HOOLIGAN

Instead of a response, Beryl heard a beep as Kendrick ended the call.

"Dammed!" Beryl loudly yelled, his frustration boiling over. Beryl furiously redialed Kendrick's number, but his hopes were dashed as Kendrick declined the call again.

Upon reviewing the surveillance video that Kendrick had forwarded, he made it a priority to address the issue at hand. He promptly transmitted the footage to the manager of The Le Club along with detailed directives. As the owner of the club, Beryl felt a personal obligation to handle the situation directly. The mere thought of his sister discovering this issue was already causing Beryl a headache.

'She will definitely wreak havoc.' Beryl thought, rubbing his temples.

Beryl was puzzled as she thought about Kendrick. "Who the hell is he marrying? I never knew he dated anyone," Beryl murmured to herself.

Determined to find out, Beryl quickly dialed Alu's phone. "Alu! You had better tell me who Kendrick's woman is!" He demanded as soon as Alu picked up the call.

Alu winced and held the phone away from his ear as Beryl's voice boomed through the speaker. "Sir, please have mercy on me. My Boss will kill me!" Alu pleaded desperately.

"You mean you are not afraid of me?!" Beryl reprimanded him, her frustration palpable in his tone.

Beryl's furious response had left Alu feeling petrified. "Sir, of course, I'm afraid of you, but my boss is a hundred times scarier than you," Alu retorted.

"You! Alu, don't show yourself to me! Where is Kendrick?" Beryl had cursed Alu in his heart.

With a polite tone masking his fear, Alu replied, "He is currently in Meadows, Sir."

Beryl's terse response, "Good! I'm coming over," had sent chills down Alu's spine.

As he hung up the phone, Alu knew, 'I had to inform my boss about Beryl's potential arrival.'

Alu swiftly dialed his phone and informed Kendrick that Beryl was on his way.

"Did you disclose our location to him?" Kendrick inquired sternly, sending a shiver down Alu's spine.

"Sir, he asked for your whereabouts; I didn't anticipate his immediate arrival," Alu responded.

"Your bonus for the next three months is forfeited," Kendrick replied coldly before ending the call.

Alu "...."

Kendrick hurried back to the bathroom in order to check on Amelia, wanting to avoid Beryl's presence and spare Amelia any potential discomfort.

"Are you ready?" Kendrick asked softly.

"Yes, I was just about to step outside," Amelia responded, her voice sweet and gentle.

Kendrick found himself once again captivated by Amelia's natural beauty. Despite Amelia not wearing any makeup, her face emitted a radiant glow that Kendrick couldn't help but admire.

"Amelia, my dear, you look absolutely stunning," Kendrick complimented Amelia with sincere adoration.

"I didn't realize you were so eloquent with your words, Mighty Kendrick," teased Amelia.

"What did you just call me?"

"Mighty Kendrick."

"Looks like someone is asking for a punishment."

"No, no, no, Kendrick."

"Try again."

"Ken?"

"Again."

"Kenny?"

"No, I really hate that name; come up with something else. Otherwise, there will be consequences," Kendrick said firmly.

"How about Ken Ken?

Little Ken?

Brother Ken?

Honey?" Amelia suggested, her cheeks turning pink with shyness.

"Ah, that's better," Kendrick responded, rewarding Amelia with a gentle kiss.

They then walked out of the room, hand in hand, and found Alu waiting for them.

"Let's go."

Beryl arrived at Kendrick's house ten minutes after they left, only to find that Kedrick had already departed. Beryl had hurried over, leaving his sister behind at home, only to be met with an empty space upon his arrival. Beryl is beyond mad.

"Dammit! Kendrick!" Beryl yelled frustratedly and went back to his car.

Kendrick, seated in the car, suddenly sneezed.

'Beryl must be scolding me,' Kendrick thought with a chuckle.

Amelia, curious, asked, "What is so funny?"

Amused, Kendrick leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Oh, I remembered how cute you were last night."

"You!" Amelia blushed upon hearing Kendrick's words.

"Why are you so shy?" Kendrick asked, noticing Amelia's flushed face, and pulled her into his embrace.

Amelia hesitated and whispered back, "Your assistant is here."

"Don't worry, he can't see us."

Alu "...."

'Did the boss think I'm blind?' He could clearly see them in the rearview mirror.

"But he can hear us!" Amelia insisted.

"No, he can't."

Alu "...."

'And Boss thinks I'm deaf too! Ah! So this is how Boss is with Missus! Am I invisible in his eyes? Or should I make myself invisible?' He wondered about which one it should be.

"Boss, we have arrived," Alu announced.

Kendrick and Amelia are in a private room, having dinner at one of Kendrick's luxurious hotels. They were seated side by side.

"Amelia, don't you like the food?" Kendrick asked, a touch of worry in his voice as he noticed that Amelia had pushed her plate away.

"I'm full," Amelia replied, her gaze avoiding Kendrick's.

"But you hardly ate anything," Kendrick observed with concern.

"I'm just not used to eating a lot. And honestly, your stomach is much bigger than mine," Amelia responded, trying to make light of the situation.

"Are you saying my stomach is big?" Kendrick teased, taking her hand and placing it on his stomach. Amelia blushed as she felt the firm muscles beneath her touch; she had also seen Kendrick's muscular body.

"That's not what I meant!" Amelia exclaimed, pulling her hand away and lightly hitting Kendrick on the chest, causing him to laugh.

Amelia pointed out, "You have a larger build than I do, so you definitely need to eat more."

Kendrick gently placed his arm around Amelia and replied, "I really think you should eat more. I can barely hold you like this."

Amelia "!!!!"

Amelia couldn't contain her anxiousness. "You! You! Hooligan!" she cried out.

Kendrick, with a smug expression, retorted, "Oh, am I a hooligan? Would you like to see what a real hooligan looks like?" Kendrick grabbed Amelia's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, and moved his face closer to hers.

Amelia "!!!!"

Amelia's eyes widened in panic as she tried to push him away with both of her hands. "You! You! Finish your food!" Amelia insisted.

Kendrick chuckled and picked up his cutlery. With a playful smile, he sliced a piece of his steak and gently placed it in Amelia's mouth. "Come on, just a little more," Kendrick coaxed.

"But I'm really full," Amelia protested with a pout but eventually relented and took a bite of the tender steak in front of her.
