The Law of Attraction

Sarah was laughing so hard that her stomach almost burst out due to the performance of the comedians. Her hands were clutching her stomach as she laughed wholeheartedly. Kyle, on the other hand, would sneak glances at her once in a while with a smile on his face unknowingly.

Sarah's laughs were priceless so he could not help but feel accomplished and most of all smitten as he stared at her. She looked more beautiful with that cheerful face of hers rather than her stern look often.

"What?" Sarah asked, feeling shy when she noticed Kyle was staring at her.

"Nothing. You look so beautiful when you are laughing," Kyle complimented with a roguish grin.

"Stop it!!" Sarah scolded as her face started to blush again.

Kyle chuckled, enjoying her coy expression.

"Just look at the show and focus on it. Stop staring at me you're making me feel uncomfortable," Sarah complained. When he still continued staring at her she even covered the side profile of her face from Kyle's view.

Kyle shook his head and followed Sarah's request. Sarah removed her hand and sneaked glances at Kyle who's eyes were now on the stage as he laughed along with the comedians and audience.

'Why does he always make my heart flutter… It's so unfair. I wonder if his heart also flutters like mine…" she mused with pouty lips.

After almost an hour, Sarah and Kyle decided to leave the comedy bar since both had to work tomorrow.

"We're here…" Kyle announced when he stopped the car at the entrance of her apartment building.

"See you tomorrow Kyle. I really had a great time today," Sarah replied with a small smile as she removed her seatbelt. She opened the car door to go out but paused.

She turned around and quickly gave Kyle a kiss on his cheek as she whispered, "Thank you."

She was in a hurry to step out of the car as her face was starting to flush again however she felt Kyle's tight grip on her wrist stopping her. When she turned around his lips landed on hers for a deeper and more passionate kiss.

"You owe me this for teasing me nonstop. I had already warned you earlier," Kyle whispered in between his kissing. Both were breathless by the time Kyle finally released her.

He let her breathe for a few seconds before his lips blocked hers kissing her again since he simply could not get enough of her lips. Sarah added fuel to the fire in him by responding to his kisses with equal intensity and passion.

"Goodnight Sarah. Let's see each other for breakfast tomorrow. I will pick you up…" Kyle said as Sarah stepped out of the car. She signaled him to leave first but Kyle insisted her to go inside the building first so Sarah walked inside, with light steps just like a teenager as she rushed inside the elevator.

Sarah finally squealed loudly as soon as she entered her apartment and ran towards her bedroom like a madwoman.

She jumped on her bed and buried her red face on the bed.

Then she sat, still giggling, mumbled, "I will go crazy at this rate."

She grabbed her phone and quickly typed Kyle a message because she forgot to tell those words to him.

[Drive safe and don't forget to call me when you get home.]

She was about to press send but halted.

"I sound demanding," she whispered before she quickly erased her text message and decided to just send the simple words 'drive safe'.

Kyle, who checked the message, smiled. As soon as he arrived at his apartment, the first thing he did was to send a reply to her.

[I'm home safe. Rest early and see you tom! ;)]

Sarah was already lying down when she read Kyle's text message. She bit her lip as she wiggled on her bed. Now she finally knew how it felt to have someone like you… She did not expect to be this overwhelmed but she was glad she experienced something like this at her age.

She fell asleep with a smile on her face.

*******

At Chua Mansion.

Kenzie was feeling a bit lonely and kept sighing inside her room. Daryl had dropped her home but she bid him farewell as soon as they reached. She wanted to spend more time with him but she knew that she shouldn't do it so she did not even bother to ask him for a cup of tea inside their house.

"Geez, I'm so stingy! After he bothered to do so much and help Sarah, I should at least treat him to dinner right?" she whispered, regretting being strict on herself at times like now.

She grabbed her phone to call Butler Mark who was always with her father.

After making sure that her father was okay, she finally laid down on her bed to sleep.

She stared blankly at her ceiling and wondered if she would dream of Daryl tonight or if it would be another nightmare of various memorization and strategies pertaining to their company. Over the past few nights, she was thinking about businesses' pros and cons even in her dreams.

She was about to sleep when her phone started ringing.

"Yes? Is there any news?" she asked with a sullen voice. She had instructed her trusted security team to make a quiet investigation on all of the board members. She wanted every single detail about them including the small things that were unreported. Almost half of the board members were supporting her auntie so she had to turn the tables soon.

She smirked and said, "Good, I want everything on my table first thing in the morning. It's time to get those bastards one by one. I need to wrap things up as the new CEO before dad's surgery so make sure you squeeze in every last drop of information about those two faced bastards."

She ended the call after giving out further instructions. Managing a company with such ungrateful parasites could be really exhausting. She applauded her father on how he handled everything on his own.

"Oh please God let me have a good dream about Daryl instead of numbers!" she mumbled and closed her eyes trying her best to sleep.
