The Law of Attraction
chapter-459

At Chua Mansion

Kenzie was feeling anxious as she waited for Daryl's reply. She wondered if Daryl was even considering her request. Daryl said he would contact her since he needed to think about it more carefully.

According to her, she had a valid reason for doing all that but she did not tell Daryl about her problems since she was not sure if Daryl would think the same or would just judge her as an immature woman.

She wanted to experience everything, at least enjoy being with a man who she liked or comfortable with. She had approximately six months to do it but Daryl was not cooperative enough to help her and even shortened the period to three months.

Kenzie heaved a long deep sigh. Her father loved her so dearly that she was allowed to do anything she wanted except for one thing… And that was choosing the man she wanted to marry.

She was actually glad he chose someone like Liam for her instead of some filthy rich spoiled young heirs with many girlfriends and mistresses in their lives before saying they were good and rich men, able to keep her happy and help in expanding their business. Most of them were the children of her father's friends that he trusted, men that could never be trusted in life and would give her wealth but never happiness.

She was really glad that in the end, he chose to approach Liam. But then Liam turned it down… He turned HER down to be more exact. He did not give her any chance, or the two of them a chance to know each other and grow fond of each other, to be more precise

She had several plans on her plate already after that incident because she suddenly got worried about what her father might do. He was too hell-bent on marrying her off to think that she was still young. She asked him so many times and his only reason was that a marriage alliance would help their business stability and would secure her future.

She had just graduated and was now in the process of getting work and earning her own money but her overly manipulative father was such a bully that no one dared to hire her. She wanted to try the business that he wanted but it was not really for her. It was not her fault that she was not interested in those kinds of things. She was more into arts like painting, photography, and any kind of form of arts though she also graduated business administration.

"Maybe I should apply for a job at Sy law firm instead? I bet dad can't bully Liam…" she whispered as that sudden idea came to mind. So she put Sy law firm on her list as one of her options. She could do clerical work if she had to, as long as she could earn money on her own and be independent.

She could not even ask for help from her friends since no one knew her real situation and she did not particularly want them to know about matters involving her family.

Kenzie heaved another deep sigh, realizing she did not have anyone who she could call a real friend to confide in and ask help from. She only knew a lot of party people and socialites who she was sure talked a lot about her behind her back.

Lips pressed together, Kenzie grabbed her mobile phone and typed a message to Daryl.

[Fine if you don't want to agree just pretend to be my boyfriend for three months. I'll get a shadow man to be with me intimately. You will just be my front man…]

Meanwhile, Daryl was in an important meeting when his mobile phone beeped so he ignored it and did not even bother to look at it.

Kenzie, on the other hand, anxiously waited for hours for his reply and beamed, "I guess I chose the wrong person…"

She wanted to pull her hair for her clumsy and rash moves. Well, she was desperate. Her father only gave her six months to do whatever she wanted and even find someone who she could show to him that he would approve of.

So she thought, her first option was that she would obediently listen to her father and marry whoever he wanted her to but she would first try to be a free bird for six months. Like any millennial woman would like to be… Have an open relationship, enjoy life, and get laid. Well, she was just thinking in advance since her father could marry her off to an old man.

Her second option was to find someone who would pass her father's taste but that would be too hard since her father was a very cunning man. Besides, most bachelors were already taken and only a few were available plus she was not even sure how to approach a guy without looking too desperate.

The last option was to run away when that happened. That was why she was investing in buying a lot of things through her cards, so that she could, later on, bring them with her and sell. But that option was also a really bad one since her father could easily find her, the first option would be the best.

With pouty lips, she typed another message to Daryl…

Daryl was the one who approached her first, following her around and offering his services desperately. With Daryl, it would be a win-win situation for both parties since Dary would get what he wanted as well as a bonus of having a desirable woman around him for three months.

She could not even go on a blind date now since she openly announced her relationship to Daryl with her friends so the second option was a no-no already.

She looked at her mobile phone and pouted, seeing there was still no reply from him.

"What's with him? It's not like he is not at an advantage if he agrees to my request. Am I not desirable at all? Damn!" Kenzie's self-esteem was going low. First, Liam turned her down and now Daryl seemed not to be interested in her anymore.

Was it not better that they do the actual thing while pretending to be in a relationship? She could actually go and find another man that could be willing but not all men had that personality that would make her comfortable.

With Daryl, she actually felt comfortable and was quite fond of him not to mention that the man had a good reputation as well. Who knows? It could end well for both of them and her father might even end up approving if Daryl ended up liking her too.

She giggled without her knowing, recalling how Daryl pulled her out of the bar that night. It was the first time that a man touched her, his warm big hand on her wrist. She still felt that warmth on her wrist sometimes...
