The Law of Attraction

"Luo, find out the person who has uploaded that video online and sue him and make sure to take it all down within an hour. Anyone who doesn't oblige with this order and refuses to take the video down, slap them with non-bailable charges and make sure they are behind the bars within a month!" Liam instructed and Luo nodded.

Jorge dismissed Luo afterwards to talk to Liam.

"Stop being childish Liam. It's just a kiss, why are you making a fuss out of it? Just let it pass. Besides…" Jorge pointed out because Liam wanted to cancel Lana's internship in the Sy Law firm.

Liam was adamant on sending the notice of harassment. Jorge could sense the hesitation in him though he had said those words, he actually didn't mean it. But the problem, as big as it had always been, was Liam's ego was too high and at that moment it was in hyperactive mode once again..

"Besides what?" Liam asked with a puckered forehead.

"Really? Do I have to state the obvious again? Besides, you obviously returned the kiss with the same passion! You enjoyed it and you don't have to show me your darn 'fried chicken' because I know you too well…" Jorge scolded.

Liam hated it whenever Jorge called his pride and ego 'fried chicken'. There's no poise at all!

"As I've said, use this opportunity. Instead of filing the notice of harassment, just make Lana pretend to be your girlfriend to stop your father from forcing you to go on blind dates. Use this incident to your advantage instead. It seems that Lana Huang too had been lined up on various blind dates, so why don't the two of you work together and pretend to be in a relationship? No strings attached! No expectations, no nagging from the family henceforth. And the best part is that both of you will be safe with each other since you have one very important thing in common." Jorge stated.

He had already read enough about Lana from her social media accounts and he strongly believed that the two of them would actually be a good match together.

"Things in common? Cut the crap Jorge and make your speech short." Liam simpered.

"You both are HATERS of opposite s.e.x!" Jorge spelled out, loud and clear.

Liam gave a threatening yet with a conflicted look to Jeorge on such a detailed analysis. The room again started turning into an iceland but stopped with the buzzing of the intercom.

"Sir… the HR team is waiting for you in the conference room. The interns are all here for a briefing and our HR would like to introduce them all to you and get some words of encouragement for them all." secretary Mian reported.

"I'll be there in a minute Mian." Liam muttered.

Excitement ran throughout Jorge's vein. It meant Lana Huang was already here.

"Let's go, fast. You said you'll be there in a minute. I wonder if Lana has realized by now who the man she just kissed was! Or if not yet I can't wait to see how she would react when she finds that out. This is more than exciting Liam, Let's go! Lets go now!" Jorge enthusiastically pulled Liam out of his office.

Liam paused and glared icily at Jorge's hands holding his arm.

"Ah! hehehe… Alright. I'll let go now. Sorry," grinning, Jorge mumbled and quickly let Liam's arm go. He extended his hand signaling Liam to walk first.

Jorge shook his head as he followed Liam from behind. "What a grumpy man!" Jorge murmured behind Liam's back.

Brows drew together, Liam snapped, "I heard you Jorge!"

"Well… Aren't you used to it? Grumpsss…" Jorge teased more.

Liam heaved a sigh. Once at home, he would break Jorge's neck for sure.

Meanwhile, inside the conference room, Lana's mind was too busy thinking of how she should defend herself once she faced Liam Sy.

Sy Law Firm had accepted approximately twenty interns this year if Lana's counting was correct.

She wondered if hers would be cancelled but that was just too unprofessional thing for such a reputed law firm to do. She sighed. Liam Sy was the owner and CEO of this law firm, so it was possible and easy…

How she wished that the 0.1 percent possibility came true and the man from the restaurant was not Liam Sy.

She looked around while the HR briefed them and introduced the rules and regulations of the company. Each of them had a booklet about Sy Law Firm visions, departments and a lot more to get themselves familiarized with, being an intern there.

The door opened and Lana nervously bit her lower lip seeing the familiar man with his stoic aura enter.

'Sh*t!' she silently cursed. The remaining 0.1 percent possibility just got added and gave her a 100% confirmation that she was doomed. Lana almost visualied herself begging for mercy from the stone cold man.

While walking towards his seat, Liam paused near the row where Lana was sitting, making Lana's heart almost burst in nervousness and fear that she immediately controlled.

'Why should I cower in front of him, didn't he thoroughly enjoy the kiss and even kissed me back so passionately?'

Liam stared at her with a blank expression. Lana did not even blink and met his gaze with lifted eyebrows. Her eyes challenged his gaze, saying, "What?"

"Positive… that's her..." lawyers who already saw the trending video of Liam's kissing scandal, murmured to each other.

'Wow! She looks so fierce. Killing Liam with her sharp eyes!' Jorge, who was at Liam's back mused. His eyes almost popped out seeing Liam was the first one to pull back and walked straight in front to his seat.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, many of you know our CEO and he is here today to welcome all of you to our firm." The HR host introduced Liam.

Lana's face twitched, she knew Liam Sy by name. Who would not? But she actually did not bother to look at his face. Well, she probably must have seen him on the news or in newspaper and magazine articles, but she really did not bother to remember nor take note of his face.

A round of applause was given as Liam stood in the center to welcome the interns. He was known as a man of few words so most of them expected him to just say his welcome greeting.

"You all know that Sy Law Firm is one of the leading law firms worldwide. You may think of yourself to be very lucky to be accepted in our firm, well we will see how lucky you actually are... Because one thing I can tell you all is that our firm is dominating the world because we are strict and hardworking. Obey every rule and regulation and be hardworking."

Liam paused, his eyes searched the crowd and looked straight in a particular spot.

"So all I can say is in this firm… Survival of the fittest is best applied. Everyone is welcome to leave if you find our firm hard for you to handle. So good luck and welcome…" Liam sternly announced before handing the microphone back to their HR personnel.

No one expected those many words from him because it was the first time the CEO used such kind of strict words for incoming interns. Usually he would only say, "Welcome and we hope and wish you learn a lot from this firm."

Daryl elbowed Jorge and asked, "What was that? Is Liam in a bad mood?"

Jorge shook his head and simply answered, "That's the after- effect of getting involved in a kissing scandal."

Daryl looked confused. He just got back after a meeting with a client.

"Did I just miss an interesting event?" he asked Jorge.
