The Law of Attraction

Lana's last day inside the review center finally arrived. All their professors in the center cheered for them and gave them a lot of encouragement before they all left the center.

Lana felt so excited as she went out, knowing Liam would be there waiting for her. While in the center, she actually came with new ideas about her plans on how to move her career forward.

She saw Liam talking to one professor outside. Lana greeted both as she reached near Liam.

"Hmm, no wonder I noticed you were often here in the last month," the professor teased, seeing Lana encircled her arms on Liam.

"Yeah…" Liam answered while looking at Lana with a doting smile.

The professor looked at Lana and commented, "I'm sure you will do great. Are you going to enter Sy Law Firm once you pass the licensure exam?"

Lana smiled and said,, "Yes, I will eventually but after some time professor. I want to try being a freelance lawyer first…"

Liam was surprised to hear that because the last time he recalled Lana was planning to go to the Yao law firm first.

"Oh, I see… I agree with you. Being a contract lawyer is more enjoyable for a first timer. Working for yourself and being your own Boss is the best thing to happen. Well, except that you would be on a tight budget… Connection will still be the best."

Lana laughed and said, "I'm too bossy to be bossed around Sir. So I want to work as an independent contractor."

Liam was quiet as Lana had a small chat further. Soon the couple said their goodbye to the professor and went inside the car and left. While driving, Liam asked, "Freelance lawyer? I thought you would be going to the Yao legal firm?"

"Oh yeah, that's the initial plan… But then after careful thinking, and after Keira called me up on various nights, I decided doing freelancing service is more suitable for me right now, even more challenging, the better choice for me. I will call Noah later and inform him of what I have decided since he might be expecting me to join his firm after the exam."

Lana then looked at Liam. She moved closer and hugged one of his arms and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

"Also, we will soon have a wedding publicly so there's no point in working at any other firm. It would be best to work for my husband's firm soon. A lot has changed recently Liam. I'm more confident about myself now and more ready to face anything with you, unlike before when I had a lot of hesitation in me and wanted to prove my worth. Like what you said once, it's better to do things together…"

Liam chuckled and said, "So why do you want to do freelancing first? Just come straight to our company and start your career there, besides it's yours already. What's mine is all yours, Lana. And of course, you're all mine…"

Lana laughed loudly at his cheesy words. Liam honestly thought his last line was too corny but his wife bought it so maybe he was getting really better in making her laugh?

"Well, it's Keira's suggestion. She said it's more exciting working as a freelancer and she will also help me get more clients. In that way, your fame won't overshadow my capabilities and when I will finally join you I will have attained my own niche. You're famous you know… Not that it bothers me of course… It's just that I want to enjoy my first years in this craft without too much pressure to prove myself against you."

Then Lana chuckled and added, "Haha, We can't even tell if I will really pass the licensure exam."

Liam kissed Lana's head and whispered, "Whatever it is that you want… I'll be always here to support you, love."

Then he suddenly thought of Luo. He should pull her out of Yao's legal firm that instant. While they were discussing their plans Lana's mobile phone rang, so she sat back properly and smiled seeing it was her mother calling her.

"Yes, mom?" she enthusiastically answered.

"Liam is driving, why? Wait, didn't you miss me? How come you're asking for Liam when it's me whom you called and you're talking too." Lana asked in a sulky voice.

Mrs. Huang laughed and answered, "You brat, of course I miss you too. That's why I called to check if you're near. I have prepared lunch and am waiting for you both, but I want it to be served hot so call me when you're almost near. By the way, buy that cake your husband loves. I noticed he loves eating that blueberry cheesecake."

"Alright mom, got it." Lana said before the call ended.

"Hey it's natural for mom to miss me too since I was rarely able to see her during the entire period of one month when you were in the centre, because I stayed with my father during this time." Liam said, chuckling.

"Oh, don't forget to stop at the bakery. Mom had asked me to buy something on the way home."

Liam nodded, knowing the bakery Lana referred to. He too liked the blueberry cheesecake they have.

He stopped the car as they reached the bakery, Lana got down first and went inside. Liam followed her after parking the car.

Lana quickly grabbed the cake and some bread, then proceeded to the counter.

"I love that one…" Liam whispered in Lana's ear as she paid while he hugged her from behind. Lana's face blushed. She had never thought she would also indulge in such kind of public displays of affection, something she often criticized whenever she saw a couple expressing love in public places like that.

If her friends would see how much she has changed, they would definitely tease her nonstop, because there were a lot of such things she opposed vocally and very adamantly and also kept on mentioning in front of her friends as wrong to do publicly.

She even kept insisting that those would not happen with her ever… but she was now surprised that all those things did happen with her already, and she too was happily indulging in all of those PDAs wholeheartedly.

"Let���s go," Lana whispered, and Liam loosened his hug on her so she could turn around and he could take the paper bag she bought when a woman almost tripped after she came inside the bakery.

Lana was fast to tend to her side and helped her get up on her feet.

"Are you okay ma'am?" Lana asked with concern. The woman's face was pale, so she thought she could be sick.

"I'm fine, dear…" The woman said with a faint smile.

"Are you sure? If you're not feeling well, we can help you go to the hospital. Are you alone?" Liam asked. He put the paper bags on the table to help Lana assist the woman who seemed weak to even walk towards a chair.

The woman looked at Liam and whispered, "Such a fine young man you have become."
