The Law of Attraction

Lana gave him a half smile and nodded. "Can I start tomorrow then?" Lana asked and the man's eyes brightened.

"Sure…"

How she hated that malicious smile he had while scanning her body with his eyes. She was about to leave, but paused near the table as if she was almost tripping.

"Ouch…" she yelled as she immediately put a bug under the table secretly.

The man who escorted her in the office ran quickly to her side. She had a bashful smile at the old man who was staring on her legs as she mumbled, "Sorry it's my first time wearing high heels…so..."

"Oh honey, you should be more careful next time…" he whispered while his eyes kept hovering on Lana's legs. The man was obviously a s.e.x maniac.

She was sure there were more victims of his l.u.s.t working just for the sake of earning good money, but were afraid to come out and report him since he was paying them high money and threatening them as well, like he did with Mica.

A man suddenly rushed inside and murmured in a rush, "We couldn't find her!" But halted when he noticed she was inside.

As she expected, they were looking for Mica since the latter did not accept the bribery money after her constant molestation by the boss.

She saw Mr. Weng signaled his man to escort her out and Lana slightly bowed as farewell.

"You're looking for someone?" Lana casually asked the man who was probably one of Mr. Weng's bouncers.

"Yeah, one of the waitresses is missing," he replied casually. Lana only nodded as she excitedly whispered, "Will I really earn a lot of money here?"

The man only nodded.

"You are working here as what?"

"Security…"

Lana nodded and she said, "I'm Belle by the way."

"Yeah I heard… I will leave you here since I need to go back to my post."

Lana only nodded with a smile.

She still looked around before going out very soon.

She wanted to leave the place as soon as possible because she knew she was being stalked by the men of her husband and she was guilty for doing something like this sneakily behind his back. As soon as she left the place she cursed because her mobile phone rang. It was Liam's video call.

Lana knew if she accepted Liam's call standing in front of such a cheap place, he would be very furious. Liam very seriously told her before he left that she was not allowed to put herself in any kind of danger by doing any kind of fieldwork that was not safe.

He would immediately catch her and she would be scolded on the road in front of so many people by her possessive man. She then quickly called a cab and went inside the car to answer Liam's video call. Well, her husband was probably already aware of her actions since he had made sure to put a tail on her for her own safety before he left.

She answered the call and Liam's frowning face on the screen almost made her heart skip a beat. She gulped seeing his fuming face on the screen and sweetly greeted him with as beautiful a smile as she could manage to seduce him.

"Why do you want to worry me, love? Didn't I request you to please avoid accepting the cases that can put you in danger? That's my only request while I'm away…" Liam confronted, toning his voice as much as he could.

He was already floored by her smile but he anyhow wanted to sound a little angry with her putting herself into danger.

His men who were stalking Lana and providing him with her every minute of details, just reported to him that she had entered into a hookers club.

He was aware of the recent cases and situations she was working on, but he did not expect she would go to that length of disguising herself and entering that freaking low grade hookers club. What was worse was he presumed that his wife would stay in that club as an employee, until she would get enough evidence on her own for the case?

He was trying to calm himself down and not worry for her as much as possible. This was why he also hid the details of his real agenda behind going to country V with his cousins. He wanted her to be safe, but she just couldn't stay still even for a few weeks and would get herself in trouble if she proceeded.

Lana gave Liam her reassuring and sweetest smile as she said, "Love… Don't get mad at me please. Let's talk later about it and I will explain everything to you then, I will call you again as soon as I get home, okay? I'm still in the cab and it won't be good to discuss things in here. I love you and I will call you soon…"

The call ended and all Liam could do was heave a long, deep sigh. He felt frustrated as he was not able to fulfill his promise of protecting her himself her entire life and was struck in this foreign land.

He got startled when Ryu and Shawn suddenly barged inside his room. They were staying at the same unit at country V with just different rooms in a luxurious apartment that was held in the name of Ryu Ken and was extremely luxuriously decorated too.

"You have to change your number when you meet Yun again. Here use this mobile phone instead." Ryu instructed and gave him a different mobile phone.

Ryu looked at Shawn, then at him and Liam could sense there was more…

"What is it?!" Liam asked.

"Your marriage with Lana is a secret, right?"

Liam nodded.

Ryu left a satisfied sigh as he continued, "I'm really sorry about this Liam… But Yun is tailing Lana's every move. She may be put in danger…"

Liam already expected it to happen, so he said, "I know… That's why I have come up with a plan to keep her safe until we solve everything…"

He could see the downcasted look on Shawn's face, so Liam smiled and touched his shoulder, "Hey don't give us that look okay… We will surely get over it and bring down that bastard very soon."

"I'm really sorry about all this Liam," Shawn murmured, feeling bad that Liam's wife could be in danger because of him.

Liam shook his head and added, "Don't be… Because we would soon surpass this plus I have other ways to ensure my wife's safety so Yun would never bother to even waste time on her alright?"

Shawn listened to what Liam said and yet he did not feel good as he knew whatever Liam would do will have some kind of implications on him… He just heaved a frustrated sigh and shook his head in annoyance.
