The Law of Attraction

Days passed and Daryl could not believe how persistent Kenzie was. He thought that his direct words would somehow stop the bold woman but to his horror, Kenzie seemed to be unaffected by it all.

He gulped, as his eyes ogled at Kenzie's body.

'No! What am I doing!' he silently scolded himself as he moved his perverted eyes into a different direction. He was frustrated as well because he did not like how Kenzie was wearing a s.e.xy white dress that stopped above her knee hugging her body tightly, showing the perfect rounded curves she had.

What he hated the most was that deep v-neck showing her cleavage!

He wanted to ask if Kenzie was even comfortable wearing it but then knowing Kenzie he figured that it would be best for him to keep his mouth shut! He did not want to give Kenzie any sign that would make her think that he was interested in her.

He focused on the doc.u.ments he was reading and was startled when he felt Kenzie's presence in front of him.

"Sir, you need to sign this," Kenzie said, bending her chest down towards him. She tried to be as casual as she could while she intentionally bent so he could have a proper view of her cleavage.

She had done a lot of research and even posted things like how to make a guy fall in love with you on the forums she found on the internet. The one common piece of advice she got from there was to use seductive techniques like this.

She tried her best not to smirk when she saw how Daryl's eyes froze on her chest when he raised his head to look at her.

'Got you!' Kenzie wanted to cheer loudly. She was very amused when she saw his conflicted expression as he quickly shifted his gaze to a different direction.

His gulping did not escape Kenzie's hawk eyes.

"Just leave it there and go back now to your seat Kenzie!" she heard Daryl hiss so she turned around and a smirk curved perfectly on her lips as she walked back to her desk.

She even walked s.e.xily, swaying her h.i.p.s flawlessly for Daryl to see, which he most definitely did. His eyes rounded while his shoulders tensed. He wondered who would be the last one standing in this game of Kenzie.

With lifted brows, he called for Bunny and instructed her to give all the crucial and pending works they had to Kenzie.

"Kenzie, the trial will be tomorrow so make sure you finish everything by today. If you don't then I have no choice but to bring this up to Liam. I asked for an assistant who is capable of doing this kind of work.

So if you fail, it's either Liam assigns you to a different department to learn or I resign and look for another firm that will not be biased when appointing people that will work under me!" Daryl said with a straight face.

He felt that had to take some action otherwise things would get out of hand. Kenzie was not helping him with work at all and her mere presence was a distraction for him!

Kenzie froze and her eyes followed Daryl's back as he directly walked out of his office. He looked irritated and annoyed. Kenzie pursed her lips as she frowned and grunted, "What's with him? If he's so affected by my s.e.xy outfit he could just say so instead of acting like this and irritating me!! Not only that, but he's also taking his revenge by burying me alive in the pile of work he was endorsing."

She had a feeling that Daryl was intentionally making things hard for her. He was trying to make her leave. 'Isn't it only for three months?' she inwardly complained, thinking why Daryl could not bear with her for three months.

She was not naive and she could definitely tell that Daryl was affected by her presence. For her, Daryl showing this side was still a good sign as it was better than him not having any reaction at all.

She grabbed her coat and quickly wore it to cover her cleavage. She never wanted to show so much skin to the public but only to him. She only removed her coat whenever Daryl was inside the office.

Daryl on the other hand went down to the cafe to buy some iced coffee. He felt hot and thirsty. He tried to calm himself while he was in a seat.

*Knock* *Knock*

Daryl raised his head and saw Red, who knocked on his table, with a wide smile. Red comfortably sat in front of him with his coffee.

"You're in deep thought Attorney Cha…" he heard Red comment.

And Daryl could tell what could be Red's next sentences…

"I heard that you do not like your assistant. We can switch our assistants you know. We can both ask Liam about it," Red suggested with his cunning smile.

'This womanizer!' Daryl thought and wanted to voice it out but kept his cool and asked, "And who told you I don't like my assistant?"

"Well everyone in the firm knows that you're giving Kenzie a hard time. She's always coming to work early and mostly getting off last. Last time I happened to see her still working in your office so I offered her a ride but she refused me. So everyone thought that you are deliberately doing it to make her quit," Red mumbled.

'Those gossip mongers!' Daryl hissed with a twitched mouth.

"It's part of her training for her to learn well Red. So don't assume unnecessary things. I will never let anyone switch my assistant so you should stick to yours!" Daryl announced before he stood up and left Red alone on the table.

Daryl unconsciously smiled as he walked back to his office. Kenzie did a great job by refusing Red when he offered to give her a lift. But soon he sighed. He knew Kenzie was always getting off from work late because he had seen it himself.

He was often in the parking lot waiting for her to be picked up by her bodyguard. He would only leave after he was sure that she was safe with her bodyguards.

Kenzie would often order delivery whenever she would do overtime. So last time he bought himself a sandwich from the cafe before going inside his car since he did not want to miss dinner like the first time he waited for her to finish work.

"I should tell her not to do another overtime…" he whispered to himself because he was somehow worried for Kenzie.
