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."
