Chapter 608: Play Cupid
It was Sunday and as usual, Sarah spent it with her family but this time Kyle would be joining them as well since he\'s a part of their family.
They were playing golf when Sarah\'s mobile phone rang.
"Oh right, that document. I will bring it to you immediately," Sarah said to the person on the other line and then the call ended.
"Who was that?" Abram asked. He was sitting beside her, watching Kyle play with their father.
"Oh, it was Kenzie. She needs the document in my car right now. I will go and be back asap," Sarah said as she stood up from her seat. But Abram pulled her back to her seat and said, "Wait, let me do it for you. Give me the key and I will personally give her the document."
Sarah had a teasing grin as she said, "Wow, you\'re finally showing courage huh? Alright, you can go and give it to her. I\'ll tell her that you will bring it. It\'s in the backseat of my car."
"Nah I\'m not showing any courage and all. We are friends so I\'m just worried about her. You said she locked herself in her house to train. I just want to check on her. Who knows maybe I can be of help since I am an experienced CEO after all," Abram explained. He quickly grabbed the key from Sarah\'s hand and left.
Sarah shook her head as she watched his brother run in haste. "Poor thing," she mumbled because she was aware of how Kenzie was head over heels for Daryl and she strongly believed that Kenzie\'s feelings would also not go in vain.
Abram was whistling as he drove Sarah\'s car to Chua\'s mansion. It had been a while since he last saw Kenzie and he was a bit worried, hearing Sarah\'s update about her.
He was instructed to wait in the garden when he heard a woman in uniform ask, "Did you check him already?"
One of the bodyguards shook his head.
"Can you please stand up sir," instructed the woman. It was the first time he met her but then he heard Kenzie\'s bodyguards were often in disguise outside.
"Wait, why do you need to check me? I\'m Sarah\'s brother. Didn\'t you see me with your Boss? I was often with her on weekends playing golf," Abram reasoned.
"Sorry sir, but this is just basic protocol. We have to be as strict as we possibly can. There are only three people who can approach our Boss without security checks." The woman, whom he believed to be one of Kenzie\'s bodyguards, explained.
His brows lifted up and he asked, "And who the hell are those people? I should be on that list too."
\'I can be your future boss you know!\' he wanted to add but remained quiet.
"Raise your arm please," the woman instructed, ignoring his question.
"What\'s your name huh?" he asked, annoyed.
"Kimmy sir," the woman nonchalantly answered as she started searching his body.
"Be careful while you\'re searching. Make sure you don\'t touch parts of my body that you shouldn\'t be touching," he scorned.
A suppressed chuckle was heard from another bodyguard but he quickly pressed his lips when Kimmy threw him a sharp gaze.
Abram held his breath when the woman pulled him closer and said with her wicked smile, "Don\'t worry sir. I will avoid touching unnecessary parts…"
He gulped and felt cut off his tongue. He only breathed when he was finally released and the woman said, "He\'s clear, show him to the living area. I will call our boss."
Abram\'s face could not be painted as he waited in the living room.
"Hey, Abram! Sarah told me you would bring the documents…" Kenzie energetically said and hugged him warmly.
"Yeah, here…" he whispered, handing her the envelope.
"Thank you so much. Do you want anything? Coffee? Juice or Tea?"
He smiled and said, "Coffee will do."
Kenzie instructed her helper while Abram unconsciously stared at her.
"You\'re losing weight," he could not help but comment.
Kenzie winked and cheerfully said, "Yeah have to work hard to keep up."
"By the way, did your security level upgrade?" Abram commented.
"Hmm, yes. I can\'t afford to have spies. I\'m at the crucial point so we have to be extra careful," Kenzie explained.
Abram pouted his lips and mumbled, "That hurts. Am I one of your suspects?"
Kenzie chuckled and said, "Of course not. I will tell Kimmy to give you clearance next time. Since it\'s your first time? visiting here, she\'s a bit strict."
"Doesn\'t she look a bit young to be your bodyguard?" he mumbled.
"Well, she is young but trust me she is very capable. One wrong move and you\'ll die. Isn\'t she cute?" Kenzie replied with a teasing look and grin.
Abram\'s face reddened.
"She\'s young and very single you know… I can help set her up with you" Kenzie added, enjoying the blushing face of Abram. She did not know why but she suddenly had the urge to play cupid.
"Stop teasing me. You\'re much more prettier," he scoffed and then blushed more realizing what he just said.
"But I\'m already taken so we will have to remain friends," Kenzie nonchalantly said.
\'What a way to shoo me away,\' Abram thought silently. His sister was right. There was no way he could enter Kenzie\'s life.
"By the way, Kimmy mentioned that there are three people on the list," he said, curious to know who they were.
"Yeah. Sarah, Kyle… and Daryl."
"Daryl…" he murmured with a sigh.
"Yes, my future husband. You will definitely like him, Abram. Right now, I am very busy with the company so our love story is on hiatus but it will resume again soon." Kenzie opened up, making Abram wish he never asked.
He liked Kenzie a lot but he got rejected before he could even pursue her…
"Yeah, I bet I will like him…"
\'Like to strangle him to death,\' he wanted to add but instead, he smiled at Kenzie and changed the topic, and asked about her company.
"Kenzie I\'m always here if you ever need any help. You already see me as a friend and a brother so you know that I can be very reliable in the business world. I\'m an experienced person so you can learn a lot of things from me." Abram offered.
"Yes, I will surely do. You\'re handling the family business very well Abram. I will ask for your help if I need anything," Kenzie answered.
"How is uncle Jack? Mother and father wanted to visit him but Sarah said it\'s not possible yet," Abram asked.
"Hmm, yes. I\'m keeping his condition a secret until my formal appointment in the company. Once I settle everything by next week then you can all visit him as I\'m sure he will be happy to see you guys."
