The Law of Attraction

Chapter 4: Expect A Notice

Back to the present…

Liam was dragged out from the restaurant by that bold woman who dared to kiss him in the public. He cursed at himself at the thought that he just indulged in a public display of affection with a total stranger.

'And why the heck are we running? Are we being chased?' he mused as he stared as his hand held tightly by the woman while they galloped.

The woman stopped in front of a car and said, "Get inside the car quickly!" He saw her rushed at the driver seat.

"What the?" he mumbled but paused when the car window opened and he heard her annoyingly instruct him, "I said get in or you'll get into trouble!"

Hearing the word 'trouble', Liam quickly jumped inside the car. Trouble was the last thing he wanted an encounter with.

There was a moment of silence as Lana started the engine and stepped on the gas to hit the road. Lana sighed, eyes still focussed on the road she said, "I'm really sorry about all that. It's embarrassing I know, but I needed an escape route… By the way can I drop you somewhere?"

She heard no response, Lana looked in the rearview mirror and when she confirmed that they were not being tailed, she stopped the car at the right side of the road.

She turned her head in the direction of the man who was also looking at her with his blank expressionless face. "Can I drop you somewhere?" Lana asked. Liam's eyebrows knitted as he casually asked, "What's your name?"

Lana, immediately answered, "Lana Huang… Again I'm really sorry… As I've said, I will compensate y…"

"No need," the man cut her off and opened the door to get out of the car. Lana blinked and looked at him in awe. "That's way too easy…" she muttered as she started the engine, grateful that the stranger she kissed seemed to be a not complicated person. She was lucky indeed.

She was about to step on the gas to hit back on the road when she heard knocking. It was the man who signaled her to open the window, so Lana opened her window.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Miss Lana Huang… Expect a notice of harassment on your doorway soon…" The man simply stated before leaving Lana with mouth agape.

"What? Harassment? Me? I harassed him?" Lana muttered. She snapped out of realization and quickly went out of her car to look for the man and talk about it but the stranger was no longer to be seen anywhere.

"Where did he suddenly go?!" she mumbled as she looked around. She helplessly scratched her head. She shouldn't have told him her full name. But then it was true that what she did could be filed as a form of harassment.

She looked at her wrist watch and sighed. She had an appointment in two hours at Sy Law Firm and her stomach was already grumbling. Lana decided to have a quick lunch first at a nearby restaurant at Sy Law Firm because she did not even get the chance to eat while her mother and Old Madam Liu were talking.

She twisted her mouth seeing there were numerous missed calls from her mother. "Ahhh…" she grumbled before drinking her fresh juice. There were plenty of messages too and she could tell beforehand what those messages were saying.

This was such a disastrous day for her, not to mention the kissing incident with a stranger. She read Jeru's message first who was thanking her for everything. Lana pursed her lips and typed her reply saying, 'No problem. I've done my part so make sure your terrible grandmother will never disturb my mom again. Also, don't you dare mention today's incident to them, you know, especially to Keira or else I will kill you Jeru!'

'Them' referred to her closests friends since childhood, Keira, May and Drey - her besties who were also an acquaintance and friends with Jeru. Because if anyone of her besties found out what she did, she would be absolutely roasted by their non stop teasing and making fun.

She contemplated whether to open even one message from her mother. In the end, Lana opened up all the messages. Her face grumped because she could almost imagine her mother's prim and proper voice while making her feel guilty with her good choices of words. Obviously, she was scolding her hard but with a twist.

"Why can't she just be loud at me or curse me?" she complained because that would be better than a scolding with poise, words full of wisdom that were akin to arrows shot to pierce your heart.

Lana looked at her wrist watch. She still had a little more time in her hands. She smiled as excitement ran through her body while she stared through the transparent wall from the restaurant she was killing time at.

On the opposite side of the road she could clearly see the Sy Law Firm building standing high and tall, so mighty like the lawyers who represented the firm. She was going to do her internship there. Today she had a schedule for physical appearance for a small introduction and briefing. She might probably start by tomorrow.

Her attention was suddenly drawn towards the ad posted outside the building.

"Wait…" Her eyes rounded as she realized something. She focussed her eyes on the picture of the man in the ad and felt like her brain would explode. The man in the ad looked a lot like that stranger. No… he looked exactly like that stranger…

'Was that Liam Sy? No wonder he looked familiar when he entered the restaurant.' she mused in disbelief.

"For real?" she unknowingly burst out. Did she kiss 'the' Liam Sy? Was that really Liam Sy whom she grabbed and had her way with?

Lana's heart started palpitating fast and she became nervous, she hoped that she was wrong or the man she kissed was just a look alike of Liam Sy, but then after a careful thought… There was this 99.9 percent chance that the stranger she kissed was really Liam Sy.

'What did you just do Lana?' she chided herself.

Lana abruptly brushed her face. It was a good thing she had not applied any makeup to get smeared with her palm.

'Will she be doomed that easily?' Lana calmed herself and immediately started thinking rationally. She should prepare herself, if worse comes to worst… She must keep her chin up as she always does…

'A notice of harassment?' Is he kidding me? After he enjoyed and dominated that kiss? She should be the one to send him that notice of harassment!
