The Law of Attraction

Chapter 20: An Ancient Battle Of Bitchiness

Lana sat on the opposite couch and crossed her legs, showing off her sleek, perfectly shaped and long slender legs. She was wearing a notched belted, double-breasted asymmetric plaid long sleeve dress.

The way Miss Tang gazed at her, Lana could tell that the woman was probably trying to figure out her physical advantages over her. But one thing Lana was very sure about, that her brain had more advantage than this celebrity's pea sized one who even took time to criticize and judge a person for the first time like she almost knew her.

She met Miss Tang's gaze and said, "Liam will take a long time to come back so he told me to assist his clients in need while he was not around but I'm afraid I won't be able to assist or cater to your needs Miss Tang."

Miss Tang gave her a mocking laugh and snapped, "You're just an intern, right? Are you looking down at me? Obviously, you're just Liam's pastime... One of the gold diggers who is simply waiting to leech him dry, I suppose."

Lana's eyes narrowed but her lips curled upward and calmly said, "I see that the matter you're here for is not to discuss the case so let's not waste each other's time."

Lana stood up to leave Miss Tang, but the latter stood up too and hissed, "Who do you think you are? I will not stop pursuing Liam and will very soon show your real face to him and put you down, you bitch."

Lana's eyebrows arched, and she looked at the hidden cctv camera on Liam's ceiling. She really did not want to waste her energy and time with this dumb woman.

"I guess the network you are suing just stated some facts about you, Miss Tang. Your fans will surely not like it if they saw another video of your recklessness, so if you have nothing meaningful to say... I suggest instead of killing time here you visit Atty. Daryl Cha's office and discuss your case..." Lana casually said with her sly smile, enjoying how red Miss Tang was because of anger at that moment.

Miss Tang walked to leave but paused as she passed by Lana and whispered, "A nobody like you doesn't fit in his world."

Lana smirked and answered, "At least I am the one being chased by him, unlike some random woman who stooped so low to slap a false, unnecessary case on someone just to get close to Liam. We only have one world, Miss Tang, so don't exalt yourself unnecessarily. Next time research well before making a fuss on whoever it is you're dealing with."

Miss Tang strutted out from Liam's office while Lana walked directly inside her area. She grabbed her mobile phone and dialled a number.

"Pull Miss Tang out of our endorsements... I will personally answer to mom. I don't think a bitch is worth endorsing our brands." Lana calmly instructed before ending the call and grabbed the pending files on her table.

She looked at her wristwatch and crumpled her face. "He sure enjoyed himself well watching us on the cctv!" Lana grunted. It was so early in the morning, but Liam put her to an ancient battle of bitchiness!

She was grateful her area had no cctv so she could at least have her privacy and do whatever she wanted inside her own space!

...

Meanwhile, Liam was on his way to the client's place when he witnessed everything that happened inside his office on his tablet.

"Are you satisfied with everything? Did Lana pass? I think she's not still into a fighting mood yet at that point." Jorge commented as soon as Liam closed the tablet.

"She's good enough at shooing away all the women trying to perforate your life. You have found an instant shield Liam..." Jorge added but crumpled his face seeing at Liam's poker face, that showed no reaction at all, still expressionless.

Liam had picked him up from the building's main entrance soon after he dropped Lana at the basement parking area.

Jorge twitched his mouth. He was still sulky that Liam left him early that morning at the mansion just to pick up Lana when he could sit beside driver Pan at the front seat without disturbing their privacy. And yet he ended up arriving earlier than him in the office.

Liam ignored Jorge's tattering and looked at the side window of his car.

Then he unconsciously murmured, "She said she was the one being chased... Why does it sound so off to me Jorge?"

Jorge shrugged his shoulder and responded, "Is that what's bothering you in the entire episode?!"

Liam turned to look at Jorge as he weakly uttered, "Yes! It's bothersome!"

"Why? Don't tell me you're getting affected alre..." Jorge teased him with bright rounded eyes but immediately silenced with Liam's defensive scolding.

"Shut up, Jorge. It's because she kept on making it look like I'm the one chasing after her." Liam voiced out.

"Fried chicken, just be grateful to your luck for not getting exposed, because the moment Lana finds out about the one way glass exposing her sitting area to you without her knowledge... You will consider the phrase 'the one being chased' as a reward and will be graced with more worthy titles as 'the one being peeked and stalked at by a weirdo' or 'a pervert who secretly keeps peeking at me' instead."

Jorge threw Liam his blunt opinion with a mischievous grin. Liam would hear direct words from him this time for leaving him out.

"How about I assign you with Miley instead of letting you follow me Jorge? I heard Miley has been pestering father to get you attached with herself... Maybe it would be nice for you to take a fresh path Jorge." Liam countered with a straight face that made Jorge gulp.

"Alright, I will tell Lana about it today so please don't spurt nonsense things like that again. You know how I love you Liam and I don't want to be separated from you," Jorge grunted that made Liam almost vomit.

"If you say things like that again, without a word you'll be transferred to Miley!" hissed Liam.

"Noted Sir!" Jorge answered with pouty lips. Miley, Liam's scary sister was the last person Jorge would ever want to stay with!
