The Law of Attraction
Chapter 43: Grumpy

At Sy Building

Liam tramped back in the office with a very dark face and his aura was enough to frighten Mian and Dona who didn't want to even step inside his cabin for signing of important doc.u.ments.

They saw Jorge step in and felt relieved as they immediately asked him to help out with the papers. He frowned when he found out about the foul mood of Liam and took the papers from Mian to saunter in Liam's office.

"What happened to you?" Jorge asked with his knitted brows as he approached Liam's table and sat down on a chair in front of him. He was aware about Liam's visit to Lana's place, but he was trying to be less obvious as a nosy body or else his spy would be digged out soon.

He was already upset for not getting any newsworthy info from the party last night, but this morning Liam seemed to be in a good mood so something must have happened for his mood to change so soon in the afternoon after visiting Lana?

His mobile phone beeped, and it was Andrew's message.

[There's another man who arrived at Miss Lana's house too after we reached there. A handsome macho man.]

Jorge suddenly giggled.

"What's so funny Jorge?" Liam exclaimed.

"Oh, nothing… Just a friend of mine sent this funny thing. Anyway, how's Lana? Did you remind her about tomorrow?" Jorge nonchalantly commented.

"Not yet. You remind her about tomorrow, Jorge. I have already reminded her enough and now I'm in no mood to repeat myself to her all over again!" Liam hissed.

"Why are you so grumpy? Did anything happen that spoiled your mood?" Jorge naively asked.

Liam''s brows raised, he looked at Jorge and scorned, "It's like you know nothing. Oh, please…"

Jorge gulped and twitched his mouth. He looked askance and just as he raided his brain in trying to get something to reply Liam, his phone rang and his entire demeanor changed when he saw the name flashing on his screen.

He immediately received the call and in a solemn voice answered it without taking another breath.

"Calm down. Where are you now? I'll be there…" he beamed and rushed out of the office without even looking back at Liam and trying to reply to him or tease him.

Liam shook his head, seeing him hurrying up like that. There was only one person who could make Jorge run like that in a flash without even telling him where to go.

He emitted a long sigh as he went through a file on his laptop. It was the testimony of Gilbert's butler regarding Gale's case.

"Tsk!" Liam grunted in a rasping tone before folding his laptop. He could not concentrate on his work at all, and all that occupied him was the trip to Lana's house .

"Boyfriend?" he echoed.

When Lana left for the kitchen to bring the snacks, Liam felt as if Clyde's eyes were crawling on his body and scanning him closely. That man was obviously inspecting him in detail and checking him out. He hated being eyed by him so weirdly the whole time.

"How come any man can just go in and out of her house? And does she not feel creepy when he eyes her like that?" he irritably added.

....

Meanwhile, back in Lana's house…

Clyde coughed several times and Lana stroked his back.

"What's going on? Do you want water?" Lana asked.

"No… Maybe someone just thought badly about me or cursed me. That must be Liam, perhaps." Clyde answered with a twitched face.

Lana laughed and asked, "Stop sulking now. In fact, he is quite a likable person, I should say, and if you meet him again a few times you will surely like him. I am sure there must have been some kind of emergency for him to leave like that in a haste."

"Why do you keep pairing me with that man? You're not even sure if he's really a homo. He could be a bis.e.x.u.a.l or even a straight man for all we know! His being gay could also be a false and groundless rumor as to what most of the famous personalities usually face, especially him for not having any female counterpart with him."

"Maybe he's just not into women because of a trauma like you? Or maybe he is among the men who prioritize their career over love-life or women?" Clyde hypothesized in a serious tone."

He was aware of Lana's end of story and knew why she did not trust any man at all. He was aware why in her eyes relationship with a man was trash and why she kept all men on the same pedestal. She thought all of them were good to women at first, but eventually their true colors would be revealed.

All men were basically the same in their true form… wicked... who would hurt a woman's heart endlessly.

Lana was no doubt a brave woman, but she was not prepared to open her heart after all that she had seen in her life. She was afraid of getting hurt. As a result, she would always end up hurting men rather than waiting to get hurt by them.

Clyde had witnessed that many times. Men tried to take advantage of her or lure her in a brief term relationship for fun. Well, it would not be exaggerating to say that those men were lucky who were shut down by Lana even before they could get near her.

This Liam, he wondered… He was lucky to be able to approach Lana, as she initially thought of him as a homo because Liam had no traits or vibes of that kind at all, Clyde thought.
