Hate to hate you

# # # #Chapter 1: The Meeting

The day was a special one for Megan. She was going to get promoted as the Creative Director of Lylac Love. All her sleepless night and hardwork were getting paid that day.

She woke up as usual and got into her new champagne pantsuit. It made her look hell confident and gorgeous with that low v cut on the front and perfect fit of the pantsuit. To match it, she put on a layered chain, dainty pair of earrings and some makeup. After confirming her look for over five times in the mirror she finally headed out.

Liam Smith, the CEO of Smith Capital was the common heartthrob of every lady who ever noticed him once.

He was also going to attend the promotion party at Lylac Love being the CEO of the collaborating company. Though he didn't like attending business parties, he was still going to keep his aunt Miss Smith's request.

~7pm at Lylac Love

(Third person's pov)

Anchor: And now we are going to announce the most awaited promotion of the year which belongs to...... Miss Megan Gray as the new Creative director of Lylac Love.

Clappings increased....

Megan: I Would like to thank each one of you for your support and love. Mom and dad I hope I made you proud of your daughter.

(After party)

They came and started cheering for me. Three darlings of my life: Lucy, Ishtar and Rose. We've been together for the last 2 years.

Lucy: Meg you really bombed the stage. No doubt about your outfit choices.

Ishtar: you got their eyes hooked on you.

Rose: well there's someone who will be our boss now.

Saying this she chuckled looking at Meg(Megan).

You fools just know how to tease me. And you Rose...(she said pinching her hand)

R: ahh..that's the truth babe.

The four of them were enjoying their "we" time when suddenly the crowd around them started moving randomly.

Someone's heard saying loud "Mr. Liam is on his way. Get things ready asap."

To begin with, who won't know him in this field. Megan though least bothered about his entry, still held a nice expression on her face as she was now a Director.

Miss Smith called Meg to her side to introduce her to Liam.

When Liam entered, he looked no less than a prince. His handsome face, perfect jawline, tall heighted perfectly muscular figure could make any girl scream his name.

As Liam approached Miss Smith, something was happening to Meg. She was irritated standing for long but still didn't wanna get away without meeting him once.

Miss Smith I hope you are doing well. Liam said with a smile.

Uhh...son it would be better if you call me Aunt. Smith said as if teasing him.

Megan felt like a third wheel there but she had no other option than listening to her superior's chats.

Suddenly remembering about Megan's presence Smith cleared her throat and continued...

Liam allow me to introduce the newly appointed Creative Director Miss Megan Gray.

Liam forwarded his hand to congratulate Meg and she hurriedly accepted it. Seeing Liam up so close Meg had a flustered face. Feeling a light jerk she came back to her senses. Feeling utterly embarrassed, she quickly withdrew her hand and turned around to leave only to get glasses of drinks poured on her suit. The sudden glass breaking noise attracted everyone's attention. Everyone started looking at the source of the sound and found Megan standing dumbfounded.

Rose, Lucy and Ishtar came to her help immediately. They started wiping the drink off her suit. The waiter greatly horrified by his mistake repeatedly apologized for it. Everything was pretty messed up. Meg had teary eyes as she couldn't believe everything happening so quick. It was more than she could take. The best employee, the best night of her life and then suddenly everything falling upside down. She was feeling embarrassed. Tears started forming at her eye corners. She was strong but all this happening was too much to take in for her.

Suddenly she felt a tight grip on her waist, looking around to find the source she got pulled roughly to the restroom. She quickly tried to free her only to see the person holding her to be Liam.

"Does this really deserve your tears?" Liam asked with an annoying expression.

"And who are you to judge the situation I am in. Leave me." She shouted.

"You girls are really something. You don't deserve a man like me. I just thought of helping you out and here you are standing misbehaving with me. Miss your shirt is already wet and if u didn't get the time to notice it, take a look now." Liam said asserting a dominant voice in the last sentence.

Sobbing Meg looked down just to see the blunder. Her cleavage and nipples were pretty visible through the material. White shirt was a bad choice for the night. She was stunned. Tear drops formed now started their way down her eyes. No sound. She just kept looking down while thinking how to get out of the situation.

