The Law of Attraction

Lana's ears almost burst when Liam asked her not to create a scene inside the restaurant.

"Calm down Lana and please trust me for now, whatever it is that I am doing… Please just bear with it for the time being…" Liam whispered in a rush as they walked out of the door.

She hoicked her arm from his and hissed, "What's going on?"

Liam massaged his nape and whispered, "I'm at work right now. Can you please go to a different restaurant?"

Lana could sense that something was wrong. Liam was massaging his nape, he only did that when he was uncomfortable and lying.

Soon, a man approached him and said, "Attorney Sy, the boss is waiting for you inside."

Liam wanted to punch Yun's man who approached him, but he controlled himself. He could not bear to see Lana's gloomy and anxious expressions, but he needed to do this because Yun's eyes were everywhere.

"I'm sorry, Lana, but if you hear nothing from me… it only means one thing… I'm no longer interested in being with you." Liam pointed out and quickly turned around to leave with Yun's man.

Lana was left there, totally devastated, tears unconsciously fell from her eyes. She looked at Liam's back and saw him massaging his nape again.

What he said stabbed like a knife and she couldn't understand what he was up to after all but she was certain he was lying!

'Something is wrong. But why would he lie like that?' she muttered under her breath, to console herself, though tears kept flowing from her eyes. She bit her lips as she saw the woman pull Liam back to his seat, holding his arm and flirting with him.

'Liam could be in a complicated situation and I should not jeopardize him,' was the thought came to her mind, but still it was still hurtful. His words sliced her feelings whether or not he meant any of it .

'I'm no longer interested in being with you.' Those words were as painful as an arrow shot right through her heart.

She felt weak and couldn't even move forward by as much as a single inch.

"Are you alright?" she heard her client's voice from behind. She felt her client hold her by the arm and suggest, "Maybe we should eat at a different restaurant."

"That bastard!" Lana unconsciously whispered. She then quickly composed herself and gave her client a smile.

"It's okay, ma'am. If you want to eat here, let's eat here." Lana answered. She wanted to see what Liam would do. So she went back inside the restaurant, emotionless.

Liam inwardly cursed seeing Lana back at the table near them.

The bastard Yun seemed amused. With a grin on his face, he teased Liam, "She's a tough one, huh?"

Liam exhaled and answered , "Yeah, it's tiring… She's the dominant type…"

"I can see that. Look how composed she is already, when she was crying just moments earlier." Yun commented.

"Can we please talk about the matter at hand already?" Liam murmured.

Yun laughed and said, "Yeah, but let's eat first."

Liam had no appetite at all. He knew Lana was sneaking glances at him, but he never looked towards her side because Yun was still observing him.

"Hey… If you're not already interested in her, then play with a woman like me." Karen whispered in his ear after putting some dishes on his plate.

He chuckled and said, "Why not… after I fix Mr. Yun's problem, I will contact you right away. I hate mixing business with pleasure since it often affects my performance, so… wait until then."

Liam cursed because he knew after all this, he would be dead meat when he would finally meet Lana after everything was over.

"Right, women can often cause a problem. I honestly believe that women are a man's greatest downfall since I've witnessed it a lot…" Yun scorned since his brother was also one of the instances he witnessed. To him, on the other hand, women were just toys, good to play with…

"I'm pleased that you want to concentrate on winning my case. A huge reward awaits you for that,make sure we do not lose. You are the only person who never loses a case in the entire world, Liam. You made a really good name for yourself, that's why I wanted your service." Yun said.

Liam only gave him a poker smile before he focussed on eating.

Meanwhile, Lana sneaked glances at Liam every once in a while and she could not help but get furious… She wanted to pull out the hair of that woman and drag her away from her husband, but she knew that she must not act recklessly. She could sense something was wrong and knew that Liam was lying to her for a reason.

She took her time to calm down and observe.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Lana heard her client asking.

'He's my husband,' she wanted to say, but nodded at her client instead.

"Look, he has the nerve to flirt with that woman beside him." her client commented.

Lana exhaled loudly and said, "Ma'am, let's focus on our food instead and talk about your case."

The woman nodded, and Lana did try to focus on her food, but she knew she would soon get indigestion because of the ache in her heart.

She then occasionally talked to her client pertaining to her issues at hand, trying to distract herself. After some time, Lana watched Liam leave with his group.

Soon her client also took off since she had another appointment. Lana stayed in her seat with dropped shoulders and a heavy feeling in her heart.

"Liam asked me to trust him on whatever he was doing, but why does my chest feel so heavy?" she murmured with a cracked voice. She was too weak to even get up from her seat.

She did not know how to contact Liam at all, and it would not be advisable to follow him or meddle with what he was doing at the moment. She presumed that this had something to do with his closest cousins.

Lana heaved a long deep frustrated sigh. It pained her to watch her husband with another woman. She felt helpless for the first time, but she did not know what to do other than to wait and rely on Liam's words.
