The Law of Attraction

Chapter 563: At All Costs

Chapter 563: At All Costs

It was the weekend and Daryl woke up in a good mood. He did his morning routine of running and went back to his apartment to do some cleaning. Hours passed by before he went to his garden and greeted his Siberian husky to play with it before cooking his lunch.

"How are you doing? It's been a while since dada has played with you because I'm so busy. But from now on I will surely make time for you," he said as he played in the mini garden of his apartment with Lufa, his best buddy. He had named this dog Lufa after Faith Luo, who left him heartbroken a year ago.

He bought Lufa that same day when Luo rejected him. He missed Luo very much and cried all day and night after her rejection, so Lufa had no choice but to listen to his whining and crying.

Daryl had finally moved on but Lufa had become his best buddy. He was having a wonderful day playing around when his doorbell rang.

Daryl looked at the time and left Lufa in the garden because she was very aloof towards strangers.

He looked at the time and realized it was just around eleven in the morning. He wondered who it could be because he was not expecting any visitor at all. He looked at the video intercom and his eyes widened in shock…

"What the heck is she up to now?!" he said out loud as he contemplated whether to let this uninvited visitor in or not.

"My legs are starting to hurt. Please open up the door quickly. I just need to hand some documents to you…" he heard Kenzie beg.

Daryl irritably scratched his head and pushed the button to let her in.

Daryl looked at her and stretched out his hand saying, "Give me the documents."

Kenzie smiled and walked past the tall man, ignoring his cold attitude, and went to his dining area.

"I brought you lunch so you don't need to cook. I will leave it here for you to eat. I will leave soon so no there's no need to have your eyebrows furrowed like that," Kenzie commented as she quickly arranged the lunch box on the table for Daryl.

"I thought you said that you came to hand me some documents," Daryl commented helplessly as he watched Kenzie move around comfortably like it was her own home.

After she was done Kenzie faced him with her usual charming smile and said, "Don't forget to eat your lunch completely. I'll place the documents on the table in the living room."

She was about to leave but Daryl held her wrist and stopped her.

"We need to have a serious conversation Kenzie," Daryl started with a serious face and voice. Kenzie had an awkward smile on her face. She felt like Daryl would say anything not good.

"Please stop this Kenzie," Daryl quickly added. Kenzie sighed and asked, "Why?"

"Because I don't like to be entangled with you. Being in a relationship is the last thing on my mind right now" Daryl commented.

"Don't you like me at all? Like not even a little bit?" Kenzie stutteringly asked.

"No, you're not my type at all," Daryl replied.

"I hate women who chase after me like you do. It's a big turn-off for me Kenzie. So, please! Let's both have some peace. Why don't you just concentrate on your family business like what your father wants you to, instead of wasting your time being my secretary and following me. Please save me and yourself from this madness" Daryl pleaded.

He gulped, seeing Kenzie's eyes brimming in tears. She forcefully pulled her wrist from his grasp and rushed towards the door.

Daryl turned around and cursed. He felt confused. He did not want to hurt Kenzie's feelings but he also did not want to encourage what she was doing. She was too young and innocent to be wasting her time like this.

He would never take advantage of her because he knew that Kenzie might just be infatuated with him since he was the first man she got intimate with.

He was in deep thought trying to convince himself that he did the right thing when he felt his body being caged against the wall by someone.

"Kenzie?" he gasped. Kenzie's arms were stretched on the wall, confining his whole body.

He gulped when he met Kenzie's deadly stare.

'Is she going to kill me with that glare?' he thought panicking on the inside.

"You really don't like me?" Kenzie asked again to which Daryl shook his head saying no.

"Not even a little attraction towards me at all?" Kenzie asked next and Daryl's lips parted but then he quickly shook his head again.

"I really don't have any feeling towards you Kenzie," Daryl managed to say, enunciating every word firmly.

Kenzie's eyebrows lifted up. Her mouth twitched as she said, "So you're saying that you don't have feelings for me huh... Then listen carefully to what I'm about to say Daryl Cha!? I will make you fall for me at all costs!! Don't think I'll give up because you said those words..."

Daryl was dumbfounded as he watched Kenzie rush towards the door after finishing what she wanted to say.

"What's wrong with her? She's so scary when she's angry," he whispered, still in awe. He walked towards the chair and helplessly slumped on it.

Then his eyes shifted to his dining table. Upon seeing so many dishes his stomach started to grumble.

He grabbed a spoon and fork and started eating them. He was eating absent-mindedly as his mind started processing what just happened.

Meanwhile, Kenzie rushed back to her car and her bodyguards almost had a heart attack when she banged the door of the car.

"Let's go back!" she mumbled with pouty lips.

"Why is he giving me such a hard time? Am I not attractive at all?!" Kenzie grunted.

The two bodyguards sitting in front looked at each other. The one driving signaled the other one to answer their mistress since she was a lady bodyguard.

"You are very attractive Miss Kenzie. That man definitely has some loose screws if he lets this opportunity slide. Only a man who is not in his right mind won't fall for you," Kimmy replied.

"You are right, Kimmy. Let's go shopping and I will treat you for being an honest person" Kenzie commented with a grin. She liked her new lady bodyguard Kimmy who was only five years older than her.

"There's no need to do that Miss Kenzie. I'm just stating a fact so no need to treat me," Kimmy answered with a smile but her senior who was driving elbowed her and signaled her to just go with the flow.

"Nah… I insist. I feel gloomy today so I want to cheer up. Sarah is with her family while dad has some important appointments. How come dad went out without me this weekend…" Kenzie remarked. Later, she would bug her father about it because he was always out with butler Mark instead of her.
