The Wedding Date ➸ Ziam

Business Opportunity & The What Train?

I feel a pair of muscular arms wrap around my thin waist making me jump.

I turn, "God dammit, Liam! Don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack" I rest my hand over my heart.

"Sorry, babe" Liam laughs and let's me go.

I shoot daggers at him, "Why must you bother me? I'm working."

Liam leans against the shelf, "I don't have any meetings today surprisingly so I thought I would come and visit you, see how you were doing."

I stop stocking the shelves to look at him, "Aww you came all the way down here just to see me?" I smile.

He smiles in return, "Yes."

My smile quickly fades and I make a gagging sound while pointing a finger in my mouth.

Liam rolls his eyes, "Can we have one romantic moment please?"

I put a finger on my chin, "Let me think. No."

He scoffs, "You sure do know how ruin a moment, Zaynie."

I clench my teeth, "Don't call me that."

"Zaynie. Zaynie. Zaynie. Zaynie. Zaynie" He teases.

"Fuck off, Liam!" I turn to him with angry eyes.

Liam gasps, "Now that's no way to talk to a customer."

"You're not a customer. You're an intruder."

He shrugs, "You say tomato I say tomato."

I roll my eyes. "Just go away before I call store security."

I feel Liam's presence crowding my back as I continue to stock shelves. I quickly turn to him seeing him backing me into the shelves, some objects digging into my back. My breathing gets faster.

"Liam, what the hell?! Back off!" I hiss trying to stay strong.

"Now you wouldn't wanna call security on me" He smirked.

"And why not?" I cross my arms over my chest.

"Because I own this store."

I blink, "What?"

"You heard me. I said I own this store. I just bought it from the old owner two days ago. Its mine now. Expensive as hell but worth it" He says casually.

Anger courses through my body, "What the fucking hell-"

"Ahem" A throat clears.

Liam and I turn to see Harry standing there with raised brows.

I clear my throat and compose myself, "Yes?"

"Um, have you seen Louis?" Harry bit his lip.

I internally groan. Why can't this guy get outta Louis' ass?!

"No, Harry. He's probably late like usual."

"Oh okay, is everything alright?" Harry diverts his eyes to Liam.

"Peachy" I fake smile. Go away Harold.

Harry still stands there unsure until he shakes his head and walks off.

I look at Liam, "What the fucking hell do you mean you bought the store?!"

"I mean what I said. This Walmart is mine now."

I groan and stomp my foot, "Why did you buy this Walmart?! You don't need it!"

He shrugs, "Its a great business opportunity. Walmart is one of the top grossing stores around the world. I can make some extra money plus I just wanted to see your reaction."
