The Law of Attraction

After serious contemplation, Kyle ended up attending the charity ball and arrived late. He sat at a table little far from Lana's, where he could still have a good view of her from afar, after seeing that she was with Liam. He wanted to approach her to at least greet her casually but then did not, remembering Lana's request not to approach her whenever she was with Liam.

His face crumpled at the thought of how unlucky he was with women. Always having an unrequited love. And yet he never learned...

He was heartbroken, yet looking at Lana made him feel at ease somehow. So he quietly kept observing till he noticed a woman from the same table acting suspiciously trying to follow Lana, so he followed her around.

It was a good thing he did so and acted on time to save Lana or else the glasses of wine would have spilled on her.

Kyle glared at the intoxicated woman in front of him.

Meanwhile, Sarah's nostrils flared as she hissed at the man standing like a shield of Lana before her, "Who the hell are you? Do you think of yourself as some savior or her knight in shining armor?"

She felt even more annoyed when the man did not answer her but only kept glaring at her with furious eyes.

Kyle shook his head and scoffed, "So that only means you're guilty of intentionally feigning clumsiness to spill those glasses over her. Women…"

Looking away she stopped another waiter who passed by and grabbed a glass of drink and gulped it all in a single breath.

"You're quite drunk already…" she heard the man comment with an irritated tone. She turned her face towards him, still hiccupping as she raised her hand to point her finger at him.

"You! Why do you care if I'm clumsy or intentionally wanted to spill the wine on her?!"

"What?" Kyle raged, annoyed that his white suit got stained because of this woman who was no longer in her right mind, reeking of alcohol. She was wearing a mask but her sharp eyes were throwing daggers at him.

"You…" Sarah hissed again as she moved closer to Kyle pointing her finger to his chest and poking him.

Sarah was about to say more but she suddenly felt dizzy, her knees weakened and the surroundings started getting black.

"Hey!" Kyle gasped as he immediately caught the woman who passed out in his arms.

His face crumpled as he carried Sarah's body and asked the waiter to get him a room in the hotel and call for a doctor as well.

"Such a pain in the ass!" he complained. His gaze suddenly fell on a man with a familiar build, who was already staring at him while sitting on a table not far from his.

His assistant approached Kyle and said, "Sir, he is waiting for you… at his table. I can take care of her."

Kyle looked at the unconscious woman in his arms and smirked, "No way! She's my woman, what makes you believe that I would let you take care of her? I need to make sure she's safe and I must be around her until she gains consciousness. Tell him that…"

The assistant nodded and walked immediately to the man sitting at a table nearby, talking with someone, and whispered Kyle's message in his ears.

Kyle nodded seeing him shift his gaze on him and so did the person. Kyle heaved a deep sigh of relief as he went out of the hall, carrying the woman in his arms.

'I guess… This woman somehow saved me today,' he mused because he was actually looking for an excuse not to be in the ball for too long after seeing how Lana was doing with Liam. He was still conflicted and undecided about how he would proceed further.

********

Back at the table where Senior Sy and Miley were sitting, Miley noticed that Chelsy was spacing out.

"Hey, mom Chelsy… Are you alright?" Miley asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. What were you saying again?"

"I said me and Jorge were planning to go on a vacation and asked if you and father would like to join. I will also ask Liam and Lana…" Miley repeated.

Ram held Chelsy's hand and commented, "You're cold. Are you okay? Are you still nervous?"

"Oh my God…" Chelsy suddenly jumped in her seat as she recalled something. It was about the woman she saw in the restroom. Ram told that the woman was a family friend, who is popular now as the fiance of Presidential candidate Billy Grey but somehow she felt that she had seen her somewhere else…

All the while, she had her brain knocked up to try and recall where she had seen her until she finally realized where...

'Could I be wrong? But… What if I'm correct?' Chelsy mused in hesitation. But the woman looked the same as that time, except for her hairstyle. The woman she saw was in her shades and wore a ponytail at that time, but the familiarity and resemblance were undeniably the same… The voice too…

'Gracy…' Ram said that she was a family friend but something went wrong between their families. Her heart suddenly started racing. Everything is going on so well in the Sy family. What if her guess was wrong, then she could only bring a worry to Sy's family? But what if she was right?

The auction was starting and she did not want to spoil the atmosphere after seeing how Miley was also enjoying the performance of each celebrity. Plus she was not sure yet… She would definitely mention this dilemma to Ram in case she was also right. Liam would probably find some ways to confirm and check the matter.

'Oh, God…' Chelsy gasped.

"What is it?" Ram asked with a worried tone because he felt Chelsy's trembling hand. Chelsy looked at him and whispered, "I'm good. Let's talk later and enjoy the event for now. I will tell you everything after this event..."

Ram's forehead creased because he could feel something was wrong listening to Chelsy's anxious tone. He held her hand and gently squeezed it and whispered in her ear, "Tell me everything later. Remember your promise… No more secrets."

Chelsy smiled and nodded before she leaned her head on his shoulder.
