The Law of Attraction

Chapter 580: I Like You

At Sy Building.

Daryl sneaked glances at Kenzie who seemed so busy that she wasn't able to find time to even smile at him. He felt that Kenzie was ignoring him since the moment she arrived. She only smiled and greeted him once which was very unusual as he would often catch her staring at him then she would smile sweetly next.

'What's wrong with her now?' Daryl pondered.

He grabbed a file and stood up to walk towards Kenzie's cubicle. To his dismay, she was not busy with work but was tapping something on her mobile phone or more like texting.

"Check this file and summarize every important detail to me," he said. Then added, "I told you not to come to work given your sprained ankle so why are you so stubborn?"

He was actually surprised to see Kenzie come to work. She was walking with the help of crutches along with Kimmy who stayed outside with Bunny to make sure she could take care of Kenzie if needed.

Kenzie grabbed the folders and did not even bother to look at him, making Daryl feel uneasy.

"Aren't you supposed to be working instead of texting in the office?" he scorned.

Kenzie finally raised her head to meet his gaze and with a smile said, "Yup, I know but it's your brother's fault. Asking me a lot of things. He was honestly calling me so many times that I told him to just send a message and I would reply to him whenever I can instead of calling and wasting my time during work."

"Well, he is still consuming your work time by making you reply to him like this," Daryl countered in his sulky voice.

Kenzie winked at him and whispered, "At least it's not as much time as a call would take, boss. Anyway, I will focus more on working now."

Then she added, "I will need to wrap up early since Harry will pick me up."

Daryl was left speechless, dumbfounded.

He could not believe that Kenzie ignored his warning to date Harry. But then it was understandable since he did not specify everything to her. At this point, Kenzie might even think that he was just ruining Harry's reputation because of envy.

But then Kenzie said she would believe in her. Then he recalled that Kenzie also mentioned that she had to meet Harry to keep up her bargain to her father as he had not yet given his answer to her proposal.

He turned around to go back to his chair but halted. Kenzie was staring at Daryl's back with a grin on her face. Harry did message and tried to call her but she did not reply. It was actually Kimmy and Sarah with whom she was exchanging text messages.

She immediately bowed her head when Daryl turned around and walked back to her.

She tried her best to not look at him even though she felt his presence in front of her.

"Kenzie," she heard him call so she raised her head and this time looked at him with her usual sweet and bright smile.

"Yes, boss?" she asked.

"Don't go out with Harry…" Daryl said simply.

Kenzie tried her best to remain calm even if she was already squealing inwardly.

She bit her lower lip and nonchalantly replied, "It's not that simple boss. I already told you that I have to keep up with my side of the bargain so I have no choice but to go out with Harry if I want dad to let me do whatever I want before these 3 months are over."

Daryl, who listened to her reason, finally declared, "Let's do as you propose last night." Yes, he decided to do it because for some reason he could not bear to even imagine Kenzie even going out with Harry. He could not understand his feelings as well and he wanted to know and confirm what it was for himself too.

Kenzie gulped as she was caught off-guard. She did not expect that Dary would decide so quickly and could only stare at him in disbelief, mouth agape.

Daryl creased his forehead, seeing Kenzie's blank expression as if she was zoning out.

He snapped his finger and Kenzie finally blinked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just… I mean I did not expect your answer so soon," she honestly commented. There was a moment of silence so Daryl thought that Kenzie already changed her mind so he coughed and then whispered, "If you have changed your…"

He was unable to continue because he felt Kenzie pulling him into a tight hug and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Oh I'm just a bit startled but I will never change my mind. I choose you Daryl…I will always choose you. I'm just too happy and I feel like it's not real. Thank you, Daryl. I promise I will do my best in this relationship. We will get married as soon as possible…"

Flustered, Daryl gulped hearing the word 'married' so he gently pushed Kenzie to look at her and said, "You're moving too fast Kenzie. Let us take this one step at a time, please. Let's not jump into marriage so quickly."

Kenzie's face blushed in embarrassment as she whispered, "Yeah you're right. Let's do the engagement thing first. Uhm, have you decided for how long you will give me a chance?"

Daryl moved his head and wrinkled his forehead as if thinking hard before he whispered, "I haven't decided yet. For now, you can use my help as long as you want. I will be a good partner until we sort out things. But Kenzie I hope you won't expect too much from me because at this point I really don't know what my true feelings for you are."

"Hmm, do you like me?" Kenzie bluntly asked, her eyes gazing into his intently.

"You don't?" Kenzie continued with narrowed eyes as her face drew closer to his.

"Well… Uhm… Yeah, I like you…" he murmured, stuttering when he saw her face so close to his.

Kenzie suddenly pounced on him, hugging him so tightly while she murmured, "Liking me is good enough… I'm sure love will soon follow…"

Daryl looked up, wondering if he made the right decision.

This was the scene that welcomed Liam with Jorge when they entered the room.

*Cough *Cough

"I think we came at the wrong time Liam," Daryl heard Jorge speak with a teasing grin.
