Chapter 552: Helpless
Chapter 552: Helpless
Daryl gritted his teeth and gave Liam a fiery glare before finishing his tea and getting up to go back. As he reached the door he halted and turned around and said to Liam, "Ohhh! By the way, not everybody is as generous as Mr. Sy, who waited one whole year just to be seduced and assaulted by her every day!"
Liam froze on his words and before he could pick anything and throw it on Daryl, the brute ran out and immediately closed the door behind him.
"That bastard… I smell something fishy. Let's see how you will handle it… or should I say babysit your new assistant?" Liam mumbled with a twitched mouth.

Daryl, with dropped shoulders, walked with heavy footsteps back to his office. These were the annoying consequences of having a boss to follow.
"Maybe I should just resign and put up my own firm!" he scorned before he entered his office.
As soon as he entered, his eyes widened when he couldn't spot the documents on his table. Where did they disappear?
Kenzie greeted him brightly and proudly said, "I took the opportunity to clean your room while you were away since everything was so messed up."
She took the initiative, seeing all the documents scattered on his table and some were even on the floor. She was smiling widely towards Daryl, feeling proud and expecting the latter to feel satisfied with what she had done.
"No!!!" Daryl beamed as he went over again with the files as if he was looking into some important things.
"Damn! I will have to go over again in each file! Why do you have to mess up everything! That's how I work!" he hissed while looking at the documents.
He heard no response from Kenzie so he turned around and gulped, seeing how Kenzie's eyes were swelling as she tried to control her emotions.
'Oh my God. Is she about to burst in tears?' he thought in panic. And like what he predicted, tears started running down on Kenzie's cheeks. She was sobbing as she whispered, "I'm sorry Daryl. I did not know. I thought, I did good by organizing it."
Daryl's shoulders dropped. It was one of his weaknesses. Seeing a woman cry. He hated it that he inwardly cursed himself for making Kenzie cry thinking he probably went overboard with his reaction.
"I'm sorry… I did not mean to yell, Kenzie. It's just that, I already separated files that I'm done with and pointed up key points. That's why you see some post it on the sides…" Daryl unknowingly explained.
Kenzie raised her head and pouted her lips.
'Oh... my...God...' he weakly mused. He suddenly felt like he committed a grave crime seeing the weak facial expression of Kenzie as if she was hardly scolded and he was the culprit.
Kenzie bit her bottom lip and whispered, It's okay. It's because I'm not used to getting yelled at but then I understand that it is sometimes needed for work. I guess I'm just too sensitive. I will remember everything well and do better next time so please let it pass this time. I know I need to learn a lot and I'm not really a qualified one for this position since I lack experience but I will do my best to be your assistant. The best assistant you will ever have for three months…"
Daryl gulped in disbelief as Kenzie bowed her head and added, "Please be lenient with me. Oh no, be fair with me. You can scold me if I do wrong so I can be better. I will do my best, Boss Daryl. Just tell me everything…"
Daryl helplessly slumped on his couch while he still stared at Kenzie in disbelief. He wanted to slap himself and see that everything was just a dream but then he knew he could not change a thing since his Big Boss let this happen and as his employee, he could only obey.
"Go to Bunny and ask her everything you need to know…" he instructed with a helpless tone. Yes, he would use the word 'helpless' all over again because that was his situation… Helpless.
'Should I just go back and take my right to become a Boss of my own company?' he mused annoyingly.
Raising her head back up, Kenzie excitedly cheered, "Thank you, Daryl!"
She stared at Daryl smiling sweetly.
'Holy moly!' Daryl cursed for getting smitten at that moment with Kenzie's beautiful face. His eyes lowered his gaze to her beautiful lips,? smiling so prettily at him.
'Torture alert!' His inner self reminded him because he was again having flashbacks of 'the kiss'... the intimate kissing the two of them shared… Kenzie's luscious lips. It was his first time and he wondered if the lips of all women were as sexy, voluptuous, and delicious as those of Kenzie's.
'Damn!' Another curse came out of him as he realized that he was having a daydream like a pervert at that moment.
"Go now…" He suddenly jolted and Kenzie gave him one last beautiful smile with a nod before rushing outside to go to Bunny.
"Sexy, voluptuous, and delicious?!" He scoffed to himself as soon as Kenzie was out. Daryl even hit his lips with his palm as if he was scolding them.
He wondered if he became a pervert now, having a taste of a woman's lips. He was a virgin and he was proud of it. He ought to give himself only to his future wife.
'But your lips are no longer virgin!' His own self countered, mocking him like crazy.
Daryl grabbed his hair annoyingly before he stood up to collect the files that Kenzie had nicely organized. It was all indeed arranged nicely.
"Damn!" he beamed, feeling weak just looking at the files he had to go through once again. He was in deep thoughts, that he almost jumped off his feet when he heard a whisper in his ear saying, "Tell me how to arrange it back…"
He turned and his face almost brushed on Kenzie that he immediately moved and stuttered, "Hey, you're too close! Why are you back? I told you to go to Bunny."
Kenzie smiled and said, "I forgot my bag. I need to jot down notes. My notebook and ballpen are there."
Kenzie winked at him before she casually turned, grabbed her bag, and headed back to the door.
"He's blushing… It's a good sign…" Kenzie whispered squealing as soon as she was out.
