Chapter 66 That was awkward
Ava's p.o.v
"Mom, can you please leave this place!" She looked over at Alina.
"You guys please excuse us, Liam I think we shall be in touch and Ava, I'm so sorry to meet up with you in such a manner," Alina stood up from her seat and followed her daughter behind then they disappeared out of sight.
"Okay, that was awkward, but it's now done. But tell me something. I heard Alina and her girl saying that you paid them a visit at their place, when was that?" I asked.
"Uhm babe, I visited Alina's place on the same day I didn't show up on our lunch date," he replied.
" Oh, so that's why you didn't show up, and you lied to me that you're busy with work... Oh wait, that was the day I came over to your office, and you weren't there, meaning that time I was waiting for you at the office. You were with Alina, right?" I asked
"Yes, you're right, and I'm so sorry for lying to you," he tried reaching out for my hands, and I put them away.
"So how many times are you thinking you're going to say sorry to me? Because as a person, I'm so fed up with that word already," I folded my hands.
" Ava, as many times as possible as long as it's you I'm apologising to I wouldn't mind saying it over and over again," he replied.
" okay whatever let me go back to work, please." I stood up from my seat and picked up my phone from the table.
" Okay, so should I pick you up from work in the evening?" He asked.
" Liam, I drove myself to work in the morning, meaning I came with my car," I replied.
"But you can still leave your car in the parking lot, and it will be safe there so I can pick you up in the evening," he stood up and came where I was standing.
"Okay, fine, but don't make me wait for long," I pointed at him, and he smiled.
We were walking to the elevator when we saw the waiter coming without orders and we looked at each other in disappointment. Then Liam talked to the waiter to pack our orders because we couldn't sit down to take it.
" What about Alina's and the girl's?" I asked
" Don't worry, I'm going to clear it, but I'll give it away to someone at the office, " he replied.
Now we have to go back and sit down, then wait for the waiter to pack the food.
It took him for about 5 minutes, and he came back with our packed food. Then we left the restaurant.
He first escorted me back to my office and made sure that I was okay, then he proceeded to his.
I was busy working when I received a call from Herman and of course I refuse to pick it up because I know he brings nothing but trouble.
He called the second time and ignored this again but on the third call, I decided to pick it up because you had started making me uncomfortable with these calls.
" Herman, what the hell do you want from me now?" I asked.
" Hey calm down, I just called to tell you that your lawyer called me up concerning the divorce and we scheduled the day to meet up," he replied.
"Oh is that so?! Okay so which day did you give him?" I asked.
" This evening, I'm surprised that he hasn't communicated yet so unprofessional," I heard him laughing in the background.
" this evening! Why in the evening, why not tomorrow during lunch break because in the evening I'll be so exhausted I won't be thinking straight," I replied.
"Come on kitty, it's not that we are going to a business meeting that will require you to be thinking straight, the only thing here that is required of you is to write your signature on the divorce papers, because this is what you wanted right?" He asked.
"Yes finally! okay then let's meet up, where are we meeting by the way?" I asked
"At your favorite restaurant, hope it's not far from your work place?" He asked.
"No it's not far, just a 15 minutes drive, okay I'll be there at 7: 00pm," I replied.
"All right see you then," he then hung up.
I was planning to text my lawyer and ask him why he hasn't communicated such important information yet but unfortunately it slipped my mind and got busy at work... I ate my packed lunch as I was working on the laptop.
Evening reached and I texted Liam that he would be meeting up with Herman and the lawyer to sign the divorce papers.
He said it was okay to meet up from home when I'm done with everything and I'm sure he wasn't happy about it that I was going to meet up with Herman.
I reached the restaurant at around 6: 30 because I hate being late on appointments... I ordered a cup of coffee to keep me sober as I'm waiting for the gentlemen.
When it looked 7pm,I saw Herman's car pulling off in the parking lot.
When he stepped out of the car I saw him pulling out his phone from his pocket and pressing it. Then I received this call. I picked it up and told him that I was right inside.
" Come inside, you will see me sitting in the corner," I replied.
I saw him walking inside the restaurant and when he entered, I lifted my hand in the air for the signal where I was and he walked towards my table.
" Kitty, you are really good with time management. I love that for you," he took up the seat opposite mine.
" So have you talked to the lawyer, how far is he?" I asked.
" when he hasn't communicated yet but I'm sure I will be in a few," he replied
" Come on what do you mean he hasn't communicated yet! as a matter of fact he had to be the first one to get here. Anyways let me call him up and see where he is," I reached out to my phone.
" No, you don't have to do that," he stopped me.
"Herman, I'm really tired... I don't want to spend more than an hour here so let me call the guy and see what he is,"I got my phone but he ended the call before it went through.
“Herman, what the hell?” I asked him
“ Okay listen to me,the lawyer is not coming,” he blurted while leaning behind in his seat.
