liam murmured with an aggrieved expression.
Hearing his voice, Gale suddenly lifted her head, and shock was visible on her face. Her eyes darted at Liam in terror and she panicked a little when she saw him sitting in front of her.
"Liam?" she said in a raspy, doubtful tone that almost came out as a whisper to them.
