Chapter 616: Mix Business With Pleasure
At Chu Group Building
"What a tiring day!" Kenzie exclaimed as she straightened her back while sitting on her seat. They were still in the meeting room and the marketing team had just left.
"You're on fire huh? What if those people you kicked out hold any grudges against you? People these days are scary. You never know if those corrupted minds are crazy as well," Sarah commented.
"That's why I have so many bodyguards to protect me. Besides, they won't... since I gave them a blow equally per crime they committed. They should be thankful that I did not drag all their names in public, else that would have destroyed their careers and no companies would ever accept them for a second chance. I am quite generous compared to other Bosses, you see!" Kenzie defended.
Sarah shook her head and said, "Yeah you're generous enough to surprise them with their termination on your first day as the CEO. Such a nice job. Salute!"
Kenzie had a lopsided grin and mumbled, "They should have done things right and just, and not worked for their selfish interests, they should have done their work diligently if they wanted to last long. Geez, those twisted people should have seen this coming. Did they really think they could continue fooling around like that?
I hate those sc.u.mbags the most who stab us in our back, and we should be more worried about those employees who are loyal and honest, and care about them not resigning as they are far better even if they are unrecognized by the higher management," Kenzie murmured.
Her father was very generous and usually did not care about most of such things and let go of small mistakes of his employees as long as the profit would not plummet. But she was different because she believed that keeping those people no matter how good they were in their work was the wrong move. Doing things that way only spoilage will spread and she did not want that to happen.
As she was analyzing the difference between her way of working and her father's, Cris told her that her father was not aware of the irregularities since he was very busy taking care of things on so many fronts, that he missed a lot of things in the company that he thought would not cause a problem in the future.
She suddenly felt bad because she was one of the burdens her father was carrying.
Kenzie heaved a sigh, realizing how heavy the duty her father had been working all his life alone while she did nothing but enjoy and spend all that money like it was nothing.
"Honestly, I'm just warming up Sarah..." she bragged with a sly smile.
It was true because very soon she would next deal with her aunt next then those board members like Mr. Tak soon. She heaved a long sigh. Her father should have cut the horns of aunt Lenny a long time ago to prevent this kind of agenda but then she knew how her father loved his brother deeply that was why her father let it go for the sake of her late uncle.
"Can I talk to you privately?" Sarah suddenly asked.
Kenzie then dismissed Cris and Kimmy. She noticed how Sarah's face blushed when she cleared her throat so Kenzie teased, "Has it got something to do with that sparkling diamond I'm seeing in your finger right now? You see I've been itching to tease you since you arrived but there's no time..."
Sarah chuckled and timidly murmured, "I have already accepted Kyle's proposal. Formal engagement will be held next week. I will send you the address and time."
"Wow, that was quick. Oh goodness, without so much effort you trapped a man! I'm envious of you Attorney Sarah Jung. Oh gosh, I can't believe that you will wed first, much before me!" Kenzie beamed with a grin.
Sarah's face turned deep red and she felt so embarrassed and shy as well with Kenzie's non-stop teasing.
"Stop it already..." Sarah begged.
"Not until you tell me your secret?" Kenzie continued with a smirk.
Sarah felt her face red hot, wondering should she tell Kenzie how everything happened in a flash that she and Kyle get intimate physically then the proposal happened. But then if she would analyze things closely. She and Kyle build a good rapport as enemies turned drinking buddies into friends... That eventually led to a more...
"Ahhh that look. I think I know what already happened," Kenzie teased more followed by poking on Sarah's sides.
Sarah giggled then said, "Seriously. I think things will flow on their own if it's meant to be. That's what happened to me."
Kenzie sighed and asked, "I guess you want me to have a replacement for you since both you and Kyle will be very busy as in super busy during this period?"
Sarah bit her lower lip as she timidly nodded. Kenzie's case was very handy since she wanted every single detail rechecked while the management was still with her father. She now wanted to kick out those greedy board members as well who were not helping the company in getting more business but instead were pulling each other for their greed of money, position, and power over Chua Group.
According to Kenzie, she could understand their sentiments if her father's management sucked but that was not the case. Those bastards were simply nothing but greedy people.
"We want to spend more time with each other like normal couples who go out on dates often and travel together to nice places. You see, to be honest, we have passed that dating stage..." Sarah added timidly, cheeks blushing hard.
Kenzie pouted her lips and said, "You can do those during the honeymoon period but I guess you two just can't get enough of each other. Ahh, I'm really envious. I hope I can soon enjoy having a love life like you!"
"You're indeed sharp... And don't worry about how fast you are pacing right now, I'm sure your love life will follow soon," Sarah praised.
Kenzie's eyes suddenly lit up as a wonderful idea came to mind.
"What's with that look?" Sarah suspiciously scoffed.
"Hmmph, you just give me an idea to help me... mix business with pleasure...," Kenzie replied with a mischievous smile.
"Huh?" Sarah breathed.
Kenzie giggled as she cheered, "I have no choice when you are not around, so I will need Daryl's service."
Sarah shook her head and mumbled, "See how you make things to your advantage."
"I know right but the question is will Daryl agree," Kenzie mumbled next.
"I'm sure he will..." Sarah confidently uttered with a meaningful smile.
