The Law of Attraction
chapter-469

Lana heaved a long deep sigh as she wearily slumped on the couch in the living room as soon as she got back to Liam's apartment.

She felt very bad after her serious talk with Kyle over a cup of coffee, the one they had before she left the office. She could still see Kyle's shoulder dropping when she told him that she changed her mind about him staying with her in the company.

She honestly got him a better offer with Noah's help. Although Kyle was smiling as he accepted his transfer to Noah's firm, she knew she somehow made him feel sad.

He wanted to wrap up the things he started and asked her for some more time before he left and Lana agreed since it was the least she could do for him after all that he had done for her.

It was a decision she had to take, to make sure Liam would not feel any insecurities because of the fact that Kyle stayed with her while she was gone.

Lana felt so guilty to both parties because of the drastic decision she made at that time. Her friendship with Kyle had to stop because Liam's feeling matters most.

She apologized to Kyle several times and she honestly saluted Kyle for being so open-minded and understanding everything.

'Lana, be more careful, sensitive, and considerate from now on,' she hissed to herself and closed her eyes. A lot was going on and a lot needed to be done in the company, her mind was too tired causing her to doze off without even realizing it.

Liam arrived home a little early than usual since he had no more pending meetings. It was past six in the evening so he entered his apartment with a smile on his face, anticipating seeing Lana cooking in the kitchen. He was hoping to see her dancing and singing again.

As soon as he passed by the living area, his forehead creased, seeing Lana was sleeping on the couch. She was still wearing her office dress and her bag was on the table.

"She looks so tired…" he whispered as he walked towards her. The couch was big enough for him to fit in with her. She was in a comfortable position and deep sleep, Liam did not want to disturb her.

He was sure Lana did not have dinner yet so he immediately went into the kitchen and prepared a quick meal for both of them. He smiled at the thought that it would be the first time Lana would taste his cooking since she arrived so he cooked one of her favorites.

After he was done, he went back to the living room and stared at Lana for some more time, getting down on his bended knees in front of her. He raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek with the back of his hand as he whispered, "You're so beautiful."

Lana suddenly smiled and whispered, "I know right."

She then sheepishly opened her eyes, opened her arms wide, and said, "Come here, how about waking me up with a kiss."

Liam's face turned deep red and Lana pulled him instead by wrapping her arms on his neck since he was too close already. Liam did not move back and let Lana do what she wanted to since he would eventually end up doing the same, kissing her lovingly and passionately.

Lana stopped kissing him when her stomach suddenly grumbled. Liam heard it too so he chuckled and then whispered on her lips, "I already cooked dinner, the table is ready so let's eat first."

Lana nodded and got up from the couch. She suddenly felt excited and walked past Liam to see what he prepared.

"It's braised chicken thighs and apple and I also made some potato salad and chicken soup…" Liam remarked and he was pleased seeing Lana sit down in haste and started digging in.

"Wow. You've improved a lot. It tastes much better. Oh, I missed this," Lana unconsciously burst as she tried everything Liam prepared.

"Slow down. You'll get indigestion," Liam worriedly commented but he was answered by Lana's wink.

'Seriously?' Liam held his breath because Lana looked too adorable.

He did master all Lana's favorite dishes since he cooked them often, with the thought of a day like this… That she would come back and he would boast how he became a better cook with practicing all her favorite dishes.

"You asked me about the charity event…" Liam whispered.

Lana stopped eating and looked at him intently. Yes, she asked him if they could go together and Liam said he would think about it.

She wanted to go with him because she wanted everyone to know that Liam was already taken. She did not want any arranged marriage offers towards him anymore plus she did not want anyone like Sarah assuming that they would have the slightest chance to be with her man.

She stared at him, waiting and a bit nervous because if Liam happened to say yes then that only meant that he would eventually take her back in his life. It was like announcing his relationship with her to everyone since a lot of media would be present at the ball not to mention the whole high society.

"Let's go together," Liam plainly commented.

Lana's eyes rounded as she squealed and ran towards him to showered his face with kisses as she mumbled, "Oh thank you," several times after each kiss.

Liam could not hide his smile at all. He was so amused with this childlike Lana that he could not help but pull her nape as he whispered, "what's with these pecks and kisses? I prefer something mature…"

Lana was fl.u.s.tered but leaned closer to capture Liam's lips and give him a mature kiss. It was a deep passionate kiss that left both of them breathless.

"I can taste how good I made that potato salad from your mouth…" Liam teased and Lana suddenly felt bashful. Her Liam… was slowly opening up to her seeing he could finally and comfortably joke around her like he used to before.
