The Law of Attraction

Chapter 279: A Heart Problem

Noah had been fiddling with his pen for quite some time now instead of putting his signature on documents that needed his approval.

"Damn!" he mumbled in exasperation. He was in a dilemma from the day he had that blueballs night! He was sure that woman Luo would definitely be the death of him, he was surprised how she was making him go through a lot of emotions that were foreign to him in his over thirty years of life.

He was shocked when she pushed him away and before he could realise what happened she threw her words on him and ran away.

Her words were very clear… He could have all of her if… if he became her husband!

\'Was she serious? Which century was she living in?\' He scoffed when he repeated her words in his mind.

For years he was used to living a cold and dominant life, seeing beautiful and wealthy women flock around him and even trying to crawl into his bed. He was sure once Luo started living with him she would give in and let him have her completely.

So after he realised that Luo played him when she \'slept\' with him for the first time, he decided to ask her to shift with him. He was sure his charm would work perfectly on her and she would not be able to escape from that after a few days.

Noah had never thought that he would be sleeping with the blue balls.

"Shhh!" he scoffed, because he was so disappointed in himself.

"I\'m getting manipulated by that woman!" he grunted, somehow accusing Luo for bewitching him because no matter how hard he tried to think of a way out…

The more he ended up getting lost in her thoughts… where he could only see a path that led him straight to Luo.

He was now even afraid. What if someone else took her away from him? The way the man replied on her phone and how much Luo cared for the man baffled him and he felt a? kind of loneliness surge in his heart. He knew he badly wanted her…

He sighed again as he began to sign all the papers kept on his table, waiting for his approval. While he signed the papers, all that ran in his mind was that woman, Luo and how he could have her… he wanted Luo by any means, no matter what.

Luo almost choked on her own saliva as she drank her tea.

"Somebody must be thinking of me…" she whispered with a grin while her eyes were focussed on her laptop. She wondered if it was Noah thinking about her and probably cursing her...

"Nah, it would probably be Daryl, Noah would definitely not find time to think about me..." she whispered with pouty lips.

It had been two days already since that incident when she almost lost her virginity to Noah. She was glad that she managed to regain her self-control that night.

Noah has not contacted her since then. She even doubted if he slept with her that night since he was not on the bed when she woke up in the morning.

"He\'s probably avoiding me after all that now." she sadly mumbled as she rested her back on her chair.

She had not heard from him after that night, so she was presuming that Noah finally got back to his senses by now and would stop pestering her and even might sort things out with her differently now.

"But... why does it feel sad? Wasn\'t this how I really want my relationship to be? What else should he do now if not drop the idea of dropping me and asking for his property back in his name? He would definitely not think about making an official relationship with me and getting engaged with me or marrying me!" she murmured melancholically.

She could feel small needles pricking in her heart, as if what she desired was there in front of her but she refused to take it and then regret...

"Geez…" she hummed as she stretched her arms and looked at the wall clock of her office.

Then she unconsciously touched the necklace and murmured, "I had never dreamed of having unrequited love in my life, a heartache was not in my life schedule like what I\'m having right now."

Then she heaved a long deep frustrated sigh before mumbling, "Maybe I should try opening up in front of Daryl and talk to him now about all this and see where it will lead me."

She felt crazy talking to herself like that, but then she realised that she could not easily discuss such things with her mother or even Daryl. Maybe she should visit Lana later on and consult with her in the matters pertaining to the heart.

With a sudden bright smile she scoffed, "Oh right, she\'s more experienced when it comes to this."

Luo quickly wrapped all her pending work so she could go out early and drop by Lana\'s office.

She first called Lana, inviting her for dinner and to have a little chat with her.

"Oh, I can only accompany you for one and a half hours at most so be here latest by 6 PM and let\'s have early dinner together," Lana answered on the other line. She had to go in the evening to work at the club so she could only have dinner and a quick chat with Luo. No drinking.

As soon as Luo was done, she immediately drove to a drive thru and bought dinner for her and Lana.

"Wow, you shouldn\'t have bothered about food. We could eat at a nearby restaurant," Lana said, seeing Luo had some paper bags of food in her hands when she arrived.

"You have a pantry here so we can eat there also and chat nicely."

While eating Luo would sneak glances at Lana, contemplating whether to open up her dilemma to her or not.

"Stop looking at me and burst it out. I can feel you wanna talk about something," Lana said with a grin.

Luo pouted her lips and straightforwardly mumbled, "I have a heart problem…"
