The Law of Attraction

Liam pressed the button and answered, "Let Gracy in my office Dona. Thanks."

"Come to me after a minute and bring a few more files with you…" Liam instructed Lana before going out of her room.

Lana absentmindedly stared at the door where Liam left. She opened her blinds and saw Gracy. The woman walked up to Liam and immediately hugged him intimately as soon as she entered. She even kissed Liam on the cheek.

Lana's eyebrows raised. She was aware of such kind of casual greetings in other countries, like cheek to cheek kisses or kissing of cheeks of a close acquaintance, so it was not a big deal. But what made her heart flinch and eyebrows raise was Gracy's sharp eyes and piercing gaze directed towards her spot.

Lana exhaled loudly before collecting the files that Liam requested. She wondered if she would encounter another bitchiness battle once again. She rolled her eyes at the helpless thought of what would come her way. 

'Maybe it was all a part of getting trained under the mighty attorney Mr. Liam Sy?' she sarcastically thought since the bitchiness battle would sometimes take a lot of energy and patience the same as inside the courtroom. She should stay composed and keep calm as much as possible.

Lana stood up and slowly walked out from her room towards Liam.

Gracy moved her neck towards her direction and went up to her with a faint smile on her face, and Liam smiled looking at Gracy's gesture.

"Gracy, I haven't properly introduced you to Lana." Lana heard Liam speak.

He looked at her and signaled Lana to join him on the couch, so Lana sat beside Liam.

"She must be Lana?" Gracy began to speak with a wide smile on her face. She extended her hand to Lana and said, "Oh, I heard about her from Miley and uncle. She's your girlfriend, right? Nice to meet you, Lana."

Lana was utterly surprised with the awkward warm greeting extended by Gracy. She accepted Gracy's hand and smiled back. She could not help but wonder if behind those beautiful smiles, Gracy was cursing her to the core?

"Nice to meet you too." Lana whispered. Gracy was indeed pretty well-mannered and composed compared to Rio Tang. But, some people were actually good at masking their behaviour so Lana could not help but subtly check Gracy, trying to get a hint if she was trying to get close to Liam and what Liam suspected was right or not. 

"I'm really excited about venturing into a fresh path and to continue my father's legacy, so I'm looking forward to working with you both." Gracy casually stated with her poised and sweet smile.

Gracy seemed to be entirely opposite of what Rio Tang was, so composed and accepting of Liam's relationship that even Lana for once thought Liam probably was just overthinking things. While they all sat there and Lana was trying to read Gracy's mind, Dona entered the office and served them all some tea.

"Thanks," Lana whispered at Dona, who answered her with a wink. She unconsciously turned her head to Gracy, who she caught looking intently at her. Gracy gave her a nice smile. Lana answered her back with the same smile but felt a little weird with the looks she was giving.

Gracy then had a casual conversation both with Liam and Lana.

"You two must be busy. I had taken quite some time of your's, I just wanted to visit Liam's office and see how good it is and meet Lana as well since I haven't greeted her properly in the hospital. I will now go back and train with Jorge, who must be waiting for me," Gracy said next. 

"You will be in good hands, Gracy. Jorge plays a key role in our firm and I am going to nominate him as the COO in the board meeting because he deserves that position after your father." Liam informed her, taking a sip from his cup, with a serious face. Gracy's father was the Vice Chairman and COO since he was also elected COO. 

But now that he was deceased, the COO position was vacant until the board of members elected a more capable person for the job.

Gracy nodded in understanding. Then she put the cup on the table and looked at Liam, "I heard you are very busy recently, but I hope you can personally train me whenever you have some free time."

Then she gave Lana her sweetest smile before saying, "I hope you won't mind Lana. Promise I will not take too much of Liam's time."

*Dang

Lana saw the alert popping in her head and looked at Liam, who gave her an expression of, "I told you."

Gracy even winked at Lana…

'At least Gracy smiled and asked for permission before attacking,' Lana wanted to voice out, recalling how Rio Tang gave her a headache by her attitude, acting like she owned Liam.

Lana shrugged her shoulders. She felt like she was on a rollercoaster ride every time she became kind of a shield for Liam to protect him from unconventional kinds of women. 

First Rio Tang who was so loud and unethical and now Gracy who was so composed, but as a woman Lana somehow could feel how Gracy's eyes were looking at Liam with an undeniable longing.

Lana crossed her legs and replied, "Hmm, I really don't mind Gracy as long as it does not interfere with Liam's time with me. You see, he is really quite busy but don't worry whenever he is free, I will be the one to push him to your office and see how you are doing." 

"To be honest, you don't have to ask me Gracy since I rarely interfere in Liam's business when it's all about work. I just bug him on personal things." Lana added.

Gracy nodded and soon bade her farewell to the two.

"I think you can manage Gracy alone. Just tell her straight to her face that you no longer like her." Lana mumbled, crossing her arms together as soon as Gracy left them.

Liam chuckled, hearing that. "She hasn't said a thing or done anything yet for me to say that to her Lana. It will be too harsh and rude when the woman is acting properly, don't you think? Besides, as you said, I might probably be just overthinking things."

"But, to tackle her type… I think living with me, shifting to my house is not needed." Lana whispered, trying to convince Liam to cancel his first wish somehow.

She heard Liam heaved a long deep sigh before looking straight into her eyes and plainly said, "Prevention is better than cure Lana. haven't you heard this? Go back to your room now and write your rules, if there should be any. "

Lana stood up and stomped her feet as she walked back inside her room.

Liam finally could grin as soon as Lana left.
