Lana got ready the next morning and reported early in the office. As soon as she stepped in the office she was startled to see Liam already sitting on his chair and reading the files.

  'He's arrived so early today! Probably he wanted to check if I have really kept those summaries or was just faking it. Is he not going to be happy after reading such an excellent summary for each case?' she mused.

  "Good morning. You've arrived very early." she casually greeted him. Liam stopped reading the reports and looked at her. His eyes opened a little wider and scanned her from head to toe.

  Lana slightly flinched, seeing his deep gaze at her with an unpleasant expression on his face. She was wearing a flower print choker bell sleeve blouse with a dark green pencil skirt that exposed her long sexy legs.

  The cut in her skirt was higher compared to the previous outfits she wore to office. Lana liked to wear dresses which showed off her slender legs as her friends often praised her legs and suggested her to wear dresses emphasizing more on her legs.

  "Do you see lawyers wearing a skirt with that kind of length?" she heard Liam comment after that quick scanning glance on her, turning his eyes back on the documents he was reading.

  Lana felt chilliness spread around and she was sure that came from the icy aura of the man. It was too early, and yet he seemed to be in a grim mood again.

  'Is he trying to control the way I dress?'

  Annoyed with his remark, she raised her brow and simply retorted, "Yeah… Me……"

  She was going to be a lawyer soon, but she considered herself as one already. What she wore was decent and in accordance to her preference, so what was the problem with the grumpy man? How could he judge her wrongly from her clothes?

  Liam was almost thirty-one if she remembered right, so maybe that was why he was a bit conservative in his approach.

  'Huh! Generation gap… is it?' she laughed inwardly on this thought.

  She heard no response from Liam so she headed directly to her area. She pretty much liked her today's outfit, one because Keira particularly chose this one and a lot more of all her outfits for wearing during the internship besides she found them all pretty and nice.

  "Don't tell me he will be that same grumpy man again just because of my lovely outfit…" Lana unconsciously mumbled while adjusting her skirt as she sat on her chair.

  Mian informed her that Liam would head out soon, it upset her thinking his heading out would again mean that she should stay inside the boring office, doing the same desk job.

  She was suddenly startled when her telephone rang loudly. She quickly answered, seeing it was Liam appearing in the caller ID.

  Lana bit her lip, waiting for another blow to come from him.

  "I will head out after around an hour. You will come with me, so be ready in time." she heard Liam said before cutting the line.

  "Seriously? Okay yes, I will be ready." She then put the phone down and shouted, "Yes… I'm going out finally!" Lana could not help but cheer.

  Minutes past, Lana would check the time every once in a while and when it was almost past one hour, she immediately stood up and went out of her office.

  "I'm ready…" she told Liam enthusiastically, all in high spirits. Liam looked at her vibrant attitude and felt a gush of fresh air pass through him. His such feelings surprised him. He flicked his head as he stood up from his chair.

  Lana followed him and wondered where Jorge was, so she asked, "Jorge will not come with us?"

  "Why would he? You will replace Jorge in assisting me whenever I bring you with me." Liam answered.

  'What a robot.' Lana mused. Lately she had upgraded herself in giving various names to Liam with unusual words.

  They went out to meet the clients and some witnesses to a few complex cases, unable to go to Liam's office because they were afraid of their safety or were ill or in the hospital.

  One witness they visited was still a student in the school, and Liam invited the highschool boy to the nearest coffee shop. Two of his friends accompanied him. They sat down opposite Liam and Lana.

  The interaction with the boy went on for a little more than half an hour and Liam's sharp orbs noticed the young boys' gazes landed at Lana's legs. He was frustrated with the kind of smile that crept up on one of a smart young boy's lips, who even tried to know more about Lana in between the conversation.

  Liam never felt so annoyed before, ever in his entire life like now.

  Lana nonchalantly talked to those boys like there was nothing unusual and this made Liam more frustrated.

  As they headed back inside the car, Liam could not help but say, "Next time wear something more comfortable when we go out for field work."

  'How can she not notice her long slender legs catch the attention of everyone, even those high school boys, who were ready to flirt with her!'

  "But I'm comfortable with what I'm wearing…" Lana contorted with a twitched lip.

  'I'm uncomfortable with it!' Liam wanted to voice out but heaved a deep sigh instead.

  Liam closed his eyes and inhaled deeply to calm himself down a little before he spoke, "I will only say this once, Lana… Mian will arrange a closet in your area by tomorrow where you can put a few suitable outfits to wear whenever we are heading out to visit the clients. I don't want clients getting disturbed by looking at your legs instead of focussing on my questions! If you can't do it, then stay in the office only and continue doing the desk job!" Liam firmly declared.

  Lana felt bad when he put words to all that happened in the coffee shop and wanted to bash him back, but she could feel the seriousness of Liam's words, so she no longer debated with him.

  "Isn't it the detective's work to do some questioning and find out the facts like that?" Lana asked him, diverting the atmosphere in a different direction

  "What if there is something missing in the police reports… Sometimes under pressure or due to bribes they happen to not include a few important minor details in the FR. You have to go through every detail directly if you want to win a case. Sometimes you even need to disguise and follow the witnesses or the culprits just to get the missing link. We do that if it's needed…" Liam explained and emphasized, "That's why I told you to wear something comfortable next time, like pants."

  "That's okay I can disguise myself in shorts. I really hate wearing pants Liam." Lana muttered coquettishly. She was uncomfortable with pants, especially the jeans because she always felt that she was not blessed with good looking buttocks. She always wore the clothes that would make people look at other parts of her body but not buttocks, and jeans or pants with, do just the opposite

  Liam's nostrils were flaring already. He looked at Lana and grunted, "I really hate women wearing shorts and mini skirts!"

  Lana's left brow lifted while she answered, "So?"

  "Then stay in the office and do more desk work…" Liam nonchalantly murmured. "I need not to bring a stubborn intern out on fieldwork with me…"
