The Law of Attraction

Chapter 699: Borrow

Kenzie went straight to the hospital to stay with her father as soon as she finished eating breakfast at home.

She and her father were having a nice conversation when they had an unexpected visitor.

"Father Marius!" Kenzie exclaimed and immediately stood up from the side of her father's bed to greet her father-in-law.

"Oh, you're here dear. Are you with Daryl?" Marius asked. Kenzie held his hand and guided her father-in-law to sit on the chair beside her father.

"Please take a seat," she told Meng, who was still standing. She was always with her father-in-law since the latter could no longer see.

Kenzie then looked at her father-in-law and proudly said, "Daryl is taking care of the company on my behalf, father. He's been very busy lately since he needs to look after three companies. He doesn't want me to get stressed or tired so he's taking up all my work too."

"Ah, that's good to hear. Especially now that you're in the first trimester. I guess I don't need to scold my son about this matter. Harry will be discharged tomorrow and he said he will report to work right away so hopefully, Daryl will only have to worry about Chua Group and Sy Law Firm for now." Marius commented.

He was planning to visit Harry after his talk with Jack.

Kenzie nodded and said, "Oh right, I will leave you two to talk. I will just check on Harry."

Jack nodded and Kenzie left the two old men to chat. She wondered what Kimmy was doing in Harry's room. Daryl had told her about his and Kimmy's conversation on the phone and just like her, Daryl too believed that something was going on between them, at least from Kimmy's side.

She liked Kimmy and was actually planning to play cupid between Kimmy and Sarah's twin Abram but now it seems like Kimmy has a different taste in men. Well, Harry is a good catch too, it's just that his past is not as good and clean as Abram.

She sighed and whispered, "Harry and Kimmy?"

'Maybe they're not a bad pair,' she thought while walking.

She knocked before she opened the door and entered the room.

Harry was watching the news while Kimmy was peeling an orange. The room had a harmonious atmosphere.

"You're here," Harry whispered to which she gave him a smile and nodded as she approached his bed.

"Father Marius is there in my dad's room. I'm sure he will visit you next. He told me that you're going back home tomorrow?" Kenzie asked Harry and moved her questioning gaze to Kimmy as the latter did not report it to her nor Daryl.

Kimmy, with an awkward smile, said, "I was planning to tell it to you within the day, Boss."

Honestly, she did not want to report it because she wanted Harry to take some more rest instead of reporting to work immediately. She was sure that Boss Daryl would ask Harry to start working as soon as he was discharged since the former had a lot of things on his plate.? Surely her Boss Daryl could manage it for a day or two so that Harry can get more rest right?

Kenzie's mouth twitched, wondering what exactly was going inside Kimmy's head.

"Hmm, I'm glad you're recovering well now. I guess I can already dismiss Kimmy from looking after you tomorrow when you go back," Kenzie said with a smile, looking at Kimmy to observe Kimmy's expression.

And what she saw was just what she had expected. It looked like Kimmy was already attracted to Harry.

"I'm really grateful for your help Kenzie. And yes I can manage things on my own now so Kimmy can go back to her work anytime," Harry replied with a smile. Kenzie controlled her laughter seeing Kimmy's face crumple and darken.

'Ah, should I help her?' Kenzie thought as she turned to Kimmy who also looked at her.

Kimmy looked at Kenzie for help, hoping her Boss would get the message she wanted to relay through her eyes. She immediately grabbed her mobile phone and sent a message to Kenzie.

[Boss, I'm really sorry about this. I promise I will really make it up to you. Can you please help me find a way to stay with Harry? Pleaseeeeee]

"Is Daryl with you?" Harry asked. Kenzie looked at Harry and said, "Hmm, nope. He is quite busy looking after three companies at the moment."

Her mobile phone beeped but Kenzie ignored it and told Harry, "Father said you want to start working as soon as you're discharged. You know you can actually rest more Harry. I mean make sure that your body is really fit before you get back to work."

Harry chuckled and said, "Ah, I'm actually feeling great now Kenzie, and the doctor said the same thing too. So I don't need any more rest, don't worry."

Kenzie's mobile phone rang and Kimmy hurriedly said, "Boss, your mobile phone. It could be an emergency…"

"Excuse me," Kenzie said and grabbed her phone only to see it was a missed call from Kimmy. She frowned and opened Kimmy's message to read it.

"Is everything alright?" Harry asked worriedly, after seeing Kenzie's twisted look.

Kenzie raised her head and smiled at Harry.

"Yeah, everything's fine. It's just some spam calls. Geez, I wonder how those bugs manage to get our number and send these annoying offers and requests," Kenzie mumbled intentionally.

She was having a hard time controlling her laughter after seeing Kimmy's sulky face.

"Oh yeah, they're very annoying," Harry seconded.

"Hmm, Harry, if you want I can let you borrow Kimmy for longer. I have many reliable bodyguards around me but I'm not sure if they are as dedicated as Kimmy. Kimmy could basically do anything you want. You see, she's kind of like a master of all trades…" Kenzie stated, curious to know what Harry would say.

"No… Really, I'm fine." Harry whispered and gave Kimmy a glance before he added, "No offense meant, but I'm not comfortable with a woman being around me, especially now that I can move on my own. I mean there's really no need for Kimmy to stay with me so you can take her even now."

Kenzie looked at Kimmy with a smile and said, "Ah, I bet Kimmy also misses me very much. Right, Kimmy? How about you go home now with me?"
