The Law of Attraction

Chapter 264: Exclamation Mark

Luo felt her head was still spinning. She got totally drunk with Lana in her office last evening. For the first time in her life, she found someone, in front of whom, she could pour her heart out.

She was totally surprised when she found out that Lana and her life stories were a little alike. They were both adopted, although their early childhood situation was very different from each other.

She realised that she was lucky enough to be in good hands ever since she was an infant, so she didn\'t experience any tragedy and traumatic experiences like Lana did in her innocent childhood, tainting her emotional body for almost her lifetime.

Though she had a headache when she woke up, she felt light in her heart and a good feeling of finding Lana as a friend after she woke up that morning… Having someone to talk to in the time of sadness was really blissful.

She then got up, took a bath and quickly ate her breakfast with her parents before heading out for work. She was going to be a lot busier in the coming days because of Liam\'s absence. His trust in her had increased multifold in recent months.

She was driving towards her office with a small smile on her face, as the thought of visiting Lana again later made her feel better.

She suddenly thought of something and gave a slanting glance at her mobile phone as she whispered, "How come he has not contacted me ever since that night?"

Luo then heaved a long sigh and murmured, "Maybe he\'s no longer interested in me…" But somehow she felt sad if that was really the case. She thought her way of trying to get him to notice her was good enough, since Noah seemed to be more interested in her in the past few weeks.

What surprised her the most was the strange eyes of Noah when she tricked him with the sleeping thing, and though she could feel the desire that night in his eyes, he neither forced her nor showed extreme anger on her.

She even felt for a moment that he was surprised and a bit happy when she denied his advances and tricked him. But her mind was puzzled as all that seemed a little too impossible knowing how cold and ruthless Noah was. And him not seeking for her again was another piece of a puzzle that didn\'t fit in Noah\'s character according to Luo!

"Should I call him?"

Luo shook her head and quickly abolished the idea from her mind. She felt it was better that she should wait and see what Noah would do next. She at least expected him to bug her to pay off for that property he bought for her in order to \'sleep\' with him.

Her eyes became bright as a wide smile spread on them. Tomorrow she would definitely find time to visit her new property, no matter how busy she would get with her work!!!

Meanwhile, Noah was in deep thought while he was looking at the documents and contracts for signing. His mind was wandering again somewhere else, and he kept spacing out again and again. Craig had to snap his fingers before his face several times just to keep him on track.

"Hey, what\'s going on with you? You\'re zoning out every now and then these past few days and it\'s so out of your character!" Craig mumbled with a scolding tone.

Noah\'s eyebrows arched as he said, "And since when did you start complaining about me spacing out, huh?"

He took his pen and started signing on the papers so Craig would leave soon and before he spurted some nonsense again and bugged him about the property he bought for Luo.

"Is it because of Luo? Are you perhaps love struck?!" Craig could not help but burst. He still could not believe that Noah bought a property for a woman worth millions, just like that. Well, he had already foreseen it seeing how the two bickered, but still he was really shocked knowing how Noah was not interested in any woman for years.

As far as Craig knew, he hated liabilities and wasting money on women, so how could he be so generous to a woman suddenly.

"What?!" Craig blurted out, seeing Noah\'s glare at him.

"Here are your papers and go fix everything now instead of bubbling nonsensical things!" Noah beamed and Craig gave him a teasing smile, making his face turn more red.

Craig stood up after picking up the papers from him. He shook his head and teased, "I think you and Luo will make a perfect match… Look at those eye bags under your eyes. Initial sign of being love struck," before he ran out of the door.

Noah exhaled loudly in embarrassment. Being teased like that was the last thing he wanted to experience!

He cursed… After that night, his following nights had become so sleepless.

He grabbed his mobile phone and tapped on it to type a message to Luo.

After a few words, he again deleted it. He could not find the appropriate words to deliver it because Luo had to make up for the millions he lost! He was not a charity ward!

After a moment of contemplating and backspacing messages he typed, he finally managed to send one.

Luo was already in her office when she heard her mobile phone beeped.

Her eyes widened in excitement seeing it was a message from Noah.

[Do you think you can get away easily after everything? Just like that? You have to sleep in my place every night and keep the bargain and pay me off for the property until I tell you to leave!!!]

"What\'s with the exclamation mark? Does that mean he is shouting at me with that text message?" Luo scoffed with a smirk.
