The Law of Attraction

Chapter 697: Nonstop

Cris bit her lip. She was not aware of what Daryl had planned so she kept pacing as she waited for him to return to the office. She looked at the clock and it showed that it had only been a few minutes since Daryl left.

She was startled when after a few minutes the door opened and Daryl entered the room.

"Is it over, Sir?" She breathed and Daryl nodded with a smile as he went straight to Kenzie's seat and checked all the pending papers on the table.

"That fast?" Cris added in a gasp. She had a creased forehead and confusion was etched all over her face.

"Yup that fast. You will soon receive the documents signed by Lenny in your office. Well, I'm hoping to receive it within the day. But if not then I guess I will have a lot more work to do over the next few days…"

Cris was itching to ask for more details but it seemed everything was confidential as Daryl was not divulging any details about the meeting.

Daryl honestly had not explained the plan he had formulated even to Kenzie because it was a complicated matter and he did not want anything leaking out because he knew his father-in-law Jack placed a lot of importance on the family.

He was usually there at the hospital with Kenzie whenever Father Jack would ask why his sister-in-law Lenny had not visited him. And Daryl also knew how glad Father Jack was that he had managed to help his brother's family Lenny and Brix by giving them a good future. Daryl did not want to break his father-in-law's heart if possible and he also wanted to keep the good reputation of the family intact.

"You mean to say, Sir, that the Vice-Chairman will sign the agreement papers an.." Cris's words were cut short when the secretary's voice came over the intercom.

"Sir, may I come in? There's an important document that was delivered here by the secretary of the Vice-Chairman."

"Yes come in please," Daryl whispered. He was a bit shocked at how fast the documents had been returned. The secretary entered.

"Give it to Cris please so she can check if they are signed or not," Daryl instructed and the secretary handed the document over to Cris.

Cris looked at Daryl who signaled her to take a look. He was not breathing as he waited, hoping Lenny had signed the papers and had not just returned the documents back as a signal that she would fight him to the end. But then, he believed she wouldn't because in those files he had included the scenario that she will still end up in prison if she attempts to fight him.

"What?" Daryl asked impatiently.

"Sir…" Cris whispered as she looked at the final page.

"She has signed and stamped it!" Cris blurted. She could not believe it and she went over the pages once again.

Daryl closed his eyes as he exhaled loudly. Finally, his wife could be at ease and just focus on her father's recovery and her pregnancy. Brix, who was highly capable and trustworthy, could now take charge of the group without Jack, Kenzie, or Daryl having to worry about a group being formed against the management.

Daryl smiled at Cris and said, "Hmm, I think you will need to train someone to replace you as I'm sure both Kenzie and Brix will definitely give you an elevated position soon.

Cris' smile was so bright as she said, "Thank you so much, Sir. Oh, I don't know how you do it but I'm sure Madame Kenzie and Brix will be very grateful."

Daryl chuckled because he would definitely demand a good payment from his wife later when he delivered the good news.

"I will personally convey the good news to Kenzie. And how about you excuse yourself,? Cris, and deliver the good news to Brix yourself?" Daryl said and Cris nodded.

"I will first hand this document to the legal team, Sir, then I will go and share the good news with Brix," Cris commented and rushed out of the Chairman's office as soon as Daryl nodded at her.

Daryl stretched his arms and neck before looking at the papers on the table. Those were from the new companies that were asking for urgent investments with their terms and offers for approval and rejections.

"Time to work…" he whispered as he grabbed the pen but his mobile phone rang and he smiled seeing it was his Baby.

"Yes Baby," he answered over the speaker.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Kenzie complained.

Daryl looked at the clock and said, "You were tired so I wanted you to rest. How about you? eat some breakfast now, Baby?"

He was sure Kenzie was still in bed because he could hear her dreamy voice and yawning.

"I don't want to get out of bed yet. Come back, I want to cuddle and kiss you some more… Let's make love nonstop…" Kenzie said bluntly, making Daryl chuckle.

"I thought you said it's not safe to make love too often?" he teased.

"Yeah, but the doctor said it's okay just to avoid doing anything rough," Kenzie reasoned with a pout.

Daryl heaved a frustrated sigh because with his wife talking to him like that on the phone and saying those things was making him hard.

"Alright, I will come home as soon as I can, okay? We can make love nonstop then. Go eat something, okay. It isn't good to skip meals. Remember you are not eating for just one now…" Daryl reminded.

"Oh right, our baby needs it too. Oh okay, I'll go eat now and visit Father after that. See you later. I love you, Darling," Kenzie said and quickly ended the call.

"Ah, I can't believe that I keep forgetting about you baby. Please forgive your careless mommy," she whispered as she rose from the bed and caressed her tummy.

"How come you're not hungry? I mean you should be making mommy hungry more often, right?" she talked as if her baby in her tummy could hear her. She continued talking as she left the room to get breakfast.

She smiled and added, "Baby, your father is so good, working on behalf of mommy so both of us won't get stressed. Doesn't mommy have good eyes about men, huh?"
