Chapter 583: Becoming A Lioness

At Kenzie's Apartment Building...

Daryl called Kenzie's phone but it was not reachable. He suddenly felt anxious so he called Kimmy's number instead.

"Hey Kimmy, I'm at the reception but the security did not let me go up saying no one is answering the call in the apartment," Daryl informed her. He was still at the building lobby of Kenzie's apartment, sitting on the couch in the waiting area.

"Oh right, I'm sorry Attn. Cha. We got caught up in an emergency so the boss forgot to inform you that we aren't there. I can't tell you what's going on since it's a confidential family matter. Boss wants to keep everything a secret as well. But you don't have to worry about her since she's definitely fine.

There will be a lot of changes starting tomorrow and she told me to tell you to wait for her in case you asked. She needs to fix a lot of family matters from tomorrow so she will be too occupied. By the way, she also said that she would never have a change of heart unless you got married and found someone you truly love. If you can wait for her then it will be good but you also have the choice not to...

I have to go now Attorney Cha. Don't call the boss's number because she won't be using it from now on. She told you to work harder and take care of yourself."

Daryl opened his mouth to ask more but the beeping sound stopped him.

"What was that? What's going on?" he wondered as he looked at the screen of his mobile phone. He felt something was not right. But then he exhaled loudly before he stood up to leave.

'Maybe this is a good thing as well since I need time to think and sort things out with father,' Daryl thought as he walked towards his car. He felt really confused. Shouldn't he be happy right now because this only meant that Kenzie would not bother him anymore? But how come he felt something weird that he could not explain?

'For all I know might be another trick of hers,' he mumbled as he shook his head because it was definitely possible knowing how naughty Kenzie could be. It may be one of her ways to torment him with unnecessary thoughts and various questions.

Meanwhile, Kimmy looked at her boss who was still sitting beside her father.

"Are you sure it's necessary to avoid him?" she asked out of curiosity. She witnessed how hard Kenzie worked to pursue Daryl that she herself was impressed enough to salute her boss's boldness, so Kenzie acting like this felt really weird. She was already betting in her mind guessing how long her Boss would follow her decision.

Kenzie looked at her father lovingly and whispered, "Yes it is necessary Kimmy. I will get distracted if we do things together. When I wanted to focus on my love life, I paid my full attention to it and was not distracted by the rest. The same goes with the battle for my father's company. Daryl will become my weak point and my enemies will definitely use it against me.

As Daryl said, I'm still young so matters of the heart can wait. If he can't wait for me then I guess we are really not meant for each other. I've been an immature and stubborn woman for a long time but now I will leave these attitudes behind me Kimmy. If I'm with Daryl I can't let these go since my immaturity is required to pursue that man...

However, this is my father Kimmy... He is my treasure that I will not trade for anyone or anything. I can have any man I want or love but I can never have another father like him. I want him to be proud of me.

I want him to fight his battle knowing that his daughter is doing everything he wanted... Becoming a lioness... Someone who can stand on her own and can defeat any obstacle without batting an eyelid. I don't want him to feel pressured and disappointed watching me spend my time following a man like a desperate woman."

Kimmy nodded in understanding. At this point, her boss definitely needed to focus on one thing at a time. Instead of pursuing the man she loved who was not even sure if he could reciprocate her feelings, she should focus on her father first and fight for her father's company. She realized that It would be a tough battle after hearing the report from Cris so a distraction like Daryl was the last thing her boss needed.

"You can do it, boss. We are all here to help you out." Kimmy cheered because starting tomorrow, her Boss would get tutoring everyday from all experts. She must familiarize herself well with the company and how to rule as a fierce lioness CEO.

Kenzie sighed as she looked at her father. He was awake a while ago so she told him all her plans as she vowed that she would make sure that he did not have to worry about her. Her father finally agreed to have the surgery as soon as his condition improved and his body was ready for it. His hospitalization was kept confidential otherwise her auntie would use it to create a fuss once again.

'Those ungrateful bastards!' she cursed them inwardly. She was aware that her auntie was greedy but she was confident that her father would handle his reign over the wife of her uncle.

However, things were getting out of hand lately since her father was having relapses which were eventually affecting his work and the old hag had noticed it like a predator who had her eyes on her prey.

She felt sad that she had to let go of Daryl for now but she would definitely come back to him whenever she had an opportunity to do so.
