The Law of Attraction Chapter 47

Lana woke up early and as per her usual routine, she went jogging around their residence and then she headed directly to Clyde’s coffee shop for breakfast. 

“Let’s hang out later and go for a movie, or are you visiting your mom today?” Clyde asked as he served Lana’s coffee and sandwich.

“I can’t. Liam will be here to pick me up before lunch?” Lana answered.

Clyde’s eyebrows raised and teased with a mischievous grin, “Date?”

Lana almost spit her coffee on Clyde. “No!” she retorted with a furrowed forehead. Then she explained the entire situation to Clyde.

“I see… Meeting the in-laws.” Clyde teased again.

Lana rolled her eyes and scolded, “Stop that Clyde.” Ever since Clyde had seen Liam, he had not stopped teasing her about him.

“You can also feel it, right? I told you he’s not a gay, I don’t really understand why you are in denial? If I were you, I would ask Liam directly later. Ask him, when you meet him, face to face so you’ll hear it in his own words.” Clyde reminded her since she kept on insisting that Liam was not a straight guy.

“Yes, I will ask that the first thing he arrives okay?” Lana leered with rounded eyes at Clyde. 

Somewhere deep in her heart suspicions were surfacing seeing his attitude and the way he naturally kissed her a few times.

However, she somehow started feeling so comfortable in his presence that she didn’t want it to come true. She wanted him to be a gay so that her comfort level would not hamper in his presence because she might get awkward with him if he was really a straight guy.

And for Lana being in the same space with a straight guy would be a real nightmare, and she didn’t want to work together in one room with the identity of a girlfriend and boyfriend as this would be really awkward and unhealthy during her internship.

After finishing her breakfast with a little more chit chat with Clyde, Lana walked back to her house.

She selected a little conservative designer casual dress that was just above knee in length. 

She looked at her appearance when she was satisfied at how delicately beautiful she looked without any makeup but only a nude lipstick on her lips.

She never forgot to compliment herself, and just when she was admiring herself in the mirror she heard her doorbell ring. 

As anticipated, Liam was standing at the door just on time. 

“Let’s go?” Lana simply said and Liam nodded.

She walked behind him to the car and creased her forehead seeing Liam opened the front passenger seat door for her.

“Where’s Andrew?” Lana asked.

“Uhm, it’s his day off. I usually drive myself during the weekends.” Liam muttered, unconsciously massaging his nape.

As soon as Liam went inside the car, he noticed Lana looking around his car.

“What’s wrong?” Liam asked.

“Nothing, just looking for any traces of leftover food or any fallen food particles here. Last time you said there was an ant on my forehead so…” Lana naively stated, still looking around.

Liam gulped and said, “Andrew already cleaned the car so you will not see any ant anymore.”

There was a long moment of silence as they headed to Liam’s ancestral mansion.

“You can act like your usual self in front of my family Lana. Getting too close or touchy is not necessary in front of my family members,” Liam said, breaking the silence.

He was starting to get uncomfortable in her close radius, because he still could not overcome the tormential time he had the past night thinking about her, her lips and even her entire hot body that he had accidentally seen from his room. So he had decided that it would be best for his mental health to keep an amicable distance from her for now. 

He was most afraid of the hallucinations he was having about her. 

‘Torture! Pure torture! This woman had proven to be a pure torture to him.’

“Sure no problem.” Lana answered with a smirk that Liam was not able to notice on her face. 

‘You acted too close with my mom that evening and tried to impress her, you think that I will let you have an easy time with your family though. Huh! You wish Attny Sy.’ she mused with an evil grin.

‘You wanted me to pretend as your girlfriend, so now it’s my chance to act well and I will give my best performance today dear boyfriend. I will make sure to return the favour.’ 

She was giggling inside, imagining the confused, irritated and embarrassed face of Liam afterwards. 

Acting as his girlfriend was no less fun as it gave her so many funny moments to tease Liam later and make fun of him.

Soon the car turned inside their property and entered the enormous metal gate, where a scanner scanned Liam’s car to identify and also scanned his face inside the car.

The gate then opened automatically. Sy Ancestral mansion was a huge estate, bigger than the usual mansions as theirs. There was still a small road inside to reach the main mansion. Between the huge open space from the gate to the mansion, a big fruit garden accompanied with a flower garden was spaced out very aesthetically. The Sy’s occupied a vast property and the mansion itself was also huge.

“The mansion is divided into three households and is more like a treehouse under one mansion.” Liam explained. He had his own personal space that occupied the right wing, Jorge occupied the left wing while Miley and his father stayed at the center wing though his father always wanted them to stay connected and made a rule of eating together at his father’s and Miley’s place. 

“Hmm, so Jorge is like a family too.” Lana muttered, suddenly curious about Jorge’s history. Liam stopped the car on the porch and stepped out of the car and gave his key to a boy in uniform, then he was about to open her door but Lana quickly did so and went out on her own.

She was amazed to see such a beautifully constructed house with the beauty of flowers all around and before she could start admiring the fruit garden the main door of the mansion opened and she heard a few voices from there approaching her.

She was startled when she faced the mansion and saw a cheerful smart man walking towards her through the opened doors of the mansion, happily greeting her with open arms, “Welcome Lana.”