Liam opened his coat and wrapped it around Megan's body asking her to get changed.

Now the problem being she didn't have any more shirts with her. She was bold enough to tell this to Liam. Even she was surprised with her courage. In the past years she barely had any contact with guys and now she was with him in the same room alone. Though Liam was well reputed, he was not that pure and Meg's presence around him was different.

He offered his waist-coat to him. Of course he can't offer his shirt to her. Nope and no, he can't go out like this and neither her.

Being in fashion industry Meg was good with cloth pieces. She removed her shirt, wore the waist coat and put the overcoat on it tying it around her waist with the belt to give a shape to it.

As she came out she saw Liam on a call directing someone to keep the car ready at the back gate.

Feeling her presence he ended the call and turned around.

Not lying, he was honestly impressed with her fashion sense. No wonder she was chosen for the post.

"Sir be back to Earth." Meg said with a confused expression .

Hearing her he realised that he was staring longer than expected. Do you even think about that? He asked her making her startled.

"It would be better if you concentrate on getting out of here asap. It won't take them much time to notice your absence Miss Gray." He said with a bored expression.

"Sir you must think about yourself first. I am pretty confident and ready with my answers...you better think about your leaving the party." She said while giving a annoyed expression.

"I shouldn't have helped you and that was my mistake.." he was cut by Meg's words- " I didn't ever call anyone for the help"..

Liam grabbed her by her hand and pulled her closer touching both their chests. Her eyes grew big. Terror gripped her.

"Miss Gray don't push my limits". Liam said with a cold expression.

Pulling herself away from him, Meg shouted.. "Sir ....don't cross your limits."

"Better to leave than to be with you here." Liam asserted.

"Same for me Sir. Hope to never see you again"...Meg shouted

Liam left the room barging the door loud enough to make Meg freak out.

"He must be one of those typical CEOs trying to dominate me but I am not the one he can." She said with a smirk.

She finally left the place after being asked questions about her absence and her new outfit as expected. None could make out that it was actually men's suit and she was proud of her fashion sense.

She left her friend's questions unattended for the next day as she was tired after all the random things happening to her. After dropping drunk Ishtar to her house she left for her residence.

Getting changed into her cute comfy pjs she laid down and closed her eyes to rest. But the only thing that captured her mind was Liam.

"Is he really a jerk or a nice man?" Meg questioned herself.

The sight of him pulling her close to his hard chest and their bodies slamming to each other was repetitively coming to her mind. Suddenly her face flustered and she put her hands on her red cheeks to calm them down.

Maybe this was the first man encounter with me and so I am this uneasy. She thought to herself. Meg sleep or else the new CD will be late on her very first day. She went to sleep with a smile on her lips for the next day.

While on the other hand Liam was also going through a sleepless night. Meg had really done something to him. Her face with those pretty cat eyes, her perfect smiling lips was really pretty. Though Liam personally met better figures still Meg was different. He was never rumored with any girl till now since he knew his dignity and never wanted to stoop low to himself. This night he had a peaceful sleep rather than other nights which were disastrous.

Little did they know their walls already had cracks by each other's presence in their lives and an unseen thread binded them.

#####Chapter 2: Something or Nothing

An usual morning with Meg waking up and getting ready as usual. This was her first day as CD.

She left early so as to set an example and after last night's incident it was important.

She reached her office and looked at the files. Being a workaholic she was not a bit sad. She took a last watch at her besties who were comfortably having the assigned works done. Suddenly the phone rang asking her disturbed. The ID said Miss Smith. She carefully picked up the call with "Yes Miss Smith how can I help you?"..

"Megan I think you should be here asap"...she said from the other end.

"Okay Mam"...and she ended the call.

She went out to Miss Smith's office to meet her.

(In Smith's office)

"Megan I am sorry for the mishap yesterday my child. I didn't know that you would be in such uncomfortable situation." She said with a sad expression

Miss Smith had been a motherly figure for Megan and knowing she was an orphan, Smith took her as her own daughter.

"But Miss you didn't know about it. Also that was a big event. You couldn't be running around for me. And there's no need to be sad. I am fine enough my Missy"...Smith chuckled at Megan's words.

