The Law of Attraction-Chapter 33: I'll take Care Of You
Miss Rio Tang was gloating over the bad luck of Lana and thought Liam was simply playing with her looking at her simple cheap dress.
"How about let me help you and give you some designer clothes that I had used earlier and am not gonna use again? This will at least save your face in the parties like these ones next time?" Rio added with an evil smirk.
Lana raised her eyebrows and gave Rio a nonchalant smile, showing how ineffective her words had been in making her feel down.
"You really look pitiful picking on me whenever you have time. I guess in Liam's eyes a rag is preferable than an uncouth woman who's just covered with nice clothes, accessories not to add the repulsive heavy makeup. How about let me help you in realising that you need to polish your inner self instead of your outer appearance?" Lana calmly commented as she called a waiter for another glass of wine, enjoying Rio Tang's furious face.
She wondered if the woman could stoop any lower and would start fighting by pulling her hair in the middle of the party. Lana could only wait for that wench to try her guts for that and see if that Tang could manage touching even a single hair of hers.
"Parasite b*tch!" Lana heard Rio's grunt, trying her best to control her anger.
"Desperate b*tch?" Lana mumbled with a smirk and gave Rio a one-over.
Lana could feel the wench would definitely pull up some stupid trick to attack her, so she was ready to dodge in case Rio spilled her drink on her.
Rio was wiggling her glass of wine, but she was not reckless enough to spill it on Lana by her own hands. She had other tricks up her sleeves.
She smirked seeing a waitress with a tray of drinks approaching them… just as she reached near them, Rio Tang made sure that no one around was looking, moved her right foot to trip the waitress in such an angle that she would fall directly on Lana with all the drinks on her tray.
Everything happened so fast and Lana did not expect a waitress tripping towards her, spilling all the wine on her tray onto her ivory dress.
Lana was left stunned and wet with all the wine and other drinks spilled on her dress. Her white dress had stains of red wine from top dripping down her chest to the bottom. Lana started looking very conscious of her state and stood there for a while without moving.
Rio was very happy to see Lana in such a state and sneered at her, "Oh… Looks like you need to leave early for home tonight dear! Too bad the night is still young but your dress… Oh it added colors to your plain gown though?" Rio was happily goading while the waitress kept on apologising to Lana for ruining her dress.
Lana exhaled and ignored Miss Tang's harsh words instead. She looked at the waitress and asked, "where's the restroom?"
The waitress offered to accompany Lana. Before Lana left, she looked at Liam who seemed busy talking with other men and couldn't inform him about the incident. She then hurriedly left with the waitress, before any commotion occurred, and walked towards the restroom.
She was calm on the outside but her mind was on fire and she knew she had to slap that b*tch on her face and for that she would come back into the party with a bang, not like the intern Lana… but as Lana Huang… the socialite who rarely attended every party.
"I'm sorry, Miss…" The waitress apologized over and over again while they walked towards the restroom
"It's okay, It's not your fault. Just be careful next time. Go back to your work now," Lana said to the waitress with an understanding look, then dismissed her.
Lana quickly went inside the restroom and saw herself in the mirror. She felt bad for her dress that she liked to wear casually in small parties. Her dress was a total mess, ivory white colour looked horrible with stains of red wine here and there.
She thought for a moment and unlocked her mobile phone to call their family stylist and planned to give Rio Tang a taste of her own medicine with her grand return in the party.
'That wench is really asking for it.' Lana mused as she dialled the number.
She hated attracting too much attention in any party or gathering. She belonged to an elite business family but rarely did she ever attend any party and was only seen with her group of friends.
She was well known by her name in the social circle but was not recognised by a lot of people because of her habit of keeping a low profile. Tonight also Lana would let it pass without much show, but Rio Tang was asking for it so she said, "Bring me the best gown that will fit in a high class party as early as you can. Yes, that one will do. Yes."
She gave her address but unfortunately, it would take them some time. "Are you sure that's the fastest you can arrive? Alright, I understand, try to contact someone who can arrive here as early as possible. Thanks." She answered on the other line before ending the call.
Lana was feeling frustrated and didn't know how to accelerate the things to get back at the party soon.
As she was busy trying to find more options, one of the cubicle doors opened and Lana saw Brione coming out from behind it. She was actually star struck with Brione's beauty, looking at her closely like this made her giddy.
Lana unconsciously eyed her from top to bottom. Brione looked so glamorous in her black and gold sequin embellished off the shoulder fitted bodice gown with a sweetheart neckline and floor-length skirt with a long train.
"Oh, my gosh! Young lady, what happened to your dress? Do you have another dress to change into?" Brione suddenly burst when she saw Lana's reflection in the mirror.
"Oh wait right, you're the one talking on the phone to your stylist?" Brione asked looking around if there was anyone else with them since she heard a woman requesting someone to arrive fast and bring her dress.
"Yeah, they might take a little long to arrive because of the traffic." Lana said with an awkward smile.
"Oh, by the way I'm Brione." Brione said and extended her hand to Lana.
'I'm Lana," she held her hand to shake with Brione's and answered with a timid smile.
She wished she could take a selfie with Brione right then but her dress was not in a condition to even take a selfie with such a superstar. She would but definitely take a selfie with Brione later. Brione was undeniably a superstar...
"Hmm, nice name Lana. Hmm, how about this? I have my things and even dresses with me always so I can help you with the dress instead of waiting for your personal stylist. Come with me and I'll take care of you." Brione excitedly remarked and even pulled Lana's wrist rushing her out of the restroom.
