Chapter 238: Relaxed And Rejuvenated
Liam drove directly to his office after he made sure Lana had entered her designated room, and it surprised him to see Luo sitting so early in his office sitting on the couch while having her coffee.
"You're back so soon?" he asked in a surprised tone, because he thought it would take her at least a week to settle everything at Yao legal firm and report back at Sy Law firm.
Luo laughed and said, "Yeah… Why do you look surprised? Aren't you happy to see me back earlier than you thought? Did you think Noah would be able to get a hold of me?"
Liam sat on the couch opposite to her and said, "Well… He definitely won't let things slide easily."
"Yeah. I also told him the truth, the real reason why I joined his firm, so he probably might be thinking that you're an insecure and immature husband for sending me to spy there because of your wife."
Liam laughed and said, "He should have known by now that you're the most clever woman in the world…"
Luo shrugged her shoulders showing her prideful acceptance of his words. She did not care what others thought of her at all as long as what she was doing was not against any of her principles and hurt anyone or stomping onto others just for fun.
"He can be a handful, but I could manage him well. Anyways, I have settled everything there including the amount of the contract breach and I will 'OUCH' for you for the amount you lost."
Liam chuckled and said, "It's nothing. It's because I wanted to protect my wife no matter where she goes, so losing that tiny bit of money is nothing compared to her safety… Besides… something good between us happened, so don't worry about it."
"But…… it was my idea. Anyway, I will make it up to you and bring you more money very soon." Luo commented as she stood up and left Liam's office.

Meanwhile, Lana felt so exhausted after the exam ended. She racked almost all her brain out to answer the questions given in the paper. She looked so wretched as she walked out of the university and went where Liam was waiting.
Liam smiled and asked, "What's with this kind of face? Was it hard?"
Lana weakly looked at him and nodded. Liam opened the door for her and said, "Get in… I will make you happy now."
She felt completely drained and immediately went inside the car. During the drive Lana told Liam how some questions almost made her brain explode and that time she thought of him just as he had advised, but still the answer would not pop up for some questions she found really hard that made Liam laugh hard.
"Hey stop laughing…" Lana mumbled with pouty lips. "Hmm, you did well by thinking of me, you know. I bet those answers will be all lucky guesses and all correct since I'm your lucky charm."
"Oh… I'm just glad it's finally over. Now, all I need? to do is wait for the result." Lana murmured. Yes, the exam was hard, but somehow she was confident that she did well and hopefully would pass it with flying colors.
"Where are we going?" Lana asked, seeing they were going into a different direction.
"You did so well and had a hard time focusing for the exam and before that in the review centre. It's time you relax yourself and have some fun." Liam commented.
"At this hour?" Lana murmured, looking at her wristwatch. It was late noon already.
"Yeah. I'll bring you to a spa. I wanted to massage you myself so you can relax, but the thing is that I might end up consuming the remaining energy in you and drain you more." Liam explained.
They soon entered the entry of a well known hotel in the Capital City. Lana could not help but smile seeing how thoughtful her husband was to think about all this when she herself did not even bother to go to any spa at all.
"You know… It's actually my first time entering a spa." Lana whispered as Liam held her hand as they walked from the parking lot to go inside the wellness hotel.
"For real?" Liam asked in disbelief. But then he thought that with Lana's personality it was very much possible since she was a simple and practical person who did not indulge herself to enjoy much of the luxurious life she had.
"Yeah."
"Hmm. You will like it and feel relaxed and rejuvenated for sure. I have booked the same room for me also so we'll be together during the massage session also." Liam said as he gently kissed her hand.
"I have noticed that you like the public display of affection too much…" Lana could not help but comment.
"Does it bother you?" Liam suddenly asked, worried. He did not know about it, but he just loved getting too clingy with Lana whenever he could. He did not mind other's eyes staring at them since he was really proud of his wife, but then he forgot that not all people would feel the same. His wife might feel uncomfortable with that attitude of his.
"Nope… I like it… Just that I noticed it." Lana said, chuckling.
The hotel was luxurious and their spa area was a sanctuary of natural therapies and tailored treatments. There were hot stone massages, cocoons, body polish and acupressure. Liam chose a private and exclusive room for them with great ambiance that would help Lana relax.
Lana did enjoy it very much and felt as if all her muscles had relaxed and all the tiredness had been removed from each and every cell of her body. She fell asleep by the time all the therapies ended. Liam transferred her to the bed.
"She's really tired…" he whispered thinking how Lana's last month and a half had been a very hectic time. The review was a pressure to be honest because he himself had experienced the same at his time.
He was too busy staring at Lana's beauty when his mobile phone rang. He immediately picked it up.
"Oh I got it. I'm with my wife right now. How about you two come here and I'll introduce you to her. Let's also have dinner together." Liam suggested to his cousin Ryu.
It seemed his cousin had something important to discuss. He had booked their room for three nights so Lana could relax and enjoy since travelling abroad would be impossible at this point because of some important matters he needed to settle first.
