CHAPTER 17: CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: FIXING A SPOILED PRINCESS

Kendrick’s POV

"Is something wrong?" She asked me and I was about to reply when Curtis suddenly bent over with a painful expression.

"What’s wrong?" She rushed to support him and helped him to the sofa before bringing him a glass of water.

I just watched him as he did what he does best, pretending to be weak.

"How do you feel now? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Christy asked with a worried expression and he shook his head with a sigh.

"Ever since the kidnapping incident, I started having panic attacks, it happens anytime I am agitated or riled up" he said weakly and his face looked extremely pale.

He will definitely make it big if he ever decides to venture into acting.

"It’s so early in the morning, why would you be riled up?" Christy asked him and he quickly turned his face from her like he didn’t want to talk about it but I could see the smile he was trying to control.

"Ken what happened?" She asked me when he didn’t say anything.

"I just informed him about yesterday’s incident and he got so angry at the maid for daring to do so" I told her with a serious tone and she seemed to believe me as she smiled at me before turning back to him.

"Luckily, Ken wasn’t alone last night, it would have been disastrous if no one was with him. So you don’t need to be angry with the maid and affect your health" she advised him and his face immediately darkened in anger.

I smiled at him and he couldn’t do anything as he was busy maintaining his perfect image in front of Christy.

"It’s good to know that my brother is okay, I will leave now" he said before rushing out of the villa.

If he had stayed any minute longer, he would have definitely exploded.

"Do you feel he is acting strange?" Christy asked me while staring at the entrance.

"I didn’t notice anything strange" I said and she immediately dropped the topic without any further questions.

She always shows me the reason why she is different from other women.

From experience, some other women would have continued asking questions or even run after Curtis to make sure he was fine.

"Are you going to work?" She asked and I nodded in response.

"Do you have anywhere that you want to go today?" I asked her while arranging my files in my briefcase.

"No, I am just going to spend the entire day in the main house with Grandfather" she said excitedly and I couldn’t control my smile.

"Thank you for taking care of him" I expressed my appreciation with a smile.

"No more thank you. He is a very kind person and I liked him the moment we met" she said with a smile before running to the room.

I was already late for the office, so I hurriedly picked up my briefcase before leaving the villa. Evans was waiting in the car and we left as soon as I got in.

"Welcome back sir"

"We are glad to have you back"

On getting to the office, I saw a row of staff outside the building, waiting to welcome me.

"Thank you" I said to them before walking into the building with Evans.

"Good morning Boss" A female voice came from behind and I stopped to let her catch up with me.

"It’s good to have both of you back," Ashley, my personal assistant, said with an excited expression.

"It’s been a while, hope you have been good?" I asked with a smile.

She is one of the few female workers that I have to interact closely with. She is organized and most importantly, she follows all the rules properly.

"Sir, did you bring the papers for the land acquisition deal?" She asked and I stopped with a frown.

"Aren’t the papers supposed to be in my office?" I asked her and she quickly shook her head that I was wrong.

"You said it was too valuable to be left in the office to avoid people tampering with it" she reminded me and I finally remembered what happened before I traveled three years ago.

"We can’t hold the meeting without it," I said with a tired sigh.

"I know where it is, I can go get it from the villa" she suggested with a smile and I agreed.

She quickly rushed out of the building while I made my way to my office to prepare for my first meeting in three years.

Christy’s POV

After Kendrick left for the office, I quickly changed into a free gown and went to the kitchen to cut some fruits for grandpa.

I was busy cutting the fruits when I heard the sound of heels hitting the floor. I walked out to see who had entered the villa.

I saw a lady dressed corporately, she was busy searching one of the drawers in the sitting room.

"Who are you?" I asked her and she finally noticed my presence.

"I am the one that’s supposed to be asking you that question" she said while scrutinizing me with her eyes.

"I am Christy, Kendrick’s girlfriend" I introduced myself and stretched out my hand for a handshake but she didn’t take it.

"Everyone knows that Kendrick doesn’t date," she said with a mocking tone.

"He didn’t date before but that all changed when he met me" I said with a smirk and her expression twisted as she tried to swallow her anger.

She walked to my front and looked me in the eye with a hideous smile.

"I have been working with him for the past eight years and I know everything about him, his likes, dislikes, every fucking thing" she said with a triumphant expression.

"Oh, you are his PA?" I asked her with a smile and she raised her head with a proud smile.

" Knowing his likes and dislikes are part of your job as his PA, so I don’t understand what you are trying to say" I said while looking at her face, trying to appear as clueless as possible.

" I don’t have time for your nonsense" she said before turning back to searching the drawer.

I looked at her attitude and I could clearly tell that she had feelings for Kendrick.

"You must have watched a lot of dramas to be thinking that Kendrick would fall in love with you at some point.

Your little CEO and secretary fantasy will never become a reality, so you better focus on your job" I warned her before returning to the kitchen to continue cutting the fruits.

By the time I came out again, she was gone and I made my way to the main house with a tray of sliced fruits and yogurt.

"Grandpa" I called him as soon as I entered the main house. He was seated on one of the sofas in the sitting room and was watching the news.

"Christy dear, please sit down. You finally remembered this old man" he said with a smile and I laughed.

"You make it sound like I haven’t been around in ages" I said while laughing.

"I brought you fruits, I personally sliced them, I also brought yogurt and...." Before I could finish talking, Raina stormed into the sitting room and headed towards me with a fierce momentum.

Crash!

The tray of fruit was suddenly swept off the table and shattered on the ground.

"You bitch!" She yelled and stretched out her hands to pull my hair, I quickly side stepped her and she missed.

"Raina, what’s the meaning of this?!" Grandpa yelled while stomping his cane on the ground.

"Stay out of this old man, it is none of your business!" She yelled at Grandpa like he was a kid.

"How dare you huh?" She asked me while pushing my chest with a finger.

I controlled myself to avoid getting into a fight with her, the last thing I needed was Kendrick cleaning up my mess.

"You had the guts to have my best friend thrown out of my family’s beauty salon.

How dare you!

You don’t even deserve to hold her shoes, she is the top socialite and her presence commands respect. I don’t expect someone like you to understand it" she said angrily and that was when I noticed Celeste standing at the corner with a smirk on her face.

"Grandpa, calm down and let me handle this" I said and carefully helped him to sit on the sofa before facing Raina.

" You came in here, threw Grandpa’s fruit on the ground and also yelled at him" I counted everything she did since she stepped into the sitting room.

She can insult me, it’s nothing new and she only said some words, I am the one that gets to determine if I will let them affect me.

Dealing with a little spoiled princess is not a problem, she was nothing close to the crazy strip club girls that I have fought in the past.

Pah!

"That’s for yelling and disrespecting grandpa" I said after delivering a very hot slap to her, her cheek immediately turned red.

"How dare yo...."

Pah!

I interrupted her with another slap and she held her cheeks and stared at me in shock.

Celeste was also too stunned to speak, they probably expected me to be easy to bully.

"That is for wasting the fruits I brought for him" I said before calling a maid to clean up the mess.

"You bitch!" Raina yelled and I turned to see her rushing towards me with a vase.
