The Law of Attraction
Chapter 74: Sentence For No Reason

Inside his office, Liam closed his eyes and all he could think of was about Lana. He didn't know when it started, but he liked Lana. Probably it began from the day she showed up in his company after the scene at the restaurant. He felt magnetically attracted towards her body fragrance and within a day or two was charmed by her looks, attitude and confidence.

His resolve of keeping away from women started breaking when Lana kissed him so openly several times. To his surprise, he always enjoyed being kissed by her, not to mention how possessive he seemed to become for her.

He felt lonely when she was not around and complete when she looked at him with love…

'Fake love!' his inner self corrected, but a look like that made him feel complete.

With eyes still closed, Liam thought deeply and analysed the situation in hand. He knew his heart had beat for this strange, cold and beautiful woman, Lana. He would never let her go away from him.

He once allowed Gale to leave him and live her life. He suffered a lot because of that, but he knew this time it was not as it was like with Gale. He felt a different kind of bond with Lana and whatever might happen he could not let her go away from him, in any condition.

He inhaled deeply as all those thoughts came into his mind and he knew he could no longer wait. He should convince her to stay in the Sy Law firm, so instead of going home he drove directly to Lana's place.

Her car was not there yet, so he presumed that Lana was still not home. He got out of his car and strolled towards the door, remembering how she stumbled that night when they returned from his mansion. He smiled at the thought that he could enter Lana's house anytime he wanted since he knew her password.

He unconsciously chuckled as he slightly swayed the bench. He recalled Lana's drunken state when she voiced out the password of her door in his face and asked him to not peep at her while typing it.

"She's so funny," he whispered. He had a careful thought about things the whole day and considered Jorge's suggestion to talk to Lana and make a more convincing offer to make her stay with him.

He heaved a long sigh. Clyde also advised him to take things slow with Lana. He told him that he should not mention how much he likes Lana because of higher chances that Lana would flee away if she received any clear hint about it.

"Such an awkward situation…" Liam mumbled. Most women would love to hear a rich, handsome and loyal man to praise her and even confess how they liked them, but with Lana, you should do the opposite to get near her and not make her run away.

He noticed how comfortable Lana was with him. He didn't want her to feel very odd in the current situation and so he took a decision that would be good for him and would keep her close to him.

Liam soon saw Lana's car coming. He immediately composed himself seeing Lana's car stopped in her parking space.

Liam gulped, feeling nervous for the first time in his life. His heart raced, and he even felt cold sweat in his palms.

'Why does it feel like I am soon to receive a sentence for no reason?'

He stood up when Lana stopped in her tracks seeing him.

"Can we talk?" he asked, in a deep straight voice, hoping Lana to think and act rationally at that point.

"Follow me." Lana whispered, so he did. She pressed her thumb on the biometrics and the door opened.

"Please sit. Would you like some soda? Coffee or tea?" Lana casually asked.

Liam gulped, feeling a gush of icy breeze passing through his body. It was probably Lana's cold aura that made him feel that way.

"Coffee please," Liam whispered. He needed something hot. Lana nodded and went into her kitchen.

In the kitchen, Lana bit her lips while she made the coffee. It was difficult for her to stay with such poker faced in front of Liam. Frankly, she was mad at him, but she also knew he was not at fault anywhere. She was the one who started everything and then gradually fell in this total mess.

"It all feels so weird," she breathed.

After some time, Lana arrived in the sitting area with the coffee and served it on the table before sitting opposite Liam.

"To be honest, I was worried about you after seeing your expressions this morning in the cafe. Then Clyde explained everything about your thoughts regarding my… uhmm my s.e.x.u.a.l preference... Lana, I am here right now because I want to clear things out with you.

Look, I don't know what gave you the impression that I'm a gay, but I remember nothing that I said or did to give you any such hint. So I don't want you to take it all as if I have done anything intentionally." Liam started.

Lana heard his words. She gulped down her saliva and heaved a long sigh. She knew he was not at fault at all… but she still felt hurt and annoyed. She didn't know the reason why though.

Then she bluntly declared, "I hate men Liam."

He heard her blunt and cold words. And though he knew something of this sort would come out of her mouth, he still felt a little hurt in his heart.

"Do you hate me?" Liam directly questioned her and Lana was caught off guard with that question of his. She held her breath when he heard him and didn't know how and what to answer. She looked down and her eyes wavered and looked slightly askew.

"Lana, my question is very simple. It's only answerable by a simple yes or a no." Liam nonchalantly reiterated.

"Do you hate me Lana?" Liam asked her once again more.
