The Law of Attraction

At Chua Building.

Cris looked at Kenzie every now and then as she was busy signing checks and papers. She wanted to tell Kenzie about her and Brix but she did not know where to start.

After a few more minutes that passed, Cris heard Kenzie ask, "What is it, Cris? I can feel you looking at me. Don't hesitate to tell me what's bothering you."

Her Boss Kenzie indeed had sharp senses. Cris gathered enough courage and strength by breathing loudly before she blurted out, "I'm with Brix. I mean the two of us are now in a r-relationship."

She held her breath as she saw Kenzie stop signing and put down her pen on her table as her expressionless gaze fixed on her for a while.

"Congratulations then. Brix is a good man, but you will surely have a hard time with aunt Lenny. Worst case scenario is she will not approve of you at all because of your background. I believe I don't need to elaborate on anything, Cris, since you already know how shady my Aunt's attitude is," Kenzie casually commented.

"You don't look surprised," Cris noticed.

Kenzie smiled and said, "Well, I have a good sense of things and you know that. I knew you were in love with Brix. My cousin would be stupid not to notice that. Something probably triggered him to make a move on you, knowing how he prioritizes work first. Nonetheless, I'm happy to hear such good news from you. I must say this though, No matter what happens, don't make a decision you might regret later. If there is any misunderstanding, you should talk it out with Brix before anything…"

Kenzie sighed silently. Brix was a total puppet to his mother's commands, but then again, maybe Cris was the person who could help Brix to finally garner enough courage to make his own decisions.

Cris smiled at her and said, "Thank you Kenzie. I will take note of what you said."

"Speaking of your man, I am done with these files here. If you want you can personally take these to Brix's office." Kenzie teased her with a grin. Usually, it was Kenzie's secretary who would take those files to Brix.

Cris' face reddened but did not refuse the offer and immediately grabbed the folders.

"I will be quick," Cris bashfully informed Kenzie before turning her back and heading towards the door.

"Oh, take your time, Cris. I really don't mind," Kenzie teased some more before Cris opened the office door. She was chuckling when Daryl entered through the open door and saw that.

"Hmm, looks like you're in a good mood, baby," Daryl said as he comfortably sat on the couch. 

"How was the meeting?" Kenzie asked as she stood up to join her husband and sat beside him.

"Total clean-up has been done. Now I have to answer an email and ask my assistant to bring the documents I need to sign here. I bet Liam and my secretaries are cursing us now since both the Bosses are slacking in their work. 

Later, let's see Liam. Lana just gave birth at the same hospital where father-in-law is. I wonder what presents one should take for the new parents and their baby girl. Look at how he is boasting about his baby girl with us," Daryl said smiling and showed Kenzie the photos Liam had sent in their group chat.

"Oh… She's so cute. I'm jealous. I want a baby girl too," Kenzie whispered unconsciously.

Daryl's eyes lit up hearing her words and shamelessly said, "Let's have a quick round, baby. Who knows, we may get lucky this time." He did not even wait for Kenzie to comment and immediately lifted his wife and carried her into the private room.

"Wait, press the button first." Kenzie reminded  Daryl. Pressing the button switched on a red light in Kenzie's secretary and Cris's offices.

Meanwhile, Cris felt lighthearted now that she had told Kenzie about herself and Brix. She had a bashful smile on her face as she neared Brix's office. She passed by his secretary's desk, but the area was vacant so she walked directly through to Brix's door and was about to knock when she noticed that it was slightly open.

Usually, she would not enter the room, but then she thought it would be okay to surprise Brix since the two of them were now in a relationship. She remembered Brix telling her that he hoped she would not be shy around him anymore so she made her decision and opened the door.

"I told you to fool Cris so we can use her, Brix! What are you doing? Who is that woman you plan to bring to our house? I ask you to do a simple task to lure Cris and here you are messing up with another woman!"

"Mom, can you please calm down first. Didn't I make myself clear the last time we talked? And what other woman are you talking about? It's Cris who I plan to bring home to meet you!" 

Lenny's eyes brightened and in that instant, she hugged her son as she whispered, "Oh, I knew it! You would not let me down! Oh son, let's do this. We can finish things together and just follow my orders, just do whatever I ask. I know you are tired, that's why I'm doing my best to finish everything fast. So please bear with me for a while longer and try to be more patient. 

Now that Cris is in your hands, don't ruin it. Make her fall for you so deeply that she will stand beside us instead of Kenzie. We need Cris on our side, son and a woman like her could easily be swayed if their hearts are involved. This is the last thing I will ask of you today while I handle the rest, son."

Brix heaved a long and deep sigh as he tried to push his mother away. He was too disappointed in his mother. After their last talk, he had thought and hoped that somehow his mother would finally realize her mistake. But unfortunately, she was too obsessed with her goal to take over the Chua Group completely.

He looked directly into her eyes and said, "Mom, nothing's changed with what we talked about last time."

He shook his head and was about to repeat what he said the last time, that he would no longer take part in her plans, but his eyes widened when it went towards the door.