In office they had a strict relationship but at times they got some sweet spares to show their affection.

"Now I should really get back to work. Nonetheless I have to pull overnight today." Meg explained.

"No Sweety it's better to go back." Smith was really a lovely lady.

As Meg left her office...Smith suddenly remembered something. She had to inform Meg about Liam's meeting with her since she was the CD now. But she didn't want to disturb her again. So she left it to her.

(Liam's office)

"Boss you have a lot of things in schedule today. Starting with.." Liam's assistant Kevin said. Cutting him in between Liam said " Lemme get to my seat first... Kev it's not done"

Kevin waited for Liam to settle down and he started again.. "Today first you have to sign the passed files, then check the principal amounts of those files in blue and then you will meet Mr. Robert for the deal informing him about the green check and then CD of Lylac Love and then Miss Smith ..." he was cut off again by Liam

"what did u say? I am going for a meeting to Lylac Love and with whom? Woahhh.. that lady again?" Liam asked.

"Sir I thought you loved your aunt. But it's different here.."

"I still love my aunt dumb I was talking about the meeting with the CD". He said.

"Sir it's not that important. If you want someone else on your behalf can be sent there."

"UUm.no no no she's to be done with me." Liam said while being lost.

"Sir what? Miss Gray done with you? ..sir" Kevin asked with a smirk as he was unknown with this side of his boss.

"Ayy..you Kevin...I think you are too free to do nothing" ..this statement made Kevin run away from Liam's office since he knew his boss well.

(Lylac Love)

"Uhh..this is so much to do yeah" Meg stated being frustrated.

Rose, Ishtar and Lucy enter.

"Director can we come in please." Rosy said and laughed out.

Meg got triggered by this.

She got up and threw the cushion at Rose's face with was caught by Ishtar laughing.

"I feel like being tortured by work for the first time." Meg said while pouting.

"Babe now this will be normal for you. Leave that...won't you come for lunch..it's freaking break time..my girl"....Lucy stated.

"Nope you guys enjoy. I need to work on this asap." Meg said holding a file in her hand.

Three of them left her office coz there's no way she would leave her task undone.

(Later that day in Meg's office)

There was a knock on the door.

"Yes. who's there?" Meg asked.

"May I come in Miss Gray?"...a sweet male voice heard.

"Yes please."

"Miss Gray...Boss is waiting for your meeting."...The man said.

"And who's your boss?"- Megan asked curiously.

"Sir Liam is waiting for you ma'am" ...he cleared his voice and said.

"What?....I didn't get any information about it. No that can't happen. And why ? Meeting for what?" Meg was suddenly too nervous to ask...since the last night incident she was a bit perplexed about her emotions.

"Miss can u please check your schedule?" Kevin politely asked her.

She checked and then double checked...why the hell didn't she check it before? Only then she could be ready to face him.

She face-palmed herself in mind. If only she could be ready.

"Miss boss is waiting outside"...Kevin teased her.

"Yes I am coming. Please wait."...Megan said.

"W..hat? is this?" she said pouting and started her fake crying.

"Miss Gray you're cute."

Hearing the known utter she turned around only to see Liam in her office.

Meg's hands automatically went upto her face and she turned her back again. Even she didn't know why was she doing this. She was smart enough to handle various situations and here she was EMBARRASSED.

Gathering enough courage she turned around and took her seat.

"Sir Liam take your seat please." Meg asked him.

She felt her cheeks burnt ie flustered.

"Miss Gray I think you aren't well"...Liam claimed.

He moved forward touching Meg's cheeks with his cold fingers.

Meg felt chills running down her spine when she felt his touch. She forgot about everything...the time..place and everything.

"Are you ok?" Liam already knew what he was doing to Megan and he was enjoying the view infront of him.

Meg slapped Liam's hand and rubbed her cheeks right away. Yes she was all hot. Yes down there too. One touch made her hot what could the other things do?

"Sir I guess we should start the meeting." Meg stated.

"Call the members then"

Meg called her team. All got seated. A heated conversation of 2hrs went on and finally they came to a conclusion.

Lylac Love was going to host an event to celebrate their 25th year.

