Chapter 667: Going In Circles
At Chua Group Building
"I think that\'s the best idea. I\'m just worried about Brix\'s feelings if his mother proves that she can\'t let go of her greed. Nonetheless, I agree with this plan and I\'m hoping Brix would be willing to take this risk as well. I think it will be better if I talk to Brix about it," Cris whispered.
Kenzie heaved a long deep sigh and said, "Yeah. You do that please, Cris. Coordinate this matter with Brix and you two execute the plan once he agrees to it. If he doesn\'t then we have no choice but to resolve matters legally…"
Cris nodded in understanding then followed with a frustrated sigh.
Kenzie looked at Cris and smiled as she commented, "I\'m glad that you two have reconciled this soon. Brix is serious about you and I\'m really happy for the two of you, especially you Cris… seeing how your love for him is being reciprocated."
Cris smiled back at Kenzie, then out of curiosity asked, "By the way, how did you find out that I love Brix?"
Kenzie chuckled and teased, "Well, it\'s so obvious Cris. I often noticed you sneaking glances at Brix and then you would smile unconsciously. I\'m sure it was just me who noticed it. I guess Aunt Lenny saw that too so she formulated the plan to use your attraction to her advantage."
"And besides, you don\'t use the connecting door to my office whenever I need you. I\'m not so naive that I could not guess why. Hehe…" Kenzie added with a grin.
Cris\' face reddened. She was not aware that she had been so obvious.
"I have witnessed how Brix never breaks his mother\'s heart, but he did it for the first time for you Cris. So that alone is a genuine move to prove how serious he is about you. I really hope that you two stay strong in this relationship. Stay with him Cris, no matter what, and be his strength especially at this time when he needs it." Kenzie added.
"I understand. Thank you so much for your support Kenzie. I will go talk to him now." Cris said and left Kenzie\'s office.
Kenzie grabbed her mobile phone to call Butler Mark and then talk to her father.
"Tell your husband that I want something to eat. He mentioned before that he is good at preparing that particular dish but I can\'t remember what\'s the name," she heard his father say on the line.
Kenzie chuckled and said, "Alright, I will tell him that. We will join you for dinner today, okay. I love you, Dad. Make sure you don\'t skip meals and work hard at getting better and follow the doctor\'s instructions."
"Yes, don\'t worry I will. Okay, you go work hard now and I will soon be back to help you out." her father said before he ended the call.
Kenzie smiled and whispered, "Just being back with me alive is enough Dad." She would not let her father kill himself with work again because he had done that for years. It was time for him to relax and enjoy life now.
*****
At Brix\'s office, his mother was once again there to torment him and convince him to follow her instructions.
"What is going on with you, Son. You were not like this before. What happened to you? Bring me back my old son!" she cried hard. She could not believe how Brix had changed just like that. She had worked hard just to succeed in taking over the company so there was no backing down now.
"Do I have to repeat myself all over again, Mom? I will no longer take part in your plans. So please stop with your greed. If Kenzie finds out what you are doing, you will end up in prison, Mom. As your son, I care about you and will keep telling you that it\'s not worth it! Don\'t give me the bullshit that you\'re doing this for me because I certainly do not need it!" Brix reiterated.
He felt as if his head would explode sometime soon as he tried to control himself from saying more nasty things to his mother.
"Let\'s stop going around in circles because I will say the same thing to you over and over again," Brix added.
He saw how her mother\'s face dimmed and she mocked, "Looks like asking you to seduce Cris backfired! That woman is poisoning your mind, Son! How dare that snake to try to snatch you away from me and brainwash you."
Brix wiped his face with his palm. He looked at his mother with a worried and concerned face. It was getting worse and he felt the need to take her for counseling.
He stood up and held his mother by her shoulders.
"Mom, relax. Please calm down. How are you feeling lately? How about we go see a doctor?" Brix said in a low tone.
"Why?! Do you think I\'m going crazy, huh?! Yes, I\'m going crazy and what will you do about it, huh?! If you will not support me Brix then I will do everything on my own! You will definitely thank me later once I succeed because I\'m doing all this for you!!!" her mother almost screamed before she abruptly removed his hands from her shoulders and rushed out of the door.
Brix heaved a long and frustrated sigh and massaged his temples as soon as his mother left. He must do something,? he could not just watch his mother destroy herself.? He could not help but take all the blame on himself for spoiling his mother so much from the start.
If only he had been brave enough to stand up to her from the start then maybe things would not be as chaotic as they are now. He knew that he too was to blame for why his mother had become worse because he had turned a blind eye to her actions for a long time, just to please her.
Outside, Cris saw Brix\'s mother walking down the hallway from Brix\'s office with a dark face. Brix\'s mother stopped just beside her and with a mocking smile said, "I heard you and Brix have reconciled. I should invite you home for? dinner, dear."
Cris didn\'t know how she should take Madame VC\'s words so she simply answered, "I will look forward to it, Madame."
Then Brix\'s mother proceeded to walk towards the elevator. Cris exhaled loudly and walked directly towards Brix\'s office.
