The Law of Attraction

Chapter 16: A Nobody Like Lana Huang

Liam was surprised to see the number flashing on his mobile, he knitted his brows and exclaimed. "When did she take my number? Who gave her my personal number?" he mumbled looking at his mobile screen as he walked out of the meeting room.

Jorge followed behind Liam. He sneakily took a peak and saw Lana's name on the screen. "She has it because I gave it to her, I gave her my number also. But the more important question is, when did you save her number and from where did you get it?" he whispered.

"It's written in her bio-data Jorge," Liam replied as he answered the call, walking past Jorge.

Jorge stopped following him… He was about to question Liam on why he saved Lana's number, but he controlled his teasing soul knowing Liam's temper.

"Is he going home already?" Jorge breathed, seeing Liam went directly to the elevator.

On the other hand, Liam was shocked when he heard the word 'love' in Lana's voice. Little did he know, his heart was not as composed as it had always been and just that one word from her mouth was able to stir him up.

Nevertheless, he composed himself and coughed lightly. It took him an eon to realise there was something off for her to call him that way.

"Where are you?" Liam asked Lana?after she told him Miss Tang was pestering her.

"I'm in basement 1 parking right now…" He heard Lana answer.

Liam's face frowned as he pressed the button in the elevator to the basement 1 parking. Lana's sweet voice calling him 'love' almost left him frozen, but hearing her mention Miss Tang's name, he no longer wondered what was going on.

However, his already muddled heart was not prepared for what was to come next. As soon as he was out of the elevator he immediately saw Lana who gave him a sweet smile. She hopped towards him, lovingly put her arms on his shoulders and gave him a gentle, quick peck on his lips.

Liam was surrounded with that enticing scent he had been finding a chance to sniff ever since she entered his office and he could not help but drown in that chance of taking a whiff again.

His mind and heart were at war and on one side, his heart was absorbed in enjoying that scent.

'What's with her often taking advantage of me like this?' Liam's mind kept complaining at the back of his head.

But before Lana could pull away from him, Liam's hands unconsciously moved on their own accord. He wrapped his one arm on her waist, used his second hand and pulled her nape to give her a 'PROPER' kiss.

'If she can take advantage of me, I should finish what she started.'

Lana was too shocked and looked at his handsome face with rounded eyes. Before she could retreat, she felt him invading her lips and kissing her back.

She intentionally bit his lower lip and immediately said while she gently touched his lip with her fingers, "Sorry love, but it's awkward when someone is watching us. Let's go…"

Lana hooked her arms on Liam's instead and walked past Miss Tang who seemed to freeze from where she stood. Her face was burning red with anger and embarrassment…

Lana paused and turned to look at Miss Huang and said, "You must be curious right now to know how I made Liam Sy fall for me? Well, for that you need to be me… a nobody like Lana Huang… And by the way, I will never allow my man to handle any case of yours personally, so don't waste your efforts in asking for it!"

Liam on the other hand was still as speechless as Miss Tang while Lana pulled him out and he followed like a mere puppet, towards the exit door.

"Do you think she's still standing there watching from our back? How about you go with me in my car and I'll drop you somewhere to meet with your driver? Maybe that would be better..." Lana instructed in a whisper and was about to dial Jorge.

"My driver is here so no need to call Jorge…" Liam plainly answered as his car stopped in front of them.

Liam opened the door of the back seat and whispered, "Get in… We have to go all the way since she's probably there looking at us."

Lana did as told and went inside Liam's car.

"Tell your address to my driver and I'll have my driver drop you off to your place." Liam spoke as soon as he was inside his car. He grabbed his mobile phone and sent a message to Jorge.

"That's not needed… I need my car to come to the office tomorrow. You just drop me nearby and I'll go back to the building to fetch my car." Lana suggested.

Liam sighed. He was irritated seeing Lana acting so calm as if nothing happened between them.

'Is she willing to kiss any guy to escape a situation like those?' He mused, annoyed.

While Lana was ranting about dropping her close to the office, his mobile phone beeped and she heard him relay her address to his driver.

"That's my address but...how…" Lana muttered.

"I foresee you will resist like this so I asked Jorge to send me your address. I will have my driver pick you up tomorrow morning, so don't worry about your car." Liam said.

"Geez… If not for that woman pestering me!!!" Lana exclaimed and gave Liam a sharp look.

Liam's facial muscles flinched and with an arched brow he pointed, "What? You could have just pulled me in a light hug or held my hands, so why did you kiss me?"

Lana rolled her eyes and replied, "Those types of wenches won't stop until they see something really convincing. I bet she would not stop even if I French kissed you in front of her. Just seeing her eyes when I turned back, I am somehow sure that she means more trouble in the coming future."

Liam did not comment because he was not familiar with women's manoeuvres at all. As long as Lana would keep him away from trouble then everything would be fine. But where did this feeling come to him from that Lana would be more of a trouble for him than anyone else could ever be?
