Chapter 180: Trust And Friendship

Lana was overwhelmed to see Torin as the person whom they were meeting, so she rushed and hugged him tightly. He was one of her trainers and comrades while she was in the military, and they shared a very good rapport.

"Ohhhh! It feels like ages since we have met!" she mumbled, but she felt a sudden coldness on her back and realised something was off. And that was then when they heard Liam cough several times, so Lana released Torin in haste, realising the freezing atmosphere in the private room by someone's jealousy.

"Wow, you look more beautiful than the last time I saw you. You're no longer a snob that you were before!" Torin commented with a tease.

Lana laughed and said, "I have improved quite a lot, right? Haha… Look at you… I heard you have been promoted and are a General now. I'm so proud of you General!"

Torin gave her a wink, but then the two heard another, louder cough.

*Cough *Cough

Torin then turned to look at Liam and smiled.

"Oh, Attorney Liam Sy, right? I'm sorry, I just met with her unexpectedly after a long time so… I'm Torin. Something came up with the Field Marshal so he asked me to give you the files you needed instead, since it's a confidential matter and we could not let just anyone hand them to you." Torin explained, but he felt that he also should explain about him and Lana further, looking at the killing intent in those glaring eyes of Liam directed at him.

He had a very good sixth sense, so he knew what that look from a man meant.

"Are you two an item?" he asked bluntly.

"No!" Lana burst in chorus with Liam's firm answer as "Yes!"

Torin felt confused and looked at Lana and Liam alternately. Lana said no but Liam said yes so he presumed their relationship was in a complicated stage.

"Oh, whatever, but I feel like Atty. Liam here is going to kill me anytime." Torin said in a jest with a grin, turning his gaze at Lana.

Then he shifted his eyes back to Liam and explained further, "Me and Lana met in the military and had been in the same missions together so we are pretty much close. So relax bro, I'm just Lana's friend. A comrade on top of that. You do know she went in the military, right?"

Liam then recalled the man as Keira said to be the one who tried to pursue and get near Lana.

"I heard you have tried hard to get near her." Liam whispered.

"Liam?!" Lana scolded. She could not believe how childish Liam was acting, mentioning unnecessary things from the past!

Torin laughed out loud and said, "Yeah, that's true, but Lana always avoided me. Anyway, I believe we have to discuss several important matters right now so can we get to it Attorney Sy? Later we can probably clear things out regarding Lana."

Lana wanted to hit Liam's head for overreacting so she commented, "Yeah, let's do that. And please don't mind Liam. He just wants to irritate me as much as he can."

Torin shook his head as he talked about the topic at hand.

"So here is the list you needed with complete contact details." Torin stated and handed over the list to Liam. They needed the locations and other contact of several people and also needed some information and do some contract tracing and find out the whereabouts of the people that Liam suspected could be responsible or had a connection for Gilbert's death.

They had lunch after the important information exchange regarding the case. Lana asked about Torin's wife and Liam gulped hearing that Torin was already married. He felt so embarrassed for his behaviour with him. He had never experienced being possessive like this before, had never felt jealous for anyone like how he was feeling for Lana.

"You should have mentioned earlier about my wife and daughter so our Liam here did not have to kill me with his eyes. Geez, I'm so worried I will get indigestion while I'm eating lunch honestly."

Liam slightly bowed his head and focussed on eating his dessert.

Lana laughed at that while Liam pursed his lips. After some time, Torin bid them his farewell first, and Lana and Liam stayed inside the restaurant to finish their desserts while discussing the contract tracing of the persons in the list.

"Torin looks nice and full of humor…. How come he did not manage to get your attention that time?" Lana heard Liam ask.

"I hate men Liam." Lana plainly answered, eyes still on the lists.

"I guess I'm lucky you did not hate me." Liam teased. He felt so blissful that he was an exemption to all the male species in Lana's eyes.

"I will check these persons here…" Lana whispered as she chose some of those contact persons she thought she could handle easily.

Lana ignored his teasing and changed the topic as usual. It had become her habit lately, she would totally avoid emotional and serious talks about their relationship. Liam chose not to continue as well whenever Lana would change the topic like.

"No way!" Liam instead complained about her comment on choosing the people in the list she would personally reach. He would not dare involve Lana with actual encounters with any of those people, since obviously one of them was responsible for Gilbert's killing and could be really dangerous..

"If you will not allow me to experience this, then I will ban you from sleeping on my bed from now on." Lana blackmailed him without batting an eye, intently staring at him.

Liam's face darkened as he complained, "How long do you plan to blackmail me with your bed? Lana, I can't believe you're doing this to me."

Lana smirked and replied, "As long as it's effective, I guess. Well… I will keep on blackmailing you and do that over and over again."

Liam's crumpled face made her chuckle, so she added, "Don't worry okay I'm a fighter remember? I might be even better than you since I have trained in the military. If you want, then you can choose the people whom I should look for."

Liam's brows knitted as he challenged, "I doubt you're better than me, Mrs. Sy. Later, after we reach home, I will make sure to show you who is better."

Lana blushed when she understood the underlying meaning of his words and shouted, "No way… let's just focus on this list right now since it's work hours, so be professional attorney Sy. The names I selected should be alright as I have already checked them and they are good for me to handle." she insisted.

Lana grinned as she looked at Liam with conflicted expression while checking the lists. She loved their relationship right now. It was very comfortable to have such a warm and friendly atmosphere with Liam around, and not to mention the two of them jived so well nowadays in all aspects. They got to know each other more and Lana could feel how trust and friendship were building up between them gradually.
