The Law of Attraction Chapter 467

“I couldn’t contact Sarah,” Jorge informed Liam during his meeting with him in his office.

“Her secretary said she’s on a sick leave. I think it’s better I talk to her in person. How about I talk to her next week? Let’s wait for the charity event to finish first since she has a big part in it as our firm’s representative,” Jorge reasoned out with Liam.

“I don’t care what you do Jorge but I will prefer for you to take care of this matter at the earliest. I don’t want any other incident of her with Lana and you know how rude I can be if I  handle this matter on my own,” Liam casually answered.

Jorge twitched his mouth and blabbered, “Yeah right. You don’t want Lana to know that you’re protecting her and doing anything in her favor on her face. Yeah, I totally get you.”

Liam only shrugged his shoulders. It was too bad to lose someone like Sarah, for the company, but he would prefer to lose a million assets of his company so that no one would ever disrespect nor displease Lana.

“Is Daryl still not around?!” Liam asked with snapped eyebrows. 

“He filed for a three day leave, Liam…” Jorge reminded him and he nodded.

“Will you bring Lana with you or does she have a separate invitation for the charity event?” Jorge suddenly asked.

“Her company has a separate invitation but I will arrive with her,” Liam answered.

Soon the door opened and Lana entered with their lunch.

“I cooked a lot Jorge so please join us for lunch,” Lana commented with a bright smile on her face.

“Wow, such a beautiful lady… Why do you always seem to glow whenever I see you?” Jorge teased. Lana chuckled and bluntly replied, “Of course that is because this woman is head over heels in love with your brother…”

Jorge felt like his tongue was tied. He was caught off-guard. He blinked several times while staring at Lana in disbelief.

Lana laughed seeing his expression and said, “What? You look like you just saw a ghost.”

“Is there a possibility that I’m talking to Luo instead? Luo who has the face of Lana?” Jorge murmured in a daze.

Lana burst in a fit of laughter and mumbled, “Oh, Jorge you’re so funny. I will leave you two and go straight to the pantry to prepare the table. Wrap up the business talk and continue later after you’ve had lunch, so follow me in two minutes.”

“Is that really Lana?” Jorge whispered to Liam, following Lana’s back with a suspicious stare.

Liam chuckled and said, “You’d better go and eat lunch with Miley, outside somewhere. Don’t you dare disturb us even if Lana asks you to join us… Or sure you can but you will witness a rather public display of affection from Lana…”

“Wow… Lana version 2.0?” Jorge scoffed, shaking his head.

He patted Liam’s shoulders and murmured, “She’s leveling up. I wonder whose more shameless now… Her or Miley?”

“Go and leave now… Shoohh…” Liam bantered as he walked towards the pantry.

“He’s obviously enjoying his time, huh,” Jorge mumbled with raised eyebrows as he walked out of the door.

Meanwhile, inside the pantry, Lana’s forehead creased as she asked Liam, “Where’s Jorge?”

“He left already. He will have lunch with Miley,” he simply answered as he sat on his chair.

“Sorry I just bought our lunch since I had a hectic schedule at the office today, so I did not have time to cook,” Lana explained as she also sat on her chair.

“But I bought this from one of your favorite restaurants with a nice fish fillet and beef broccoli. Here, have some nido soup first,” Lana commented and put the bowl of soup to Liam.

“Why is it hectic today in your office?” Liam casually asked. Lana had that pleased smile and started telling Liam about her ups and downs in the company as soon as she came back.

“By the way, I talked to Kyle. I also want you to know that I will terminate his contract if you’re too uncomfortable with him. Kyle is a nice guy and he’s a really big help to me at this point since he’s like a really good counselor but if me trusting Kyle too much will cause any misunderstanding between us then I’m willing to cut our ties as coworkers.” 

Lana sincerely remarked though, at the back of her head, she wanted to add, ‘But I do hope that you will not request me to cut ties with him as a friend at least…’

She bit her lip, hearing no response from Liam.

Liam drank some water and then looked intently with Lana and asked, “If I ask you to totally cut ties with Kyle how will you feel?”

Lana heaved a long sigh and truthfully answered, “I will feel sad but I will do as you ask because you’re far more important to me than anyone else Liam.”

“Do you want me to cut ties with him?” Lana whispered.

“I don’t know Lana. Right now… I still feel bad thinking he’s the only person you allowed to console you all those times you were gone. But I’m not that immature to ask you for something like cutting ties with him after knowing that he did so much for you. I guess try putting yourself in my shoes then probably that will help you decide on what’s the best thing to do,” Liam subtly answered.

Lana gave Liam a reassuring smile. In the back of her mind, she knew what she had to do. She would not give Liam any room to misunderstand her and she would make sure not to make him feel envious and jealous towards Kyle.

When they were about to finish eating, Lana smiled at Liam and mischievously uttered, “After lunch, I can give you a massage if you want since I wasn’t able to do it the last time.”

Liam did not reply but his silence meant that he agreed. Lana tried her best not to chuckle as she noticed the blush on his face plus the reddening of his ear. Liam had a different meaning of her words in his mind and he was absolutely right since she planned to do more than just giving him a good massage.
