Love Never Felt So Good

Chapter 7: Escaping Liam

Chapter 7:

Over the next couple of weeks, Carter & Steffy grew closer. They continued to spend time together, & their feelings for each other continued to grow.

However, for Steffy, something was preventing her from telling Carter that she loved him.

That "something" was her ex-husband Liam Spencer.

Even though Steffy was over him, seeing him come & go as he pleased at Forrester Creations was difficult for her. She did still love him, but she knew that they could never be together again. She couldn't risk having him hurt her again. It would too much for her to take.

So one morning, Steffy was making her way to Carter's office when she noticed Liam coming out of Brooke's office.

Seeing him made her very nervous. She had to think of something fast in order for him not to see her.

Then it came to her.

Steffy decided to take a shortcut.

As she went from one lenghty hallway to another, she hoped that Liam, who had been talking to Brooke about his upcoming wedding to Hope, hadn't seen her.

She wouldn't know for sure until later.

At the moment, all Steffy could hope for was that she could make it to Carter's office so that they could go out to iHop for breakfast.

Turns out Carter was waiting for her when she got there, & she didn't like what she saw when she got there.

Carter was in a foul mood.

"What's wrong?" asked Steffy as she closed the door.

"Guess, Steff," said Carter. "Rick?" asked Steffy. "Yeah," sighed Carter.

"What's it about this time? Does my father have something to do with it?" asked Steffy. "Maybe," said Carter. "Why do you say that?" asked Steffy.

Carter looked at her with a very serious look on his face.

"Don't get me wrong, Steff. I'm just as angry as you are over what happened between your father and Caroline," he said. "If he hadn't taken advantage of her like he did, she & Rick would still be married. However, Rick thinks that I should just give up corporate law & be Ridge's personal lawyer."

He then frowned as he remembered the day that he called Ridge an asshole & threatened to quit Forrester Creations if he became CEO.

Steffy felt terrible for Carter so she went up to him & hugged him. They held each other close.

However, they were unaware that they were being watched.

They were being watched by none other then Liam.
