Chapter 620
"You're busy, aren't you?"
"That I am."
"Sure. Talk later." Amelia had nothing to do but fool around. I shouldn't waste her time.
"Have fun out there. And come back soon."
"You miss me, don't you?"
"Of course."
Amelia chuckled. "He's not with you, is he? I bet he's going to be really angry if he heard that."
"We're both working. And he's not that territorial. If you're a guy, then he's gonna get jealous, but you're a girl, so…" Kendall blushed a little. She was reminded of the time Dylan got jealous of Scott.
Amelia smiled, but she said nothing.
The call came to an end, and Kendall returned to her father's office.
Adam had finished signing the file, and he gave it to her. "Show a bit more results and I can promote you. Then, we can shut those people up." Even if he did promote Kendall right now, the only one who would protest was Kelly.
Kelly's lackeys were smarter than she gave them credit for. They knew Adam wanted Kendall to inherit the company. Besides, Kendall had a big family supporting her. Kelly was no match for her, and they were slowly drifting away from Kelly. No longer did they want to support her.
"I'll do my best, Dad."
"Work hard. I know you will, but please don't push yourself too hard. Your baby needs its mother to be healthy," said Adam. He was worried Kendall might push herself and hurt the baby. That would be bad.
Kendall smiled. "Don't worry, Dad. I will. I won't push myself. I'll be going home tonight. Dylan is coming too. And we'll be staying until next Wednesday. They'll be sending the gift list our way on Tuesday."
"So, I've been told. Your grandpa called this morning." Adam put his pen down and happily chatted with his daughter. This was a private moment. "It's been a while since you two got officially married. This wedding should've come sooner. It's a weight off my shoulders, you know. Yeah, I know Dylan's been nice to you, but as long as there's no wedding, there's a chance he might dump you again." Only after they held the wedding would Adam believe that the Colemans had accepted Kendall.
"Sorry I worried you."
"Oh, don't mention it. We owe you a lot. We'll invite the Colemans for dinner next Tuesday. It's an important affair, so call the Woods. If they have time, invite them over."
Kendall said thankfully, "Thank you, Dad." The Woods would come if it was an invitation by Kendall.
"They've raised a great woman. We should thank them. We shouldn't have stopped you from contacting them."
"They won't mind, Dad." All they want is for me to be happy.
Adam smiled. "I know. Tell your mother we'll be having dinner at home tonight."
"Sure."
"If nothing else, you may leave now."
"Of course, Dad." Kendall took the file and left.
Adam saw her off and went back to work after she closed the door.
And then Yasmine called Kendall. "Kelly wouldn't see you? And she told the guards to chase you off?" That's surprising. "I thought she was trying to mend your friendship." She has no friends now.
Yasmine grumbled, "As if. She's trying to con Brian again. And that idiot is gonna fall for it again."
Oh, this is some tea. "What did she do this time?"
Brian walked into the trap willingly. He loves Kelly, but Kelly picked the wrong person from the start. None of this would have happened if she hadn't chosen Jackson. It would be bad news for Kendall if Kelly did go with Brian because Brian was a lot tougher than Jackson.
"Do you have time, Kendall? Let's talk over coffee."
"I don't drink coffee now. It'd keep me up all night." She didn't tell Yasmine about her pregnancy. They
were no longer romantic rivals, but they could never be friends even though Yasmine trusted her a lot more now.
"The drinks don't matter. What matters is if you have time. If you can't make it, tell the guards to let me in. I'm gonna tear that b*tch apart. I can't believe her. And I can't believe Brian either. Mom is gonna get a heart attack one of these days." Yasmine was livid.
"It's working hours, Miss Zorn. You can't just barge into our company's VP's office."
Yasmine hissed, "I don't care. If you're not helping, I'll wait right outside your company. She's bound to come out eventually."
"What did she do this time? You are furious."
"We'll talk over whatever you want. I just need someone to hear me out. Honestly, I can't believe I used to be friends with her. I'm part of the reason Brian is head over heels for her." Yasmine hated Kelly's guts. She'd tear Kelly apart if she could.
Kendall mused over it. "Fine, but only for a bit. I've been busy lately."
"Gimme half an hour. I can finish this in half an hour."
Half an hour? What did Kelly do this time to make her this angry? Even her mom is pissed? Yasmine came to yell at her, but Kelly told the guards to deny her entry. Something's wrong. A few minutes later, Kendall came to the coffee shop beside the company and ordered a glass of warm water, though she barely touched it.
Yasmine ordered a cup of coffee and cursed away while she was stirring her drink. But all she said was how shameless Kelly was.
"Yasmine, is that the extent of your creativity in verbal abuse? C'mon, give me the details. What exactly did Kelly do this time?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Yasmine whipped out a recorder from her bag and handed it to Kendall. "Turn down the volume. I don't want anyone else to hear it. This is scandalous."
Curious, Kendall took the recorder.
