The Law of Attraction

Chapter 30: Small Sweat Drops

Lana stood up when Liam dismissed her from work and stretched her arms as she felt stiff after a few hours of continuous sitting. She knew he spared her early to prepare and change into a formal wear.

She then bent a little and stretched her back. Liam's gaze unconsciously landed on her and his jaw dropped when he caught sight of her cleavage. He quickly averted his eyes from there and dropped his stare on the file in his hand.

"Don't you feel stiff after sitting that long and working continuously?" Lana commented while she slightly patted her waist from the back. Liam only answered her with an expressionless, fleeting glance. His mind was occupied with what he just saw and speaking even a single word could expose him, so he stayed quiet.

'I bet he didn't since he seems to be a stone idol in himself.' Lana voiced to herself.

"Lana, you will need a good formal dress for tonight. Are you sure you have it here or shall I ask Jorge to send you home first?" Liam asked her instead. He almost forgot about that party that Jorge also reminded him about yesterday, but he failed to inform Lana beforehand.

Liam cursed for being too distracted lately. It was not so him...

Lana paused for a while recalling her formal evening dresses that she had in the office and said, "Hmm, I think what I have here is good enough. Besides, we will be late if we stop by my house. My only problem is hair and makeup because I hate doing it myself."

"That's okay, you don't need any makeup at all. You already have flawless skin and even your hair is good the way it is, just let it remain open and flow freely." Liam nonchalantly commented.

Liam's selection of words for praising her totally shocked Lana. She raised her eyebrows, wondering if she should take it as a compliment or did he just say it all to comfort her!

She shook her head to flick off the thoughts raining her mind and headed towards her room. Once inside, she started to check the gowns she had and prepared to change in one of the gowns.

As soon as Lana left Liam also got up and rushed into his private room because his suit was there, and he would also change.

He opened his cupboard, grabbed a party suit and quickly put it on himself. He turned to look at himself in the mirror, but he froze on his spot. His eyes bulged out from his sockets. Never in his dreams had he thought such a day could come. His entire body reacted, and he felt heat build up in himself that he inadvertently gulped. On the other side of the glass Lana stood facing him with nothing on her body but just a single piece of cloth, her underwear. Her attention was fixed on the two gowns she had to choose between, one on her left and the other on right.

Liam gulped. He was in awe of the art of the sculptors who perfectly carved that beautiful body, as he couldn't find a single fault in the shape and proportion of her body. Her beautiful long legs, her slender arms and her slim waist and her full breasts. Everything was enough to make anyone go mad. This image of Lana's body got vividly imprinted in his pictographic memory.

"Sexy, that is the only word for her." Liam found himself speaking such dirty words and suddenly snapped out. He wasted no time in dashing out from his private room to Jorge's office with a red face and dark aura.

"What the hell, Jorge! Haven't I told you to inform Lana about the freaking one way glass and do something about it!" Liam yelled so badly at Jorge that the latter almost jumped out of his seat in panic.

Jorge looked at Liam, grasping what he just said. Jorge scratched his head and muttered, "I'm scared to tell her about it, Liam. Didn't you know how well she did in the military. Darn, she's even better than me in fighting and trust me I don't want to die yet, Liam. Wait, but why are you so worked up? I have already ordered a special blind so you can just cover that glass with it…"

"Are you okay?" Jorge softly asked, seeing Liam was quite restless and was adjusting his necktie to loosen it a bit. "What happened Liam, why are you sweating when it's cold here?" Jorge asked next, seeing the small sweat drops forming on Liam's forehead.

Liam ignored him and clenched his jaw, while abruptly getting a tissue from Jorge's table to wipe the sweat from his temples. Jorge's eyes narrowed, looking at Liam from head to toe and seeing his shaking eyes. Then his mouth quirked up as a thought formed in his head.

"No way!" Jorge suddenly burst. "Did you see something you must not have seen? Tell me, tell me what did you see!!"

Liam was dumbfounded with the sudden questioning of Jeorge and he was just left speechless. Such a state made Jeorge smile ear to ear and he understood what Liam was not able to say.

Jorge rushed towards Liam's office to confirm his suspicion and pursed his lips when he saw Lana walking out from her room, wearing a gown.

"I wonder if this one will do?" Lana mumbled before tilting her head up and saw Jorge instead of Liam.

"Oh Jorge. You're here. Please help me in deciding. I have two gowns, but I can't decide which one to wear. The other one is more simple. I wonder if this one will be good to go to that party?" Lana asked Jorge instead with her hands on her waist. She had brought nothing very eye-catching but just a few with plain designs that she was comfortable wearing. The gown she wore was a princess one-shoulder bow, short-sleeved, A-line ivory evening dress.

Liam tried to compose himself and calm down his hot nerves. He didn't know he could ever have such a reaction because of a woman's body. He was really shocked. He felt things he had never felt for any of those women who were always ready to throw themselves on him.

He took a few deep breaths and tidied himself and ran back to his office to check on that Jorge before he spewed some nonsense in front of Lana.

Back in Liam's office, Lana's brows knitted when she saw Jorge grin mischievously. "What? Bad? Not good enough for the party?"
