The Law of Attraction

At Sy Mansion

Liam arrived home in time for dinner after dropping Lana at her home. He wanted to ask Lana to eat dinner together, but he felt Lana would again ask him too many questions.

"Where's Miley?" Liam asked, seeing Miley's chair vacant during dinner.

"Oh, she had gone on a date." Senior Sy casually commented before forking another bite of meat. He too was startled when his daughter informed him that she would not join them at dinner. It was the first time Miley actually accepted a date offer from numerous suitors that kept haunting elder Sy.

Liam turned his gaze on Jorge who met his eyes followed by a shrug. Liam was kind of amused when he saw the downtrodden expressions on Jorge's face.

'Serves him right.' Liam thought.

"With whom?" Liam asked.

"With Gab." Senior Sy answered.

"Gab?!" Liam and Jorge repeated in chorus.

Jorge almost yelled his name and his eyes showed clear discontent. Liam was also shocked and couldn't admire this step of his sister any less.

They both very well knew the man named Gab, because their father was Gab's godfather. He was also from a prominent family that was a close acquaintance of the Sys.

"Yeah, Gab had asked her out so many times already and finally Miley decided to give it a try. Looks like she has started giving dating a serious thought now." Senior Sy added before picking up some vegetables.

Liam shook his head, seeing the dropped shoulders and dejected looks of Jorge while he stared at his plate like he was out of himself.

"It's a good thing she's started dating and going out. She should date a few men and then select the best among the rest afterwards for herself," Liam intentionally commented, adding salt on Jorge's wound.

Senior Sy almost choked on the meat he was chewing that he spit it on his plate, then gave Liam a twitched look. Liam answered him with a shrug and gave Jorge a knowing look, waiting for a counterattack from him.

Jorge's nostrils flared with anger and with knitted brows mused, 'you want some fatal blow, huh? Your wish is my command!'

With a smug smile on his face, Jorge divulged, "Did Lana mention that she is going to meet Noah also tomorrow? She told me it was Noah who accidentally bumped in her car. She also mentioned that during the party in which she went with you something happened and there Noah helped her out tremendously, and hence she owes him for his help during the party.

I mean, think about it. She had filed a leave for the whole day. How long do you think that checking on her car and doing some checking of the report will take? I think it won't take her entire day. Maybe she might be going to meet with Noah and also has some plans to go out with him somewhere… what say Liam? Did Lana tell you anything about it?"

Jorge had asked Lana about her plans for the next day and she told these things to him. Well, he exaggerated it a bit, changing some names like Brione to Noah.

He would have actually told all this to Liam, but then they went separate ways later since Liam was driving his own car to drop Lana to her house.

Now, he was satisfied he had something to rebuke Liam as a wonderful revenge for what he said earlier about Miley.

He grinned deviously seeing Liam's gloomy face, so he added, "Maybe they will just have a casual meal together and nothing more, but I heard from Lana herself that she thinks Noah to be a good person and she wanted to thank the man and return him something."

Senior Sy shook his head. He was tickled by the way the two grown ups were verbally sparring with each other.

He clearly understood that Jorge had purposely thrown those words at Liam. He wondered if his son inherited the possessiveness that he had while being in a relationship, but he hoped he would not.

Liam, who decided to have the last laugh casually said, "Yeah, I know Lana's whereabouts and I will also meet her tomorrow."

Soon after, Liam rose up from his chair and said, "I'm done eating."

Before walking out, he turned to Jorge and said, "You know, it's high time and you should check on Miley, but never mind. She's not called yet, so I guess she's enjoying her date. Gab is actually a good catch, and he would readily agree to marry her also."

Then a smirk appeared on Liam's beautiful shaped lips.

"This…" Jorge exclaimed in irritation because Liam was intentionally pulling his leg down. But he paused, realizing their father was watching.

"Sorry father," Jorge meekly muttered, and he continued trying to finish his food and let Liam off. But Liam's words penetrated deep within him. He looked at the wall clock in their dining area and sigh.

He could not even finish his food.

"I asked you to help Liam with Lana but it seems like you'll be more occupied in battling your own dilemma." Senior Sy commented, before wiping his mouth after drinking half a glass of water.

Then he stood up to leave, but before leaving, he looked at Jorge and said, "I'm done eating too. How come you are eating this slowly tonight, Jorge. I'll go ahead and watch the drama series I've been following. Oh, by the way… Butler Dan knows where Miley is."

Jorge stood up that instant and ran to butler Dan. He couldn't believe Miley was taking what she said seriously.

"Dating Gab? That weirdo? Had she lost her mind? What is she up to? Why can't she grow up?" he muttered as he walked in the hallway. Well, Gab was indeed a good catch, but that man looked like a weirdo whenever he talked because Gab had a lot of superstitious beliefs.

He finally saw butler Dan and asked, "Where is Miley?"

Butler Dan gulped before saying, "Uhm, she said… If you want to know where she is just call her directly and don't ask me. Sorry Sir Jorge, but she did not tell me where her date will be."

"Huh? How about father?" Jorge asked.

Butler Dan shook his head then explained, "Senior Sy doesn't know her whereabouts too. Miss Miley just told him she will give me the place, but she didn't give it to me and just left me those messages for you."

Butler Dan scratched his head, seeing the annoyance on Jorge's face. He saw Jorge turned around and was about to leave when he recalled another word from Miley.

"Oh, Sir Jorge… Miss Miley also said not to worry for her since she will absolutely enjoy the night with Mister Gab…" Butler Dan added and he heard Jorge cursed before running out of the mansion.
