" Light Henderson's mystery woman?
...me? "
Lucia Camden digested the content of the news that popped up on her phone, she looked away from her phone and her eyes met with Jada Skylar's piercing blue eyes, her eyes bearing a lot of questions, Lucia could tell just by looking at her.
Jada stared silently at Lucia before bursting into laughter leaving Lucia confused as hell.
" What's funny? Why are you laughing at me? " Lucia asked confused
' Does she know I'm the one in the picture? ' Lucia asked herself in her subconsciousness.
" Light Henderson has a woman? Impossible..." Jada said confidently, still laughing.
' Thank goodness ' Lucia heaved a huge sigh of relief
Lucia realized Jada had not figured out yet that she was the one in the pictures.
" Why do you think so ? " Lucia played along in order to keep Jada from suspecting her.
" Any woman who can stand his arrogance can go to hell and come out unscathed " Jada replied amidst tears, she had laughed so much that she started crying.
" I agree " Lucia muttered silently
" What? " Jada asked, unable to clearly hear what Lucia said.
" Uh? Nothing... By the way, how do you know him? Is he a celebrity? '' Lucia questioned Jada with curiosity written all over her, judging from the way Jada talked, she must have had close relationship with Light.
" Something like that... We were close in the past but as we grew up things changed I guess " Jada replied feeling nostalgic.
" Must have been bad? " Lucia asked, noticing the mood Jada was in.
" Not really... We ended up cutting ties " Jada replied with a serious face.
Lucia stared at Jada for a while, she wondered what type of relationship Jada had with Light Henderson that made her so bitter when she was reminded of him.
Jada noticed Lucia was staring at her and faked a smile.
" Don't think too much about it... Just pray you never get involved with someone like him " Jada said still smiling but Lucia could tell she was serious.
' That's bad... I didn't just get involved with someone like him... I got involved with the man himself '
" Mm.. " Lucia faked a smile.

Liam Henderson walked out of the bathroom with only a towel strapped around his waist, he cleaned his hair with a towel as memories of Lucia flooded his mind, how she stared at him throughout the time he was bedazzled.
' Why am I thinking of her?
We'll probably never meet again ' Liam concluded.
Liam's phone rang and he checked the caller ID.
' Yao? Why is Yvette Henderson calling me? '
Liam thought as he picked up the phone and accepted the call.
" Yvette Henderson..." Liam said rudely.
" Liam Henderson! " Yvette Henderson shouted
Liam put the phone away from his ear, resisting the urge to hang up on his Yvette.
" Yvette I'm not ready to continue the 'get a wife' conver— " Liam was about to say before Yvette Henderson interrupted him.
" Why didn't you tell me about her? " Yvette Henderson asked excitedly
" About who? "
" Don't play dumb... You shouldn't have gone on a public date if you wanted to play dumb "
Mrs Yvette teased.
" I don't know what you are talking about Yvette... I'll call you later " Liam cut the call and immediately dialed Kyle Harts, his secretary.
" Did you see the news? " Kyle asked over the phone.
" What news? " Liam questioned.
" I'll send it to you " Kyle said and cut the call.
Within a few seconds, a message came in from Kyle.
" What? "
Liam stared at the pictures of Lucia and himself Kyle sent him.
"Light Henderson's mystery woman? " Leicheng read out the caption snickering.
He dropped his phone on the night stand and changed into a nightwear.
He dialed Kyle's number once again.
" Have you seen them? " Kyle asked on receiving the call.
" Wipe it off the internet " Liam deadpanned and cut the call.
He laid on the bed and drifted off to sleep thinking about how Lucia managed to still be a bother to him even though she was not present.

The next morning, Kyle Harts came to pick Liam up .
" Boss I'm in front of your house " Kyle said once Liam picked his call.
" I'm coming down, " Liam replied and hung up.
A minute later Liam came down ready for work, Kyle opened the backseat door for him, and he entered into the car.
Kyle drove off to the Light Empire.
At light empire, the employees lined up in order of rank to welcome Liam Henderson.
" He's here " A lady said and everyone bowed.
Kyle opened the door and Liam Henderson walked in.
" Welcome Mr Henderson " Everyone said in unison.
" This isn't necessary "
Liam whispered to Kyle on noticing how many people had gathered just to welcome him.
" It is boss... Courtesy demands '' Kyle replied immediately.
" He's handsome "
A female employee said and Liam heard her.
" But he has a woman "
Another employee replied and Liam halted on his tracks.
" What's wrong boss? " Kyle asked but Liam did not reply, rather he continued walking until he get to his office.
" Did you clear those pictures? " Liam asked Kyle once they get into the office.
" I tried my best with the news stations I know but it'll take some time to permanently get it off the internet "
Kyle replied.
" Make it faster before Yvette Henderson starts throwing tantrums " Liam Henderson said as he collapsed onto his office chair.
" Has the news reached Mrs Henderson " Kyle asked and Liam nodded.
" I got to know from her, " Liam replied.
" Boss... Why don't you take advantage of this situation and free yourself from Mrs Henderson's troubles? " Kyle asked with a smirk on his face.
Liam raised an eyebrow, he had always known Kyle for being wise but he was also dirty, bad, that was why Liam hired him.
" What? "
Liam asked after a moment.
" Accept the relationship in front of Mrs Henderson and tell her that the woman in the photographs is your fiancée "
