Chapter 521
Nevertheless, Alice didn't follow Tilly's entrustment to inquire about the reason behind the conflict between Dylan and Kendall. In her opinion, Kendall would take the initiative to confide in her if she was willing to tell her. Since Kendall didn't take the initiative to do so, this simply means that she doesn't feel like telling me. In that case, why should I bother asking her? Besides, everyone has their secrets. Every couple has issues that they don't wish to tell others.
For Alice, as long as Dylan reconciled with Kendall, she didn't want to care much about their affairs so as not to end up doing a thankless task.
"Okay. By the way, my pet cat is now being kept by Dylan at our place, not in Pet Palace."
Alice smiled and said, "That is one lucky cat." As expected, Kendall's pet indeed holds a different status in Dylan's heart, unlike mine. Although I'm his only younger sister, he always ended up killing my pets whenever they went to his place.
Even so, Alice wasn't jealous of Kendall at all. Instead, she thought it was a good thing that Dylan could do this for Kendall. The couple can keep their pets by their side and no longer have to travel so far to Pet Palace in the future once Dylan gets used to having furry animals at home.
"I like to look at them, but I dislike the idea of raising one."
In contrast to Kendall, Jane's character was a bit carefree. She didn't hate pets, but if asked to pet one, she figured she wouldn't have such patience either.
"Jane, you share the same temperament as Yoseph. He also likes to look at pets, but he never liked raising one," Alice said. She plastered a slightly teasing smile on her face as she looked at Jane.
Jane, who had already confessed to Yoseph, didn't mind Alice's teasing at all. In fact, she even replied with a hearty laugh, "It's precisely because we both share a similar personality that we fight a lot. Then again, that's also the reason why we're able to be together."
Her words amused both Alice and Kendall.
"Look at you, still being complacent even when getting teased."
Smiling, Kendall asked, "At which stage of the relationship are you and Yoseph now?"
Stretching out with her right arm, Jane spread out her palm and then closed it again before she answered, "With I, Jane Morris, personally confessing to him, it was certainly very easy for Yoseph to fall into my grasp. However, although we have confessed our feelings for each other, I feel like our past memories were full of quarrels and no happiness, so I asked Yoseph to court me enthusiastically. At the very least, he should let me experience what it feels like to be pursued."
"You are right, Jane! You must let Yoseph court you for another two or three years before you agree to marry him. Let him feel that it wasn't easy for him to let you be his. That way, he will cherish you more."
Since Jane was straightforward, she went ahead after hearing what Kendall said and commented, "But you were the one who took the initiative to flirt with Master Dylan, though. He has never courted you before, yet he cherishes you very much and even treats you like a precious gem. I'd say, even if a single strand of your hair fell from your scalp, he will probably hold it dearly in his hand and bellow his pain out."
Kendall went silent for a moment. Then, with a crimsoned face, she asked sheepishly, "Are you sure it's as exaggerated as you said?"
Jane and Alice nodded in unison upon hearing that.
Once again, Kendall spoke nothing. It seems that the usual public display of affection shown by Dylan and me have been entrenched in these people.
"By the way, my grandma and I will be going home in two days. I have stayed in your house for too long, so my grandpa is urging me to return home." Jane suddenly informed them about the news of her departure.
Feeling reluctant to let Jane leave, both Kendall and Alice persuaded, "Going back so soon? How about you let Mrs. Morris go back first, and you stay at our house for a while longer?"
"I'm afraid not. I accompanied my grandma not long after I came back from abroad. I have to head home and accompany my parents too."
After all, I am surely going to get married to Yoseph. In that case, the Coleman Family will be my family in the future. On the contrary, my days of spending time with my family are limited. Hence, I must especially cherish the freedom of being a single young lady and my days of being a precious princess who gets pampered by my parents. I know Grandma and Old Madam Coleman are old friends. I know Old Madam Coleman will treat me very well if I marry into the Coleman Family, but the freedom a married woman can have in her husband's family is incomparable to the freedom a young lady can have in their own home. As Yoseph's future wife, I still have to follow the rules set by the Coleman Family.
Jane even smiled and said, "After I return, Yoseph will get to taste the pain of lovesickness. And when he can't take it anymore, he will obediently take a flight and come to find me."
At that, Alice jokingly said, "If Yoseph knows that you're leaving, he will most likely pack his belongings and openly move into your house under the excuse of sending you and Mrs. Morris home."
Kendall nodded, agreeing with Alice's statement.
After all, separation was the most unbearable factor for a couple in love.
"If he ever follows me home, I will ask him to cook me something delicious," said Jane.
"Yeah, sure. Let him cook delicious food for you and make you grow sideways. When that happens, you probably won't even be able to fit into your wedding dress."
She became speechless for a moment before she continued, "I can do some exercises with him every day to burn calories and lose weight. Whatever it is, he can forget about losing weight if I do gain weight. He has to gain weight together with me."
With that, Kendall and Alice spoke nothing.
Regardless, it was a pleasant evening for the three of them.
Just like that, the weekend ended, and a new week began.
Kendall finally returned to work after she rested for more than ten days.
Kelly even purposely waited at the main entrance of the company. When she saw Kendall coming to work in Dylan's private car, the envy and jealousy in her eyes were fully exposed to the naked eyes by the dazzling sunlight.
Initially, Kendall wanted to get out of the car at the company's main entrance. However, when Dylan spotted Kelly, he ordered the driver to drive the vehicle directly into Parker Corporation. They only stopped until they arrived at the entrance of the office building.
The bodyguard came forth to help Kendall open the car door.
Kendall quickly gave Dylan a kiss when the bodyguards weren't paying attention. Then, in a soft voice, she said, "I'm off to work now, darling. I will miss you when I have the time."
After getting kissed by Kendall, Dylan felt incredibly satisfied and said, "Go now. I will always miss you anytime, anywhere."
"See you at noon." Kendall waved him goodbye.
After getting out of the car, Kendall stood still for a while before she finally turned around and walked into the office building under Dylan's gaze.
When the two receptionists saw Kendall, they wore their occupational smiles and greeted her in unison, "Miss Parker."
Kendall greeted them back with a smile.
"Vice President Parker."
Soon, Kendall heard the voice of someone greeting Kelly.
Unlike the politeness in everyone's demeanor when they greeted her, everyone was in awe when they saw Kelly. Their attitudes as well as their tone of voice were completely different.
This made Kendall understand why Adam still didn't drive Kelly away even if he was disappointed with her. That's because Kelly has gained a firm foothold in Parker Corporation. She has her group of supporters and has won the hearts of one part of the employees. It will be both a loss and a great impact on Parker Corporation if Kelly takes a group of the management team who supported her with her should we casually drive her away.
As she thought of that, Kendall reminded herself in her heart that she must hurry up in building up her reputation in the company and accumulate achievements before she could take Kelly's place.
Kendall then took the elevator to the top floor and returned to her office.
"I see you're back in the company, Kendall," Jessie said with a smile after she came back from the pantry with a glass of water and saw Kendall.
"Yes, Miss Holmes."
"I'm glad you're back."
After the two chatted for a while, Kendall began to contact several clients in Eastfort. She enthusiastically invited them to come and visit Parker Corporation first and assured them that collaborating with Parker Corporation would be a profitable deal.
Likewise, the contract needed to be signed in person.
In truth, these several clients already began to make changes to their schedules when Kendall left Eastfort. They were waiting for Kendall to return to Orapolis and get in touch with them.
After receiving Kendall's call, none of them declined her offer, and they set a date for a meetup.
If all went well, those few business deals were guaranteed in grasp.
