The Law of Attraction

Chapter 445: Take It Or Leave It

Daryl was enjoying his talk with Jorge and Mr. Kim at the party over a drink when his mobile phone rang. He immediately excused himself to answer it when he saw it was Kenzie who called.

"Come here. I had messaged you the address," Kenzie commanded.

"As in now? At this hour? I'm in the middle of the party with a client…" Daryl reasoned out.

"Alright, don't come then and forget about me helping you out. Didn't you agree to serve me to my heart's content for six months? Is that the 'jack of all trades' you were boasting about?" Kenzie scorned with a lifted eyebrow from another side of the line.

Daryl wanted to hit his head on the wall for keeping such a condition with that devil, but now he had no choice… unwilling to do so he still said, "Alright, I will be on my way now. I'll be there in twenty minutes."

He heaved a long frustrated sigh as he walked back.

"Mr. Kim, happy birthday. I have to go first to attend to an emergency.??? Daryl said and the old man nodded. He looked at Jorge and said, "I will have to leave right now. I'll call you later…"

He immediately went to his car and drove to the address Kenzie texted.

That woman basically wanted him to be her slave and wanted to do whatever she wished with him. It was a little absurd condition, but then as long as it would not do him nor anyone else any harm, he thought he would try his best to keep up with it.

He picked up Kenzie from the house of her friend.

"I have to go now. My boyfriend is here to pick me up…" Kenzie commented and Daryl was utterly surprised when Kenzie introduced him to her friends as a boyfriend.

"So, he is the man who made you turn down the arranged marriage with Liam Sy?" one of her friends commented and Kenzie nodded.

She even hugged Daryl's arm and replied, "Yeah… I fell in love with him at first sight when I saw him at Sy Building. I always told you I will not get married if it's not for love so I have to fight for him and turn down that absurd arranged marriage with the God of the arctic. He also approached me that day and deliberately bumped into my car just to get my attention..."

Daryl could not help but only gulped as he listened to Kenzie's made-up story of their flash love… Looked like she carefully thought about the details without him knowing.

Kenzie turned at him with her beautiful smile as she beamed, "Right hon?"

'So this was what she meant when she told me I just need to nod and smile whenever I'm with her?' Daryl helplessly mused before he returned her smile with an awkward one and nodded in agreement… after all, he was just a slave!

His face unconsciously reddened too, which caught the eyes of Kenzie's friends.

"Oh, look at how our Attorney Cha is blushing. Kenzie does admire lawyers and I heard your attorney Cha had a very pleasing personality and he is known as a good lawyer Kenzie could be proud of. We are so happy that she at least met her so-called 'Mr. Impact'?" one of Kenzie's friends commented.

"Mr. Impact?" Daryl chortled.

Her friends nodded and chuckled.

Kenzie felt embarrassed that she suddenly pulled Daryl out of the herd of her friends and told her friends that they had to go now.

As soon as they were inside the car, Daryl could not help his curiosity that he asked, "What was that about that Mr. Impact?"

"Mr. Impact, huh?"

"Yeah, since they had always heard me saying that… I want a person who can make a deep impact on my heart. And so they all always refer to my man as Mr. Impact.

I have always dreamt of a?hopeless romantic scene of meeting a handsome man who will have that impact on me at first sight. You know, the one that can make your stomach turn upside down. Something like heartbeat racing… Butterflies flying in the stomach and such…" Kenzie mumbled with the rolling of her eyes.

Daryl laughed and said, "And you're saying you felt that when you saw Liam?"

Kenzie pouted her lips and with a sigh murmured, "Well not really but I was intimidated with his charm so… Anyway, you have to pretend to be my boyfriend from now on so stay away from any other woman for the next six months. I have to keep my reputation as a woman being adored rather than getting dumped. I was heavily drunk the last time we talked so I was unable to elaborate on how you can be of use…

I have to check your profile first and make sure those friends who talk behind my back would not find anything. By the way, you're the only son of Cha's family who was referred to as the black sheep. You have left your family for a long time to live on your own. I guess you have a complicated relationship with your family, right?"

Daryl's expression became gloomy as he heard what she said so Kenzie did not ask him more about his family. She was actually curious to know how Daryl ended up as a lawyer. The report said he left home as soon as he graduated from college and he took a law course and lived on his own henceforth. Somehow, she admired him for being successful on his own. But he was an only son, a heir to business tycoon Edward Cha, a very successful investor.

"So, you have already investigated my background that much, huh?" Daryl muttered wryly.

"Yeah… Sorry about it. Well, you have already passed the physical exams since you're also handsome and have a very nice build but then I also needed someone with a good family background like Liam. That way, those bitches won't look down on me…"

Kenzie turned at Daryl with a contented smile and specified, "And I'm impressed you have one so I decided to introduce you as my man starting today. After six months, I will break up with you and you will gain back all the clients. Those that have been pulled out from Liam's firm because I asked my father to convince them to not use his firm anymore. By then, you will surely secure the promotion."

On the other hand, Daryl did not need that promotion though if he was on good terms with his father but then again it was his family matter that she would not dare to butt into.

"Six months is too long, Kenzie. I can do it for just two months and nothing more…" Daryl bargained.

Kenzie was in deep thought. She also thought that six months was a bit long but then two months were also too short for her. She did not want to get labeled as a woman who easily dumped someone she was in a relationship with.

"Three months… Take it or leave it…" Kenzie firmly stated.

Daryl made a quick glance at Kenzie's direction and said, "Alright. I'll take it."
