The Law of Attraction

Chapter 41: A Male Visitor

The next morning, Lana slept till late since she was too lazy to wake up early, probably because she felt terribly exhausted after experiencing Rio's top notch bitchiness and had to deal with it all. Oh, how she hoped she would never meet that wench again, but she had a nagging feeling that it would be impossible and that woman would not rest that easily.

She sat up on her bed. She had a habit of picking up her mobile to check messages in the morning. Lana let out a small cry and scrunched her face, seeing a lot of missed calls from her secretary and also from the marketing manager of her cosmetics company.

"Oh, why can't I have a peaceful day without mention of that woman? Let me freshen up and eat first," she mumbled as she got up from bed and took a quick shower. She immediately went down to cook a quick meal for her brunch since it was already noontime.

She brought her food and went to the living area and opened the television while eating. She started watching a noontime show when her mobile phone rang and Lana saw a familiar name flashing on the screen.

"Yes?" She accepted the call and answered with a cold tone.

"Ma'am, about the appointment…" the manager reminded her about the request for an appointment of Miss Tang's manager.

"Alright. Set the meeting and schedule it for next week. Let's close that file for once and for all.." Lana lazily said before ending the call.

As soon as her call with the marketing manager ended, she received another call.

"Hello girl… Are you busy today?" Clyde asked from the other side.

"No, I'm not. Come over." Lana mumbled and ended the call.

Lana's doorbell soon rang, and she smiled, thinking her boredom will be solved now, expecting Clyde to be at her place.

She hopped towards the door and opened. With a wide smile she said, "So fast, huh? Were you just around whe…."

Lana's eyes opened wide. She was stunned to see the person standing at her doorstep. It was not Clyde who stood there, but...

"Liam?" She burst out shocked at who was standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Lana asked, a little confused and shocked with his sudden visit.

Liam coughed a bit, clearing his throat before explaining, "I was around this area, I had to meet a client here, so I thought to stop by your place and bring some important documents, related to a case I want you to assist me in, so that you can go through it today."

He then scanned Lana quickly and found her looking great even though she was wearing a plain shirt and shorts.

Lana's one brow lifted up hearing his words. "And yet I thought it would be my free day today. Huh… all bosses are alike," she mumbled with a sarcastic smile

"I believe the files I will give will rather thrill you. Can we discuss it inside? It's a little uncomfortable standing here." Lana snapped out when she heard Liam mutter.

Lana sighed and opened the door for him, Liam followed and signaled Andrew to bring the documents into Lana's living room. She did not dare complain about the files being sent to her home personally by the boss since the news of assisting Liam in an important case was enough to make her feel giddy and ready to study all the said files even on her free day.

She was about to offer food for the two when she noticed Andrew put down some paper bags.

"What's that?" she asked.

"Oh, I ordered take out for us both, just in case you haven't eaten lunch yet." Liam explained.

"Hmm, I already finished lunch but thanks, anyway." Lana sat on the couch and signaled Liam to sit beside her while she checked the documents.

Liam dismissed Andrew and comfortably sat on her couch while he said, "This is all about Miss Gale Ming's case. Her trial will start next week and I am planning to tag you along as my assistant in this case. It will be better if you can familiarize yourself with all the people involved and go through every minute detail, in case I missed out on anything you have to remind me, though I doubt I will…"

"Lana dear! I'm here!" Liam's words were cut off by a man's creepy and enthusiastic cheer.

His voice lost and jaw dropped seeing a hunk walking straight into Lana's house who went to her and even grabbed Lana by her shoulders. He gave her a cheek to cheek kiss.

Liam's brain cells started exploding in his head.

'Who the hell is he? Walking inside as if it's his house?' he hissed inwardly, giving a scrutinizing look from head to toe to the stranger who pulled Lana up from her seat.

The man was tall, with a lean and fit body that could be obviously seen in his fitted shirt. He was pretty good looking as a whole. Liam wondered who that man could be.

"I see you have a visitor." Liam heard the man say then that man gave him the same scanning gaze, as he did, to Liam. Liam frowned further, noticing the penetrating glance the man gave him.

Liam clearly remembered telling Lana to rest and hence gave her a day off, but here she was entertaining a visitor at home, much worse a male visitor to his dismay!
