The Law of Attraction

Sarah opened her eyes and she suddenly felt a wave of pain inside her head. She had a very low tolerance for alcohol and it was not advisable for her to drink so much. She was not sure if she could ever act sane after getting drunk.

"Oh shi*t!" she cursed loudly as her fingers crawled in her hair and massaged her head. Her eyes were still closed and she did not want to open them yet.

She yawned and was about to go back to sleep when she heard a man cough behind her.

Her eyes snapped open, she turned around, and suddenly screamed in terror, "Ahhhh!"

Kyle's face twitched as he hissed, "Hey, stop screaming!!… Now, that you're awake I shall take my leave."

He was drinking his coffee when the woman woke up and he almost choked watching her wake up so abruptly but he did not expect her to scream so loudly like that. Good thing the hotel room was soundproof.

He put his cup of coffee on the table and stood up from the couch to leave.

"Stop!" Sarah exclaimed, realizing the situation.

Kyle turned and looked at her.

"What happened? What's going on? Why am I in this?" she asked in a row, after noticing that she was wearing a nightgown.

"Oh my God! Tell me what you did to me?! Did you take advantage of me?" She burst out in horror.

"Don't you dare move!" she hissed as she looked for her mobile phone.

"Your purse is over there," Kyle nonchalantly informed her, pointing to the table where her purse was kept, as he went back to his seat.

He watched Sarah run for it. He chuckled, amused with her frightening movement.

"If I was a bad guy, do you think I would still stay here like this? This is what happens when you drink over your limit," he commented and grabbed his cup back to finish his coffee.

"You were so drunk last night that you tried to bully Lana by spilling wine over her. Good thing I saw it coming, so you ended up spilling it all over me and yourself. After that, you passed out while confronting me for saving Lana. I then brought you here and called for a doctor to make sure you're fine.

Apparently, you threw up after the doctor left, so I had to ask for a female helper in the room service to help you change, and then I transferred you to another room. So now... tell me how will you compensate me for all the trouble you caused me?" Kyle uttered with a serious tone.

Sarah helplessly sat on the bed as everything replayed inside her head. Everything that happened flashed back and her face reddened in embarrassment.

"I guess you're now recalling what you did last night?" Kyle mumbled.

Yeah, she did. She wanted to spill those glasses on Lana, but that was just the drunk version of her acting inside her head. She had no intention of doing that at all. She wanted to grab two glasses to offer one glass to Lana and just exchange some words with her to annoy her since she wasn't with Liam.

Sarah knew she could be a bi*ch sometimes but it was mostly only with sharp words. She did have a sharp tongue and did not mind what others would feel as long as she expressed herself, but she knew it was not the time to harm people by making harsh moves like spilling wine on Lana.

Believe it or not, she tripped on herself when she was almost near Lana. It was because she was drunk and was walking in her heels so she was not very stable at that time.

'How dare this man accuse her?' she thought with a crumpled face.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I will make sure to return the favor, sir," Sarah nonchalantly commented like she was having a casual conversation with a client.

She opened her purse and grabbed one of her calling cards. She stood up and handed one to Kyle.

Kyle looked at it and read it out aloud, "Attorney Sarah Jung. I see you're working at Liam's firm. Hmm… I bet you are also among the ones with unrequited feelings for him, witnessing how you wanted to harm Lana…"

"I beg your pardon?!" Sarah yelled.

"Who's harming who? That's an accusation that I will not let you pass like that! I tripped okay!! Believe it or not… I tripped!" she yelled with snapped eyebrows, making Kyle laugh.

"Alright… No need to kill me with that look of yours. As you said… I will believe what I want to and I believe that you're a woman who hates Lana and is waiting for an opportunity to push her away from Liam's side.

You see… We actually have the same sentiments, with your feelings for Liam and mine for Lana…." Kyle reiterated with a smirk.

His guess was right. Sarah never corrected the fact about her feelings towards Liam. He was at least sure of it.

"How about we help each other out since both of us definitely do not like each other and you also owe me a favor…" Kyle then added with a serious tone.

Sarah's eyebrows lifted up and said, "I want to hear everything first before deciding if I can help you out or not…"

Kyle chuckled and said, "How about you get dressed first huh? I bought a dress for you, Change into it."

Sarah stood up and grabbed the paper bag he pointed to at the bedside table. She was confused by the sudden change in his attitude.

'I forgot to even ask his name' she mumbled. He was a stranger but she felt that she could trust him since he did not take advantage of her last night.

She immediately went inside the bathroom and locked it. There, she inspected her body and let out a sigh of relief as everything seemed normal.

'I should not drink so much next time…' she scolded herself and quickly went under the shower.

Kyle heaved a long sigh as he waited on the couch. His mobile phone rang and he answered, "Yes, I'll be right there shortly. I'm just waiting for her to get ready. She just woke up. I will introduce her to you. Don't worry…"
