At Sy Building.

  Lana heaved a long sigh as she once again reviewed Kyle's profile.

  Luo looked at her and asked, "What's your plan for him?"

  Lana exhaled and said, "Same as Liam. We need to keep him close and observe all his movements… So I will let him in my office and do his usual routine. I already informed Lyra about it."

  Lyra, who was taking over Lana's office for now, understood the situation. Lyra's husband Torin was her friend since the military times, so she was very alert in situations like that.

  "Well, that's better. Keep your enemies closer… If he really is an enemy. But hopefully, he's not…" Luo commented.

  Another sigh escaped Lana. She honestly liked Kyle and thought he was someone genuine towards her. She also liked how the man worked. So, it would be too disappointing if Kyle was someone who wanted to do harm to them.

  "Oh wait, he's from an orphanage and luckily got adopted by a well to do family?" Luo burst as she was reading Kyle's profile.

  Lana nodded and said, "Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Liam and Daryl are on it already. They have sent someone to that orphanage to find more about him secretly and carefully. Liam did not want to alarm Kyle, so their movements are very careful. Everything must not look like that they are investigating Kyle."

  "Oh, that type of investigation is a pain in the ass and will take time…" Luo blabbered. She hated those kinds of things the most because you have to be in disguise and carefully conducted the investigation so as not to cause any suspicions.

  "By the way… Let's take a break and talk about something else…" said Luo, who was one of the biggest gossip lovers in the world.

  "So tell me… How is uncle Ram's love life? Remember, you told me about that, Chelsy? Oh, I hope he can finally have someone deserving. He deserves to be happy?with someone instead of that Carie!"

  Lana laughed and said, "If Liam finds out that we are talking like this about his father…"

  Luo's face crumpled as she said, "Well, it's like a relaxing break to talk about exciting stuff, you know. Or else our minds will be filled with cases and boring stuff…"

  Lana laughed. She really enjoyed Luo's company and was thankful she was helping them out, not just with the serious matter, but she was also making the ambiance more refreshing.

  "You are really the best person for Noah…" Lana could not help but comment.

  "I know right. That man is so stiff, but he's changing lately… He's more vocal now. Wait, let's talk about it later. I'm really curious about uncle Ram…" Luo insisted with enthusiasm.

  "Well…… Father said Chelsy was being bullied that night. Then he helped her…" Lana narrated, since Luo was persistent to know every detail.

  "You mean she just suddenly appeared on his doorstep and offer her service to pay her debt?" Luo suddenly commented with a hesitation in her tone.

  "Hmm, I know what you're thinking. Miley said she's a genuine person, and I think so too. You can see in her eyes how sincere she was towards our father." Lana commented with a smile.

  "Mm, if you say so… I haven't met her though, but I hope she's someone who can be trusted and not just someone who has an ulterior motive," Luo murmured.

  Then she scoffed, "Geez, this is Liam's fault.?I got this from him. Getting suspicious first before trusting. That's one factor I learned from him first…"

  Lana looked straight at Luo and suddenly asked, "You see, I've been curious about this for a while, but didn't manage to ask Liam nor you. How did you and Liam meet? I mean, I don't know the story of how you two became like a team. Liam trusts you so much and you as well…"

  Luo straightened her back and said, "It's a long story…"

  She looked at the wall clock and added, "But I will make it short. Hehehe."

  "I was a prosecutor at that time at the Department of Justice. Liam was defending the assailant, and I was defending the victim that time at court…" Luo started

  "I was too emotionally attached to that victim because I really thought she was molested. She was crying and acting like she was really in trauma. But your husband, I can say, was really the best lawyer I've met… He proved that the professor was the victim.

  The woman happened to be the one stalking the professor and throwing herself at him numerous times. The professor was a married man and loyal to his wife. I'm sure you've heard about the case as it really caused a big fuss in the news… I was so young and new back then." Luo said with a sigh.

  Lana nodded because she remembered the case back then when she left the military to study economics. But she did not give particular attention to it since she hadn't considered becoming a lawyer yet.

  "I wanted to quit… I felt like I didn't deserve to be a prosecutor because I lacked a lot. Liam just slapped that on my face inside the courtroom. That I should make sure to defend a person properly or I might end up destroying one's life. That professor almost lost everything, including his family, because of my wrong accusations. Because I thought I was defending the victim instead……"

  After the trial, I sat on the bench near the office. Liam sat beside me and said… "It's okay to commit an unintentional mistake once or twice but what is important is that you learn from it and strive harder to be better because someone's lives are not a game…


  Inside the courtroom,?someone's life will be judged… So it's very important that we should be careful about our choices and the person who we should defend. Some do it for money so it doesn't matter who to defend… Asked yourself why you are doing it."

  Luo took a pause, and another sigh came out from her before she said, "After that day I reflected a lot and then decided to resign. I want to learn from him because I know I still need to learn more… So there, I ended up begging him to accept me in his firm and the rest is history. Liam helped me all those years and I really owe everything I am now to him……"
