Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 85

Alice found it hard to fall asleep again after she went back to her bed.

She was intrigued by her elder brother's attitude toward Kendall.

After Kendall had moved into Dylan's residence, Alice never wanted a part of the bullying her mother and grandmother had promised to do to Kendall.

Who are we kidding?! Alice thought. Dylan wouldn't need our help if he really wants to take his revenge on Kendall.

He could make Kendall's life a living hell with just the lift of a finger.

With all that had happened earlier, Alice could feel herself gaining an interest in Kendall.

At the same time, Amos had returned to Dylan with the pair of shoes as requested by Dylan.

Dylan only flatly told him to give it to Kendall before he turned to her. "Take off your stilettos. Someone like you will only twist your ankles in them."

She obediently did as he said without putting up a fight.

She had only brought with her normal high-heels and sports shoes when she came over to stay.

"Your younger sister wears the same size as I do, huh?" Kendall exclaimed, only to be met by silence.

She knew that the conversations she brought up were too boring for a man like Dylan to be in the mood to idly chat with her.

After changing into the pair of kitten heels, she finally let out a relieved sigh as she said to him, "I will be heading out now, Dylan. Oh—and this is your present today."

She proceeded to take a small box out of her bag and passed it to him.

"What is this?" he indifferently asked, his hand reaching over.

"Don't worry; it is a present I bought for you. This one was quite pricey."

Dylan opened the box right after he took it from her, which had a luxury watch sitting in it.

"I will be heading to work now if there is nothing else. I'll see you tonight."

With that, Kendall leaned in and threw her arms around his neck as she quickly pecked him on his cheek. In fear that he would catch her and maybe break her legs, she let go of him and scurried away like a rat before he could push her away from him.

Amos couldn't help but feel relieved as he watched the couple's interaction.

Safe to say, he was starting to favor their brave young mistress more and more with each passing day.

Of course, she only acted this way because of Dylan's pampering.

It was still fresh in his head how timid she was when she had just moved to the Coleman Mansion.

After she was out of the living room, Dylan grabbed two pieces of tissue paper and wiped the spot that Kendall had smacked her wet lips on. He then grumbled in a slightly louder voice that Amos could hear, "How dirty! My face is wet with her saliva!"

Amos let out a smile as soon as he heard that.

He knew that Dylan didn't mean what he said.

Not to mention kissing, someone as skilled as Dylan was would not even let Kendall get near him if he really was repulsed by her kiss.

It was obvious that he liked it when she was intimate with him. He was only pretending to reject her out of pride.

Even though Dylan was complaining about her saliva, he noticed that receiving the present didn't do much to his mood as he stared at the watch.

It seemed like he prefered things that she made for him herself. They might not be worth a lot of money but still, they were handmade by her.

So what if Jackson was the man she used to be head over heels with? He had never received a handmade present from Kendall.

Oh, Kendall hasn't gotten the present back from Jackson! Dylan's eyes seemed to dim then. I will have

to remind her about it again.

…

The Parker Corporation mainly produced circuit boards. They might have expanded their business into other industries over the years, but they still mainly had their hands in circuit board production.

Kelly had once suggested to Adam to extend the Parker Corporation into the real estate business.

However, he hadn't adopted her idea then. Adam's opinion was that real estate was a flourishing industry that a lot of people had already taken a bite at, leaving not much but crumbs behind. Not only might he not even have a lick of the opportunities that remained if he were to get into the business, he might also be putting the company at risk.

After the driver for the Parker Family came to a stop at the company entrance, Kendall got out of the car and sent the driver back home before she went into the company.

"Good morning, Miss Kendall."

"Miss Kendall."

Every employee who saw her along the way respectfully greeted her.

Cameron, who happened to see her too, called out to her in surprise, "Miss Kendall? What are you doing here so early? You should talk to the president and Mrs. Parker at home if there is anything you would like to talk to them about. There is no need for you to come all the way to the company. This is a workplace. President Parker will only talk about work here."

Cameron did nothing to hide the contempt in her eyes as she looked at Kendall.

After Kendall greeted everyone else back, she coldly said to Cameron, "I am here to report for duty. I will be working here and become a part of this big family from today onward."

"You are here to report for duty? Which department will you be reporting to?"

This seemed like an important matter that Cameron would have to report to Kelly after this.

It had been a few days since Kelly last went to the company after her birth mother got into a car accident. The filial daughter had taken a leave in order to stay with her mother at the hospital.

"Definitely not the department you are in," Kendall replied swiftly, making Cameron click her teeth.

They then walked into the elevator together.

Cameron then noticed Kendall pressing the button to go to the top floor.

Despite knowing that Cameron would report to Kelly about her joining the company, Kendall decided not to bother herself too much with Cameron. There was no way Kelly wouldn't find out when Kendall was going to work at their own company. Still, Kendall thought she would have a few days where she could let down her guard since Kelly was on leave.

The elevator went up, making occasional stops at every floor. It didn't take long before Kendall was the only one left in the elevator.

Unlike the others, her destination was straight up.

Adam's secretary was already in her office by the time Kendall reached the top floor. As soon as her eyes fell on Kendall, she smilingly greeted her and brought her to the couch of the office. She also poured Kendall a glass of warm water. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Have you had your breakfast, Kendall?"

"Mhm."

Kendall had packed breakfast with her that she ate during her ride to the company.

It might be her family-owned company that she was going to work at, but it was inevitable to feel nervous on the first day of work at such a big company.

In her past life, she didn't even have her own freedom to be allowed to work after she married into the Whittle Family.

Jackson and Kelly would never have allowed her to, as their sole purpose was to take over the Parker Corporation.

Kendall was a complete newbie in business. She couldn't help but wonder if she could ever get used to the tricky world of business when she had only started getting herself involved.

She could only quietly give herself encouragement, Nothing is impossible in life. I am sure I can do anything as long as I am willing to learn.

In order to reverse the tragic ending of her previous life and become strong enough to take revenge on Kelly, Kendall knew she must adapt to the ups and downs in the business world by studying hard about the ways she could manage a business.

"I am sure you haven't taken breakfast, Ms. Secretary. Please, go ahead and eat. I will be sitting right here waiting for my dad—President Parker to come back. I will go to him when he does."

Kendall had automatically changed the way she addressed her father now that they were at the company.

That immediately brought a smile to the secretary's face. "I'll be off, then."

She was Adam's secretary. It was her daily routine to reach the office early, and she would always get herself breakfast to have at the office when she was on the way to the company.

Kendall only smiled in acknowledgement.

Adam finally arrived at the company a little past 8 AM.

As soon as he saw his biological daughter waiting by the door to his office, he immediately revealed a startled expression.

"Kendall? What are you doing here?"

"Daddy, I am supposed to report for work today. Weren't you the one who said you would personally guide me? I am here waiting for you."

As he listened to her, he hesitantly told her with a bashful laugh, "I almost forgot about it." He then opened his office door and brought her in.

After she closed the door behind her, he habitually asked, "How did Master Dylan react when he learned that you are to start working here today?"

She raised her hand into the air and pumped it. "He wished me luck."

Adam quickly let out the breath he was holding at that.

The elevator went up, making occasional stops at every floor. It didn't take long before Kendall was the only one left in the elevator.
