Kenzie felt tired after hours of sitting and reading so she decided to take a break. She went out to do some stretching and take a walk in the garden. After a while, she got up to get herself some fruit when she heard her aunt talking to one of her helpers.

  She shook her head and smirked at the thought that her aunt wanted to see her father and confirm if he was really sick. After hearing her aunt ask the helper and comment about her father having a vacation, Kenzie's nostrils started to flare but she quickly kept her poker face and smiled as she approached her and commented,

  "Why auntie? Is my father not allowed to enjoy some time alone to rest and relax after all the hard work he's been through in bringing the company to where it is now?" Kenzie's sweet voice echoed inside the living room."

  Kenzie instructed the helper to get her and her aunt some tea.

  "What can I do for you auntie? You rarely visit us so I'm surprised to suddenly see you here," Kenzie casually commented.

  "Well, I'm just here to check on your father since many employees noticed that he did not so well. I wanted to check up on his health," she lied through her teeth.

  Kenzie gave her a fainted smile as she commented, "Father is indeed exhausted that's why I told him to take a break. He deserves to enjoy himself for at least a week without thinking about the company after working nonstop. Don't you think I'm right auntie? In fact, I'm planning to follow him."

  "I also think I need to get some tanning so maybe I should join him as early as tomorrow," Kenzie added while she looked and touched her skin.

  Lenny's eyebrow lifted up as she stared at Kenzie, pondering whether the young lady was telling the truth.

  She moved her gaze away when Kenzie suddenly met her eyes and heard her say, "Oh, how about you join me as well auntie? It will be so much fun. Do you want me to book a ticket for you as well? I'm sure father will be happy knowing you and Brix will be joining us on our vacation. We will be like one big happy family."

  She then looked up and pouted her lips while saying, "Oh, I miss Uncle Jill. I wonder if he is now looking at us from heaven right now? It would have been nice if he was still here with us, having a vacation together… What do you think Aunt Lenny?"

  Lenny's facial muscles stiffened when she heard Kenzie mention her dead husband. She had thought that one week of Jack's absence would be an advantage to her and her son in pursuing their goal of taking over the company.

  Lenny plastered a fake smile and said, "Nah, the company needs me and Brix while brother Jack is away my dear. So I better stay and help your father take care of the company. You should go and enjoy your vacation"

  'Help my dad or stab him in his back?' Kenzie mused wryly. She hated this kind of scenario between families.

  If her memory was right, without her father, this woman who her Uncle Jill married would be left on the streets with nothing at all since uncle Jill's company went bankrupt before he died. Her father practically provided everything to that woman and her son since he vowed to his late younger brother that he would take care of his family.

  Money indeed could change a person. She sighed as she watched her aunt accept the tea their helper served.

  'What should I do to you, auntie? Up to what extent are you willing to go for your greed huh?' she helplessly thought.

  "By the way, how's your work? I heard you insisted on working at Sy Law Firm. Isn't that a bit far from what you really love? I thought you prefer traveling around, painting and taking photos of different places and nature? You also graduated in business administration so why choose a law firm?" she heard her auntie ask.

  "Well, I do love to travel more so maybe I will do that soon. You see I just want to try how it feels to work in the office but I found it so boring auntie. Dad wants me to try working under our company but I don't want to, so I agree to gain some experience by working in other companies.

  I also have some friends there so I thought it could be fun working with them. But… Nah… I never felt so bored in my life. Sitting in one area without moving all day. Looking at documents and then typing in laptops… Goodness!! Those were the most boring days of my life." Kenzie complained.

  As her father had once said, she indeed could have been a great actress if she pursued it but then she did not want the limelight so she only used her talent in acting when it was necessary just like now.

  She wanted to fool her enemies to catch them off guard later. She wanted them to continue thinking that she was still the same immature girl who did not care about business.

  "I really can't handle big obligations like a company. Good thing you and Brix are here to help my father auntie, I'm really grateful to you both," she added with a smile.

  "Well, I will surely take good care of the company in the future too. Kenzie, how about you convince your father to resign and let your cousin Brix be the next CEO? Brix is working hard and has dedicated his youth to the company so I think he deserves that merit," her Aunt Lenny boldly suggested, making Kenzie want to vomit because of her shamelessness.

  She might have agreed to it if she did not know the ugly truth of the mother and son pair who planned to overtake the whole company and backstab her father. If it was a suggestion with good intentions, she would have definitely agreed since they were all family after all. But that was not the case right now so she would not let that greedy woman have her way.

  Kenzie easily managed to plaster a beautiful smile on her face as she excitedly commented, "Oh that's such a great idea, Auntie! This way, dad can finally have time to join me in traveling more and having vacations together. Don't worry Auntie, I will definitely talk to dad about it…"

  "Oh, thank you, Kenzie dear. I have to leave now and go back to the company. I'll call you later……," Lenny bid and Kenzie simply nodded with a smile.

  "I guess being a vice-chairwoman is quite tough hmm," she said with a smile.

  "Indeed it is," Lenny answered with a fake smile as she added in her mind, 'That's why being the chairwoman best suits me…'

  Kenzie offered to walk her out but her auntie refused so she just watched her aunt's back as she left, totally out of her sight.

  "Enjoy that position while you can Auntie because if you make one wrong move… I will definitely put you back to the place you deserve…" Kenzie whispered with a sharp gaze.
