Chapter 6 Not A Right Decision

She thought she had asked something wrong to him. He looked at her. "I can't tell you about this right now. All I can tell you is that I really love you and I want you in my life."

He knew that he wanted to save her. He can't lose her like he lost all the other girls whom he loved in the past. "It's alright. I understand if you don't want to tell me." She smiled.

She went back to her room after enjoying her coffee and started setting her clothes in the wardrobe, opening her bags.

The servants who were working in the penthouse were surprised to see Mahika in the penthouse because it was for the first time Liam had brought any girl to his home.

Scott, the head chef working in his home went to Liam, who was working on his laptop sitting on the sofa to ask him what to cook for dinner as he didn't know Mahika's choice of food.

Liam placed the laptop on the table, turning to the head chef. "Go and ask Mahika. She will decide all this from now." The servants were shocked to hear his words. It was all new for them.

Mahika went downstairs when she was done with her clothes. Liam was nowhere to be seen. She went inside the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. Scott was organizing the groceries and vegetables with the help of servants. He approached her. "Madam."

Mahika was surprised to hear this word for her. She turned to face Scott. "Please call me Mahika."

Scott smiled a little. "Mahika, Sir told me to ask you about what to cook for dinner. What would you like to have?"

Mahika furrowed her eyebrows, thinking why Liam wants her to decide on this? She shook her head. "Just cook whatever you want except for the steak and the beef. I don't eat that."

Mahika started going out of the kitchen when she heard one of the servants. "I can't believe Master can change this much that he brought any girl to stay with him in this home for the first time whereas his ex-girlfriends never got this chance, and he is even letting her choose the menu for the meals he will eat."

Mahika widened her eyes in surprise, hearing this. "Liam's ex-girlfriends? Is he a Playboy who never brings any of his girlfriends to his home, but then why did he ask me to live with him?" She went out of the kitchen, waving off all the thoughts running in her mind.

Mahika started looking around the house. Everything corner was beautifully decorated. Her eyes landed on lots of photographs on the wall. She started looking at them and guessed it was Liam's family pictures with him. Someone tapped on her shoulder. She found Liam standing behind her, who was there to call her for dinner.

They came near the dining table and Scott served the dinner. They started eating. Mahika glanced at Liam that didn't went unnoticed by him. He put his spoon down and looked at her. "Do you want to ask me something?"

"Yeah, I was thinking if you would drop me at the restaurant tomorrow for my work. It's far from here." She took a bite of her food.

He took a deep breath to calm himself, before saying anything to her. "You will not work there anymore."

She furrowed her eyebrows. "Why?"

He smirked. "If you wish to work, you will work in my company with me or you will stay at home."

She placed her hand on the table in anger. "I will work with Anna at the restaurant. You can't stop me."

"Liam Jackson's girlfriend will not look good waiting tables." He raised his voice. "You know what, you don't need to work. Just stay with me, and enjoy your luxurious life with me."

"Who said I am your girlfriend?" She bit her lower lip.

He took her right hand in his. "I am saying this. You're mine." He started eating his food, still holding her hand. He noticed that she wasn't eating, so he asked her. "Why are you not eating?"

She didn't say anything and pointed towards her right hand, which was in his hold. He smiled, leaving her hand. They finished the rest of their meal in silence.

Mahika was thinking if she had made a wrong decision of staying with him because Liam was controlling her life in some aspect.

She called Anna as soon as she entered her room. "What's up, girl?"

"Anna, I think it's not a right decision to move-in with him." She bit the inside of her cheeks.

Anna got a little worried. "What happened? Did he say something to you?"

"He is stopping me from working at the restaurant. He told me that if I want to work, I should join his company with him or to stay at home enjoying the luxurious life." She told everything to Anna, who sighed. "Mahika, he is Liam Jackson and for him, you're his girlfriend. A man with his status would never want his girlfriend to work at some restaurant, serving others. Also, didn't you dream of this luxurious life?"

She closed her eyes. "Yeah, but my work was there and I can't stay like this locked in this huge penthouse all day."

"Then, you're left with only one option. Start working with him." Anna said, and they cut the call after talking about a few things.

Mahika laid down on the bed, changing into a comfy t-shirt and pajamas. She thought that Anna was right. She will stay at the mansion and will focus on what she likes to do the most. She fell asleep while thinking about Liam.

The next morning,

She woke up with the sound of someone knocking on the door. She lazily removed the duvet from her body and went to open the door. A servant was standing there. "Madam, Sir asked me to call you for breakfast."

"I am coming." She went inside the bathroom, closing the door. She brushed her teeth, and went downstairs in the same pajamas and t-shirt.

She greeted Liam, and sat beside him. She glanced at him while taking a sip of the orange juice. "Liam, I agree to stay at home, but only on one condition."
