The Law of Attraction

"What?" Kenzie whispered when she noticed that Daryl was staring at her and then down to her lips. Then she suddenly felt his hand crawling on her nape pulling her abruptly.

"What are you -"

Daryl suddenly captured her lips, not letting her finish her words at all. Kenzie was shocked, totally caught off guard. But the longing and yearning she had for the fast few days took over her that she unconsciously closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Daryl's neck.

'Such a perfect kisser,' she inwardly pondered as she enjoyed Daryl's lips but she knew that she must wake up.

She felt something poking on her arm. She turned and her mouth twitched seeing Daryl standing beside her as he handed the tissue box to her.

"Use that… You're such a clumsy one even at eating,"

Kenzie heard Daryl complain. She grabbed it with a sigh. She was daydreaming again of kissing Daryl. She swore that she would definitely kiss him if her agony persisted!

'But you should act like a proper lady at least!' Her inner prim and proper self scolded so another sigh came out of her beautiful lips.

Daryl on the other hand walked back to his table instead and sat on his chair. He watched Kenzie eat and shook his head.

"You should eat breakfast."

He heard Kenzie who grabbed his coffee and the sandwich that she had brought to his table instead.

He was about to say something like reminding Kenzie to stop doing errands like this but he halted when an idea suddenly popped up in his head. An idea to make Kenzie leave the company and that was - make her stay as his assistant as her worst nightmare.

A smirk appeared on his face as he whispered, "Go, eat in your area Kenzie and when you're done...tell me because I will need a lot of work from you."

Kenzie suddenly had a bright smile directed to him as she excitedly replied, "Sure Boss, I'll be quick!"

He watched her walk back to her area which was on the left side of his room. There was only a cubicle as her own space and privacy since his assistant should work closely with him and preferred that he could talk randomly without bothering to use an intercom or a telephone.

He needed to make things hard for Kenzie because that seemed the only way she would leave him alone. He heaved a long frustrated sigh. Kenzie's presence was affecting him physically and he must admit that.

'And why not? I'm just a man too… I'm not a saint,' he silently justified. He had no time to play games with her infatuated feelings. And he was not at all ready to be in a relationship and with an heiress on top of that!

Plus, he was fed up with the e.r.o.t.i.c scenes playing in his mind whenever he saw Kenzie in front of him like now. He felt weird and he did not like that unsettling feeling.

Their eyes met and Daryl suddenly regretted setting up the area for his new assistant inside his own office. He could still see Kenzie's face with that cubicle! Maybe he should ask to replace it with a taller cubicle where Kenzie would be totally hidden from his sight!

"Are you comfortable with the stain on your dress? Why don't you go home for now?" Daryl mumbled. He felt like it would be better that Kenzie was not there for that way he could concentrate better.

"I will change soon. I have asked my bodyguard to bring me a new dress," Kenzie replied with a smile.

Daryl simply nodded. After just a few minutes, Kenzie stood up and excused herself to get the dress changed.

Daryl nodded.

He was in deep thought when Bunny suddenly came in and said, "the CEO wants you in his office right away."

"Alright, I will go now," he replied. Bunny was about to leave his office when he mumbled, "Make an arrangement for Kenzie to work outside… near your…"

He halted and frowned, seeing Red peeping in his office for the outside.

"Damn!" he murmured annoyingly.

Red had that playful grin and he could clearly visualize what that womanizer was thinking.

"Sir, you mean you want Kenzie to work near my area instead?" Bunny clarified.

Daryl's mouth twitched and said, "Nevermind!"

"Just give her half of your work instead… Those hard works of yours and some errands…" Daryl continued.

"Are you sure, Sir?" Bunny asked worriedly. She knew Kenzie Chua and she was really shocked to see her arrive together with the CEO as the new assistant. Their CEO clarified that it was more like a training ground for Kenzie in the period of three months and he asked her to look after Kenzie during those months.

She could smell that something fishy was going on with Kenzie's sudden appointment as a new assistant like that and she knew it all was connected to her Boss.

"Of course, I'm sure Bunny! Don't listen to Liam and do the opposite of his request instead. You're my only hope so please cooperate and save me the trouble. You must help me to make Kenzie quit in a subtle way. If we make things hard for her… I'm sure she will leave this firm sooner!" Daryl straightforwardly explained.

"I need a real assistant and that Liam played a prank on me!" He added with flaring nostrils.

Bunny shook her head. She had somehow already gasped the situation.

However, one thing was for sure, her boss was definitely affected by Kenzie's alluring presence that she could not help but comment, "Boss, I will surely do everything as you requested but later do not blame me, okay? You have to promise… You requested this so if Kenzie suddenly leaves, do not blame me for keeping away a great eye candy for your sight.

I'm sure other male lawyers who will know or already knew about her presence will beg our CEO to let them have such beauty as an assistant like the one outside who was drooling candidly on your new assistant…"

Daryl's face became gloomy when he turned and saw that Red was now talking to Kenzie who was already wearing a new outfit.

"That womanizer!" Daryl hissed as he stood up to walk up to his door and called Kenzie to immediately go in.

Bunny shook her head, watching that scene. Surely his Boss did not mean his words in making Kenzie Chua under his wing.
