It was already noon when it was time for Kendall to get off work. So, she packed up, grabbed her bag, and left.
"Young Mistress Coleman."
She did not expect to be stopped by Benjamin at the elevator's entrance, who had just come out of the president's office.
She turned her head to look at him, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an unnamed emotion as she smiled and politely greeted him.
He walked over and asked gently, "Are you getting off work?"
It was a redundant question.
Although Kendall sneered at his blatant attempt to start a conversation with her, she still maintained an innocent look on her face and answered with a smile, "Yes, I'm just getting off."
Then, Benjamin held the elevator door open and entered the elevator alongside her.
The four bodyguards wanted to follow, but he shot them a glare. The bodyguards immediately understood just a look from him, and they took a few steps back and did not follow suit.
Then, the elevator door closed.
There were only Benjamin and Kendall in the elevator.
She turned to look at him. The younger generation of the Orapolis business industry was competent. People like Dylan, Frank, and Benjamin were giants among men. They were equal in all aspects.
"Is there something President Benjamin wants to talk about?"
Kendall's voice was calm; being alone with him did not make her panic.
Benjamin took a deep, searching look at the woman whom he wouldn't even bat an eyelid before this.
Although she still looked the same, she radiated a different aura.
"Love can really change a person," he said out of the blue.
He figured that the reason she could be confident enough to remain calm even when there were just the two of them was all because of Dylan.
However, Kendall did not respond to that statement.
"Would Young Mistress Coleman give me the honor of having lunch together?"
She smiled and answered, "I'm sorry, I usually eat dinner with Dylan every night."
This made Benjamin laugh. "How rude of me."
"It's fine. For President Benjamin to invite me to dinner, it's my honor."
"Don't say that, Young Mistress Coleman. In Orapolis, who would dare to look down on you now?"
She smiled again but did not speak this time.
She was like a fox assuming the majesty of the tiger, exploiting Dylan's power.
"Young Mistress Coleman, Yasmin is actually a good person. Although she can be a bit arrogant and capricious, she is not a bad person."
Kendall recalled how Yasmin was in her previous life. Then, Yasmin would constantly target Kendall just to help Kelly get ahead in line.
However, Yasmin had never done anything that threatened Kendall's life. Hence, she wasn't as ruthless of a person.
In comparison to Kelly, Yasmin wasn't that bad after all.
"Is President Benjamin trying to ease the tension between my sister and me? You shouldn't try and coax me; you should talk to your sister instead. In fact, it's your sister that kept trying to provoke me from the very beginning. She clearly was the one to let Master Dylan go first, yet, now, she made me her enemy just because I married him. Could it be that although she doesn't want him, she will not let anyone have him either? Besides, Master Dylan was never hers in the first place."
When Benjamin heard all this, he blinked as an embarrassed smile crept up on his face. "Young Mistress Coleman is right. The fault lies with Yasmin. I will make sure to give her a good talk. Still, the conflict between you women shouldn't be magnified to the point that outsiders get involved."
"I've never told Master Dylan that I was seeking revenge on Zorn Holdings. Yet, President Benjamin actually went to cut off several of the Parker Corporation's projects just to avenge his sister. This caused Parker Corporation to suffer some heavy losses," Kendall said.
He was immediately rendered speechless by her sharp retort.
The elevator took the two to the first floor.
Just as the elevator door opened, Kendall turned to speak to Benjamin again, "President Benjamin, I, Kendall Parker, will never make the first move to cause trouble. But I'm not afraid of throwing a punch. If someone shows me an ounce of respect, I will give them ten folds of it. Nonetheless, if someone bullies me, I will definitely see through that they suffer till the end."
As soon as those words left her lips, she didn't hesitate for a second as she left the elevator.
With a slightly awkward smile on his lips, he calmly walked out of the elevator behind her.
He watched her walk away at the elevator entrance for a long while before murmuring, "Kelly will lose."
As soon as Kendall left the office building, her attention was captured by the small plane at the door of the company.
Whose plane is parked in front of the company?
It couldn't be Benjamin's, could it?
No matter how flashy Benjamin was, there was no way he could come over on a plane when they were in the same city.
A cute little baby on the plane seemed to have a keen eye as he pointed at Kendall and spoke to the man who was holding him, "Daddy, there's Lady Parker. I see Lady Parker!"
"I see her. Let's get off the plane now," Eric said gently.
"Okay."
Scott happily slipped out of Eric's arms and took his hand, anxious to get off the plane.
"Daddy, hurry up! Lady Parker is leaving. Lady Parker, it's me! It's Scott! Lady Parker!"
The little guy was waving his hand wildly around as he shouted.
Unfortunately, they were so far away that Kendall couldn't hear him at all. She didn't even know that he was sitting on the plane.
She continued walking toward the parking lot.
Henry had been waiting for her in the parking lot.
When he saw her coming, he hurriedly got out of the car and greeted respectfully, "Young Mistress Coleman."
She nodded in acknowledgment of him and said, "Henry, let's go pick Dylan up from work."
Henry opened the car door. Once Kendall was in, he closed the door, returned to the driver's seat, and spoke with a smile, "Young Master Dylan would be delighted to see you."
Amos mentioned that Kendall was the apple of Dylan's eyes. He told everyone to serve her well and show her as much respect as they had shown Dylan.
Now, they might still have a chance to live after offending Dylan.
But who knew how they would be killed if they were to offend Kendall?
"The plane outside seemed to be someone's private jet. Do you know who it belongs to? Why is it outside our company?" Kendall asked curiously as the car started.
"The plane landed at the entrance of the company ten minutes ago. I have no idea who it belongs to. The security guard that was on duty walked over to ask. I have no idea what the people on board said, but the security didn't continue to pester them," Henry replied.
When she heard this, she did not inquire about the matter further.
When the car reached the company entrance, she finally knew who the plane belonged to.
As soon as the cute little baby got off the plane, he trotted over to the car, causing Henry to floor the brakes.
The tall, dignified man walking behind the child had a resigned yet doting look on his face.
"Henry, I'm getting out of the car. The plane belongs to the Fords."
Henry immediately unlocked the car at her words.
Kendall pushed the door open and got out. When she had just walked two steps in their direction, Scott had already rushed toward her like a cheetah and hugged her calf before trying to climb up like a monkey.
"Scott!"
She smiled and hugged the little guy.
"What are you doing here?"
After Scott was in her embrace, his two little hands immediately hugged her neck and rested his head on her shoulders. "Lady Parker, I've missed you so, so much. Hug me again, so I feel safe. You smell like mom!"
Kendall smiled as she rubbed his back lightly. When Eric approached, he began to explain the situation before she could even ask.
"Scott had a fever today and didn't go to school. He's very vulnerable when he's sick. He cried about wanting to come to see you. So, I had no choice but to bring him over to see you."
