The Law of Attraction

Chapter 551: Walking Trouble

"Liam, are you trying to kill me?!" Daryl burst as soon as he was inside Liam's office.

"And why would I do that to one of my best lawyers?" Amused, Liam casually commented, as he glanced at Daryl.

"What is this?" Daryl moved toward Liam, fury painted on his face. "I want an assistant who can assist me on the field as well as with my office work, and you sent Kenzie! You're not giving me an assistant! You practically want me to babysit a spoiled heiress!" Dary almost screamed with flaring nostrils.

Liam raised an eyebrow, seeing the fuming Daryl shouting furiously in front of him.

"What's wrong with babysitting such a beauty? Do you want some tea?" Liam innocently commented in the teasing sugar-coated tone.

He did not even bother to wait for Daryl's reply and pressed his intercom as he instructed Mian, "Can you bring some tea inside Mian? Oh, wait… Maybe bring something cold also, like bottled juice? Or maybe some iced coffee..."

He then shifted his gaze to Daryl who was glaring at him in disbelief.

He blinked and murmured, "How about you take the iced coffee and cool down first?"

Daryl crossed his arms and once again asked, "What's going on? Would you bother to explain please?"

"Kenzie's father returned all the clients we had lost but in return… I must hire his daughter to work or rather to be trained here for three months." Liam revealed.

"So? What does it have to do with me? What is she doing in my cabin? According to which logic does she qualify to be my assistant in your eyes?" Daryl scoffed.

Liam cleared his throat and shamelessly stated, "She doesn't.!"

Daryl's eyes widened up on hearing his reply and he couldn't help but wonder if he should beat Liam up for being such a miser with words while replying about the whole thing.

"Liam Sy, if she is not qualified then why the hell did you appoint her as my assistant? Are you fed up with me working here?"

Liam smirked seeing Daryl in such an upset mood. His calculative mind told him something had definitely happened between them that Daryl was running away from that woman like a plague.

"Daryl, why are you so irked by her presence? Did something happen between you both? I mean...did she sexually harass you... or... bully you, using her position of being the daughter of Mr. Chua?" Liam bantered with an evil smile in his eyes. He was totally enjoying seeing Daryl so helpless.

"Liam, you are crossing your limits and yet you have not given me any answer as to why you have appointed her as my assistant. I want to know what kind of game you are playing with me here?" Daryl stared into his eyes and demanded his answer.

Liam raised his eyebrows and twitched his mouth then started, "Daryl, don't doubt your importance in this company. I would definitely not let you go anywhere or make you suffer. Why are you so riled up because of a little woman? Just use her as you would use any other assistant of yours instead of getting angry like this.

Moreover, Kenzie came to me and asked for this arrangement if I wanted her father to return all my clients. You see, such a simple request that she wanted to work with you for three months, only three months, and in return, we get back all our clients! It's not like I am selling you off!"

Daryl gritted his teeth and grumbled, "Liam, are you sure you are not selling me off? And how come you have the cheek to talk about me being riled up because of a woman? Didn't you hate all the women and fired so many capable employees with huge potential because you didn't want any woman around you?"

Daryl was completely against keeping Kenzie as his assistant and here Liam was not ready to listen to him and convince Kenzie to work under someone else. He wanted to avoid Kenzie at all costs as he felt she was a walking trouble for him. She made him pretend to be her boyfriend at first and then wanted him to be physically involved with her too!

He had barely saved himself using all his self-control on the night when she was drugged by her vile friends. She had even said that she wanted to marry him when he helped ease her sufferings…

How many times he had silently tolerated her childish behavior, acted along with her in front of her friends to give her face, and even gave her the keys of his apartment to let her show off in front of them… but for how long? He didn't want to be the puppet of that rich heiress anymore.

"Don't you think you never had women flocking around you like bees the way I always had? Are you?" Daryl hissed.

"Huh! Those women were not worthy of even a single glance from me." Liam refuted.

Their conversation was interrupted by a small knock on the door and Mian entered with the tea and other drinks.

"Daryl, sit down and have some drink first!" Liam said with a small smile.

Daryl twitched his mouth and took the seat opposite Liam.

Liam served a cup of fragrant tea to Daryl and took one for himself. He then looked at the gloomy face of Daryl and couldn't help but say, "By the way, why don't you just act along and let her work as your assistant and achieve what she is here for!"

His ambiguous tone in the last words made Daryl wish to bring a gun and shoot him. He understood that Liam was in the mood to tease him to his death if he kept on responding the way Liam wanted.

Ironically, Daryl knew this from the very start of their conversation, yet he failed to control his temper and kept getting teased by that childish boss of his!

'I am going to pay you back right now! Just you wait…' Daryl mused inwardly and took a sip from the tea.

There was silence between them while they both drank their tea and suddenly Liam couldn't wait and asked again, "You can be frank and tell me if she sexually assaulted you. We will sue her if that is the case."