But one thing wasn't right. Eye locks between Meg and Liam were continued during the whole meeting as if they really wanted a glance of each other. Was there something? Or it's just nothing?

All the members left her office except Liam.

He had been searching up venues for the celebration since it was his aunt's company celebration and he wanted to help.

Meg didn't want to disturb him.

But she was really hungry. She didn't have anything since morning. Now that everything was almost done, she wanted to go and have something.

She walked up silently to leave the office. She suddenly felt a grip on her wrist. This time a gentle one. She turned back only to find herself getting pulled to Liam's lap. Her body got all heated up. She was well aware of this but why did he do this?

"Sir....what is this?" Meg shouted.

Liam answered nothing. Instead adjusted his position snuggling closer putting his chin in her neck dip.

####Chapter 3: Why does he do it?

"These are some of them." Liam stated.

"w..h..a..t?" Megan asked nervously. She could feel his hot breath on her neck and his hand circling around her waist. She wanted to push him away but her strength had as if died. She couldn't move any part of her body. All she did was staring at that face of him. She had no words. The moment got very heated up.

"The venue for the celebration." Liam turned towards Megan and their eyes got locked. Megan's hands automatically cupped Liam's face. As time passed their faces got nearer, eyes closed. Just then,

(Knock, knock)

Both got alarmed. Megan jumped up from his lap and Liam adjusted his clothes and of course his position. Megan ran back to her chair.

"Come in." Megan said.

"Miss Smith asked to serve these to you"...saying he passed the coffee to both of them and left the room.

Meg's face was all red much as a tomato. She no longer looked up. As for Liam, he somehow loved this.

"Miss Gray...I guess.."...

"You don't need to guess anything. Now please leave Sir."....Meg stated with making an eye contact.

Liam with no more comments got up and left.

Meg heaved a sigh of relief. She fanned herself with her hands. All she could think about was Liam and his hot breath and his chin in her neck dip. It was too much for the day.

After all the work was done...she finally locked the door and left the office. But there was something already planned for her.

Liam was waiting downstairs. As she descended the stairs, she looked upto Liam. Without further conversation she thought of leaving since she thought that her head was in a mess.

"Miss Gray would you please help me out?" Liam asked out.

"And what kind of trick are you going to play again?"...this time she backfired.

"My car failed and Aunt won't leave now...can you please drop me to my apartment?"

" Whom are you fooling Sir? You have more than a car on your call. Why trouble yourself sharing it with me?" Meg asked annoyed.

"Miss please"....just to avoid anymore convos Meg decided to dump the trash to the dustbin herself.

Of course she kept the words to herself. After all Liam is her boss.

It was a silent ride.

Money speaks a lot. It was quite natural for him to live in a posh area because he was a CEO. The apartment Meg was living in was quite decent but it was nothing compared to his one.

The car stopped. Both of them came out of the car. Meg was stunned to see the surrounding. It was really different than where she used to live. Not lying no one will not give a damn about it. She was in total awe. As she turned her head, she met Liam's eyes staring at her. Her heart fluttered. Liam neared his footsteps. Bending his head he got down to Meg's face. Shivers ran through Meg's spine to see him that close. She shut her eyes tightly clutching the end of her dress.

"You are naturally beautiful." Liam said without averting his gaze.

"S..i..r....t..hank.. you" she stuttered.

Coming closer their nose touched. Liam circled one arm around his waist and used the other one to cup her right cheek. Meg felt the heat. Her ears grew red. She blushed. She knew she couldn't control her body in front of Liam. It always responded to his touches. Her hands moved up to cup Liam's face. And their lips met. Liam gently started with sucking her lower lip. Meg responded immediately. And relatively it grew into a passionate one. From her face he moved to her earlobes.

"Do you like it Miss Gray?" he muttered.

Megan bit her lips to suppress the emotion.

Liam lightly pecked her once again and asked her the same question.

"Y..e..s" it came out more like a moan than a simple one.

He smirked. This lady was really the one he wanted. But not this way. He wanted her to be his forever. It won't be easy. He already knew she couldn't resist him and so were her responses at the moment. In her correct senses she wouldn't give I so easily. Though he wasn't afraid of trying. Breaking his chain of thoughts came her voice..

