The Law of Attraction

Chapter 9: Sniffing Like A Dog

"Quick, tell me what happened?" Jorge impatiently asked Liam, curious to know if Lana agreed with the conditions they put in the paper that Liam gave to Lana.

Liam was not comfortable saying all those things to her. He didn't want to miss any detail while putting forth his conditions so instead of saying in words, he chose to put everything on paper for her to read properly.

"I don't know Jorge. That woman has an overflowing confidence... I am afraid she might find my conditions atrocious and would just go and look for another firm for her internship." Liam plainly answered and went back to his seat.

"What's more interesting is she was not scared of me a bit neither was she intimidated by me for even a single second!? She even didn't tilt her head down once during the whole conversation. She has some guts to be acting this way in front of me I should say," Liam unconsciously uttered.

"Who? Lana?" Jorge naively asked but Liam ignored him.

With eyes flickering, Jorge began to tease, "Is she getting on your nerves? Or is she seizing your interest now?"

Jorge twitched his mouth seeing Liam's eyes darted at the door.

"It seems you're really curious to find out why she did not get intimidated by you, and now you feel like going mad and crazy and you want to see her again and make her restless, then…"

"Stop wasting your saliva Jorge!" Liam snapped because Jorge was starting to buzz in his ear again.

"My saliva is mine to waste. Besides it's completely on my will to use it as I like, and I believe I'm not wasting it. In fact it will be wasted if I won't make use of it..." Jorge whispered with a crooked face and comfortably sat on Liam's couch.

"Let's wait and see Liam. I am sure she will report here tomorrow, willingly. You know how all future lawyers dream to be able to get even a week-long project here. Being accepted in our firm for an internship for an entire semester is like a gold medal in their credentials…" Jorge encouraged Liam because it was true.

"It's definitely not going to be my loss Jorge…" Liam wryly expressed.

Then Liam raised an eyebrow and inquired out of nowhere, "Tell me Jorge, what's with you and Mian? Since when did you both learn to eavesdrop at my office door? You both are completely aware that this office is hundred percent soundproof. What were you both trying to achieve after all?"

Jorge laughed and said, "Well, we just didn't want to miss any kind of sound if it escaped... who knows, we could end up hearing something…"

"Like what kind of sounds were you expecting Jorge?" Liam hissed.

Jorge stood up from the couch and started walking towards the door while speaking. "Like... kissing sounds you know, hot passionate ones?" Jorge almost tripped as he ran out from Liam's office after throwing his teasing statement over him.

Liam wanted to beat Jeorge to pulp when he heard his words. He cursed him and shook his head as he watched Jorge running out from his office.

Jeorge always used this light side of himself to lighten his mood up. He had always helped him out. Initially, he was hesitating in implementing Jorge's idea, but when he thought about it he realized this would really be beneficial for him in keeping his father from pestering him.

With some more thought he finally agreed in the end. This was true that it would be a win-win situation for both sides so the idea did not sound that bad to act on. On one side, he could escape his father's harassment while on the other hand Lana could achieve what she wanted without getting set up by her family again.

He did not see any point for Lana to reject his proposal and not accept such a simple task and comply with his conditions.

As soon as Lana's name spiralled in his mind, his thoughts again started wandering around her. He was slightly irked up for not yet understanding that one thing…"What perfume she uses that has such an enticing scent…"

Meanwhile, as soon as Lana sat inside her car, the first thing she did was smell herself.

"What was wrong with him, why the hell was he sniffing me like a dog?" she exclaimed as she tried to sniff herself and check what kind of scent he was referring to. She was shocked by his actions as she did not ever bother to use any kind of cologne or perfume on herself? Even the body and hair products she used were all unscented.

She used body products from her family's owned company that were the most upper class niche products and she loved them all, removing odors without any lingering scent like other products.

"Looks like he has some problem with his proboscis and simply kept on hovering me to challenge me further."

She flicked all thoughts from her mind and immediately drove back to her place and planned to read what was inside the envelope once she reached home. She did not want to get distracted while driving hence did not bother to open it in the car and decided it would be best to read it in her home.

"Finally," Lana muttered as soon as she entered inside her house. She went straight into her room and jumped on her bed, with the envelope still unopened in her hand.

It was a tiring day for her, physically as well as mentally, and she thought she should mark this day in the calendar to remember this date as her unluckiest day ever.

She then opened the envelope and slid out the papers inside to start reading them. It was not a contract but it stated Liam's conditions. If she would accept it then she could stay in his firm and he would also not sue her for harassment.

Lana abruptly raised her body and sat upright on the bed. She almost kissed the paper to read the things written clearly in it. The corners of her eyes crinkled as she subconsciously cursed.

"The heck… Is he serious?!" she exclaimed as she continued to read each and every line with an agitated mind.
