The Law of Attraction

Chapter 550: Babysitting

[Note: Another scene from Chapter 504.]

Another morning at Chua Residence!

"A steel heart and an iron fist in the investment world! She also said that I will not have to worry about her at all…"

Butler Mark heard his master, Jack Chua, whisper while his eyes were still staring at the back of his daughter who had just rushed out of the dining area.

Jack let out a long frustrated sigh and whispered, "Mark, do you think she will really become a lioness after six months?"

Kenzie was now rushing to the Sy Law firm to start her first day at work as Daryl Cha\'s assistant. His brat daughter had managed to convince him to continue waiting. Soon his assistant Cris arrived.

He stood up and said to Cris, "Follow me in the library…"

"Sir, as expected, Madame Lenny is making the move of buying out more shares using dummy accounts," Cris reported as she handed out all the evidence that she had gathered.

Jack looked into it with a creased forehead. So far, he had managed to eliminate everyone that could be a potential threat to his daughter Kenzie, except for the one and that was Lenny - wife of his late brother Jill.

He heaved a long frustrated sigh as he recalled the last scene of his brother before his last breath. He had promised to take care of his brother\'s family. Lenny had inherited everything... even the shares of his late brother in the company.

Jack dismissed Cris and laid his back comfortably on his seat, massaging his temples. He was having a severe headache because of his sister-in-law. Lenny was testing his patience. The woman obviously wanted to take over the family business. She was not content with what she had got. Her greed seemed endless.

"Oh, God… Kenzie… What will you do when I\'m gone? Your aunt will do anything and everything to take everything away from you…" he whispered, feeling anxious for waiting another more months for his daughter\'s game to be over.

*****

At Sy Building.

Daryl was looking at the monitor screen of his laptop when he suddenly scoffed. He finally came back today but for some reason, he was feeling uneasy.

He grabbed his mobile phone as he whispered, "Shall I call Kenzie or Sarah?"

Kenzie would have a trial since she had sued everyone involved in her drugging in the in-house party that she had attended.

Sarah had already contacted him yesterday since he was an important witness but somehow he was worried about how the proceeding would go through. The perpetrators were capable youngsters and also with a powerful background.

He sighed and then mused, \'I\'m sure his father will do the needful. Besides, Sarah is her lawyer so I will not need to worry…\'

Another exhale came out of him before he shifted his attention to the document on his table. He wanted to check up on Kenzie because somehow, he felt like they parted ways on a bad note the previous day. On second thought, he reminded himself not to be bothered and that he should just avoid Kenzie if he wanted some peace of mind.

His secretary Bunny entered his office. "Boss, your new assistant will arrive today."

"Finally…" Daryl uttered in great relief. He was waiting for an assistant he could bring with himself whenever he was out on the field and he was hoping for a reliable male assistant for that.

He looked at his table and shook his head. He still had a lot of pending work because of his sick leave for days.

Previous days were such a rollercoaster experience for him that he was hoping not to encounter such an experience again. He was tormented and he really hated it… he really hated having that uneasy feeling.

He was looking into the document but he could not concentrate at all. He was startled when he heard his door open. 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 out in total shock.

"Liam, is there a mistake here? Assistant? Kenzie? Is this some sort of a prank going on?" Daryl furiously ran his hand through his hair as he yelled.

Liam had a serious face as he said, "Do I look like someone to play pranks on you, Daryl? I have a lot of other things to do to 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.

"You did this on purpose?" Dary stared at her in disbelief.

Kenzie exhaled loudly before she sat comfortably on the chair in front of him, and said, "Boss, I\'m also here to learn okay but I\'m guilty that this is on purpose. You see… I wanted to thank you for saving me so he sent me also here to be at your service for three months…"

"What?! Are you insane?" Daryl beamed, still could not get a grasp of his situation. And why would Liam let it happen? Liam just ran away from him like that without further explanation on what was going on.

\'What the heck is going on? Kenzie as my assistant? Are they all kidding me?\' he mused annoyingly because he felt like it was more like babysitting on his art rather than gaining an assistant! He did not see this coming! And he did not like it but he knew that Liam might have a good reason for letting it slide.

He stood up and said, "Wait here because I need to talk to Liam first about this. No way you\'re going to work under me!"

Kenzie only shrugged her shoulders as she watched Daryl rush out of his office.

"As if he can do anything against his Boss…" Kenzie murmured with a twitched face. She must admit… she was somehow feeling disheartened with the negative reactions from Daryl so she inhaled and exhaled loudly and then inwardly cheered herself out.

"Patience is a virtue. I can do this."
