Chapter 619: Body’s Temperature
Kenzie observed Daryl\'s expression while they were inside the restaurant, waiting for their dinner to be served. A while ago, she answered his question with simple words as \'I will think about it\' when Daryl asked why she had to go for a lunch meeting with Harry.
"Don\'t you want me to meet Harry?" she asked, after the overbearing silence.
"You are free to meet anyone you want so why ask me?" Daryl answered with a casual tone.
"Hmm, alright," Kenzie answered with a grin. She was enjoying the gloomy expression on Daryl\'s face because she knew Daryl was affected by the fact that she would be having lunch with other men for business or could it be because of Harry who he seemed to not have a good relationship with.
The food soon arrived and Daryl grabbed her plate and said, "I will cut your steak for you."
Kenzie smiled and watched his every move. He still looked annoyed but was trying his best to hide it. The way they were acting right now was good progress for her. She would soon break Daryl\'s barrier.
"Thank you! But just so you know, one word from you then I will not go out with your brother for lunch to discuss business. I can just meet him inside my office you see… I don\'t want you getting jealous over nothing," Kenzie nonchalantly commented as she started eating the steak Daryl cut for her.
"Jealous? Who\'s jealous? I\'m not jealous!" Daryl exaggeratedly defended. Kenzie raised her head to look at him and murmured, "Okay then… Maybe I should consider dating Harry. To be honest, he\'s actually hot and I heard a lot of good things about him. He\'s also very responsible so I think…"
"Kenzie!" Daryl grunted with flaring nostrils, looking intently at her with his dark orbs.
Unaffected by his frowning, Kenzie smiled and questioned, "So yes or no? Should I give Harry a chance to date me or not?"
"Of course NOT!" Daryl unconsciously yelled.
"Alright… I will do as you say but you have to make sure you take full responsibility," Kenzie mumbled.
"Huh?" Daryl gasped.
Kenzie shrugged her shoulders and declared, "How long do you plan to drag this huh? Of course, you have to take full responsibility for me since you prefer that I date only you…"
Daryl gulped, he was totally speechless and dumbfounded. He did not know how to answer Kenzie. Deep inside he knew that Kenzie was right. He did not want her to date or meet any other men at all but he did not know why he could not admit it directly.
It might be because he was traumatized since he got rejected the first time by his first love. Though the scenario with Kenzie was very different from then, since Luo rejected him, he seemed to have a hard time and was struggling to express himself with words.
"Just eat the food Daryl, it will get cold," Kenzie murmured with a sweet smile, after seeing him struggle to answer her. She sighed… She decided not to push things further since both of them would be very busy. She then realized that it might be a wrong move to involve Daryl in her affairs because she could not hold back whenever she was with him.
She and Daryl managed to have a peaceful conversation over dinner regarding the matters involving the Chua Group. She told Daryl all her plans and said, "I will wrap it up as early as possible so make sure to keep your promise and wait for me. Whenever we are in the office together, we must maintain some distance in front of other people so they would not get suspicious.
They could use you against me if they found out that you\'re my greatest weakness," Kenzie sincerely pointed out.
"Huh? They will find nothing about me so don\'t worry. They can\'t use me against you in any way at all," Daryl reassured.
"Hmm, still we never know what can happen so it\'s best that we maintain our client relationship whenever we are together in the company," Kenzie said.
Daryl almost choked when he heard her because clearly, he was the one who behaved well between the two of them… In fact, it was Kenzie he was worried about that she would not follow the things she was saying to him. But he chose not to comment about it right now. He planned that he would just tease her once she started misbehaving and break the client relationship between them.
After they were done eating, Kenzie informed Daryl that she would directly go to the hospital where her father was. Daryl nodded because he too wanted to visit Kenzie\'s father. He stopped by a market to buy Kenzie\'s father fresh fruits.
"What does your father like the most?" Daryl asked. Kenzie happily told him all her father\'s favorites when it came to fruits.
"Will you ask him for my hand in marriage soon?" Kenzie said in a jest, making Daryl\'s face blush.
"I\'m just kidding. Geez… Aren\'t you used to my teasing already?" Kenzie murmured and comfortably hugged Daryl\'s arm.
"Relax, I\'m wearing heels so I need your arm for support," Kenzie reasoned with a grin when she felt him stiffen because of her touch.
Daryl did not utter a word. His muscles stiffened by her sudden gesture and he could not concentrate because he could feel Kenzie\'s bosoms brushing against his arm.
He cursed himself when he felt his body\'s temperature rise abnormally because that simple action was sending a current throughout his body. It was soft…and plump… the breast that was pressing against his arm.
His breathing became ragged so he hurriedly picked up the fruits and walked quickly to return back inside the car because he was afraid his skin would burn with desire if she touched him longer.
\'I feel like I turned into a pervert…\' he thought annoyingly. He never felt this kind of need and longing towards any other woman, not even Luo. His physical attraction towards Kenzie was just too much to handle and he was worried that he would not be able to control himself the next time around.
Kenzie on the other hand had an evil smirk on her face. She could feel how tense Daryl\'s body was so she intentionally brushed her bosom against his arm over and over again.
\'That\'s your punishment for still being the most denial man ever!\' she mused, planning to torture Daryl more in the future.
