Chapter 688: I Like Bad Guys
Daryl raised his eyebrows as he said, "Are you questioning me, Kimmy?! Or scolding me?!"
Kimmy bit her lower lip realizing her heated tone and she immediately replied, "I'm sorry, Sir. Of course, I'm neither questioning nor scolding you. Oh my gosh, my mouth! I'm sorry Sir if my tone offended you. You know how dedicated I am to my work so I took it to heart when you and Ma'am Kenzie asked me to? take care of Harry and make sure he recovers well and attend to all his needs."
Daryl shook his head. Kenzie had brought it to his attention that something was going, smiling on between Kimmy and Harry but Daryl had laughed at the idea. But now he could tell that his wife was right.
"Alright then. I just want to know when he can finally leave the hospital and come rest at home. You see, Kenzie and I feel bad about asking you to look after Harry. Maybe I should ask Meng to go there," Daryl teased Kimmy with a smirk.
"No! Meng is taking care of your father and the Cha mansion. You don't need to disturb the poor old lady with such matters, Sir. Really, I can take care of Harry. I will inform you as soon as the doctor tells me when Harry can finally leave." Kimmy quickly answered.
Daryl chuckled and said, "Alright, I bet he wants to go home since Harry is someone who hates his privacy being invaded, especially by a woman. Maybe I should hire a male to take care of him when he returns home."
"He's going back home to Cha mansion?" Kimmy asked. Realizing she was being too inquisitive, she immediately added, "Sorry Sir. I didn't mean to pry."
"Well, you're interested in him so it's only natural. Anyway, just inform me when Harry can leave the hospital. And yes, the mansion is always open for Harry's return whenever that be. Father would prefer that Harry stays at the mansion." Daryl commented. He and Kenzie were still undecided about where they will live permanently, at the Cha Mansion or the Chua Mansion.
Daryl was honestly okay with staying anywhere as long as he was with Kenzie and he knew Kenzie would prefer to stay with her father.
He heaved a sigh. He had asked Harry to leave the mansion so he was not sure if Harry would come back readily. Kenzie was right that Harry loved Daryl's father like his own so it would be better if Harry stayed with his father at the Cha Mansion,? especially if Daryl and Kenzie decided to stay at the Chua Mansion.
He heard Kimmy heave a long sigh before she spoke, "Can I also be assigned there to take care of him? I mean, I think he is more comfortable with me now."
Daryl did not know how to react to such a shameless comment. It looked like Kenzie's favorite bodyguard, whom she also saw as a big sister, had managed to assimilate his wife's shamelessness while the two were together.
"Sir?" Kimmy asked because all that she heard was silence. She knew she was acting boldly but she could not help it. Kimmy had learned from her Boss Kenzie to always say what she really feels and not be ashamed in showing her true feelings to someone.
She liked Harry. She always had a soft spot for bad people who were changing for the better, not to mention how good-looking Harry was.
"Kimmy, you should talk to Kenzie about it since she's the one who hired you. I'll be hanging up now, okay." Kimmy heard Daryl say before he ended the call.
Kimmy emitted a frustrated sigh as she looked at the door to Harry's room. She had left him inside to answer Daryl's call. He woke up late so he was having a late breakfast.
She went back inside with a sweet smile plastered on her beautiful face.
"Do you want more sandwiches?" She asked as she grabbed the spread to make him some more.
"No, I'm good. I'm already full," Harry whispered. Kimmy was a nice young lady but he felt a bit awkward about how good she was at taking care of him or maybe he was just not used to a woman's presence for long.
"How old are you Harry?" Kimmy asked to start a conversation, even though she was well aware of Harry's profile having checked it using their agency's database. She was glad she was part of an elite security team because of her Uncle who held a good position in the company. She had been able to check a lot of important details like Harry's profile.
"Daryl and I are of the same age. Twenty-eight," Harry answered plainly.
"Hmm, you're five years older than me since I'm twenty-three. I heard you will go back to the Chua mansion. I told Sir Daryl that I can attend to you there as well while you recuperate as I also have a background in medicine. I was a nursing graduate so I can attend to your wounds." Kimmy said.
"Huh? How did you end up becoming a bodyguard?" Harry asked. It made Kimmy very happy whenever Harry showed any interest and asked for any details about her.
"Oh, this is not permanent. I have good fighting skills, so my uncle asked me to work part-time at their agency while I was still undecided about what career to pursue next.
I passed all the required credentials at their agency and even surpassed some of their regular employees. You are probably wondering why I do not work at the hospital since I'm a nurse. Well, during the internship, I realized that I don't really like to work in a hospital. I took the course because my friends were taking it. So I just followed them. You see I don't have an exact goal about my career yet, to be honest."
Harry's eyebrows creased as he mumbled, "And do you enjoy being a bodyguard? Where your life is often in danger?"
Kimmy directed a sweet smile at Harry and she asked candidly, "Are you? concerned about me now?"
"Huh? I'm just curious to know if you enjoy this kind of work instead," Harry quickly answered and saw Kimmy had a teasing grin on her face.
"You're blushing and you look so handsome. Anyway, since you're curious then I will let you know that I enjoy working for Boss Kenzie since she treats me like a big sister. But I will probably enjoy taking care of you more so you must accept it at once if Boss Kenzie assigns me to you when you are ready to leave the hospital."
Harry's eyebrows snapped up as he retorted, "Why should I when I don't even need a bodyguard and besides I can take care of my own wounds myself."
"But you are the company's CEO and Vice-Chairman so you will definitely need a bodyguard when you return to work. Individuals at these positions are prone to kidnapping," Kimmy reasoned, making Harry laugh.
"Are you kidding me? Why would I need a bodyguard and a lady bodyguard on top of that? No way. Kimmy, I really appreciate what you are doing here by taking care of me but please don't be so clingy. I am not a good guy so you must keep your distance from me ." Harry commented. He could tell that Kimmy seemed like she had a crush on him but he had no time for it.
Kimmy pursed her lips, unable to find the words to counter Harry at all.
He shrugged her shoulders and whispered, "Okay fine, I won't be clingy. But I like you. I like bad guys who have turned good, you know."
Harry blinked his eyes as he stared in disbelief at Kimmy, who was smiling beautifully in front of him.
"Are you insane?" he asked, wondering if he had heard her correctly.
"Of course, I am perfectly sane, if a bit tactless. Anyway don't worry, we can be just friends but I will definitely push myself on you," Kimmy said with a roguish grin.
Harry did not know how to react to her words at all. He was speechless because he never expected Kimmy would say it like that to his face.
Kimmy was grinning hard seeing how red Harry's face had turned. She was not overconfident but something was telling her that Harry was getting affected by her presence. She felt like Harry needed someone like her in his dull life at this moment.
She directed a playful smile at Harry before saying, "I'm just playing with you. Geez, I can't believe I got you! I mean I only like you as a friend. I could be someone you can lean on, a shoulder to cry on or to confide in about all your worries since I'm good at all that."
"You mean you will not be assigned to me once I return? home?" Harry asked because he would not dare ask Kenzie or Daryl if they would ask Kimmy to stay on at Cha Mansion like they had assigned Kimmy to stay with him in the hospital.
"Why? Are you disappointed that I will go back to Boss Kenzie once you are discharged from here?" Kimmy teased.
"Of course not. You should go back to Kenzie right now if needed." Harry mumbled.
Kimmy's mouth twitched as she said, "Don't worry I will leave you alone very soon. Tsk. I'm sure you will miss having a bubbly friend like me around."
Harry ended up laughing. Lately, he has managed to laugh often because of Kimmy. And he would surely miss her once they parted ways.
