The Law of Attraction

At Sy Building

The next morning, Liam called upon all the persons who knew all the details about Lana and her background. Daryl, Jorge, Mian, and Dona were all inside. Liam confronted everyone except for Daryl who was absent that day.

"Sir my lips are sealed and I always make sure none of her information will leak at all. I swear I did not reveal even the slightest detail about Miss Lana," Dona defended.

Mian also said the same.

Liam then looked at Jorge.

"Hey… I'm not a blabbermouth and neither is Daryl for sure. None of us would talk absurdly about Lana like that, Liam," Jorge commented nonchalantly but suddenly halted as something clicked in his mind and he realized how Sarah could have been aware of Lana's life.

"I recall seeing Sarah in your office one day where Lana's profile and her classified details were spread open on your table. That time you were so desperate to find her… I asked her what she was doing inside your office without you being around, and she said she's looking for you.

But I'm not sure if she touched any papers on the table… You're not at your seat at that time Liam, you might have been crying inside your private room probably or dozed off to sleep that time."

"Mian?!" Liam hissed with a penetrating glance at Mian asking how Sarah could enter without him knowing.

"Oh that, I went to the restroom at that time and didn't know when she went in, but I did see her coming out of the room. She told me you're not inside the room. I'm sorry sir. I went to answer the call of nature and Dona was out to buy lunch," Mian whispered, recalling that time a few months ago.

Sarah was new in the company then and the woman was not aware that the boss had a private room inside his office. She actually told Sarah in a nice and respectful manner how strict Liam was about not letting anyone enter his office space without his permission after that incident and Sarah promised she would not do that again.

"I think you should talk to Sarah first and see what she answers," Jorge commented.

"I want to terminate her contract," Liam simply instructed.

"What?! Let's talk it out first bro. I mean it's not bad to hear her side of the story first," Jorge burst in bewilderment, because Liam said it so himself that Sarah was an asset.

Liam looked straight at Jorge and said, "No one dares threaten Lana. Threatening her is as good as threatening me on my face. Make sure to terminate her contract as early as possible."

'Once Miley finds out about this, she will definitely rejoice,' Jorge mused and he could not even wait to relay the news to Miley.

Liam soon dismissed everyone except for Jorge.

"And why am I still here?" Jorge complained with a crumpled face.

Liam's eyebrows lifted up and said, "Make sure what happens in the office stays in the office Jorge, and don't you dare leak it to Miley. If you leak it to Miley then you will leave me no choice but to tell her how Mr. Ko kept you entertained last time with his so-called beautiful flowers…"

Jorge's eyes rounded as his face paled.

"You wouldn't dare?..."

"Try me…" Liam nonchalantly said as he sat back on his chair.

Jorge's face twitched as he complained, "That's not my fault and besides I behaved well that night. You know that Mr. Ko is a very important client so we both can't refuse his…"

"Yeah but then why explain it to me? How about try explaining that to Miley?" Liam continued with a smirk.

"Okay fine. I won't mention anything to Miley. I can't believe that you're blackmailing me like this. Just so you wait… and I will blackmail you soon as well, once you and Lana reconcile…" Jorge mumbled with flaring nostrils before storming out of Liam's room.

Liam shook his head while grinning. He would not allow Jorge and Miley to spoil his punishment to Lana.

At Zhao Group

Lana was having a headache because of the tremendous decrease in the report sales for the year. If this continued then the company would be affected a great deal.

Luo already informed her that some of the board members were not pleased with how she had left the management in her sister and Noah's hands. She too was aware of the union forming against her inside her company… A union that wanted to sabotage her in the position.

She and Kyle were closely working on it already. And she knew that the low sales were all planned to pull her down and to show that she was inappropriate and incapable of handling the group as the Chairman and CEO.

She needed to pull those weeds out… completely out of her mother's company before their numbers grew and occupied her territory.

"Loli, call for a board meeting after the charity event I will attend, tell everyone to be there…" Lana instructed her secretary.

Soon Kyle entered with the files she required.

"I found your man," Kyle boasted as she handed Lana the file.

"He's your distant uncle. I guess he believes he has more rights to the company than you do. He's buying the shares using different people…" Kyle commented while Lana read the reports.

"Yeah, I have a hunch it's him who is convincing the others to replace me. Somehow, I still want to believe it's not him since he's been cool to me. I guess those are all fake smiles and all the good demeanor, just acting." Lana mumbled, totally disappointed.

Lana looked at Kyle and heaved a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Kyle asked.

"I owe you a lot, Kyle… But you do know that I will have to let go of your hand if that's what it will take for me to get Liam back in my life." Lana directly informed.

Kyle looked utterly confused so she added, "Liam is aware that I contacted you when I left. I told him everything and he's jealous… envious of you, in fact. If he will be too uncomfortable with you being close to me please don't hate me if I have to keep you away…from me somehow."

Kyle was too quiet and Lana felt really bad since he was a good friend of her who did nothing wrong but to stay with her as a good companion at work and as a friend as well.

"I'm sorry, Kyle."

Kyle gave her a faint smile and whispered, "Don't be sorry Lana. I'm sure Liam would not ask you to kick me out of here. Only an immature man will do that. Plus he does not have any reason to get insecure of me right?"

Kyle intently looked at Lana, hoping to get even just a small hint…

But to his disappointment, Lana only gave him a wide reassuring smile as she replied, "Of course. Why would he get insecure when all of me belongs to him? He's my everything…"
