The Law of Attraction

Chapter 262: Drink All You Want With Me

Lana excitedly prepared everything for her new office. Jorge and Miley helped her out in buying more things she needed to set her office and arranged her new office in completely functional mode. She also put up some ads for applicants she would need in her own small space. She was looking for a secretary and a paralegal to start with.

"You can use one paralegal from the company, you know…" Jorge insisted while watching Lana stick some poster in front of the glass wall of her office. He suggested pulling out one staff from Sy law firm to assist her.

"No way! If I\'m in place of that employee, it will piss me off too. Imagine I\'m originally working at a big company and you suddenly want me to assist a freelance lawyer that too a newbie? Stop that Joge. I\'m sure applicants will arrive in my doorsteps, eventually." Lana positively muttered.

Miley shook her head. Her sister-in-law looked so happy and pleased at the start of this new chapter in her life. She then looked at her wristwatch and interrupted the two, "I have to go back now, have some important meeting to attend in the office."

Jorge looked at Lana and asked, "Will you be okay if we leave you alone here?"

Lana laughed and said, "Yeah… of course. Am I a kid, Jorge? Keira and my friends are on their way now, anyway. Besides, look at the security team your?brother assigned even though my office is not operational yet?"

Jorge laughed at that. Liam was overprotective when it came to Lana, and he had already assigned three security personnel to be on guard at Lana\'s office twenty-four seven with turn over shifts.

"Alright then, I will drop Miley back to her office. Liam\'s meeting will be over soon, so I\'m sure he will come straight here as well." Jorge said before leaving and Lana nodded, gesturing the couple to leave already.

She went back inside. Her office was actually quite big already for a fresher and freelancer like her. Her thoughtful husband was pampering her too much. She had her own office space while there was a particular room where she could receive and talk to clients.?There were also other three more vacant rooms that she would give soon to her paralegal and assistant or secretary.

The office also had a pantry area, but what she loved the most was the private room inside her office.

"How naughty!" she whispered because she knew the real purpose for that private room her husband made sure to be included in her office space, aside for it to be her resting place.

Soon Keira arrived with her other friends.

"So when is the opening?" Keira asked as Lana prepared some coffee for her friends.

"As soon as I complete my team. There will be an opening ceremony…" Lana commented.

"By the way, did big bro Xander contact you already?" Keira asked.

"Yes. My first client. I will meet him the next day for the contract signing. By the way, thank you for your recommendation. I heard from Xander that you have pestered him too much for this…" Lana said in a jest.

"No way! I just followed him up to call you sooner before other clients flock to you. I just told?him it will be his loss if he won\'t get your service that instant as his family lawyer." Keira beamed with a grin.

Everyone laughed. May opened the fresh pie she baked as a snack while they were having a conversation like they used too.

"Oh, can I recommend someone I know as your secretary?" Drey suddenly commented.

"Of course, I prefer a recommendation from a friend. At least you know the person already, and I\'m sure it\'s someone I could trust." Lana replied with a smile.

After some more chatting, her friends soon left, and she walked them outside the building. Lana was about to go back when she saw a familiar figure walking absentmindedly at the side of the road, approaching where she was standing.

She smiled, recognizing it was Luo.

"Luo!" she called out, but there was no response..

Luo\'s eyes were focussed on the ground.

"What\'s wrong with her?" Lana whispered. When Luo was about to pass by her, she raised her hand to touch Luo\'s shoulder because Luo seemed to be in a deep thought to hear her.

Out of reflex, Luo instantly moved and grabbed the hand that suddenly touched her shoulder out of nowhere. She swirled around to twist that hand on the intruder\'s back, but the owner of the hand was fast as well as she managed to slip out from her gasp and suddenly Luo felt a tight hug from behind.

"Luo, are we going to have a street fight here?" Lana mumbled with a smile. Luo finally drifted back to reality and recognized her, "Lana?" she mumbled in surprise.

They quickly composed themselves because both of them had already caught some attention by the passers-by at the thought of a possible fight.

"Oh God, sorry Lana." Luo gasped apologetically, feeling stupid on how she let herself space out like that outside.

"You look like you are going through some problem. How about you join me inside for a small chat?" Lana asked, and Luo realized she was in front of the newly renovated place Liam had bought for Lana as a surprise gift.

"Oh nice! Your own space… Liam is such a good husband."

Lana chuckled as she led Luo inside.

"Yeah… He\'s the best. By the way, what brought you to this area?"

"Oh… I was just at the nearby hospital and thought to take a walk to get some fresh air and look for a place where I can drink a bit." Luo responded as she sat down on the couch.

"You have really great timing, then. I have a few drinks here, so tell me what would you like to drink? Beer? Ladies drink or some hard ones?" Lana commented. Luo seemed to be into some kind of problem, and she wanted Luo to take some drinks and talk her heart out with her rather than roaming around alone with the kind of state she was in.

"Seriously? Liam bought those drinks here?" Luo asked in disbelief.

Lana laughed and said, "No. My friends brought those. They just left by the time I saw you. They actually brought all those saying I should display some of them in my pantry."

Luo nodded as she said, "Let\'s have something light and a bit healthy, like wine…"

Lana nodded and quickly grabbed the bottles of wine.

"Drink all you want with me." Lana cheered as she approached Luo with a warm smile with two bottles of wine in her both hands.
