The Law of Attraction

At Sy Mansion

The next morning, Liam got ready for the office and took out the paper he made Lana signed the previous day. He grinned on his own while looking at the paper that had three wishes that Lana would fulfil on his demand, and he knew that he should think carefully and properly use it.

Jorge interrupted his thoughts, calling him out for breakfast. So Liam quickly kept the paper safely and went down to join the rest of the family for breakfast.

"Have you told Lana about the tournament?" Liam heard his father ask.

"Not yet. I will tell her later today." Liam answered.

"By the way Gracy will come here and stay with us for a while. If you have spare time, maybe you can also assist her regarding the position his father left. She would like to start as soon as possible." Senior Sy nonchalantly informed.

He looked keenly into his son's expression. He was aware that his son had a special feeling for Gracy when they studied together, but he wanted to see if it was still the same even now somehow. Gracy had a point last night that Liam's relationship with Lana had just started…

To be honest, it was Gracy whom he wished to be with Liam at first since there would be no problem in terms of family connection and Sean, Gracy's father, was like a brother to him. He could feel that the two had a special connection, but his hope for it was broken when Gracy left to pursue her career for a very long time.

Now she was back… But he would not interfere as much as possible. Liam's decision would be the thing that still matters. His son's happiness was his fulfillment.

Liam simply nodded in agreement.

"I will just call her…" Liam muttered. He almost forgot about Gracy. He should at least help her settle in now that Sean was gone.

Liam looked at Jorge and asked, "Can you personally handle Gracy?"

Miley who was eating absentmindedly almost choked and coughed.

Liam squinted his eyes and commented, "Jorge knows everything in the company. In fact, he is the backbone of my firm. Moreover, I am working on a few sensitive cases myself and have to handle them all personally, so I think he's more than capable enough to assist Gracy for the meantime. And most important, you be rest assured he will not fall for Gracy."

"Why are you looking at me while explaining? Something just got stuck in my throat while eating…" Miley hissed.

Liam laughed hard, hearing her reply…

Astonished, Senior Sy, Miley and Jorge looked at Liam with their mouths wide opened.

Jorge blinked several times, making sure it was Liam in front of him, then he looked at their father and Miley who gave him a meaningful gaze as well.

"Oh, by the way Jorge… Lana had claustrophobia when she was a child. Although she had already overcome it, make sure to alert the security teams that no incident of close dark space incidents with her can occur inside the company. Elevators should be always checked." Liam commented.

He was contemplating if he would do a background check on Lana's past or just wait for her to open up to him gradually. He was just worried about her wellbeing.

Clyde did not actually tell him everything, but only said that Lana had a traumatic experience during childhood due to her biological parents. That was why she had harbored great hatred for men. Clyde also mentioned that Lana vowed that she would never end up like her mother.

Jorge still couldn't find his tongue after witnessing Liam roared in the dining area with his laughter, only nodding in response to Liam's instruction.

"Bro… You laughed… After so many years…" Miley could not help but comment.

"I guess you're in an excellent mood finally being with Lana last night. Oh, you should stay more with Lana. Seeing you laughing like that is priceless," Miley added, finally composing herself after that shock.

Liam felt suddenly embarrassed, and he flushed without him knowing.

"Look how he even blushed when Lana was mentioned," Senior Sy teased with a grin. His son liked Lana that much, and Gracy seemed to be out of the picture already. Liam did not even bother to ask how Gracy was doing when he left. So, he should push the topic of marriage between Lana and Liam more now.

Liam pursed his lips and murmured, "Stop teasing me and let's all focus on breakfast."

"Son, how about you invite Lana's mother so we oldies can have a chat as well." Senior Sy quickly suggested.

He looked at Jorge and instructed, "Liam might forget to do it so I will handle it directly. Call the tournament organizer to send a formal invitation to Mrs. Huang."

Liam did not comment. It would be great for Lana's mother to join. He actually felt warm in her presence… He liked Mrs. Huang very much.

"I will also mention it to Lana…" Liam seconded.

Miley was grinning, but then that smile from her face soon disappeared, recalling Jorge would personally handle Gracy. Jorge often praised Grace before on her face, and Miley felt wronged by that decision of Liam. But she decided to endure everything for her brother's sake!

'So what? I must stand firm and let Jorge realize what he is missing.' Miley cheered herself because if she was to go back to who she was before, she would definitely bug her brother Liam nonstop to have someone else assigned to Gracy.

After breakfast, everyone went to their separate ways Miley was about to enter her car when her mobile phone beeped. It was Jorge…

She turned her head and saw him. He winked at her before entering the car with Liam.

Miley felt her heart jump out from her chest as she entered the backseat of her car.

She then opened and read Jorge's message.

[Let's leave early at around 8 in the morning tomorrow for the amus.e.m.e.nt park so you can try all the rides as many as you can.]

Miley smiled and murmured, "This brute, I haven't even agreed for tomorrow."

She typed a reply but deleted and just pressed one letter in the end.

[K]

'That's all?' Jorge mused while he scratched his head. Well, it was better than Miley turning down his invitation this weekend.

"Jorge." Liam uttered.

Jorge turned and asked, "Huh?"

"Can you check on Lana's biological parents and get some information about them? Yes, she's an adopted child, so I want you to check it confidentially. I just want to understand her a little more," Liam instructed. He decided to know more about Lana's past and not waste time in letting Lana spill all the beans.
