Chapter 120 - She grew up well (1/2)

"I would be busy with Jenny's case from here onwards. Tell my daughter that I would pick her up as soon as possible," said Layla as the trio made their way to the cars that were waiting for them.

A truck stops right behind their fancy cars.

Han Ye was talking on the phone as he checked the clipboard that the truck driver handed him.

When he saw them walking towards the car, he bowed before returning back to his work.

"Urgh..." Layla massaged her tense neck as she glared at DX.

When she woke up and saw him in the bed, she knew that he was the reason why she ended up in the couch.

When she thought about how he might have defiled her favorite protege in her presence, she tried to punch him but DX managed to wake up in time to dodge her sneak attack.

Unlike Layla, who was often dead to the world the moment she fell asleep, Kai Xin was a much lighter sleeper.

Naturally the movement made by DX caused her to wake up earlier than intended.

Luckily, she did. Otherwise, she might wake up to a bloody scene.

Those two were glaring at each other as if they wanted to skin each other alive.

It was only after she threatened to stop talking to either of them that they called it a truce.

Layla looked at her watch and told Kai Xin, "I have to meet someone in the city. So I would have to go first."

Kai Xin nodded, "Don't worry about Jenny. Tian Le would look after her until we find someone who can take care of her."

She went forward and hugged Layla, "We will have a dinner before you leave."

Layla grinned, "Of course. I won't leave my favorite protege without a goodbye."

"Mama Zhen! Are you leaving already?" one of the children shouted from the door.

Kai Xin went to the bunch of children waiting at the door and had a chat with them while Layla and DX watched on.

"Have you found out what happened to her?" asked Layla as she watched Kai Xin picked up the little one named Caleb and tossed him up high before catching him again.

From the way the children surrounded her, it was obvious that all of them loved their Mama Zhen very much.

DX nodded as he leaned back against the car that was here for Layla, "Almost."

More than 4 years ago, when he talked to Layla about his succeed in getting Kai Xin to agree to signing his contract, she had warned him about mistreating her protege. She had told him,

"Kai Xin is not like those women you dated in the past. She's been hurt before and I don't want to see her go through any pain again. So, don't you dare hurt her."

DX recalled questioning further about what she meant but Layla had merely told him to find out himself.

Layla turned to look at Kai Xin who was still playing with the kids.

As she thought about how Kai Xin was when they first met, she could not help but thought, "She grew up well..."

....

Roughly eight to nine years ago, Kai Xin had joined Layla's firm as an intern. At first, Layla did not paid much attention to her.

After all, most of the interns left after working with her for a few weeks.

However, Kai Xin managed to stay for 4 months and she even applied for a permanent position at the firm.
