The Law of Attraction-Chapter 29: Capable Of Blushing

Lana smiled as she checked the cabinet that Mian had prepared for her. Liam called her in the morning and informed her he would be late in picking her up so she told him not to bother and she would call for a cab.

"Is the size enough or do you want me to get a bigger one since the room is spacious enough to accommodate a bigger one." Mian commented as she entered Lana's room.

"Also, here's the remote for the blinds you requested." Mian added.

"Oh, thank you so much Mian, I can finally have my privacy. It's too uncomfortable whenever I think Liam is watching what I'm doing." Lana complained in pouty lips.

Mian laughed and said, "Haha… There, you can now close the blinds whenever you want, though sir Liam often closes the blinds too."

"Not on my glass walls. I feel like he's always checking on me if I'm lazing or not. You know, as if he is waiting for an opportunity to scold me." Lana grunted. Mian helped her with arranging her clothes and shoes, then sooner left.

Lana smiled on herself as she closed her blinds. Finally, she could have her own privacy.

"Ah this is nice," she mumbled as she did some stretching and sat down on her chair. Her mobile phone beeped, and she smiled seeing Lyn's confirmation about the cancellation of contract signing with Miss Tang.

A few more minutes later, her mobile phone rang.

It was the marketing manager.

"Yes, there's no misunderstanding at all. I want Brione to be signed for that. Yes, handle that compensation if she is entitled for that. Who? Her manager? I'll think about it and inform you when I will be available." Lana answered.

The manager insisted on meeting Miss Tang's manager, who was constantly requesting an appointment to solve the misunderstanding ever since they received the contract cancellation request.

"An appointment? Why not, yes I will meet them but they have to wait until when I will be available. Meanwhile, start with all the talks with her manager and make arrangements for meeting and signing Brione." she plainly replied then ended the call.

"Why can't they just accept that she's not being picked in the final. Geez, she surely wants more face slaps before she gets it right." Lana mumbled and then chuckled as she imagined how horrible it would be for Miss Tang to see her as the COO in that appointment.

After a while she went out of her room to buy some coffee when she saw Liam entering the office. 'Such heavy dark circles under his eyes? Did he work all night, even at his home?' she mused as she greeted him, "Good Morning."

Liam did not bother to look at her and just nodded. Lana gave him a once-over and asked, "You want some coffee? I am going to buy some downstairs…"

"Me too, a coffee please, dear…" Jorge, who went inside interrupted.

"And I think Liam needs the darkest black coffee you can buy to stay awake, so Lana get something heavy for him. Mine will be cappuccino…" Jorge added but before he could sit on the couch Liam hissed, "You go and buy coffee, Jorge. I need to discuss something with Lana."

Liam looked at Lana and said, "Tell him what's your order." Lana nodded and told Jorge to buy her macchiato.

Jorge was totally flabbergasted how Liam outrightly sent him out and let Lana stay. He scratched his head and went out before Liam could throw more tantrums towards him. It was not his fault that his dream ended so brutally.

'And since when did Liam start dreaming so wildly? As the sister, so is the brother…' Jorge mused.

He laughed as he walked past the hallway, recalling how Liam was m.o.a.ning and saying the words 'kiss me.' If only Liam did not have the trump card for threatening him, he would surely have killed Liam with his nonstop teasing.

Liam and Lana continued with their discussion in his receiving area. A pile of doc.u.ments were all over the table while they sat on the couch. Unfortunately, they would not go out to finish every pending doc.u.ment. She helped Liam in analysing a lot of things in a particular case where the two of them exchanged various opinions.

Lana noticed that Liam seemed to be too much engrossed in a particular case, the murder case of a business tycoon Gilbert Ming and the suspect was his newlywed wife Gale Ming. Liam was defending Mrs. Gale Ming. It was a pro bono case.

'Does he have any special connection with that Gale?' Lana mused, giving Liam a curious gaze. The case in her own opinion was too complicated. All evidence clearly pointed to Gale as a suspect, but Liam insisted that she was framed by someone.

"Are we going to meet her today?" Lana asked.

"No, probably next week. I need to check something first…" Liam simply answered. Lana was about to ask another question, but Liam's mobile phone rang.

"Oh, of course, Mr. Ching. Yes, I will be there… Yes. Thank you as well. Bye." Lana heard Liam answer in the brief call.

"Did you happen to bring some formal dresses also or did you just bring semi-formal outfits?" Liam suddenly asked.

"Hmm, I think I do, well I brought both just in case. Why?" Lana asked back.

Yes, she did bring a variety of outfits she could use since Liam said they would need some disguise on several occasions. She was even excited about that scene, reminiscing how she too disguised to help Keira save her husband before.

"We will attend a party, a congratulatory party for Mr. Ching since we won the case he was really hopeless about earlier, he will profit a lot with this property that he was fighting a case for. I will bring you with me as my date and girlfriend. That man had been pairing me over with many women." Liam cautioned.

"Oh okay, I'll just shield you there in the party then…" Lana mumbled with a twitched face.

Liam chuckled that surprised Lana. If she rightly remembered, it was the first time she saw Liam even smiling properly.

"Oh, you have a nice pair of white teeth. You should smile more often." She nonchalantly expressed her views. Liam was fl.u.s.tered and unconsciously blushed with her praising him.

"Oh… You're capable of blushing too?!" Lana teased. Hearing this, Liam quickly frowned and stared at her.

"Focus on that doc.u.ment. We have to wrap everything before 5:00 PM." Liam remarked with his usual serious face and voice.

"Noted!" Lana enthusiastically answered and went back on reading the files. Liam kept sneaking glances at Lana every once in a while. He was in total denial about what happened that morning. He could not accept the weirdest perverted dream he had in his entire life that morning.

Until now, he could not get over the fact that he almost kissed Jorge this morning, thinking that it was Lana. 'Think straight Liam! Why are you sneaking peeks at her now? Stay focussed you fool!' his inner self scolded him and he exhaled a long deep sigh out of his chest.
