The Law of Attraction

Chapter 485: Termination

Sarah finally switched on her mobile phone after having turned it off for three days. She went to the office directly after lunch and creased her forehead hearing her mobile phone beep several times as she walked towards the building. She sighed on receiving those unread messages from the past three days.

She was in seclusion for days not because she was literally sick but because she felt lovesick.

'This is embarrassing!' she whispered as she went inside the elevator. Annoyed at the notification sounds, she started opening the messages.

Her eyes rounded as she cursed, "Sh*t!"

It was her secretary informing her that a termination contract was handed to her office by the HR in a confidential matter. Instead of going to her office, she walked straight to Liam's office.

"I'm sorry Miss Sarah, you can't go in without the CEO's approval," Mian stopped her.

Sarah's eyebrows lifted as she grunted, "It's lunchtime Mian! Is he in an important meeting?"

Mian shook her head and whispered, "He's with Miss Lana right now."

"What?!" she almost yelled.

"Dona already informed him you're here, so please sit until he answers Miss Sarah," Mian explained with an awkward smile.

Soon, Mian's intercom buzzed, it was Liam instructing her to let Sarah inside.

Sarah rushed inside and saw the two having tea on Liam's couch.

"Have a seat, Sarah…" Liam instructed.

"Contract termination? What's going on Liam?!" she burst, not minding Lana was there. Her heart was beating fast. She was too anxious.

Liam heaved a sigh and coldly looked at her and said, "The termination is confidential so you can leave saying you will go to a firm that is more suitable for you…"

"Why are you terminating my contract?" she asked, still feeling confused and betrayed.

"I'm terminating it because I don't want a colleague who is acting against my wife. I don't want business getting mixed up with personal issues, Sarah. Lana is my wife so I will not tolerate anyone berating nor degrading her. Leave as soon as possible while I'm still being nice to you. You will be compensated well and will be provided with good records so I'm sure almost all firms would desperately try to scout you…" Liam added.

Sarah looked at Lana and then Liam as she weakly whispered, "Wife? Is this a prank?"

"I don't think I need to explain myself any further, Attorney Jung. You can go now because I'm still having lunch with my wife."

Lana gulped because she suddenly felt pity seeing Sarah's face pale and watching her almost trip over as she walked outside.

"I think she's in love with you, that's how it looks by seeing her expression," Lana whispered, having a sudden soft spot towards Sarah because in her she suddenly saw a woman with an unrequited love.

"I doubt it's love. It's more like she looks up to me and probably admires me and likes me and thinks that it's love… It will pass soon," Liam whispered.

"Maybe Jorge is right. I mean you can talk to her first, before deciding to terminate her… Oh, I don't want another Gracy on the loose. Though Sarah could be harmless… But she does speak sharp words..." Lana commented recalling how sharp Sarah's tongue was.

Liam chuckled and pulled her closer into his embrace while he whispered, "I have already decided to terminate her contract, so it won't do any good to change my mind. Besides if you are right and she indeed has an unrequited love for me, are you telling me that you will be comfortable seeing a woman with unrequited love near me?"

"No way!" Lana burst out with rounded eyes, making Liam chuckle and pinch her nose.

"See? So it would be best to stay away from Sarah. She's a good lawyer and I'm sure Noah would do what is needed… I already endorsed her…" Liam whispered with a sigh.

Lana sighed too, hoping Sarah would not harbor a grudge.

Meanwhile, Sarah was not herself as she went back to her office where Jorge came after her to explain everything so Sarah would not feel that bad about the situation.

"You see Sarah, I'm like a brother to Liam and I know him better. He's head over heels for Lana and the two of them were finally doing good in their relationship. They will also proceed with the wedding ceremony together with our parents.

He does not want to lose Lana the second time around so he will do anything to prevent any harm to Lana by all means, whether it's physical or emotional. It reached him how you almost threaten Lana about her father. You must tell me where you find out about it Sarah or Liam will dig into it further.

You know how his mind works. That file is very classified and confidential so he will not let such things pass. It was also included in the contract you signed… Slandering any of his family members… it's a ground for termination. He was married to Lana since last year. They just had a misunderstanding and they already solved it among themselves." Jorge explained.

Sarah sniggered and weakly whispered, "Alright. I will leave, as you wish. I guess I broke an important law of the company. But then I was not aware they are married, Jorge. I mean if only I knew it would be a different story…"

'She wouldn't definitely have messed with a married man,' Sarah wanted to add but what even was the point now?

"I hope you will understand, Sarah. Liam did not want any complications in his relationship with Lana. We recommended you to Lao Firm and Noah would be glad to welcome a key person like you." Jorge said with a heavy heart because Sarah made a great contribution in that short period and she was actually a nice person during those times.

Sarah did not bother to say any more words and instantly signed the documents in front of Jorge. She felt too embarrassed to even speak any further.

But then after gathering enough courage, she managed to lift her chin and uttered, "I will then accept the recommendation to Yao firm and will show you how you lost a great asset like me, Jorge. But don't worry… I won't harbor anything against Liam nor Lana but you must tell them that this is not entirely my fault. If only I knew he was married from the start… I would have never thought nor dreamt about being with him."

Jorge sighed as he nodded. Indeed, women tend to be complicated in situations where their hearts were involved. They had different approaches, that could sometimes lead to success or even damage instead.
