The Law of Attraction

"Hello Atty. Sy. How have you been?" Miss Tang greeted him with her seductive smile.

"Hello Ms. Tang. I am great. I will catch you later as I am looking for someone." Liam tried to avoid her and take a detour.

The scheming cells of Ms. Tang got activated, and she immediately said, "Are you looking for your intern? I saw her going towards the restroom in a very sorry state, probably some waiter accidentally tripped and spilled some wine on her dress."

"If she is not back yet, maybe she went home already. Did she not even inform you?" Miss Tang casually added and even offered her glass to Liam for a toast.

Liam avoided her and cursed inwardly. He grabbed his mobile phone to call Lana.

But before he could place his call the light suddenly went off and just a dim light was put on. The soft music started playing in the hall, encouraging the guests to go over the dance floor in the center.

The music was very beautiful, played live by a very well-known orchestra group that only elite affluent families could afford to hire. Rio did not want to miss this chance of impressing Liam.

"Let's dance Liam…" Liam heard Miss Tang mutter and before he could turn down her offer, the woman held him by his arm and pulled him on the center stage for a dance.

"This is just a small dance, Liam. Why are you so upset? Please, can you stop frowning? Look around there are so many eyes on us and with these expressions of yours the crowd can get a terrible impression?"

Miss Tang encouraged him for a dance and guided Liam's hands to her waist. She kept her hands on his shoulders as she swayed to the music, making sure Liam could not escape from her.

Liam frowned and cursed inwardly at the same time. He was feeling very suffocated with the way she was behaving and he wished to flick her away from himself but did not want to look harsh by jolting the woman away rudely in front of him.

He wondered what happened with Lana.

'Where the hell had his bad luck hunter vanished, that too when he needed her the most?' Liam mused with his eyes scanning the entire area searching for her while Ms. Tang didn't leave him for a single second. She made him dance and sway at the center with the other guests.

Liam felt the perfume that Rio Tang had applied infiltrate his nostrils. He felt nauseous with the overwhelming smell and suddenly was reminded of the enchanting smell of Lana. He flicked his head, realising where his thoughts were heading to.

His eyes strayed towards the entrance of the hall again and he froze as his gaze landed on a handsome man accompanying a gorgeous woman, standing on the main door.

Liam could never have imagined seeing such a gorgeous-looking Lana in such a revealing gown that showed off her curves beautifully, not to mention her long s.e.xy legs.

He had to keep his jaw from dropping and tightened his mouth from drooling seeing Lana in her s.e.xy avatar. With all his attention fixed on her, Liam almost forgot to even blink his eyes. He stood stunned and admiration was plastered all over his face.

Rio saw Liam completely stiff and frozen in his place. She looked in the same direction where his eyes stared and her jaw dropped at the scene she saw. She clenched her fist and gnashed her teeth in irritation.

'What the hell is that b*tch doing here? Where did she even get that gown from!' She wanted to run to her, pull her hair off, scrap her makeup and tear that sparkling gown apart.

'Trying to seduce my man with that getup. Just how many guts does she have?'

Meanwhile, Liam's face suddenly darkened seeing the man behind Lana grab her wrist. His eyes exuded a coldness that could be seen even from far from where Lana stood with that man. He immediately stopped dancing and strode towards them.

...

Rio panicked when Liam abruptly retrieved his arms on her waist and walked towards Lana's direction, looking concerned.

'He left me behind for that b*tch?!' Rio inwardly snarled as her face reddened with anger mixed with embarrassment.

She even saw people looking at her with mockery. She felt humiliated and before she could think how to salvage the situation, Mr. Ming was gentleman enough to come to her aid and ask, "How about a dance with this old man from our sensational star?"

Rio managed an embarrassed smile and gladly accepted the old man's offer. But at the back of her mind, she started weaving a net to trap Lana and soon had another plan to ruin that nobody intern she hated the most.

Rio had decided that she would not let this evening pass without that b*tch Lana getting severe damage for the humiliation she had to receive in public because of her.

Meanwhile, Lana felt a grip on her wrist and was surprised to see that Noah had held it. He gently asked, "Please keep the dress but instead do you think I can have a dance with you? I like this piece of music very much."

Lana chuckled. Noah seemed to be a friendly and a nice person, just like his sister Brione. Someone with whom you could easily get comfortable with.

She looked at Noah's hand gripping her wrist and said "You're quite bold Mr. Yu, but you see I'm here with my boyfriend, and he is very possessive about me as well, so I think having a dance with you is not a good idea at all."

"Hmm, I can see why… I bet he sure is possessive. And the boyfriend you're talking about is probably that man rushing speedily towards us. I am pretty sure he wants to kill me now." Noah muttered with a lopsided grin on his mouth.

Lana followed Noah's eyes and saw Liam rushing towards them with his morose face, exuding anger and frustration.

Liam reached to them and immediately grabbed her other wrist and fixed his eyes on Noah, trying to intimidate him with his piercing gaze while Noah stood as he was still holding Lana's other wrist.

Lana looked at the two men, each holding her wrist aghast at the way they both exerted pressure on her hands. Before she could open her mouth to say a single word to any of them, Liam looked at her with a sharp gaze making her forget her words completely.

"Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!" Liam snarled at Lana.

Lana again opened her mouth to try to tell him all that happened, but before she could speak she was again left speechless with a mocking laugh from Noah as he commented, "Hmm I think, looking all over seems too exaggerated coming from your mouth, when you were thoroughly enjoying yourself on the dance floor with a beautiful celebrity in your arms."
