Leonel added his signature and stamp as well, and the contract was duplicated with each of them owning a copy. After that, their secretaries kept the contracts away.
Kendall stood up and extended her right hand to Leonel. After he shook hands with her, she smiled and said, "Mr. Dawson, I'm looking forward to working together with you."
"So am I."
Leonel shook Kendall's hand out of obligation, but he quickly retracted his hand. Just the day before, he had wanted to touch Kendall even more, but today, he didn't dare to touch her even if she allowed him to.
"Miss Parker, you must be very busy. I won't take up your time anymore. I'll be taking my leave."
Leonel didn't dare to spend too much time with Kendall as he was still a little embarrassed on one hand, and he was afraid of Dylan as well.
"I'll see you out, Mr. Dawson."
Kendall didn't make him stay either and politely sent him and his secretary out, all the way to the elevator. When the two entered, she turned around and walked back.
Jessie handed her the contract and congratulated her with a smile, "Kendall, congratulations on signing your first contract. Prestige Electronics is making such a big order. I bet the people in the sales department are going green with envy now."
"It was just blind luck."
Kendall knew very well that she did not secure the contract with Prestige Electronics through her own abilities. Although Leonel wanted to break the rules for her, he also valued Parker Corporation's power, and Kelly gave him a satisfactory offer where he was able to back out if he wanted. At most, her contribution was convincing him to sign the contract over a few glasses of wine.
"Either way, since you were the one who signed the contract, it's your accomplishment. President Parker will be really happy."
Jessie was a sharp person. After Kendall entered the company and was taken around by Adam in order for her to learn about the company, she immediately knew that Adam was training Kendall. Although Kelly was the vice president of the company, it was still unknown who would take over Parker Corporation in the end.
"I'll go and let President Parker know."
Kendall walked toward her father's office with the contract in her arms. Jessie smiled, then returned to her office to continue with her work.
Meanwhile, in the vice president's office, Kelly couldn't seem to calm down and work. She threw her pen away and leaned back on the swivel chair, spinning back and forth.
After a while, she pressed on the internal line. When Cameron answered the phone, she asked, "Have Miss Parker and Mr. Dawson signed the contract?"
Cameron knew that Kelly was upset. At first, Kelly was in charge, but in the end, it was Kendall who went forward to sign the contract with Leonel. Even if it was requested by Leonel, Cameron still felt that it was unfair for Kelly.
"I saw Mr. Dawson's car leaving our company earlier. They must've already signed the contract," Cameron reported. She had been paying attention, after all.
Kelly slammed the phone down loudly, startling Cameron.
After putting down the phone, Cameron whispered to the colleague in front of her, "Vice President Parker is furious."
The person answered in a low voice, "Everyone else would be angry. Vice President Parker was the one who took the initiative to personally negotiate a cooperation with Prestige Electronics, and Miss Parker was just sent by President Parker to learn from her. Now that the deal has been sealed, all the credit went to Miss Parker while Vice President Parker didn't get anything. Why wouldn't she be angry?"
Cameron sighed and whispered, "There's no way for an adopted daughter to compare with the biological daughter. What did Miss Parker do? She just drank a few glasses of wine with Mr. Dawson, booked a room for him, and helped him back to his room. Who knows how she made Mr. Dawson decide on her."
"Miss Sanders." The colleague's eyes lit up at her words. She said nosily, "You can only say something like that in front of us, but don't go around spreading it to others. Now, she's not only the biological daughter of the Parker Family, but also the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family. I'm sure you know how powerful Master Dylan is."
"Am I wrong, though? If she didn't do something like that, why would Mr. Dawson settle on her?"
Cameron had deliberately said that to make her get the wrong idea. She whispered, "I heard that Master Dylan has been unable to do that ever since he got into the car accident. Miss Parker must've felt lonely and frustrated, so she…"
She blinked at her colleague with a knowing expression, and the two of them exchanged a disdainful look. After chatting for a while, the colleague left. Cameron pondered for a moment before she got up and entered the pantry to make coffee for her superior.
…
In Coleman Mansion, Emily received more than a dozen photos of Frank pestering Kendall earlier that morning on her phone. After she saw the photos, she was instantly furious and slammed her phone on the coffee table loudly, startling Fergus, who was drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Even Alice, who had just returned from Pet Palace, was taken aback.
After she exchanged glances with her father, both father and daughter were sure that the other did not make Emily angry.
"Mom, what happened? Who made you angry? Tell me. I'll teach them a lesson for you!" Alice walked over and sat next to her mother, then took her arm and asked sweetly, "Who dared to make my dearest mother angry? Are they tired of living or what?"
Emily picked up her phone and opened the photos with the intention of showing them to her daughter,
but when Alice was about to take the phone, Emily retracted her hand again after thinking of something and refused to let her have a look.
"Mom, what's on your phone?" Alice asked curiously.
"Don't look. It's just something unsightly."
"Mom, is Dad cheating on you, and his mistress is provoking you, his actual wife?"
Emily was rendered speechless.
Fergus nearly jumped up from his seat. "Ally, don't drag me into this. I don't have any other women apart from your mother. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her."
"Then, what unsightly thing made Mom so angry?"
"Ally, it has nothing to do with you. Go out and play somewhere else."
"Who am I going to play with? All my brothers have jobs, and I'm the only one who's lazing around at home." Alice pouted. "Mom, you won't let me work either. I think that Kendall is doing quite well. What's embarrassing about working and earning money with your own hard work?"
Alice's words made Emily nervous, and she immediately warned her solemnly, "Ally, you are the daughter of the Coleman Family, which makes you a distinguished person. You can't act like Kendall. How can she compare with you? You should stay away from her in the future. Don't let her be a bad influence on you."
She had finally given birth to the apple of her eye, Alice, after the Coleman Family had not had a daughter for five generations, so how could she be compared with a country bumpkin like Kendall? For her daughter, the most important thing she had to do was to think about how to spend her money.
"Mom, my sister-in-law and I are both human. What's the difference? She's a good person. You only feel that way because you don't interact with her much."
"Look, you've only known her for a few days, but you're already on her side. That woman must be a succubus who can cast spells on others. That's how she made you and your eldest brother fall head over heels for her. I think I should hire an exorcist to come and deal with her."
Alice laughed. "Mom, if you really looked for an exorcist, you'll be the one who will look bad."
