The Law of Attraction
chapter-267

Luo looked at her wall clock every once in a while as she typed her report on her computer. She could not hide her excitement that was exuding from every pore of her body. Tonight she could again sleep at Noah's place, something she anticipated every night now.

Last time when she was able to go there was really boring because Noah was already asleep when she arrived. She was late that night because she had an emergency that came up related to her case that day. She reached very late at his house that night and directly joined him on his bed without even changing her clothes. She also left early while he was still sleeping, and he had probably not even noticed her presence at all.

The fact that she had an authority to go in and out of his house was making her feel happy. She knew she was playing with fire, treating him so casually, provoking him with what she was doing, but for some reason she was not scared to get burned. Instead, she was trying to get some peace of heart.

She quickly typed the remaining paragraphs in her head to finish early. She wanted to join him, at least for dinner. If possible, she wished to arrive earlier and use his nice and shining kitchen to cook dinner for him. She felt like that kitchen needed some staining because of how clean and shiny it was!

She worked fast and ended early and immediately got ready to leave. She stood up and grabbed her bag, ready to head out when Daryl knocked on her door.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Leaving already?" Daryl asked with a furrowed forehead.

Luo smiled sweetly and simply replied, "Yeah."

Daryl pouted his lips and mumbled, "How about we hang out tonight? Lets go and have an early dinner in your favorite restaurant and then we will go for some drinks? My treat…"

"Tempting... But I have to say no today... since I need to go home early these days. Maybe some other day..." Luo uttered with a chuckle as she headed towards the door, leaving Daryl in a bad mood with dropped shoulders.

She was even humming as she drove towards Noah's house. She expected him to be in the office since it was still early.

The huge gate of his mansion automatically opened as the scanner recognized her car.

An ear to ear smile crept up on her beautiful face as she walked inside Noah's big house. He was indeed living alone in the house while his helpers lived in a separate house in the backyard. She talked to his gardener last time she left early since the old man was already tending to his garden at that time.

She actually loved Noah's house because it felt so homy. It looked like he built it for a future happy and simple family. She loved the simplicity of the entire mansion and the beautifully crafted landscape in the front. It was big enough for kids to play around safely.

She felt a sudden weird emotional pain in her heart when she thought Noah would live with some other woman in this house when he got married and would have children with her as well. As if someone had gripped her heart.

She trembled with the sudden onslaught of these thoughts and for the first time in her life she felt that she had wrongly stepped into an unrequited feeling, but also realised that she was not able to stop herself from falling in this trap

She shook her head and tried to shake off the thoughts from her mind and directly headed to Noah's room to quickly have a shower and change into fresh clothes. She intentionally did not bring any clothes with her because she liked to wear Noah's clothes, it made her feel close to him, and also because she was actually anticipating to see if he had bought her some clothes and underwear as she requested him to.

She quickly checked Noah's closets. She wondered if Noah had a hidden security camera inside his room though, but she had no time to inspect.

Her eyes widened as she opened a closet full of women's sleepwears and underwears. But she quickly dismissed the idea of changing into one of them. Instead, she opened the closet from where Noah grabbed his shorts and shirt, the first time she came there to give her one. Later she would ask Noah because she wanted to tease him about those clothes and underwear.

After a quick shower, she headed to his kitchen. Before she started cooking, she sent him a text message.

Noah looked at his mobile phone to check the message.

[Come back home early. I'm cooking dinner for you. I will serve you well while I'm here to make up for the beach resort you bought. *wink emoji*]

"And do you think that would be enough?!" Noah unconsciously voiced out as if Luo would hear him. Good thing he was alone in his office at that time. He looked at his wristwatch and frowned. He was supposed to eat dinner with Craig and Gale to check how everything was going with the case because he was too busy to watch it.

He called Dina and instructed, "Can you tell Mike to send me the report of the current status for Gale's case. Tell him to send it directly on my email."

He stood up and got ready to leave immediately.

"This is insane…" he murmured as he contemplated opening his door. Since when did he start cancelling a prior appointment like that?

"Who told her to cook?" he muttered with a crumpled face.

Then another curse came out of his mouth as he went out and called for his car.

Back at Noah's house, Luo moved swiftly in the kitchen like everything inside was hers and as if she already knew what was kept where. She even sang and danced as she cooked. Her happiness was so evident on her face.

"Hmm, perfect!" She gasped as she smelled the dishes she cooked and tasted them.

"But am I too obvious in stalking him? Maybe I should have cooked something else," she suddenly mumbled while looking at the beef broccoli that she made. She read in an article that it was Noah's favorite among major dishes, so she cooked that instead.

"Ah, never mind…" she hissed as she continued to prepare some side dishes. She also made some fruit salad since it was his favorite dessert.

She was almost done preparing the table when she heard a pair of heavy steps approaching her.

She had a sweet smile on her face when she turned around and saw Noah walking to her with a frowning face. He was looking very serious, almost like a stern boss, but Luo ignored it and said, "Go change first or if you're already starving, then we can eat first as well."

Noah didn't reply and walked towards her in his long strides until there was only an inch distance remaining between them.

Luo's eyes blinked as she held her breath because of that closeness. Finding him just a few inches apart from her, startled her, and all she could see was his s.e.xy lips and the flawless skin of his face. How she wished she could kiss him that instant and claim his lips and him.

"Tell me… What is it you're trying to do? What trick do you have to pull up next, huh?" Noah whispered in his hoarse voice with eyes piercing hers before his gaze went down her parted lips.

Luo's lips flinched as she gathered herself and shamelessly muttered, "Can you give me some space to breathe please? Unless you have plans to eat my lips for dinner instead of the food I cooked?"
