Chapter 453: Playtoy
Chapter 453: Playtoy
The next morning, it was Daryl's day off, and he was supposed to spend it resting in his house but he got an unexpected call from his so-called 'master'.
Kenzie called him, asking to pick her up from her apartment so they could go to an amusement park for a date.
"Be here in one hour alright? I hate waiting…" Kenzie muttered with a cheerful tone. Daryl immediately took a bath and got dressed. Then he drove straight to Kenzy's apartment.
He was actually curious to know why she was living alone so as soon as she was inside his car, he asked, "How come you're not living with your father? I mean you're an heiress and it's not safe for you to be alone."
Kenzie chuckled, turned towards him, and said, "Hmm, you sound concerned. I'm pleased… Well yeah, it's not safe and who told you I don't have bodyguards? I do… Just that you won't even notice they are around since I hate them walking behind me always so they have instructions to stay in disguise."
"So you mean we are being tailed right now?" Daryl asked and Kenzie only nodded.
"At the bar… When that man was about to hit you, how come none of them came forward and stopped him?" Daryl mumbled.
"Oh, that time… I had seen you rushing towards me to help me, so I signaled them to stay put." Kenzie commented. Daryl did not even notice her men near them that night since he was too occupied in pulling her out of the disco bar.
Kenzie suddenly chuckled.
"Is there anything that's funny?" Daryl asked with knitted brows.
"Nothing…" she answered. But she recalled how her bodyguards came and begged her that night not to do such a dangerous thing ever again.
They followed her everywhere and obeyed her every command, whatever she would say and instruct would be the final words for them since she could fire them at any moment. So one sharp stare from her to them meant to stop and not meddle with the situation that she was in at that moment.
"Tell me, Daryl… Did you have any girlfriend before?"
"Didn't you do a background check on me? Why still asking?" Daryl mumbled.
"Well, you went after your colleague but was turned down. So basically you were not involved with a woman before…" Kenzie commented with a disappointed sigh.
"So?" Daryl asked in curiosity.
"That means you're still a virgin…" Kenzie directly blurted, making Daryl gulp and turn deep red in embarrassment.
The woman was totally tactless and she reminded him of Luo, a little frivolous, a little smart and lonely. A woman who did not know how to stop saying whatever was on her mind.
"And so?" he beamed as soon as he recovered his composure.
"I'm a virgin too. I would have preferred having an experienced boyfriend, but you will also do… Since you have a nice character and a good reputation."
'What's wrong with her? Is she crazy?' Daryl mused, totally caught off guard with how the conversation was going through.
"You see… In these three months, we will do what a normal boyfriend and girlfriend do. I want to experience all those things before marriage. Going on a date, being sweet, holding hands, kissing and... sex…" Kenzie commented in a serious tone and paused because she was still thinking of things she wanted to experience in a span of three months.
Daryl was completely flabbergasted that he had to stop the car at the side of the road.
He looked at Kenzie and wailed, "What is wrong with you? What are you saying?!"
Kenzie blinked at him and snorted, "Didn't you hear me? I believe I'm loud and clear enough."
"Yeah, but what absurd set-up is that? Didn't we just agree that I will only pretend for two months?" Daryl beamed with wrinkled lines on his forehead.
"Precisely. You will just pretend… Pretend to do what normal couples do." Kenzie stated.
She heaved a deep sigh and whispered, "If you don't want to do it. I won't force you to. You always have a choice Daryl, and I can always find a man who will hopefully be willing to do it with me."
"I really don't understand why you have to do that Kenzie. You're young, beautiful, and rich. You can absolutely have any man, so why do you have to be like this?" Daryl burst, still not able to believe what Kenzie was bargaining for.
Any man would feel honored with what she was asking but he was not just any random man. He was a thorough gentleman and though it was contrasted with what people think of him… He was actually a conservative type of man despite his cool and approachable aura.
Kenzie pressed her lips together then another sigh came out of her mouth before she whispered, "I have my reasons Daryl and I don't have plans of telling you about it. I thought you would be cool about all that, so I did not specify it when I asked you that night. I assumed you get it as a whole package when you said you'll take that deal."
"Let's just go back. No, my bodyguards are not far. I will get off from here," Kenzie added.
Daryl looked at the rearview mirror and then realized that the other car also stopped not far from them.
"Stay in your seat. I will bring you back to your apartment Kenzie… and let's talk seriously there." Daryl said with a serious tone before he stepped on the gas to go back to the road.
Somehow he would not want Kenzie to get a replacement and threw herself to some other man because she looked desperate for it. He would think of another way where both of them could work together and he could save Kenzie from ruining her innocence just because she wanted some experience before marriage.
He sneaked glances at Kenzie, who was suddenly quiet, sitting on the passenger seat. He wondered what was really going on with her to say such things. He agreed with her at first because he thought she just needed to save her face since her arranged marriage with Liam was turned down by Liam.
Was there any valid reason for her to ask him to do something absurd like acting like a couple for real, though it was still a fake agreement? Or was she just bored with her heiress life that she wanted to play and chose him as her playtoy?
If it was the latter then the woman beside him needed a good scolding for being an immature spoiled brat!
