Chapter 546: Have Set My Heart On Him
In his heart, Mr. Chua knew that it was important for Kenzie to be aware of everything as soon as possible. He also wanted her to be calm and not panic after hearing his side and not panic. He asked his butler to send Kenzie to his study and contemplated a lot on what he should and not tell her.
He also had to select his words wisely and lure her into joining his business. If one day she suddenly had to take care of everything, she wouldn\'t be able to make it.
While he was still lost in his thoughts he heard a small knock on his study door and he immediately knew Kenzie was there. He called her in and asked her to sit down in front of him.
Kenzie took the seat right opposite Mr. Chua and bent her head down with a little guilt in her eyes. Although they both had an emotional talk after she woke up, she still felt guilty for making her father worry so much for her.
"How are you feeling now, Kenzie?"? He asked as soon as she took her seat.
"I am now fine father. You do not need to worry about me now." She replied, with her eyes looking down.
She knew this time she had crossed her limits. Even if she wanted to play some wild games, she should not have been so reckless to not think about her own safety and do anything that could tarnish her father\'s reputation.
Mr. Chua looked straight at his daughter and said in a solemn tone, "Kenzie, I have called you here to talk to you about some important issues. I hope you will understand my problems and will cooperate with my arrangements."
Kenzie suddenly raised her head to look at her father. Her heart started pounding in her chest and an ominous feeling crept in her heart.
"Kenzie, I want you to join the business and learn everything that you can in as less of a time as possible. So, I have decided that you will be coming to the office with me from tomorrow morning and I will not take no as an answer."
He gave his verdict with a heavy heart and his heart hurt more because a more difficult decision was yet to be relayed to her!
"Also I… I want you to get married as soon as possible and the Cha family has asked for your hand in marriage for their son who will be the heir to their entire business empire.
With a family and background like theirs you will always have all kinds of support and even the business would not suffer if someday I am not around." Mr. Chua said as much as he could and though he wanted to say many more things, he could not and held himself back from saying the next thing that he had thought.
He could already see his daughter in shock and he hated himself for not being able to let his princess live her life the way she wanted. How he wished for her to be happy and contented all her life.
Kenzie felt like her heart had stopped beating and she suddenly felt breathless as she heard her father. He wanted her to become a businesswoman and look after his business from the next day and was also planning her marriage with the man of his choice.
\'No, that can\'t be!\' She said in her heart. Not now when her heart finally beat for someone.
"Father, you cannot force me for this. You know I don\'t want to join the business, I cannot understand the finance figures, I don\'t understand your tenders, I don\'t understand your business at all!
And you also want to force this business marriage on me! I don\'t love that heir of the Cha family. He is not good enough to be my children\'s father. I don\'t like him. Didn\'t we agree that you will give me six months of time to do what I want?
Tears rolled down her eyes as she thought about how pathetic her condition was at the moment. She didn\'t want to hurt her father yet she had to because his decisions were going to break her down sooner or later. She didn\'t know why he wanted her to marry a prominent business family in such a hurry.
Sounds of her painful sobbing filled the entire study and Mr. Chua shook his head in helplessness as he looked at the wronged expressions of his dearest daughter. He knew he was being oversensitive about her marriage, but he knew how he wanted her to be married and well settled as soon as possible.
"My child, tell me what am I supposed to do? Do you know how many problems I am facing in the business everyday? There are so many eyes on my business and so many people ready to snatch away this whole empire that I built with my hard work, my blood and sweat.
Those who walk by our side all day are the biggest backstabbers during the dark night, Kenzie. No one is trustworthy…" Mr. Chua said in an aggrieved tone when he saw his daughter crying her heart out and wished his words had some impact on her.
When Kenzie heard such helpless words from her father she stopped crying and looked at him, she felt a little stunned and for the first time in her life thought that her mighty father could also be tired and have some worries that made him feel restless and defeated in life.
"Father, I will listen to you. I will start learning about the business and also get married soon. But please give me one last chance to choose my life partner. I will readily marry the son of the Cha family. Not the one you mentioned but the one I am in love with, Daryl Cha!
Father, I have set my heart on him. The way he took care of me and respected me as a woman, I have fallen in love with him and I want to pursue him and win his heart, this time for real…"
