The Law of Attraction

Chapter 188: More Miserable Than A Living Hell

At Yu Building.

Noah was holding a meeting with all his senior managers and was looking at their progress reports. He took emphasis on making their legal firm the best in the country and he wanted to expand its services worldwide. His main target was to get all important and prestigious clients and companies in their country first and soon in the world.

"Im sorry, boss. But right now, Sy\'s law firm is handling most of the clients and all those companies…" one of his senior managers started commented.

Noah\'s eyebrows arched and with a stern face simply stated, "Such a laid back attitude is harmful for my company. That\'s why I prefer aggressive and confident members in my team, who know how to get the impossible tasks done."

Then he looked at his secretary and instructed, "Transfer him to a different department. Much far away from my sight."

The manager\'s face paled. He was newly appointed in the company and was not very much familiar with the way of working of the CEO. The other managers had briefed him about how strict and a perfectionist their Chairman and CEO were, but he did not expect that there would be this much pressure.

The CEO\'s assistant approached him and whispered, "Mr. Kim, please follow me…"

Mr. Kim gulped and followed the CEO\'s assistant.

Everyone in the room sighed silently. CEO Noah Yu was known to be a certified devil in disguise. Behind his soft facial features and smiling face hid an extremely manipulative and domineering person. His old acquaintances and employees were all well aware of his personality. The CEO strived to be the best in whatever thing he would put his hands in.

After the meeting, almost all officers released a mouthful of air as soon as CEO Noah Yu left the meeting room with his secretary and assistant.

Noah headed back to his office and looked at his assistant Craig as soon as he was on his seat.

"Any update? I hope we have succeeded in poaching the most important key personnels from the Sy firm." He asked. Others might think he was too cunning but this was how business worked for him. He always gambled with offers just to make sure he got important and competent people under his wings.

"Yes… so far we have managed to poach a few but most of the others are very loyal and do not want to shift sides and then there are a few others… like Attorney Luo… a very important resource in Sy firm, who are still not answering concretely. She had been approached a few times by us and every time she said that she was still thinking about the offer but I feel like she is waiting for us to offer a higher package…"

Noah\'s eyebrows snapped together at that. He had heard about Luo, she was comparable to Liam Sy himself inside the courtroom. And probably better on top of that since she was a prosecutor before.

"Then give her another lucrative offer… As long as we get her…money is not a hurdle Once she signs the contract… I will make her work double to compensate for the high pay she will get from us." Noah chimed.

His smile turned into a smirk when he thought how greed for money could make a loyal employee also change their sides.

His eyes gave off a cold vibe and even his assistant felt a shudder down his spine. Their attention was distracted by the ringing of Noah\'s mobile phone. Seeing the caller ID, he quickly answered it.

"Sir… as you suspected. She\'s lurking with Attorney Sy." The man on the other line reported. Noah hummed and gave further instructions before ending the call.

His gaze wandered and fixed in a particular direction, looking there Noah smirked then shook his head. He kept a scornful grin on his face as he whispered, "You wanna play cat and mouse with me, huh. I will soon make your life more miserable than a living hell."

Craig heaved a silent sigh watching the hatred in his boss\' eyes. The two men were suddenly pulled out of their own thoughts when the door suddenly opened and a beautiful figure dashed in.

"Brooo… get up... Let\'s have lunch together!" Brione excitedly burst out.

Craig smiled at the bright and glowing face of the superstar who greeted him.

"I\'ll go ahead." Craig quickly left the room as soon as Noah dismissed him.

Noah\'s dark face a while ago suddenly brightened, seeing his little sister ready to bug him again today. She was the only person who could bug him anytime however busy he was.

"Alright… Where do you wanna eat today?"

Brione\'s face twitched as she said, "Let\'s check some restaurant near STAN university since I have a shoot there in two hours for my new drama."

"Hmm, is Gavin not available today that\'s why you\'re here?" Noah teased when Brione pulled him out of his office.

Brione\'s face crumpled as she complained, "that man… I feel like he\'s distancing himself from me or maybe he just wants some space like he said…"

Noah chuckled and taunted, "I believe he had finally gotten tired of you…"

Why wouldn\'t anyone be, when his dear sister had friendzoned the man…

"Nah, he won\'t. You may get tired of me someday, but Gavin will not." Brione strongly declared.

"Hmm. We\'ll see…"

The siblings then found a good restaurant near the university. As usual, Brione wore her shawl and had wrapped it to her head and rounded it on her neck and then wore shades not to catch too much attention from the public.

Inside the restaurant, she saw a familiar face and quickly ran towards that table…

"Lana!" She excitedly greeted her.

Lana was startled but stood up to welcome the open arms of Brione whom she recognized instantly because of that beautiful charming smile on her face. She had never seen anyone naturally smile that beautiful and perfectly.

"Join us for lunch…" Lana invited and Brione hesitantly looked at Liam.

"Ohhh sorry… Let me introduce you two," Lana apologized then introduced Brione to Liam and vice versa.

"Is it okay to join you guys?" Brione asked, looking at Liam who nodded and gave her a smile.

Then she looked at her back for her brother who just arrived near her.

"Bro, let\'s join Lana for lunch…"

Noah greeted Lana then looked at Liam and asked, "are you sure? We can get another table if you\'re uncomfortable?"
