The Law of Attraction

Chapter 504: You Can’t Run Away From Me

At Chua Residence

"The election is nearing and I don\'t know who to vote for dad," Kenzie nonchalantly commented during breakfast, making her father crease his forehead.

"When will you have enough knowledge about the world Kenzie? How long do you want me to make the decisions for you? When will you stop relying on me and take decisions on your own?" he scolded.

Kenzie pouted her lips and answered, "Don\'t parents know what is best for their children? You are a reliable father so I will be an obedient daughter."

"If I tell you to jump off a building… Will you do it?" Senior Chua mumbled with a wry tone.

Kenzie laughed and said with a grin, "Why are you so serious Dad? Don\'t worry. I\'m improving and being productive now. You\'ll see… In the next six months, I will be the best version of Kenzie Chua, who has a steel heart and an iron fist in the investment world. You will not have to worry about me at all."

"Yeah by working at Sy Law firm for three months? You even chose a firm where everyone knows you making you untouchable and you think I applaud you for that? I hope you will enjoy and learn a lot there then and when you come back… you are more ready to face reality and take over the company. If you really don\'t want me to marry you off to someone who is capable of taking care of your future, then you should start being independent," Senior Sy mumbled.

"Dad, even if I won\'t learn anything there, at least I will be able to enjoy my freedom for a few months. Geez, just the thought of me handling such a huge company of ours makes my head hurt. Don\'t worry, after six months I will really become serious about the business so let\'s forget the t marriage talk because I intend to choose who I want to marry.

By the way, be lenient with Liam and bring back his clients as you promised him for allowing me to work in his firm. Don\'t make enemies with the best legal firm in our country alright? Who knows, you might end up getting help from them someday.

You promised to give me six months to do whatever it is that I want, so I will make the most of it, and let\'s not talk about family business until then" Kenzie enthusiastically commented. Her face suddenly blushed and his father could sense what her daughter was thinking.

Her daughter specifically asked to be assigned with Daryl Cha and he was no longer surprised why.

"You\'re playing… with fire…" he said with a sigh. He was worried because Kenzie was already a woman and yet acted like a child. He actually had a lot of regrets and one of them was pampering and spoiling his only daughter too much… And now he was too worried about what would happen when the day came where he had to leave her...

Kenzie timidly looked at her father and defended, "Don\'t worry dad. I will not get burnt from the fire. Who knows, you might end up getting the son-in-law that you wanted so much… quicker than you expected."

Senior Chua only shook his head and pleaded once more, "Can you try learning more about the business dear? Instead of wasting your time in another company, why not try spending the time there to learn our business. When I\'m gone… All of these will be yours but with your capabilities… You will only lose everything to the wolves in one snap!"

Kenzie pouted her lips and whined like a child, "But you want me to handle everything and you know I can\'t. I asked you to let me work as a small-time employee but you refused. Dad, it\'s not really for me. You know my head hurts handling myself and you want me to handle the whole group? Please Stop bringing this up since we already agreed?that you will let me be for six months."

His father was to say more but Kenzie quickly stood up and kissed him on the cheeks. With her beautiful smile, she said, "Spare yourself from scolding me, dad. I have to leave now. I don\'t want to be late for work on my first day. See you later."

Senior Chua sighed as he shouted, "Vote for Troy Chan tomorrow!"

"I will dad," Kenzie answered while walking out from the dining area. Soon Kenzie arrived at Sy Building.

She smiled sweetly as she excitedly entered the building wearing her glamorous dress. She was escorted to Liam\'s office first.

"I can\'t believe your father convinced me to do this. Why do I feel like there is something going on behind this special request," Liam mumbled as he shook his head.

"Nah,?you don\'t need to think about it and let me start working now Attorney Sy. If you will look at it, you at least owe me this for turning me down like that. You hurt my ego you know…" Kenzie mumbled with pouty lips, making Liam chuckle.

"Alright, I will personally escort you there," Liam said as he stood up because he wanted to see how Daryl would react.

Kenzie smiled and excitedly followed Liam as they walked out of his office. Liam personally introduced her to important officers and Kenzie greeted them well. Daryl\'s office was also shifted to the same floor as Liam.

Daryl had a secretary and Liam introduced her to Kenzie, "Bunny, this is Kenzie… Starting today, she will be Daryl\'s personal assistant."

Bunny smiled and said, "Oh yes, Sir Daryl was aware that the personal assistant will come. Oh, but we thought it would be a man. Anyway, we welcome you to our firm Miss Kenzie."

"I will introduce her to Daryl," Liam commented and guided Kenzie inside Daryl\'s office.

Daryl was reading a document when he heard his door opened. He smiled when Liam entered but that smile faded, seeing Kenzie behind Liam.

"What\'s going on?" Daryl asked.

"I\'m just here to deliver your new assistant. Treat her well during her stay here and I hope she will learn a lot from you."

"What?!" Daryl, with wide eyes, burst in total shock.

"Liam is there a mistake here? Assistant? Kenzie? Is this a prank?!" Daryl yelled.

Liam had a serious face as he said, "Do I look like someone playing pranks on you, Daryl? I have a lot of things to do so get Kenzie settled on her first day of work. You already expected your assistant to arrive today and this is her…"

Saying this, Liam left, leaving the astounded Daryl with Kenzie who was smiling at him sweetly.

"I told you… You can\'t run away from me…" Daryl heard Kenzie say as he stared into her beautiful and mesmerizing eyes.
