The Law of Attraction
Chapter 82: Follow Her Around

Because of Mr. Go's funeral, Liam postponed all his schedules and kept himself free to manage everything. He also spent time with Gracy making sure he was present to support her and the rest of the family in all ways that he could. It was the only thing he could do to pay his tribute to the man who had a huge contribution in shaping his career and helping him rise to the pedestal where he was at the moment. "It must have been really hard for Gracy," Miley whispered while they were attending the funeral. "Yes, it was. I even lent my shoulders to her to cry for, while Liam was not around." Jorge commented, waiting for Mileys' reaction full of jealousy as before. "That's good then," came Miley's bitter comment. BAM!!???!!! Jorge fell from sky to the ground! 'What? No reaction? No jealousy on her face?' He was utterly disappointed. 'Maybe it's better to change my approach a little' Jorge thought "Miley stop it already please… It's uncomfortable." Jorge pleaded. He was going crazy by the way Miley had started avoiding him. How was he going to keep normal if Miley would continue to treat him differently than how she was treating him before. She was too cold towards him and was adamantly refusing his every invitation of going out together for a ride or dinner or anything, whereas before it was her who would always bug him to go to certain places and do a lot of things together. "If you continue ignoring me like this… I will get sick Miley. My heart is aching already." Jorge murmured next. Miley gulped while she tried to hide her giggling. She was squealing with joy inside, but then she should harden her heart and stay rigid on her stance. She must firmly ignore Jorge and show him that she was not affected by him at all. "So what can I do if you'll get sick like this? It's not my fault, right? Just take some medicine if you feel unwell. Moreover, I'm just doing what is best for me Jorge. You only said that you wanted us to remain as siblings, right? Then let me treat you like a brother now. You should be proud and relaxed that I'm no longer clingy. I have learnt to accept that you will not be man enough to muster the courage to reciprocate my love so what's the use of following you and not thinking about moving on.. Don't be selfish because I'm in the process of moving on…" Miley casually stated before standing up and walked beside Gracy to entertain some visitors. Jorge's shoulders dropped while he followed Miley's back from afar. He immediately thought about something and grabbed his mobile phone and typed a text message to Miley. [You wanted to go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park, right? Let's go this weekend. Only me and you. Tell me where else do you want to go and what else you want to do the whole day and I'll bring you there and we will both do things that you like. I'll accompany you. Let's have fun together like you used to say.] Miley's mobile phone vibrated in her pocket, so she picked it up and saw Jorge's message in her inbox. 'So that brute can accommodate when he wants to?' Miley mused with lifted brows. Her mouth twisted recalling how many times Jorge had turned her down whenever she would ask him out to places like those, saying those were places all for kids only and that they were already grown ups now. If they weren't at the funeral right now, Miley would have laughed like an evil madwoman reading that text from Jorge. It seemed like the tables had turned upside down completely. 'Should I give him a few more doses of his own bitter medicine for a while?' Miley mused and put her mobile phone back without replying to him as yet. She should later think for a better approach on Jorge's sudden pampering. Jorge gulped, seeing Miley had not yet responded to his text message. He was in his broken and shattered state when Gracy sat beside him. "Where's Liam?" she asked. "He was just here a while ago, maybe he had gone outside or is talking to some visitors?" Jorge commented. "What's your plan now going ahead?" Jorge asked, curious about how Gracy would plan her life at this point of life. "The shares that my dad held will be transferred to my name, right? To be honest, I'm planning to stay here for good, and I had been actually planning this from some time now. I even talked to dad about it a few days ago. He was very happy hearing it and was waiting for me to return finally. But then all this happened. Huh! Life is so unpredictable really, this tragedy was really unexpected and very sudden for me. I had already left a lot of important things and persons here Jorge and now I don't want to waste any more time and I wish to make up for all those times that I had lost." Gracy disclosed. Jorge felt something weird in her words. He wondered if Liam was one of those persons she just mentioned because he was aware how much Gracy actually liked Liam back then. However, she chose the glittering glamorous world that she had an offer from and left Liam to deal with himself. She had almost kept no contact with Liam and had not even shown any concern with his well being ever since... "By the way, I noticed a woman beside Liam when I arrived at the hospital…" Jorge heard Gracy sniffled. "Oh yeah, that's Lana, Liam's girlfriend." Jorge voiced out, looking intently at Gracy's beautiful face to see how she would react, but unfortunately, Gracy's face was unreadable, it had no traces of any emotion or discontent on her face. She simply nodded and suddenly stood up and excused herself to greet the other guests that were still arriving. 'Maybe, I'm just mistaken.' Jorge thought. But his brows knitted seeing Gracy walk towards their father who was talking to another group of visitors. 'I'm not mistaken.' Jorge mumbled next. 'Definitely not…' From a distance, Miley's face crunched seeing how Jorge was observing Gracy so intently. "What's with him now?" she irritatingly mumbled. Miley, at some point was jealous of Gracy because Jorge mentioned once how he admired Gracy's beauty and poise. He even committed the crime of comparing her with Gracy very often, saying she should act as elegantly as Gracy does and let the man follow her around, not her following the man. 'Yeah right… Let me then make you follow me this time round, and see then how successfully you'll be able to follow me around!' Miley inwardly beamed with that thought, feeling annoyed by his lingering gaze on Gracy. That moment she decided to let Jorge suffer more and see how much he was willing to follow her around, even if she ignored him. Meanwhile, Gracy was having a good conversation with Senior Sy. "It's been awhile uncle. I now plan to stay here for good so that I can visit you more often just like before." Gracy commented with her sweetest smile. "Sure, dear. You do know that our house is always open for you. It's really sad that Sean left us unexpectedly like this but don't worry, you still have us as your family… We will always take good care of you Gracy." Senior Sy genuinely commented. Gracy was like a daughter to him since he had a good connection and relationship with her father Sean, who was also like a brother to him. "Thank you, uncle. I'm sure dad will be at peace wherever he is right now knowing I have the Sys around me," Gracy remarked with a beautiful, grateful smile.
