The Law of Attraction
chapter-72

At Zhao Group Building.

"Walk faster Rio will you?" Rio's manager grunted, seeing how slowly she was walking and was unenergetic as they went out to the car. She walked like a snail headed into the Zhao Group building for their appointment to meet and talk to the COO of Zhao group who had cancelled Rio's contract signing.

Rio rolled her eyes and scowled, "why are you in a hurry? Let them wait! How dare they cancel that contract with me!"

Rio's manager shook her head. Rio was indeed a superb talent and one of a kind, but her attitude was too much to handle. Rude and arrogant were still polite words in front of her attitude!

She heaved a long sigh before pressing the elevator button.

Rio on the other hand started showing off by giving the employees, who would greet her and asked for a selfie in the building with her fake smiles.

She was already inside the elevator when she saw the most hated woman in her glossary, Lana!

"What the heck is she doing here?" Rio snorted with a disgusted face. Her manager elbowed her to get herself together and behave.

Lana gave them her blank expressionless face and entered the same elevator. Rio looked around and there were only two female employees inside who were too busy taking a selfie with her.

So what if she threw her sharp words, she could just pay those two employees who would witness that and she was sure the CCTV would not make a fuss since she was a celebrity who would represent their company soon.

"What are you doing here? Have you been used as an errand girl by Liam and have been sent here for some lowly job… you lousy frustrated intern?" Rio whispered in Lana's ear.

"Does that make you happy, Miss Tang?" Lana asked in a sharp tone.

"I just wondered how can such a huge company with such a good reputation even allow anyone like you to enter their premises? What rights do you have to even step in this building and destroy the ambience of this lovely place? How I despise your face and hate the fact that I had to see your disgusted face before such an important meeting of mine. You better don't show me your sticking filthy face to me again."

Lana inhaled deeply and tried to calm herself down, then she heaved a long sigh. Rio Tang was really testing her enormous patience. After today, how she hoped not to see the woman ever again. She had no time to entertain such a hopeless idiot woman at all.

As soon as the elevator opened, Lana let Rio Tang and her manager walk out first. And she was grateful enough for Rio's manager, who stopped Rio from spurting out any more nonsense words while they were in the elevator and pulling Rio out that instant.

Most of the employees did not know Lana at all except for a few high ranked employees who would see her in important meetings or occasions like board meetings.

Lana informed her secretary of her presence, before walking directly to her mother's office.

"Dear, why are you here?" Mrs. Huang burst with a smile.

Lana hugged her mother and said, "I'm here to shoo away a dirty buzzing fly out from our company."

"Huh?" Mrs. Huang breathed, confused with her daughter's words. Lana then told a quick summary to her mother about her encounters with Rio Tang so her mother would at least have an idea about why she decided to cancel the contract signing for Rio.

"How dare that lady touch my precious!" Mrs. Huang exclaimed. She was furious with her flaring nostrils and clenched jaw.

"That's why I was hesitating to tell you about it. Look how stressed you are? I can take care of her mom. I just told you so that you won't be surprised why Rio Tang was taken out as a model for our products. Today, I will meet her and settle things out." Lana reassured, to pacify her mother's annoyance.

"Show her that you're not just an ordinary woman but Lana Huang!" Mr. Huang added. She would definitely teach that woman a lesson for bullying her precious daughter. Although Lana would take care of it already but for her, it would not be enough so she would have her own ways to give that arrogant celebrity a dose of her own medicine!

After some more talking, Lana's secretary reminded her of her appointment with Rio and her manager.

"I'll go now mom." Lana said and kissed her mother.

As soon as Lana was out. Mrs. Huang called out her assistant and instructed, "Give me all the details about Rio Tang, every single detail about her including all her current projects and endors.e.m.e.nts now and every offer!"

"Noted Madam," her secretary answered, though a bit shocked at how mad the Chairman was at that moment.

Meanwhile, Lana walked towards the room where Rio and her manager waited. The company's marketing manager was also inside and was about to greet Lana, but she signaled her not to stand up. Rio and her manager did not notice her arrival since their backs face the glass door.

Rio, who was playing like a kid on the swiveling chair, finally saw her walking towards them. Rio was shocked and suddenly furious seeing Lana inside the meeting room.

"What the hell do you think about yourself you b*tch that you even dare to follow me here? Do you even know that you can be arrested for trespassing in the confidential meetings and be even charged for stealing here? Tell me what kind of intentions are you harbouring that you have followed me till this meeting room?"

The marketing manager was shocked to see the ever so beautiful Rio Tang behaving in such a wild manner. She was also unable to understand why all such words were spoken for her COO. She tried to stand up and say something when Lana again signalled her to be quiet and stand where they were.

"What do you think you are doing here? Don't tell me Liam has already kicked you out not only from his office but also from his life and finally you have gotten back to jobs of your level... and I am sure you are here to do the clerical works bitch?!" Rio leered, while her manager crumpled her face at her brazen behaviour. Rio's manager tried to silence Rio, then apologized to the marketing manager in front of them.

Lana, who was waiting for Rio to stop, stood there with her hands crossed in front of her. The marketing manager could not bear to see that unacceptable behaviour anymore, so she stood up and introduced Lana to Rio Tang.

"Please meet our COO, Miss Lana Huang," the senior manager introduced immediately before Miss Rio Tang spurted anymore harsh words. Now, she totally understood why their COO cancelled Rio Tang's contract. She shook her head while looking at the paled faces of Rio and her manager.

Lana threw a poker smile both at Rio and her manager before saying, "I believe we don't need to waste anymore time in this meeting. Our company does not need to explain why we have cancelled that contract. My presence here is enough of an explanation for the same."

Then Lana looked at their Senior Manager and instructed, "Compensate them if it's needed. I have to go now since I have an important meeting. Please take care of the rest."

Their Senior Manager nodded. Lana gave Rio Tang one last glance. Riio stood there shocked and frozen, not able to grasp the whole situation as it unfolded. She was totally at a loss at how such a common woman, who wore non branded clothes and worked as an intern for a small amount of money, could be the COO of such a huge company? Was that a celestial prank being played on her?

"I hope this will be our last encounter." Lana muttered, looking intently at Rio before leaving the room.

Rio's manager finally gathered her senses when her mobile phone rang and beeped.

"I'm sorry what? Cancel? What are you saying? Hello! Hello!" Rio's manager burst and her eyes widened, reading the trail of so many incoming messages.

"Rio, most of your projects are cancelled!"

Rio slumped on the floor hearing that and clenched her fist hard. All the veins in her body were popping up.

'Do you think I'm done with you?!' she mused in great agony.
