"Joy get me some painkillers, my head hurts, " Liana said walking to her living room. Joy ran back to her holding the medicine and water.
"It's been a week and we finally fixed that crazy woman's mess. It's great you were prepared " Joy muttered.
"Praise my pretty face and good brain for being able to avert this trouble. Tracy and those lousy competitors thought they could bring me down with such a trick " swallowing the pills with water she fell back on her couch.
"You should rest, now that things are moving smoothly. Lucian and I can take care of the rest. You work hard since you had to do all those shoots attend meetings and press conferences and even apologize to our fans " Joy rubbed Liana's shoulders.
"Right now I just want to close my eyes and sleep. If you guys need me for anything then sent me an email or call " she said.
"Okay got it, now let's get you to bed " Joy helped Liana up to her room and then left.
Liana was too tired to change but the clothes made her uncomfortable. She got up, eyes still closed, and lazily pulled off her coat.
"Ahh, this is annoying I can't even take off my clothes " she cried.
A hand slid to her back holding her still. She felt her head hit a warm surface. Her eyes moved to meet with his golden eyes.
"Why are you here, I never called you. Am still angry with you in case you forgot " she lazily said.
"Let me help," he said. Xavier gently pulled off her coat then her pants and blouse. "Better?" he asked
She nodded, "Am just a little sweaty " her eyes half closed.
"Should I give you a bath?" he whispered into her ear.
"That would take too long and am drowsy," she said.
He carried her off the bed, "Don't worry go to sleep and let me take care of you " he said.
Liana's arm held around his neck and fully closed her eyes. Xavier got the bath ready and slowly laid her down into the tub. She sighed peacefully as his soft hands moved over her naked body.
The warmth and his hands washed away all her stress and fatigue. He wrapped her in a towel and returned to her room.
Choosing a simple night dress, Xavier dried her body and got her dressed. He laid her in bed with her head on his lap as he quietly dried her hair.
Finally asleep, he covered her and sat beside her.
"Am glad you thought about me even when you agree with me. Have sweet dreams, my angel, I love you Liana always remembers that " he said in her ear before leaving.
Liana woke up the next after Joy woke her up for breakfast. She looked around her room and frowned.
"So it wasn't a dream, he was here" she smiled noticing the red night dress she was wearing.
She giggled, "what is it with him and red "
Joy served her breakfast and delivered the documents for her to sign.
"Lucian said he will pass by in the evening to check on you. So dinner will e delivered by him " informed Joy.
"Okay, just tell him to come earlier. I might be away when he comes late " she said.
"Going somewhere?" Joy asked.
"Mmm, am going to see my boyfriend," she said.
Joy laughed, "I thought you were angry at him "
"I was but he took care of me last night and reminded me that I love him no matter what," she said.
"Your crazy boss, we both know you were not angry you just wanted him to know that you hate your parents," said Joy.
Liana frowned, "I don't hate my parents 'cause I don't have any," she said.
Joy scowled while she nodded her head.
She knew better not to start that topic with Liana so she fell silent.
