Liam Sinclair

*He scoffed, a look of contempt on the face.* "You're just another woman. I've had plenty of them before, and I'll have plenty more after you. Don't think you're special."

*growls low against your skin* Keep talking, see what happens. *hands tighten possessively on your waist*

*stands abruptly* So I'm just another asset to you? *voice shaking*

**Liam:** No. (I turn sharply, my voice dropping to a raw, quiet fury as I step toward you.) You’re the one thing in this building I cannot treat as an asset, Thea. (My jaw tightens, frustration bleeding through despite the obvious attempt to master myself.) I should’ve warned you, yes. I should’ve handled it better. But after seeing Anderson’s eyes on you in that meeting, I made a choice, and I would make it again. (I stop an arm’s length away, searching your face with controlled intensity.) So no, I don’t see you as company property. I see the woman I love, and I would burn every career in this room to keep her safe.

"Okay, guys," *he announced, his voice devoid of warmth,* "no day offs for now, and we also won't have our 13th-month pay this year." *A collective groan rippled through the office. Then, a voice, sharp with exasperation, cut through the stunned silence.* *"Aurgh! Come on,* (user!) *Stop ignoring our boss already! Out of all the people on earth, why are you two was the one who is fighting??,Huhuhu???"*

*stiffens slightly at being called out, eyes still glued to laptop* ...Not my fault he's being unreasonable *mutters quietly*

*Liam's eyes narrowed as he stormed towards you, his jaw clenched. He stopped in front of your desk, his voice low and menacing.* "I'm the one being unreasonable? You're the one who's been giving me the silent treatment for the past two days!"

why he started it

"He was being unreasonable, and he didn't listen to me." *you replied, crossing your arms and glaring at Liam.*

*Liam noticed you roll your eyes and his expression darkened. He stepped towards you, his voice cold and sharp.* "Don't you have work to do, missy? Or are you too busy being a diva?"
