Chapter 549: Excited To Start

In the end, Kenzie decided not to tell Daryl yet about her intention to work at Sy Law Firm.

"I just wanted to check up on you since I heard that you're sick… Like I said, I want to personally thank you as well… Thank you, Daryl," she said with a sweet smile.

Daryl gulped and drank his glass of water straight and then exhaled loudly before he spoke, "Kenzie, to be honest… I feel uncomfortable after that incident. I will no longer pursue the clients we lost and that would be the last thing I can do for you…

No more asking me for favors to pretend as your boyfriend. I will no longer do it… And I will really appreciate it if you no longer bother me from now on. I'm a busy man who needs to do a lot of important things. I hope you will understand this."

Kenzie gulped. She felt a lump stuck in her throat. She was too speechless to say anything.

Daryl noticed her sudden silence so he added, "I'm sorry Kenzie. I don't want to sound rude but I will really appreciate it if you will no longer bother me."

Kenzie glared at him in a way that Daryl suddenly felt threatened. She stood up and with pouted lips mumbled, "I will make sure to bother you as much as I could… I like you Daryl Cha. I want you to be my man for real and I really meant every word I said that day."

Daryl was dumbfounded and with a dropped jaw, he stared at Kenzie in awe who suddenly rushed out of his apartment.

"Seriously?" he helplessly whispered with a crumpled face.

Another flashback came into his head… A flashback that was haunting him for day

"Daryl Cha… Be my man… Marry Me…"

Those whispered words were like a dilemma in his ears.

He thought Kenzie was just hallucinating when she whispered those.

"Darn!" he cursed annoyingly. He did not like being hunted by women. It turned him off…

He preferred to be the one approaching the woman he liked even though he could end up being heartbroken like what happened to Luo. He heaved a sigh because having a woman would be the last thing in his mind after his bitter experience of having a one-sided love. Besides, he needed to fix his own life first.

Kenzie was still young and he was sure what Kenzie was feeling towards him was just an infatuation, nothing serious for sure. All he needed to do was avoid Kenzie for now.

Daryl heaved a long sigh and looked at his sunny-side-up egg that was half burnt. Then he shifted his gaze on the porridge and ate it instead.

"This is delicious…" he unconsciously murmured as he focussed on eating, totally brushing off Kenzie from his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Kenzie's nostrils were flaring while she was inside the car. She instructed her driver to go straight to Sy Law Firm to meet Liam whom her father already talked to.

"I'm not someone who will easily give up like that. I haven't even made an effort yet to win you over…" she whispered with narrowed eyes and pressed lips. Obviously, Daryl seemed to be not taking her seriously with those expressions of his as if he could not believe what he just heard from her and she hated it.

"Did he think that I'm just playing around? Or spurting nonsense during that day because of the drug!" she grunted because she made sure that she delivered her words clear and sound that day, how she wanted him to be her man and marry him. She meant every word.

She went directly to Liam's office as soon as she arrived, there she formally met his wife, Lana Huang Sy.

"You mean you're already married at that time?" she burst in shock, making Liam grin.

Lana shook her head and whispered with a smile, "It's actually a long story and I'm really sorry that you've been caught in between."

Kenzie exchanged pleasant conversation with Lana and she found the woman nice until Lana excused herself since she needed to leave for her prior appointments.

"So Kenzie… I'm honestly surprised with your father's request…" Liam started, making Kenzie to sit properly and face him.

"Yup and you have to assign me to Daryl Cha," Kenzie confidently uttered as she drank her tea.

"I don't know what's going on but what you and your father are requesting is honestly just a small thing given how my clients are coming back… I guess Daryl will not like this but then I'm the Boss and three months will not be that long I guess, so start as his assistant whenever you are ready," Liam commented since he thought it would not be a big deal and Kenzie might learn a lot from Daryl since Daryl had a background in business management.

Kenzie's eyes twinkled and his smile brightened more than the ray of sun as she answered, "I can start as early as tomorrow."

"Oh, good timing since Daryl will be back tomorrow from his sick leave," Liam commented. He could smell something fishy going on but then it was not in his character to meddle in someone's affair. What mattered to him was that it would bring great benefits to his company since it was really a great loss when he lost those clients that were very close with the Chua Family.

"Yes and I'm very excited to start…" Kenzie hummed comfortably as she smelled the aroma of her tea. She was confident that she could make Daryl like her back in the span of three months as long as she and Daryl would be close together and able to see each other every day.

She would prove to Daryl that her feelings were true and she was not merely playing any games. She really felt it that day… the feeling of being secured in a man's arms. She would definitely regret it if she would just let it pass by without doing something.

It could be a very bold move to the eyes of the others but she did not care. Life was short and she did not want to have any regrets because of not trying to pursue what her heart was telling her to.

Daryl was a single man and very much available so what was the harm in pursuing the man she wanted?
