The Law of Attraction

Chapter 618: Strikes Of Shamelessness

Kenzie could not stop herself from smiling widely while walking towards Daryl's office.

She saw Bunny and the latter said, "It's nice to see you again Miss Kenzie. He's already expecting you so you can go inside…"

"Thank you Bunny, nice to see you again too," Kenzie said with a wink before she walked inside Daryl's office.

"You got a new assistant?" she asked as she comfortably sat on Daryl's couch. Daryl stood up from his chair and sat on the opposite couch.

"Yeah, did you not see her outside? She's sitting beside Bunny. Do you want some coffee?" Daryl asked.

"No, I'm good. She's not there… Probably in the restroom. How come her office is outside?" she asked with a teasing grin. She felt happy that she was the only one Daryl allowed to stay inside his own space.

"I learned my lesson after letting you work inside my office. I had such a traumatic experience that I want to keep my privacy intact…" Daryl casually commented, making Kenzie's face crumple.

Daryl tried his best not to smile seeing Kenzie's sulky expression.

"What is the matter you want to discuss?" he asked, diverting her to the important topic at hand.

Kenzie twitched her mouth and mumbled, "Hmmm, aren't you happy to see me at all? Anyway, I'm here to talk about business. I already talked to Liam about it. Actually, Sarah needed time to prepare for her upcoming wedding with Kyle so I will need you to replace her while she's not available."

"Alright. I will talk to her about it and get all the information I need to know. Is that all?" Daryl asked next.

"You mean you agree?" Kenzie exclaimed.

"Yeah, why? You don't want me to?" Daryl countered with a grin. He was honestly busy but he personally wanted to handle Kenzie's matters. He would just ask for assistance from a trusted colleague about it.

"Will I personally come here to see you if I didn't want to be with you? I mean hire you as Sarah's substitute," Kenzie murmured. Then she added, "Do you want to grab some dinner with me?"

Daryl heaved a sigh and said, "I can't do that Kenzie… I have to pack my clothes and other things since I'm planning to move back to the mansion. My father is sick so I want to personally be with and foresee his health."

"Oh, then I can help you out with packing. Let's just order some take-out food to your apartment," Kenzie excitedly offered, making Daryl frown.

"Aren't you busy these days? Are you sure you have time to waste?" Daryl mumbled.

"It's okay I have lots of time. Besides, I've been exhausted lately so I want to unwind by being with you," she candidly said not minding Daryl's usual stiff expression. She could already read him like an open book, her Mr. Denial King. She wondered how long he planned on denying his own feelings for her though.

"I'll just pack my things," Daryl answered and quickly got up to put some documents inside his suitcase.

"Let's go together…" Kenzie said with a beautiful smile. Soon they left Sy Building and were already on the road. Kenzie creased her forehead when she noticed that they seemed to be heading on a different route.

"This is not the way to your apartment," she said out loud.

"Yeah, let's have some dinner first, then I will bring you back home afterward," Daryl replied. He could not trust himself nor his self-control around Kenzie especially if they were alone so it would be best if they have dinner outside before taking her home.

"But… You said you had lots of packing to do and I wanna help," Kenzie insisted. She wanted to be with him alone so that she could shamelessly tease him and do whatever she liked in his apartment for at least three hours before she went back to her father and slept in the hospital room.

"It's okay Kenzie, I can do it myself after we eat dinner… I prefer doing it alone. Besides, I will just need to pack some of my clothes… It's not like I will take all my things from my apartment to the mansion," Daryl said with a chuckle.

Kenzie only sighed and disappointingly whispered, "Alright then. Having dinner with you and spending such a short time is good enough. Besides, we will both be very busy so it won't be good to start flirting with you if I can't do it full time."

Daryl could feel his cheeks turned red. He was already used to Kenzie's boldness but more often than not he was still caught off guard due to her sudden strikes of shamelessness.

Kenzie had a naughty smile, seeing Daryl try his best to maintain his blank expression. Her mobile phone suddenly rang and she picked up the call after seeing that it was Cris.

"Hello Ma'am, I'm sorry for disturbing you but Mr. Harry Cha called again, trying to get an appointment with you. He said he wanted to personally congratulate you. He was also here a while ago at your office with a bouquet of flowers…" Cris reported.

"Harry? Oh okay...Send me a picture of the flowers… Make sure to put it in a vase and tell him I thank him for his good thoughts. Also about the appointment, check my schedule and if there's an open slot for lunch then put him there," Kenzie answered in the other line.

Meanwhile, Daryl who was eavesdropping felt his face turn dark when he heard Harry's name. Flowers? Harry probably sent flowers to congratulate Kenzie but here he was empty-handed. He honestly wanted to congratulate Kenzie as well but he didn't want to do it before hearing the news from her first because he did not want Kenzie to know that he was stalking her.

Seems like his stepbrother will not back down even after he warned him saying that Kenzie was his woman.

Kenzie looked sideways and noticed the changes in Daryl's aura so she clarified, "I need to meet Harry to discuss something. They are actually asking for an investment and I'm not sure if it is connected to Cha Group. Since you decided to go back to your father, does that mean that you will be a part of Cha Group from now on? I mean will you actively participate in company matters?"

"No, I'm just going home to check on my father Kenzie. I don't want to get involved with the company," Dary uttered.

"Hmm, anyway, I will let you know whatever it is that your stepbrother is planning…"

"Hmm thank you… Why go out for lunch when you can just meet him formally in your office to talk about business?!" Daryl unconsciously asked with a crumpled face.
