The Law of Attraction
chapter-355

Lana shook her head when everyone was smiling at her and greeting her when she arrived with Liam at Sy building. Her husband, she guessed, had probably announced her relationship with him already, seeing how everyone seemed to know everything about already.

Lana greeted them all back warmly. Liam clasped her hand tightly as they walked towards his private elevator. Nowadays she liked it so much whenever he was near him, it made her so happy but she also got irritated easily if Liam was not around and she wanted some cuddles.

Maybe Liam was right, their baby or her pregnancy rather was making her more clingy and moody and it was very out of her character. But she was getting used to it and she was also kind of loving it, all the attention and all the care.

"Did you miss my office?" Liam whispered in her ear.

Lana nodded and said, "I have a lot of memorable experiences in your office and the most unforgettable one was your one-way glass wall."

Liam chuckled and raised her hand to his mouth to plant a kiss there.

"And we will do more unforgettable things together, starting today…" he teased, making Lana feel fl.u.s.tered.

"So beautiful…" he whispered after flicking the tip of her nose, seeing her blush.

Jorge, who was witnessing and hearing everything from behind them, regretted entering that elevator at the same time as the couple.

"Finally," he loudly gasped when the elevator doors opened. Then added, "Ants almost ate me up alive inside the elevator. Go and walk to your office now, you shameless lovebirds…"

Lana and Liam laughed as they went out of the elevator, ignoring Jorge, they got even more cheesy with Liam pulling Lana closer to him, with his arm on her shoulders.

Lana used the same room she did before. She smiled, looking at the four corners of the room. The room Liam gave her had brought them closer to each other, staying at the same office together and having meals together.

And now she was back in the same room. She was not there just to cling to her husband, but because she really intended to assist him with work like she used to, except the fact that she would only handle cases that require just counseling and would not do any field work. Basically, she'd just adhere to any lighter jobs she could do as a lawyer.

The newspaper was already on her table as she sat. She grabbed it to read and almost immediately let out a sigh. Seeing the headline, she understood that today's news was all about Rio Tang's suicide.

Lana bit her lip. She could not help but feel sorry for her and wondered if she and Liam could send something for the woman's family, at least. She had heard that Rio Tang was the only breadwinner in her family.

Liam opened her door and said, "I can see your gloomy expression from my seat, love. It will not be good for our baby. You should always smile. What's wrong?"

Lana did not know how to react in front of Liam, he was always worried about her and the baby. She handed him the newspaper because she could not put her feelings and concerns into words at that moment.

Liam already heard the news as well, but did not get the chance to talk to Lana about it since he thought it was unnecessary.

"I think her downfall started when I canceled her contract with my mom's company as our brand endorser…" Lana whispered. It was just so sad that Rio Tang had to take her life, that she felt dying was easier than living.

Liam furrowed his brows and said, "It was her choice… There are a lot of things she could have done instead of taking her life. I think we should not talk about the dead like this, love. Come and join me for my meeting…"

Lana nodded and held the hand Liam extended.

It was the first time for Lana to attend an important meeting with Liam's important officers. He introduced her as his wife, and Lana could feel that her husband was proud of her being his wife.

"You should show her the same respect, as to how you all show me. My wife also topped the recent licensure exam, so you should watch out for her in the future. I bet she will achieve more greater things than me…" Lana wanted to hit her husband for giving an exaggerated introduction of her that her face reddened in embarrassment.

Everyone welcomed her warmly in the group, and Lana thanked them. Soon, the meeting started and Liam allowed her to give her point of view on various things at hand.

The meeting did not go on for too long, when it ended and with Liam and Lana were about to leave the room, Daryl almost tripped while rushing inside.

"We have a problem.." Daryl said, panting. Obviously, he ran to them all the way here.

He handed his tablet to Liam. Liam watched the video with Lana.

"It was the most trending video and searched keyword now. Reporters are outside flocking the entrance of the building. I tried to shut down the site but every time we succeeded a new one popped out. Netizens are enraged… there's even saying our company should shut down, causing someone's death..." Daryl commented

Then he looked at Lana and said, "You should call your mom Lana. Zhao Group is facing some backlash as well. I just don't get it that who is responsible for it and how could they manage to fabricate everything so meticulously, it all looks so real."

"It's real, every event that happened, it's just that most of the scenes were cut out to look like Rio Tang is the sole victim in here and is being bullied." Liam calmly commented.

"I will call mom," Lana said in a worried tone. It was her who was responsible for Rio Tang's being ditched by their company and not her mother. Liam nodded and said, "Just relax and tell mom that I will take care of everything.

"Her fan base is still huge… And it's really alarming Liam. I heard a lot of consumers are boycotting Zhao's brand of cosmetics." Daryl added and Liam gave him a glare signaling him to shut up.

"Mian, bring Lana to the office first while I talk to Daryl and take care of things.

Liam nodded and guided Lana back who was busy dialing her mother's number on her mobile phone but she could not get through since the line was busy.
