The Law of Attraction

Chapter 496: Hidden Meaning Behind His Words

The police arrested the shouting and cursing Jay Zhao and took him away, as the entire boardroom was filled with his cries. Everyone present there was stunned to see how things unfolded. They still couldn\'t believe that he was the real culprit who was instigating them all against Lana.

The board members apologized to Lana for their harsh comments and the meeting continued as Lana explained a few more things regarding the company and they all further decided on a few key points and finally dismissed the meeting.

Things ended on a happy note for Lana. When she finally started picking up her stuff from the desk to go back, she looked at Kyle and found him staring at her with a teasing smile on his face. She glared at him and said, "Follow me to my office, Kyle, I want to talk to you."

Kyle nodded and obediently followed her. She entered her office and sat down on her chair and asked him to sit in front of her.

With scrutinizing eyes she looked at him and questioned him, "Will you spill the beans yourself, or do you want me to interrogate you like a criminal in the court? You know you owe me so many explanations, don\'t you?"

Kyle chuckled lightly, hearing her way of questioning him. He took a deep breath exhaling loudly before he started in a solemn voice.

"Jay Zhao approached me a few days ago. He wanted me to betray you and help him get the company under his hold. He knew I am your right-hand man and that I handle almost all your legal matters including your shares. He also knew that if I wanted I could cheat you and even get those documents related to your shares from you as well."

"That despicable man…!!" Lana couldn\'t help but curse him again under her breath.

"Yes...indeed despicable. I denied him at first but then he started blackmailing me which left me with no choice but to agree to help him in bringing you down. But I told him I wouldn\'t betray you as your legal help but I would do it in a different way." Kyle continued.

Then he added, "That same day, I assigned a detective and asked him to get me information about Jay and his all businesses. I also asked him to inform me about every person he met and even managed to get his phone calls tapped. That was how I managed to get all the information regarding his dealings with the other company and with his calls I learned about his real intentions.

Lana, the mail that you received containing the information of Jay Zhao and his partnership along with everything that he had been planning and doing behind your back, was actually sent to you because of me.

The person who sent you that mail is the detective that I had hired. I knew how important it was for you to expose him in front of the entire board of members, hence I told him to send it over to you.

Knowing you, I was confident you would make good use of the complete information, and you didn\'t fail my expectations even a bit."

Lana nodded hearing his explanation. Then as if she remembered something, she looked at him and asked again, "But when you entered the meeting room you looked at me as though I was your enemy, and even during the meeting you questioned me in a very rude way. If you had already planned everything, why didn\'t you tell me everything in advance and save yourself from all the curses I gave you throughout the meeting?!"

"Had I told you, your terrible acting skills would have ruined the plan as everyone would know that I am on your side and that you have helped me buy the shares to keep me as your pawn in the meeting." Kyle immediately retorted.

Lana was left speechless by his response. She had always been very confident about her acting skills and here he was trying to rebut her from her firm beliefs! Huh!!

"But you still owe me an explanation about how you were able to buy all those shares, so mysteriously that even I didn\'t come to know about it. And what about your attire and… and… I can really feel your aura is unusual…" Lana said looking at him with raised eyebrows.

Kyle felt a bit defeated by her questions as he really did have a few secrets which he didn\'t want to tell her about… not yet. He was not sure how Lana would react when she came to know about his real identity and if she would be able to understand his reasons for not telling her the truth. He never would have guessed that the way he dressed up for the board meeting was what revealed his secrets. He probably underestimated Lana\'s sharp observant eyes.

"Yes Lana, I do owe you an explanation, but I can not reveal anything right now. Things are a bit complicated at my end and I need some more time before I am able to tell you more about this. All I can say is that you are right, I did buy all those shares myself and not with the help of Jay Zhao. You will come to know about the rest in a few days\' time.

But Lana, before I leave I want to clarify one thing. I hope you know that I will never do anything bad to you. I may be hiding a few things from you, but this does not mean that I can harm you. If one day you hear some rumors about me, please remember to clear things up directly with me instead of believing anyone else\'s words.

I can leave you, now that my work is complete. Take care!" Kyle said with a smile as he handed his letter of resignation to Lana.

"Kyle…" Lana whispered but Kyle only gave her a beautiful smile as immediately got up from his chair and left Lana\'s office.

Lana was a little confused about everything that Kyle said.?She sat in her office and contemplated his words for a while but couldn\'t understand the hidden meaning behind his words. She watched his back as he was leaving her office, in a daze. She felt so bad that Kyle had to leave after all that he had done.

All Lana could do was heaved a long frustrated sigh...
