Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 525

Kendall and John ate lunch together, sharing a pleasant conversation during their meal. However, he would change

the subject whenever the topic of their cooperation was brought up.

In that way, she learned that this man was arduous to deal with even though he seemed rather easygoing.

It just so happened that she did not have a deep understanding of Good-Trust Electronics. Hence, she felt that it

would not be too late to discuss the cooperation once they had gotten to know each other better.

After the meal, Kendall walked John out of the hotel.

"Have a safe trip, Mr. Read."

John turned around and gave her a deep look before he broke out into a smile. "If we get the chance, let's…"

"Sure."

"Bye."

He got into his car and quickly drove away.

When Kendall could no longer see John's car, she finally called Henry and asked him to come and pick her up.

Henry happened to be nearby, so it only took him a few minutes to arrive by car.

"Young Mistress Kendall." He held the car door open for her.

After she entered the car, she quickly instructed, "No need to go back to the company. Please head straight to the

Coleman Empire Holdings."

It was almost time to get off work, and she was too lazy to return to the company. Therefore, she decided to head

over and pick her husband up from work instead.

The only catch was that she had already eaten. At this rate, she would no longer be able to eat dinner with her

husband later.

"Alright," he answered respectfully.

Kendall soon arrived at Coleman Empire Holdings. When the car approached the company entrance, she

immediately noticed a familiar figure. It was her brother, Roger Woods.

Roger was holding a large bouquet of flowers and standing there peering inside.

She quickly asked Henry to stop the car.

Roger turned around to look at the car driving toward him upon hearing the sound of a car engine behind him.

When he saw that it was his younger sister, he smiled in embarrassment and greeted her. "Hey, Kendall."

"Roger." Kendall glanced at the bouquet of flowers in his arms and grinned from ear to ear. "Not bad. Looks like

you're a man of action."

He blushed furiously and declared wholeheartedly, "Since I already have a goal in mind, it's only right that I take the

first step in the right direction. I wonder what time Miss Finley gets off work."

"How long have you been waiting, Roger?"

"Not that long. I arrived at 10:30AM."

She looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then glanced at her sweat-drenched brother and criticized him. "Why

didn't you bring an umbrella? It's too hot out here. Emma usually leaves the office at noon. Sometimes, she might

even be out on a business errand. She's not always at the company. Didn't you give her a call before you came?"

He shook his head. "I didn't want to disturb her at work, so I didn't call her. However, I did check with the security

guard. She is currently working inside the company and did not go out."

Glancing at the time, he continued, "There are only ten minutes left before she gets off work. I'll wait a little longer.

Kendall, are you here to wait for Master Dylan so that you can go home together?"

"Yeah. I just finished meeting with a client. Seeing as it's almost time to clock out, I decided against going back to

the company and came straight here to pick Dylan up from work. Roger, it's so hot and sunny outside. Why don't

you wait inside with me?"

He refused her offer. "I don't want to disturb Miss Finley while she's at work. Kendall, I'm not scared of the sun and

the heat. You should hurry up and go inside. There's no need to worry about me."

Though she couldn't possibly leave her brother outside and go inside alone.

"You don't need to follow me upstairs, Roger. You can wait for Emma in the VIP room on the first floor. I will let

Emma know."

He knew that his sister would stubbornly insist on waiting with him if he continued to stand here. Although he was

not afraid of the heat, he couldn't bear to let his younger sister stand under the blazing sun. He hesitated for a

moment before he asked, "Is it okay for me to go inside?"

"It's fine. Visitors generally wait on the first floor after they register themselves at the reception desk."

Only then did he feel a little more relieved.

He was here to court his love interest. Hence, he did not want to disrupt the operations of Coleman Empire Holdings

by his identity as Dylan's brother-in-law.

With the wife of the president leading him, he easily walked into Coleman Empire Holdings.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help feeling rather nervous. It was his first time walking into such a large company in his

life.

Considering that Emma was not only working at such a large company but also serving as the secretary of the

president, he suddenly felt proud about his eye for people. The woman he loved was such an outstanding person.

"Roger, are you sure you won't go upstairs with me?" Kendall asked while walking.

Roger chuckled in amusement. "Kendall, I have no interest in being the third wheel."

Feeling a little speechless, she made a snippy retort. "You've gotten better at jokes, Roger."

"Master Dylan has a strong desire to monopolize you. Even if we're your brothers, he doesn't like us hanging around

you all the time. What's more, we're siblings who are not related by blood. That's why he's so guarded against Nell

and me."

Roger was an honest and sincere man, but he was not a fool. The truth was that he simply kept quiet despite what

he knew.

She could not refute his words.

Her husband was indeed a jealous man.

He honestly wished that he could become the only man in her eyes. In fact, he would become extremely unhappy if

any other men, including her father, even talked to her or looked her way.

"Kendall, please don't tell the others that I am your brother."

"Why?"

"I don't want to place pressure on Miss Finley just because I am the brother-in-law of Master Dylan."

She considered her brother's request for a moment and agreed easily.

"Mrs. Coleman." When the two receptionists saw Kendall coming through the doors, they hurriedly stood up and

greeted her respectfully.

Kendall smiled in return, then she spoke to the two receptionists. "This man is here to visit Miss Finley. Please let him

rest in the VIP room and inform Miss Finley of his presence when she comes down."

Roger was not willing to reveal the fact that they were siblings, so she naturally did not expose this fact to the

others.

When the receptionists took in the flower bouquet in his hands and heard he was here to meet Emma, they

immediately realized the purpose of his visit—to court Emma.

There was a time when Emma kept receiving flowers delivered to her by the florist. However, they had never seen

the person courting her before. It was not until today that they finally saw the actual person in the flesh.

Although Roger was not as handsome as Toddy, he had decent looks and a bashful air around him. He seemed to

be an honest man.

No wonder the person who gifted flowers to Emma for so long did not dare to show himself until now. It turned out

that he was a shy man.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Coleman. We will make sure to inform Miss Finley when she comes down."

One of the receptionists politely invited Roger into the VIP room so that he could wait for Emma there.

Kendall finally went upstairs by herself once she saw that her brother was in good hands. It didn't take long for her

to arrive at the top floor.

And it happened to be just after working hours.

"You're here, Kendall."

As soon as Emma walked out from the president's office with an armload of documents, she saw Kendall and smiled

in greeting. "No wonder President Coleman seemed so restless just now. It turns out that you're here."

"Stop teasing me. I came over without telling him, so he doesn't know yet."

"You don't need to tell him. You and President Coleman are spiritually connected." Emma teased Kendall lightly. "You

should go in. President Coleman is waiting for you."

"Let's have a meal together someday."

"That'll be during the weekend, I guess. I'm not free during the week," she replied. Mulling over something for a

moment, she called out to Kendall again and continued, "President Coleman asked me something this morning."

"What is it?"

"He asked if I'm willing to go over and help you."

Kendall turned around and looked at Emma. She said, "Emma, I'm more than happy to have you if you're willing.

But, if you're not willing, then please turn him down. He won't blame you for your decision."