"L..i...a..m". He pressed his lips onto hers. He didn't want to let her get away. Breaking the kiss he carried her to his apartment. Gently throwing her on the sofa..he got up on Megan. Megan was nervous now. She didn't imagine this far. It can't happen now. She quickly got up and pushed Liam. Adjusting herself she sat up on the sofa.

Liam did the same. For a few minutes, none spoke.

"Can I get some water?" Meg asked.

"hmmm"

Sweatbeads started forming on her forehead. Throat dried.

"I think I should get going now." With this Meg got up and started to walk towards the door.

Liam caught her hand and pulled her making her back thrash with his hard chest. Meg realizing it wasn't a good sign tried to free her hand. Liam's grip tightened more. He buried his face on her neck dip again. She felt too nervous to address the situation. It was fortunate that Liam couldn't see her face. It was no less than a tomato. The worst one being her ears growing plum red.

Liam noticed it. His mouth travelled to her earlobe and he gently bit it, nibbling on it. It was a turn on for Meg.

"Meg don't leave me. Please." He whispered. Liam calling her Meg had a different imprint. She turned around and hugged him tightly. She mentally scolded herself for doing this but couldn't help. Her brain was now working like trash.

The hug was longer than they thought. She rubbed Liam's back softly to which Liam snuggled closer burying his face deeper. Megan's height was short compared to Liam who was almost a beast with his muscular body and tall height. Hear face reached upto Liam's chest. She could clearly hear his heartbeat. It was calm rather than hers with was no less than a bullet train. But slowly even hers became normal. Liam maybe had some magic. It wasn't even a complete day when both met and they were so close. Meg had been chased by numerous men in LL (Lylac Love) coz she was the perfect example of beauty with brains but she never gave in to any of them.

The hug broke as Liam bended over Meg and crashed his lips onto hers. The kiss was a deep one, passionate. She responded and kissed him back. Liam took Meg's legs and circled them on his waist. He carried her to his bedroom. Making her lie on the bed, he hovered over her capturing her like his prey. Megan held onto his neck and face with wither hands while Liam gripped her waist with both her hands. He started with a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you sweetheart." Liam whispered. The words sent a chill through her spine. He then kissed her lips, neck while his hand held onto her breast. He rubbed her breasts together. She moaned his name.

"L...i...aa...mm". She felt her knees weakened. Liam gently squeezed her lemons and removed the dress straps down her breast. Meg moved her body accordingly for proper access. Liam slid his hands behind her back to open her bra straps. Her moans were louder now. She was satisfied. Her mind thought knowing that was wrong couldn't give a clear stop to it. Her heart wanted more of Liam's touch. It had a different effect on her.

Liam moved on to her breasts now. He squeezed one of her breast with one hand and gently nibbled the other's nipple. Her nipples were peachy pink, bright and savory. Liam wanted to feed on them the moment he saw them. But he took steps gently coz he didn't want to scare her. He loved on to the other breast and sucked it. Meg held onto Liam's hair and pulled as she needed something to hold onto. He now fiercely pulled off her dress.

Meg quickly unbuttoned his shirt and turned him down. She took the lead. Pinching his nipples she kissed his jawline. That sharp jawline with a handsome face could draw anyone's attention. Liam pulled her through her waist and rubbed their bodies. Meg felt her body burning. Her desires were going up. Liam rolled his body onto her and made her lie under him. He slid his hand into her panty and rubbed hid fingers through her clit. Meg arched her back for better access.

"Baby you are so fucking wet there." Liam whispered to Meg.

"Li...a..m I can't control anymore." She whispered but it came out as moan.

Liam slid his finger into her pussy and rubbed it. Meg couldn't take it anymore.

"A..aa.....h Liam" she moaned his name loudly.

"Do you like it?" Liam asked.

Meg remained silent. Her brain wasn't processing much.

Liam asked it again and slid another finger this time. "y..e..sss.." she answered. Meg's lips were parted.

Liam went up again and kissed her while his fingers did wonders to Meg's clit. A deep kiss.

Suddenly the phone rang.

Both of them abruptly stopped. Liam cursed the caller.

"Hey Fucker what you doing?" came the voice.
