The Law of Attraction

Lana woke up after around an hour and saw Liam staring at her lying down beside her.

"How long did I sleep? Why didn't you wake me up?" She commented followed by a yawn then she stretched her arms up. She felt so good after all those ther.a.p.eutic and relaxing sessions.

"You were in deep slumber besides you deserved a lot of rest after such a hectic schedule of more than a month. Destressing is also important. It's almost dinner time now. Let's eat dinner here in their restaurant. I will introduce you to my cousins today." Liam commented and gave her a peck on her lips before he hurriedly got up.

"Go dress up fast. Your wardrobes are inside. I will go down first to receive them and have a little bit of talks with them." Liam said and Lana nodded with a sweet smile. As soon as Liam left Lana rose up from the bed and got ready. She wondered who those cousins Liam just mentioned, then she recalled that Liam once mentioned to her he was particularly close with the Kens.

She dressed up and put on some light makeup before going down. She saw Liam sitting in front of two more men. He saw her coming and waved his hand to her with his bright smile and Lana walked towards him.

Liam introduced her to the two men and Lana accepted their hands for greeting.

"Finally… We got to meet the woman who is capable enough to change our stone statue like cousin into a possessive lover boy." she heard Ryu Ken comment. His eyes directed to Liam and his lips had a teasing grin.

Lana on the other hand unconsciously blushed hearing their comments, though it was Liam who was the center of their teasing. She had a great time talking with Liam's cousins because they were someone she felt really comfortable with.

"Next time bring Lana to my island and spend a good time with her there." Ryu suggested.

"Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. After we settle everything with Shawn, then I will spare time for that." Liam commented. There were a lot of things to do first before he could finally relax and leave with Lana for a peaceful trip.

They continued with bright conversation while having dinner. Ryu and Shawn could not help but keep sneaking meaningful glances at each other once in a while. Why? Because Liam was acting freaking hyper in showing his love for his wife. He was even feeding Lana himself at times, who was too fl.u.s.tered in embarrassment in front of them and even the hand… Ryu lost count how many times Liam held up and kissed Lana's hand.

"It would be nice if you would also bring your wives when we meet next time." Liam commented because the two wanted l to have a few drinks after dinner.

Lana laughed and said, "I'm good. I actually wanted to rest a little more. You spend more time with them and I will go first in our room."

Liam then suddenly kissed her first before letting her off. Ryu and Shawn looked at each other with raised brows. Ryu was the one who had the reaction of disbelief because he knew Liam since they were children. It was the first time he had seen him act that way.

"What?" Liam beamed, seeing those looks from Ryu.

"Man… I really can't believe it's really you I'm seeing with those public displays of affection. I mean, I never do a public display of affection and you? A man who hated women before is doing all those in front of us. I think it won't be a good idea to bring our wives to meet you like this even next time…" Ryu complained.

"Me too or else my wife will complain about how I am not so clingy or too sweet…" Shawn seconded. Liam only laughed at that. He felt like it was only Lana whom he saw wherever it was, and he did not care about his surroundings.

"You two stop complaining! When I didn't date and had a woman, you complained a lot… Now that I have someone… You still have a lot of complaints with me. How about we go and have a drink now and talk about the matters at hand?" Liam mumbled.

Lana was on her way to their room when a man who seemed to be in a rush bumped into her. He had files in his hands that spread down the floor.

"I'm sorry…" The man apologized and picked up the files on the ground.

Lana bent down and helped him when the files caught her intention.

"Are you somehow a paralegal?" she asked, eyes still fixed on the file. The man stopped what he was doing and said, "How did you know?"

Lana smiled and nuzzled her lips towards the file he was holding before saying, "I'm an aspiring lawyer so just by looking at these files I knew."

The man scratched his head and had that timid smile on his now blushing face.

"I'm Kyle…" the man bashfully introduced himself as he extended his hand. Lana accepted his hand and said, "I'm Lana Sy."

When Kyle already grabbed all the files he looked at Lana and said, "I'm sorry again. I'm just in a rush and thank you for helping me pick them up."

Lana smiled and nodded. Kyle then said farewell and turned around to rush inside the elevator. Lana too walked to their room with a smile as she thought she herself would need a paralegal once she started her own mini freelance firm.

She would love to get a reliable paralegal since she would definitely take a lot of challenging cases. Her first target was to do probono for those who could not achieve justice because of lack of money, most especially those who were victims of abuse.

She shook her head as she reached the door. She already had so many things on her mind when the result of the exam was not there yet.

Meanwhile, a smile still curved on Kyle's face while he was inside the elevator. But that smile faded when the elevator door opened and he saw a man who was about to enter as he was about to exit those doors.

Kyle walked out of the elevator with a clenched jaw and suddenly said, "Excuse me…"

The man halted from entering the elevator and looked at him with questioning eyes as if he was talking to him.

Kyle curved a poker smile on his lips before saying, "Sorry… I thought you were someone I knew…"
