Chapter 584: Return With A Bang!

The next morning, Daryl was very surprised to know that Kenzie really quit her job. Liam also called for him.

"What happened?" Liam asked as he signaled Daryl to sit on the couch. Liam stood up and sat opposite Daryl.

"I have no idea Liam," Daryl answered.

"You look surprised so I guess you really don't know what's going on. Maybe Kenzie just got tired of being your assistant. I heard that you were being hard on her but yesterday we witnessed something contrasting," Liam casually commented, making Daryl gulp.

"I also was not able to contact Senior Chua directly. I think something is going on. The assistant answered my call and assured me that everything was fine. Assistant Cris said that the family is currently busy with personal matters so I thought you might know something about it since you're so close with Kenzie," Liam commented.

Daryl mumbled, "I really don't know what happened Liam."

"Anyway, that's not the real reason why I called for you. It's about your new position. You must get ready and be prepared. Jorge will endorse everything to you in advance." Liam started and briefed Daryl regarding the vice-chairman position and possible reactions from the board of directors.

Liam paused and heaved a sigh when he saw that Daryl was spacing out on him.

"Where is your mind wandering to Daryl Cha? Did you even listen to what I've been telling you?!" Liam snapped.

Daryl shook his head and whispered, "I'm sorry Liam..."

"Are you worried about Kenzie?" Liam straightforwardly asked. He has known Daryl for years and the last time he saw him act this way was when he discovered Luo's closeness to Noah.

"It's just so sudden Liam. I mean she changed her number and left so abruptly. I feel like there is something wrong," Daryl commented.

"Are you two in a relationship now?" Liam asked next.

"I'm not sure as well. We had an agreement yesterday so I thought everything would be different..." Daryl uttered, his tone sounded too confused.

"Why don't you go see her and talk to her yourself to clear things out?" Liam suggested.

"Go now. You look like a lost boy in the wilderness. Get back here when you're focused and ready to talk about work," Liam instructed and immediately dismissed his friend.

He was of course not doing this just because he was curious about what was going on with Daryl and Kenzie. He wanted to know what happened because he was concerned and worried for Daryl. Yesterday he and Kenzie seemed to be doing well and now all of a sudden Kenzie quit her job.

Daryl directly headed towards his car but then realized he did not know where to go so he called Kimmy first.

"Kimmy can I meet Kenzie and talk to her?" he asked on the other line. He tried to ask Kenzie's new number but Kimmy said that she was not allowed to give it.

"Attorney Cha, I'm sorry to tell you this but the boss will be in a month-long house rest and none of us are allowed to disturb her. She needs to focus on learning about the family business to take over the company. I can only tell you this much so please don't ask for more details. It's her own decision so she will appreciate it if you respect her being MIA for a month.

Also, please make sure to keep this matter only to yourself since everything is confidential. Boss allowed me to tell you since she feels that you can be trusted. Right now Chua Group is in chaos even though it looks like everything is going out well on the outside. Please trust Boss for now and I'm sure she will get back to you as soon as she can. You know her right? So please be patient and wait for her"

Daryl wanted to bump his head against the steering wheel because what Kenzie was doing was too frustrating. But then he scolded himself that he shouldn't be acting clingy like this when he knew he had no right.

"Alright then. Tell her that I understand everything and I hope she does well. I wish her good luck. It's good that she's more mature now and decided to help her father out in the business. No one else can do it since she's the only heiress so she must take this responsibility no matter what. If she ever needs any help then tell her she can contact me anytime Kimmy," Dary answered, feeling a lump in his throat.

"Thank you so much for understanding, Attorney Cha. I will definitely relay your message to the Boss. Please don't worry too much. She will definitely return with a bang!"

'Return with a bang? Seriously?' Daryl mused as the call ended.

"This is a good thing..." he consoled himself as he tried to act cool. This was what he wanted in the first place, Kenzie leaving him alone.

He exhaled loudly before he stepped out of his car to return back to his office. He had a lot of things to do and he would not let things like this distract him from his goal especially now that a good opportunity knocked on his door. He would concentrate on preparing for his new position as vice-chairman of the Sy Law Firm.

*****

At Chua Mansion, Kenzie was in strict in-house training and no one was allowed to disturb her unless it concerned her father's well-being in the hospital. So Kimmy waited in the garden and decided to relay Daryl's message later during dinner.

After a while, Chua mansion suddenly got an uninvited guest.

"Where is brother Jack?" Mrs. Lenny Chua, Senior Jack Chua's sister-in-law asked as she sat comfortably in the living room of the mansion.

"Madame, we will call Mistress Kenzie since our Master isn't home," the helper informed and turned around to leave but before she could go, Lenny raised her eyebrow and asked, "Where is your Master then?"

The helper smiled and politely said, "He's on a vacation madame."

"What?! On a vacation?!" Lenny questioned with a mocking tone.

"Why Auntie? Is my father not allowed to have some rest and relax after all the headaches he's been through while bringing the company to where it is now?" Kenzie's sweet voice was heard inside the living room.
