The Law of Attraction

Chapter 73: Can We Tallk?

Lana left the Zhao group building after wrapping up a few more matters at her disposal. When she sat down in the cab and remembered the white face of Rio Tang when she came to know her real identity, she chuckled slightly. She actually felt relieved after dealing with Rio Tang.

She was now on her way to pick up her car. Later she had plans to meet Brione and return her gown. She had a long day ahead, but nothing was going to be more exhausting than to deal with Liam later.

Lana was shocked in the morning after she heard Liam. Ever since he inadvertently came many times in her thoughts and she was still unsure of her next step. There was surely something she could not put her finger on, and she knew she must figure things out clearly before taking any decisions.

Her fear of relationships were so deeply scorned that she had even started to run away from simple friendships, a little too much for a careerist woman to do. She knew she must fight with herself to come out of such darkness...

She reached the garage, received her car before lunch and drove directly to the restaurant where she was about to meet Brione.

The waitress greeted her and asked for her reservation, and Lana mentioned Brione's name.

"This way ma'am," the waitress said and guided her into a private room. The waitress opened the sliding door and Lana entered.

"You're here!" Brione excitedly burst and ran towards Lana for a cheek to cheek kiss. She was so cheerful that Lana could not help but get infected by the sweetness, so she reciprocated by giving her the sweetest and warm smile.

"Come, let's eat." Brione muttered and pulled Lana's hand to make her sit on a chair beside her. Lana was startled to see Noah also sitting there as well, casually sipping his tea.

"Oh, don't mind my brother. I pulled him here with me. I hope you don't mind?" Brione excused with an apologetic look.

"Hey, don't make it sound like I'm such a pain in the ass by being here. Of course, Lana won't mind since I have not offended her so far or anything. Besides, this will be my treat today for bumping into her car." Noah defended his presence with rounded eyes shot at Brione to silence her from spurting out any more nonsense.

Lana chuckled, hearing that, and handed the paper bag she carried to Brione.

"Here. Sorry, it's a bit late… but I have to thank you for your help and lending me this beautiful gown that night." Lana muttered.

"Nah, it's my fault since I always have a busy schedule. Besides, why are you returning this to me? It's yours now. Big bro said it suits you better, so he gave me another one that will look more good on my assets." Brione countered and finally had Lana sit on her chair.

"I just wanted to see you to be honest and have a normal meal with you, like this." Brione added. Lana could see the sincerity in her eyes and she suddenly pitied her. It must be hard for a superstar like her to go out with friends because of her busy schedule and not to mention she would always get tailed by paparazzi.

"Don't get surprised if any minute now Brione will be dragged out from here by someone. I'm here to substitute her for lunch with you since she snuck out to meet you for lunch here while she was busy taping for a movie." Noah commented and shook his head, knowing his sister.

"Soon enough you will see one of her lackeys arriving here to get her…" Noah added. He was already used to his sister being dragged away either by her personal assistant or manager whenever with him.

Brione twitched her mouth and said, "Let's eat okay, before anyone arrives to disturb my meal. Sorry about this Lana, but Noah is right. I just sneaked out and asked big bro to drop me here. Then my best friend will pick me up to bring me back."

"You don't have to bother. I mean, your brother can also be the one to accompany you back and I can manage alone." Lana assured.

Noah's eyebrows knitted hearing that and commented, "I need to talk to you as well Lana that's why I agreed to pick up Brione and join her here today knowing it's you she was to meet."

"Huh?" Lana breathed, confused. Brione crumpled her face and complained, "I'm sure he will talk again about business. The only thing that fills my brother's life is business and only?business. Can we all eat first? I'm starving!"

Noah laughed and winked at his sister.

Lana enjoyed the lunch with Brione and Noah. They talked and ate, and Noah was a bit mesmerised by the confidence that filled Lana.

It was also very rare for Lana to laugh out like that except with her close friends. She felt comfortable with the siblings. Soon enough, Brione's chatting with her was indeed interrupted by her manager rushing inside and pulling Brione back with her.

"Lana, I'm so sorry. Next time let's hang out again," Brione said before leaving. Lana nodded with a smile.

"I gave you my card to contact me about the car. How come you never called even once?" Noah commented while the desserts were being served.

"It was not necessary. That was just a small accident and my insurance covered it as well… so why should I have bothered you." Lana nonchalantly commented.

"Such an aloof lady, huh." Noah whispered.

"I heard that." Lana dryly muttered.

Though Lana was having lunch, her mind was busy thinking about the incident of Liam?confirming he was a straight man. The flashes of Liam kissing her passionately kept creeping in front of her eyes, making her feel more uneasy and unsure of how she would face Liam now.

"Did I leave mine in the car?" Noah mumbled that caught Lana's attention, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Noah was busy touching his pockets when he looked at her and said, "Hmm, can I borrow your phone for a while?"

Lana gave him her mobile phone, and Noah dialed his number. Lana heard the ringing tone near Noah's coat and Noah grabbed the suit hanging on the other chair.

"Oh, it's here." Noah beamed but did not return Lana's mobile phone to her yet and typed something before handing it to her and said, "I have saved my mobile number in your phone book since you might again disregard this calling card if I will give you."

Noah winked at her and placed another calling card before Lana.

"As you see… I'm the new owner of Yao law firm. I heard that you're an intern at Sy law firm. In case you are interested in leaving Sy Law Firm, my firm will always be open to welcome you Lana." Noah started talking about business.

'What a great opportunity and timing.' Lana thought.

She did not stay for a very long time after Brione left and went home directly.

She was surprised to see Liam sitting on the customized bench swing at her door.

He stood up, seeing her approaching.

"Can we talk?" Lana heard Liam speak and Lana bit her lip. Mixed emotions started clouding inside her heart and mind while she looked at Liam.
