Chapter 582: I Will Take Over
As Kimmy expected, Kenzie handled all the arrangements. She ordered delivery food from known restaurants and asked her other bodyguard including her to prepare everything for a romantic candlelight dinner in her apartment.
"By the way, our Master called and he wanted to tell you not to come home this weekend since he will be away," Kimmy informed as she helped her do the table set-up.
Kenzie paused and creased her forehead, "That's strange. He used to hate it whenever I? stayed in my apartment and would always ask me to return home. How come lately, I feel like he is shooing me away from him..."
"I think Master is just applying reverse psychology on you Kenzie. The more he asks for you to stay away, the more you want to go to him right?" Kimmy replied in a jest.
"Well, it's effective because I'm getting worried about him so I will surprise him by visiting him this weekend. I also need to tell him the good news about Daryl and me," Kenzie said with a smile.
She was very excited about Daryl's answer and wanted a perfect celebration but they could only do so inside her apartment since it would be a hassle to go out with her current injury.
"Once Attorney Cha arrives I will go out for a while so that you two can have some privacy…" Kimmy teased, making Kenzie's face turn crimson red.
"You… stop that. You're making it sound like we will do something naughty," Kenzie muttered.
"You won't?" Kimmy teased more.
Kenzie wrinkled her nose and bashfully murmured, "Well I might but just a little… Uhm… Maybe only 10%? since I don't want to scare him away due to my aggressiveness."
Kimmy laughed because Kenzie was too funny. She always expressed herself. She was so jolly and a very nice person to get along with. She hoped Kenzie would never change.
Kenzie was humming a song in happiness when her mobile phone rang. She saw that it was Butler Mark and answered the call. She was about to tell him to get his father and relay the good news when she suddenly dropped her phone on the floor.
"What's wrong?" Kimmy asked.
"D-Dad... Dad is in the h-hospital… W-We have to go…" Kenzie stutteringly uttered as her face lost all color so Kimmy immediately assisted her and they headed to the hospital immediately.
"What happened?" Kenzie burst as soon as she saw butler Mark sitting beside her father in his ward.
Tears were continuously flowing down her eyes because butler Mark told her that her father was in a critical condition.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Kenzie because Master did not want you to worry. He has a brain tumor. He tried to tell you several times but he couldn't. We tried everything to stop it from growing but it didn't work. Master…" Butler Mark whispered in his cracked tone as he tried his best to suppress his tears.
"The doctor said that the only option now is to do an operation but the chance of him recovering fully without any complications is 50/50. Master delayed the operation because he didn't want to leave you before you settled down with a reliable man in case something happened to him," Butler Mark added as he looked at his Master who was still unconscious on his bed.
Kenzie, who sat on the opposite side, held her father's hand to her cheek and cried, "You silly old man. Why didn't you tell me earlier then? If only I knew then…"
She could not continue and just burst into tears. She cried her heart out as she realized how stubborn she was. She finally understood why her father wanted her to settle down because he was too worried about her in case his operation would not succeed.
"I'm sorry for worrying you so much dad… I promise I will be good from now on so that you won't have to worry about me. I will make sure that I succeed and reach new heights so please make sure you're there to see me soar high... I promise to make you the proudest father, dad," Kenzie vowed as she kissed her father's hand.
Senior Chua's assistant Chris, who was not around when the incident occurred, rushed inside the room.
"Oh God Chairman…" Cris uttered and helplessly walked towards the Chairman's bed.
Butler Mark explained the situation about how her father lost consciousness as soon as her auntie left his office. The two had debated about something which agitated him, good thing Butler Mark was always beside her father and managed to get him out of his office through his private elevator that was directly connected to the chairman's parking space.
"The company is in chaos now Kenzie. Everyone thinks that your father is no longer capable of being the CEO. Your auntie and your cousin are bribing the shareholders, convincing everyone that they are more qualified to take over the company instead of you," Cris informed Kenzie when she found time to tell her everything she needed to know because they were running out of time, looking at the Chairman's condition.
Kenzie then looked at her father and lovingly touched his face.
"Dad, do you really believe I need a man to help me keep my right and make sure I will have a bright future? I am Kenzie Chua… Your only daughter. You may think I'm weak and irresponsible and I'm sorry that I made you worry about me so much. But you don't have to worry Dad because I will show everyone what Kenzie Chua can do on her own.
I will protect everything you worked hard on, so please be healthy and well to witness that. I will bring all those bastards down so please get well soon."
Kenzie saw her father smiled as he slowly opened his eyes.
"You brat… You better keep your promise," he whispered in his weakest voice.
Kenzie nodded as tears ran down her eyes.
"You have to prepare for the operation dad…" Kenzie added and her father nodded with a wink.
"Sorry I kept this from you dear," Senior Chua whispered but Kenzie scolded him and told him to rest well. When Senior Chua was back to sleep, Kenzie had a serious talk with Cris.
"I will take over the company. Dad must only focus on his health and not worry about other things," Kenzie informed him in a firm voice.
Kimmy who witnessed it could not help but whisper to Butler Mark, "Boss looks so scary right now. Do you think she can really do it?"
Butler Mark heaved a long sigh and answered, "We will see. But Mistress Kenzie actually transforms whenever she focuses herself on her goal. She can definitely do anything she wants as long as she wants to succeed in it."
