The Law of Attraction
chapter-617

"Do you know something that I don't?" Kenzie suspiciously asked Sarah when she saw that meaningful smile on Sarah's lips. She somehow felt Sarah knew something that she didn't but was not telling her.

Sarah quickly changed the topic and said, "I thought you said that you won't be able to concentrate if Daryl is around?"

Kenzie, still with pouty lips, reasoned, "Well, it's all your fault! Moreover, you know that I need someone I can trust. Daryl is the only person left. Liam won't accept cases since he is busy spending most of his time with his pregnant wife. Geez, even your Boss Luo is pregnant. So Daryl is the only person who will stand with me no matter what aside from you and Kyle. I don't trust others who are not close to you..."

"Alright, I will inform everything to him," Sarah said.

Kenzie's eyes narrowed and murmured, "Hmm, I haven't talked to him for a while and he hasn't agreed to it yet…"

Sarah had a teasing grin as she murmured, "Can he reject it if it's you who asked him?"

"How come you're more confident than me?" Kenzie mumbled. But a sly smile appeared on her face because she was determined to do anything and everything to make Daryl agree to become her lawyer!

Sarah could only laugh when she saw Kenzie's playful smile. They continued discussing the next step and Sarah left after that. Kenzie on the other hand returned to her office for a bit while reviewing some important doc.u.ments.

She called her secretary and said, "Can you check if Attorney Daryl Cha is in his office right now? You know what, just call his number and connect the call to me."

Soon her telephone rang and Kenzie answered it.

"Hello…" Daryl said from the other line. He was surprised by Kenzie's sudden call

"Hello darling," she enthusiastically greeted.

Daryl coughed as he heard her shameless endearment from that side since he did not expect this greeting from her.

"What do you need Kenzie?" he asked nonchalantly because he was sure Kenzie would not contact him unless it was something not important.

"I missed you," Kenzie said in a hoarse and raspy voice.

Daryl gulped, her voice was too seductive for him to not react, he almost felt his heart stopped beating for a second.

"Darling, are you there?" he heard Kenzie again and he felt a lump in his throat.

He snapped himself back and managed to utter, "Yeah… yeah... I'm here. What do you need?"

"Wait for me in your office. I will be there in less than 30 minutes. I need to discuss something important with you…" Kenzie informed.

Daryl looked at the time. It was past 2:00 PM.

"Alright, I will wait…" Daryl answered.

"Thanks, darling… See you later…"

Daryl heaved a long sigh when he heard the end call beep. He wondered what could it be but then he unconsciously smiled recalling how Kenzie called him darling.

"Geez, she's so brazen…" he murmured with a blushing face.

Kenzie arrived at Sy Building in exactly fifteen minutes since Chua Group's Building was in the same City as Sy Law Firm and travel time there usually depended on traffic. She had already called Liam for an appointment, so he was expecting her arrival any time. As soon as she was in the building she directly went to Liam's office.

"Hmm, what can I do for you Miss Chua?" Liam asked, a bit surprised with Kenzie's sudden appointment. Good thing he had nothing important scheduled when she called.

"I need a legal team that I can trust, Liam. Sarah and Kyle, as you know, will not be available for a while and I need relievers whom I can trust. Plus, I also need a new legal team for Chua Group. I want to replace all my corrupt employees who can easily be bought. Sarah will discuss the details with you soon," Kenzie pointed out.

Liam nodded and said, "Alright, I will arrange it and personally choose the best people for your Group. By the way congratulations. I was honestly surprised to hear the news a while ago but then I guess you prepared well for it. Your father must have been proud..."

Kenzie smiled and said, "Thanks. News spread so fast hahaha. Well, my father… Hmmm, I will see his reaction later on how proud or more worried he is."

Liam smiled too and said, "Well it's on the internet already. The new Chairman and CEO of Chua Group. I'm sure your father is very proud. But, tell me, Ms. Chua, why do I have a feeling that you did not come here just for the legal team assistance?"

Kenzie chuckled and said, "Well… you got me! I do have a special request along with the legal team…"

"Like what?" Liam asked.

"I want Daryl to be the reliever and be my personal and family lawyer while Sarah is not available," Kenzie said timidly.

"Hmm, why didn't you ask him directly? You know you can tell and ask him that directly."

"What if he refused? That's why I'm telling it to you first since Daryl is your employee so I'm sure he won't refuse it if you were the one to command him…" Kenzie explained with a bashful smile.

Liam chuckled and said, "I can't believe you're using me to reign on Daryl."

"Don't worry, I will rain you with more clients in return Liam. You know a lot of businesses are asking for our investment and I can include your firm as part of the contract? What do you say? Isn't it such a good bargain for the favor I'm asking? I know you feel like you are selling your friend out… But trust me you're selling him for his own good.

Daryl likes me just that he is still in a denial stage." Kenzie bluntly stated, making Liam chuckle again loudly.

"Alright, I will talk to him. But I personally believe he won't reject you…" Liam sincerely commented.

A beautiful smile curved into her as she said, "Thank you so much, Liam. I will go to him now and talk… If he refused then you can handle things for me. By the way, congratulations on being a father."

Liam smiled and thanked her. Kenzie winked at him and rushed out of his office to go to Daryl.

Liam had already reduced Daryl's workload because he knew Daryl would be very busy with his family matters so he wondered if it would be right to help Kenzie like that, however, knowing Daryl, he knew he would not reject Kenzie's proposal of being her personal lawyer, since unknowingly the woman had become an important part of his life.

If his and Jorge's hunch was correct, Daryl had already fallen for Kenzie without him realizing that. Liam smiled and somehow anticipated what would happen next once Daryl and Kenzie became close once again.

His mind wandered in his past when he was smitten by Lana and he was in denial, was Daryl going to have the same kind of story waiting for him?
