The Law of Attraction
chapter-5

At Sy Law Firm

"Please get me something to eat inside my office." Liam instructed his secretary and walked towards his room.

He abruptly stopped walking, turned to secretary Mian and added, "Oh and tell Luo that I want every single detail about a girl named Lana Huang on my desk right away!"

Secretary Mian's heart almost popped out looking at that gloomy face of her boss. She wondered when would come a time that their cold CEO Lawyer would give a smile even once.

She immediately dialed assistant Jorge's number in her phone while typing on her laptop to search about the woman named Lana Huang. Then she relayed Liam's instruction to Attorney Luo.

"OMG!!!" she gasped, mouth agape as she watched the video she clicked.

Meanwhile, Liam was still fuming with embarrassment. Never in his entire life had he imagined himself in that situation.

He rested his head comfortably on his chair and closed his eyes to calm himself.

"Hah! Compensate me? Does she think it would be that easy for her? Do you think I would go easy on you like that?" he hissed, with eyes still shut.

'How could that woman use me like that? How dare she kiss me!' he mused.

He unconsciously touched his lips while the entire scene replayed in his head. Liam cursed, still annoyed at the discomfort that woman caused him.

Liam got startled in his somber state when the door opened and Jorge barged in.

"What happened?" Jorge exclaimed, still panting as he rushed back into the office upon receiving Mian's call and notice.

Liam opened his eyes and stared at him blankly.

"Are you done with lunch? Because I'm not done yet, and... I'm not in the mood for story telling," Lian plainly responded.

Jorge took a seat on the couch and took a while to calm his breath after running back in the office.

After a while he started, "Liam! Your father will kill me! Why did you kiss another woman instead of your date!" Jorge hissed. Mian had already briefed her about the trending video.

Liam stared at him with his sharp gaze and Jorge felt the pressure around him dropping down. Liam was already fuming with anger and his words fanned the flames further high.

He waited in vain for an answer from Liam and suddenly jumped up when the loud tone of his mobile ringing pierced the silence of the room. Jorge's face paled when he saw the caller ID.

Liam could easily guess the caller and so he commanded Jorge, "Answer it and tell him that it was all just a mistake and I will clear things out soon."

His father was constantly calling him for a long while before he called Jorge and he did not bother to answer him, but Jorge must answer that call.

Jorged nodded and answered the phone. "I understand uncle… Yes he's here. Right in front of me. Yes... okay... I will tell him that."

The call ended and Jorge exhaled a heavy sigh before speaking, "Your father, he wants me to tell you that he is very proud of you and he is now crying out of joy. He wants you to bring the girl over this weekend to meet him and he insisted that don't let him down this time. And…"

Jorge hanged his words, hesitation crossed his face.

Liam frowned and asked, "What?"

Jorge pressed his lips together, raising his brows and trying hard to control his laughter, he revealed, "Well, he said -'Good job you SAVAGE brat! I'm so proud of you! That's how a Sy should do things!-'"

Liam almost choked on his own saliva hearing that.

"What does he mean by this? Why is he saying this? That woman clearly harassed me! Go and file a harassment case on that woman now!" Liam burst out.

Jorge did not know how he should react with the revelation.

'Liam Sy being harassed?! Is he kidding me?' he silently babbled. Obvious disbelief was all over his face that made Liam's lips draw back in a snarl.

"What? You don't believe me? Why are you giving me that look? Jorge, that woman kissed me as soon as I entered the restaurant! She took advantage of me!" Liam yelled.

Jorge's eyebrows rose, with a smug face, he questioned, "Liam, the kiss lasted pretty long. You two were practically french kissing in front of so many people, and you want me to believe that you're being harassed, when you could easily push that woman away and get away from that kiss. I doubt that woman could even keep you fixed in that post with all her strength, well not unless you…"

Jorge paused, hesitation in continuing further was evident in his eyes. He had watched the complete video that Mian sent him, before running back to the office and he still could not believe that it was actually Liam in the video. But that kiss did not look like harassment, from any angle, Liam Sy was equally engrossed in the whole act and was kissing her back with the same passion as a boyfriend would…

Well… Almost...

No wonder Senior Sy was on cloud nine after watching that video. The thought of his son being in a relationship with a woman was the most precious gift for him in this lifetime.

"What Jorge? Say it dammit…unless what?" Jorge heard Liam croak.

"For real Liam? Do you want me to say the obvious? Of course it won't last that long unless you enjoyed that kiss…" Jorge grunted.

Liam's face paled while his jaw clenched. He was speechless… Finding the right words to defend himself.

Jorge grinned. 'Liam Sy is speechless?'

"Jorge, the situation was really awkward at that moment. She asked me to help her and suddenly kissed me. I was caught off guard." Liam defended.

"Yeah right. I bet you were ONLY caught off guard…" Jorge teased.

"I won't let that woman off, Jorge. I will file a harassment case against her and make sure she will rot in jail." Liam mumbled.

"What for? You're overreacting too much Liam. Didn't you hear what I said? Your dad is happy and he wants to meet her. Why not take this opportunity instead? This is actually a good opportunity for you to stop your father from arranging anymore blind dates for you." Jorge continued as he divulged his idea to Liam.

They were interrupted when Mian informed Liam on the intercon that Luo wanted to talk to him. "Let her in…" Liam answered.

"What did you find out for me?" Liam, with brows snapped together at Luo, asked.

"It's now trending… " Atty. Luo stated. She moved her eyeglass and gave assistant Jorge a meaningful gaze.

"For goodness sake I'm here you know…" Liam blankly murmured.

"Well the kiss is trending… Best kiss… Hot kiss..." Atty. Luo continued explaining, but paused feeling the sharp daggers thrown towards her from Liam.

Luo straightened her back and looked at her tablet to begin reading.

"Lana Huang, 23 years old turning 24 next month. A law student at Stan University, graduating this year…"

"What?" Liam and Jorged replied in chorus. Hearing the word 'law'.

Luo gulped and continued, "She's from the Huang Family that owns the Zhou Group that is currently dominating the manufacturing of several beauty products worldwide. She went to the military at the age of..."

"Stop! That's enough… Just send all these details to me..." Liam snorted.

Liam dismissed Luo but the latter did not leave, giving an awkward look to Liam and Jorge…

"What else Luo?" Jorge was the one who asked.

"Lana Huang is one of our incoming interns…" Luo informed with a half timid smile.

"What?!" Another word in the chorus from Liam and Jorge was heard.
