The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 305

In no time, Avery brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to Kendrick. “Here's the coffee you wanted, Mr. Kendrick.”

Then, she returned to her seat and continued working in all seriousness.

Kendrick took a few sips of the coffee.

Hmm, it's just rich enough, both smooth and fragrant! Sure enough, it tastes different from the coffee others brew.

Flashing her a thumbs-up, he asked intriguingly, “You're indeed good at brewing coffee, Ms. Rumpley. Did you study it in the past?”

Right then, he sincerely felt that she was something else. Aside from being beautiful, she's got a decent personality. Even the coffee she brewed tastes better than those brewed by others.

Without taking her eyes off the computer, Avery answered casually while envisaging the design draft. “A bit.”

At that time, I had just given birth to the two kids abroad. Not only was I depressed, but I also faced financial constraints, so I had to work part-time at a coffee shop. Casting my mind back on it, a whole five years had passed before I even realized it. Verily, time flies!

In response, Kendrick nodded thoughtfully. Subsequently, he rubbed his chin. “Can you cook, then?”

Well, it would be nice for me to help Cayden understand her better.

Busy with work, Avery lifted her eyes and swept her gaze over him. Is he all that free? Can't he see that everyone is swamped with work? Yet, he's chatting with me here. He's the vice president, so he can do whatever he wants, but I've still got to get busy since I'm only small fry!

At the side, Yulissa couldn't help interjecting, “Mr. Kendrick, girls nowadays are more pampered, so there aren't many who can cook. I'm sure she can't cook. But my father is a chef. As long as I can remember, I've been learning to cook from him. I...”

She bragged about her cooking skills to Kendrick, only to see that he wasn't listening. Instead, he stood behind Avery calmly, watching as the latter went about the design draft.

In that instant, such rage blazed within her that her face contorted.


Some of the female colleagues around her noticed her buttering up to Kendrick and blowing her own trumpet before him, only to be wholly ignored. They all stifled their laughter, making Yulissa feel all the more mortified.

She shot a deathly glare at those colleagues laughing at her before stalking back to her office in high heels.

Meanwhile, Kendrick continued studying Avery as she worked diligently.

Despite her benign countenance, her expression was solemn. Her tight jawline added a hint of maturity to her, rendering her enthralling beyond words. However, his brows imperceptibly furrowed when he made out the contents of her work.

“Good morning, Mr. Moore!” Cecelia stood up and exclaimed all of a sudden, snagging the attention of the employees of the design department.

At once, everyone swung their gazes over and saw Cayden walking in.

He wore a tailored black suit that outlined his muscular physique perfectly, but his expression was overly indifferent. His intense and domineering aura hit the employees right in the face, making them shudder uncontrollably.

All of them greeted him, to which he inclined his head slightly in response.

“Brew me a cup of coffee, Avery.”

The instant he saw Kendrick standing behind Avery while bending down with little distance between them, chagrin marred his face. Coldly giving that order, he instructed his brother to follow him before spinning on his heel and leaving the design department. After entering the elevator, he headed back to the CEO's office on the top floor.

So... did Mr. Moore come here to order a coffee or to look for his brother?

No matter which it was, it was bizarre in everyone's eyes.

“Wait for me, Cayden! Why are you wearing such a frosty expression? No wonder everyone dubs you Lucifer.” Kendrick hurriedly chased after Cayden.

The employees around them gasped in shock. He's the only person bold enough to call Mr. Moore “Lucifer” to his face!

“Cayden, Avery is pretty decent. Not only is she beautiful, but she's even skilled at brewing coffee. If she weren't your woman, I would be interested in pursuing her,” Kendrick remarked with a grin while sitting on the couch in the CEO's office.

Cayden's expression turned icy. “It seems that you're really too free these days that you still had the time to go to the design department to shoot the breeze. It's okay. We haven't secured the contract over at East Alendor, so you can go over and negotiate it the day after tomorrow.”

Immediately, Kendrick groaned, “Don't be so cruel, Cayden. You know that my passion doesn't lie in business. That aside, you're well aware of my love for the arts. Aren't you afraid I'll ruin things when you send me to such an isolated place to negotiate a contract?”

“If you ruin things, you don't need to come back. Just stay and gain some experience at the branch office there,” Cayden threatened.

Kendrick choked, words eluding him.

He's definitely not my biological brother. If he were, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to force me into going there!

While they were talking, Avery had already brewed a cup of coffee and delivered it to the CEO's office.

To that end, she traveled far and wide.

Just as she stepped into the CEO's office, she heard Kendrick declaring, “Cayden, this coffee Avery brewed is pretty good. Can I have her brew me a cup of coffee daily henceforth?”
