The Law of Attraction-Chapter 25: Victim Of Someone’s Arrogance

Rio was clenching her teeth by the public display of affection shown by that wench and Liam. On one side, Flor was annoyed but couldn't tell her words to Rio Tang.

Liam felt happy by the way Lana took care of the entire situation. Lost in himself, he was startled when Lana suddenly gave him more meat on his plate.

"Don't give too much thoughts about whatever I am doing, because I am doing all this just to irritate your hardcore admirer who is still killing me with her deadly gaze from her table even now. This way I can kill her with irritation…" Lana whispered while she acted too sweet to Liam.

"Ahhh…" Lana signaled him to open his mouth and accept the meat she forked.

Liam frowned, but Lana rounded her eyes at him and muttered, "Do you want her to keep on bugging you? And also me? Open up..."

Liam opened his mouth awkwardly, wondering if people were looking at them. Lana spoke, "Don't worry everyone is busy eating except for your one solid admirer…"

Liam sneakily looked at Miss Tang's direction and cursed. Lana was right, it was like the woman's eyes were fixed on them. So he no longer debated and accepted food by Lana's hands. He too did the same to Lana.

Lana was extra thoughtful that she even wiped the smudge on Liam's face that made the latter flinch...

"Stop that," Lana heard Liam mutter in complaint that made Lana inwardly grin. She was enjoying the uncomfortable look on Liam's face.

'Hah! That's what you get for making a fuss over my outfit and my beautiful legs…' Lana triumphantly rejoiced in her silent ways.

She then raised her eyebrows and mumbled, "What? I told you before that those types of women, like that drooling actress of yours, are hard to deal with. You know why? Because they hate losing over an ordinary woman, like me, since they already think too highly of themselves. Just wait and see how they can extend their arrogance just to get the man they set their eyes on. I bet she's even planning something sinister against me."

"You're overreacting… and... she is not mine." Liam commented.

Lana laughed. With shrugged shoulders, she added, "No I'm not overreacting and let me tell you that I will charge you for any liabilities that woman would incur in pestering me. Soon she will try to make my life a living hell. And it won't be free because you will have to compensate me once that happens…"

"Compensate like what?" Liam asked out of curiosity.

"Don't worry, I will ask only things related to law and my career." Lana assured to clear any doubts if there was any with Liam.

Liam smirked and scoffed, "You sound too sure about Miss Tang. Who knows, this time she may stop already after seeing us together so many times."

"Then that's good if that happens. Less hassle on my part." Lana murmured.

Though she was sure about Miss Tang's revengeful attitude because she had seen people like that. She even knew a person who became a victim of someone's arrogance. A woman who destroyed a family just to get what she wanted. Well, it was not entirely that b*tch's fault, but the man who let it happen was equally responsible. Most men were weak and women were often their weakness.

Liam's eyebrows collided seeing Lana's face darkened, so he asked, "Are you okay?"

Lana gave him a nod and said, "Yes, I'm fine just that I recalled something worth not recalling…"

'Liam looks a lot different from all such men, probably because he is a homo!' she thought in her mind.

When they finished lunch and were about to leave, Lana was caught off guard when Liam suddenly grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers, clasping her hand strongly .

"Your best friend is still looking so don't think too highly of yourself. I'm just doing this to piss her off more, not because I like to hold your hand in mine." Liam whispered with an expressionless face.

Lana shook her head and rode with the flow since she wanted to irritate that arrogant Rio Tang also.

Miss Tang's fury knew no bounds when she saw Liam holding her hand so intimately, she wished she could kill that lowly woman that instant.

Lana immediately retracted her hand from Liam as soon as they were out of Miss Tang's sight. She failed to notice the quick smile on Liam's face.

Inside the car, Liam looked at his wristwatch as they headed back to the office. "You can go home once we are back in the office." Liam informed Lana since it was almost past office hours.

"Oh… Can your driver drop me at the cab waiting area instead." Lana replied.

"Why? Where's your car?" Liam asked with a furrowed forehead.

"It's under repair…" Lana responded. She could get another one of her cars parked at Huang mansion, but she was too lazy that morning to go and pick one.

Lana heard Liam instruct his driver to bring her home instead of dropping her at the cab station.

"You don't have to Liam, I can take a cab."

Liam turned towards her and with his casual tone said, "I think I'm being too lenient with you. If you utter another word refusing my good intentions, I will let you stay in the office tomorrow and won't take you for client visits."

Lana quickly zipped her mouth. Liam had a controlled smile, feeling achieved in winning over Lana at that point. The woman never ran out of debate. All her debating skills would only be good to apply if she was inside the courtroom, but absolutely must be a big no in front of him! She was the only woman who did not get intimidated by him.

"How did you go to the office this morning?" Liam asked.

"I called for a cab." Lana simply answered.

"You can ride with me while your car is not available. My schedule for this entire week is mostly going out so if you like I can pick and drop you since your area is on the way to my home, anyway."

Liam's driver, Andrew, gulped as he tried to suppress coughing because he felt like choking. He wondered what way his Boss was referring to, because Lana's house was so out of the way from Liam's.

'Did he know another way, like any shortcut, that I do not know of?' he mused as he shook his head. Jorge would be happy to hear an update from him once they got home. He would soon have a bonus again for reporting such significant progress.

"I better remind you also about the nearing weekend… My father is expecting you that day." Liam reminded Lana.

"Yeah, I got it." Lana whispered with a grin.
