Adam was taken aback. Somehow, he had a feeling that Frank didn't come for such a simple reason today. The Parker Corporation had nothing worth a personal visit from Frank, after all. Maybe he knows that Kendall is Dylan's wife, and this is the reason why he is here?
The Mendelson Group did have a few electronics factories, but any collaborations should be discussed with the factory manager or, at the very least, someone from the headquarters. It was unnecessary for Frank, the president, to come personally.
"President Mendelson, thank you for your regard toward the Parker Corporation. However, we have too many orders pending and I am hesitant to accept yours at this time." Adam didn't say anything else, as he was expecting Frank to be tactful enough to understand his rejection.
"That doesn't matter. Our orders are not urgent as well. Our ready stocks in our stores are sufficient for a short period of time, and you do not need to halt all other orders just for us."
"If that's the case..." Adam commented with a smile, "We may discuss this further. Perhaps a visit to our manufacturing factory will be good, President Mendelson?"
Frank did not turn down the offer.
After a few minutes, Adam and Jessie led Frank and his men down the elevator to the Parker Corporation's manufacturing factory.
Kendall wanted to tag along, but she did not want to get near Frank and her father did not invite her along either. Hence, she stayed obediently in her office to examine the circuit board sketches.
However, the longer she looked at the sketches, the more dazzled she became because all the sketches looked similar to her.
She remembered that Jessie's office had some physical samples of the circuit boards, so Kendall took some for her own reference. Despite having them, she couldn't tell the difference between the different types and electronic circuits were really not her forte.
Then, she placed the circuit boards down and texted Dylan. 'I know nothing about electric circuits, Dylan, but this is unfortunately Parker Corporation's main business.'
She wanted to take over the Parker Corporation and to manage it well. How could she do that if she didn't understand the field?
After the message was sent, she waited for Dylan's reply, but nothing came.
She knew he was busy. Hence, she didn't expect to hear back from him right away and dropped another message.
'I understand you're busy and you can ignore me for the time being. I'm just nervous about things and can't seem to calm down enough to learn. Simply respond when you have time to read my messages.'
'Oh and by the way, your arch-enemy came! According to my father, Frank intends to work with the Parker Corporation. Do you think he has discovered our relationship? Since he can't do anything to you, is he now laying hands on my family?'
'And just what did you do to the Whittles? Jackson approached me today and asked for my assistance.
Until today, he thought I was just throwing tantrums and wanted to kiss me, thinking that by doing so, my heart would soften and I would be loyal to him again!'
Her rants were all sent to Dylan's phone, one after the other.
Meanwhile, Dylan was in the conference room, having an important meeting with all of his company's executives. He had requested that everyone's phone be turned silent during the meeting, except for himself.
As a result, the notification of a new message kept ringing.
He finally took his phone to check the messages after receiving yet another new message.
Though his expression remained unchanged, all of the executives who knew him could sense a coldness emanating from him after he read all of Kendall's messages with his fingers knocking on the table.
His knocks came in quick succession and none of the executives dared to breathe loudly.
After a moment, Dylan finally replied to Kendall's messages. 'How could you think of losing when you've only just begun? You don't have to fight Kelly if that's the case. Come home and be my wife only. I can guarantee that the Parker Family will not fall into Kelly's hands as long as I am here.'
If Kendall lacked the ability to manage the Parker Corporation but Kelly was not allowed to take over the company, they could only hire professional managers to do the job.
'Frank was there because of you, not because of our relationship. What have you done for him to act
exceptionally this time? Give me a satisfactory explanation when you get home, and submit a self- reflection essay of 10,000 words with no repeated content.'
'Yes, I did deal with the Whittles. Can't I do that? Since you hate Jackson, why do you still see him then? And you even give him a chance to do that to you? Kendall, just be honest with me if you can't let him go. I am not someone who will tie you to me."
Dylan responded to Kendall's messages one by one.
When Kendall received his replies, she fell into silence for a long while. She read his messages several times. Like the man himself, his messages were impolite, slapping her across the face.
Didn't she rebirth with absolute confidence to change the tragedy of her previous lifetime?
Didn't she want to destroy Kelly and Jackson's reputations, leaving them with nothing and dying pathetically?
Things had only just begun, but Kendall couldn't hang on any longer. Where had her confidence gone? Where was the vengeance she desired?
But it was the truth that Kelly was now much stronger than Kendall.
Well, Kendall wasn't reborn with great abilities either…
Hence, she could only take it one step at a time. There was no shortcut for her to get to the top in a hurry.
Suddenly, her phone rang. The screen displayed Dylan's name and Kendall answered it right away.
"I am sorry to disappoint you, Dylan."
"That is none of my concern. The Parker Corporation isn't mine in the first place. I don't care if you're not strong enough to stand up to them."
His words left her speechless. They were as cruel as they had always been.
"What time are you having a break for lunch?"
"11.30AM."
"Let's have lunch together. I'll send Blake to pick you up."
However, Kendall was a little hesitant on this. "Dylan, what if the others saw us? It will be—"
"You said I look handsome."
That almost choked her as she replied with a smile, "That's the truth. You are really good looking. My love for you is endless, like the flow of water in a stream—"
"Shut up!" he coldly warned her.
And Kendall stuck out her tongue to that.
Even though they were on the phone and couldn't see each other, Dylan could tell she was sticking out
her tongue. "Since you said I'm handsome, why can't you show me to the public?" he continued.
"You were the one who asked me not to refer to you as my husband! In that case, who would be aware of our relationship?" Kendall expressed her dissatisfaction.
After a brief pause, he responded, "Since when are you so obedient to me?"
Hearing that, Kendall was stumped for words.
Was he reminding her that she could now make public their relationship?
He was the one who told her not to refer to him as her husband but now, he was blaming her for not disclosing his identity. He did not make her public as well, did he?
Such a pretentious guy!
"We'll have lunch at the Dynasty Hotel."
"Sure! I'll come, Dylan!"
"Foodie!" This time, Dylan managed to say this word out.
"Well, we are born with our mouths to eat," she replied with laughter.
Kendall was a true foodie. Even if he didn't like it, she wasn't going to change for him!
Dylan, on the other hand, cracked a smile since he was well aware that she adored delectable food.
When they finished talking, he had already moved from the conference room to the president's office and was smiling happily at Toddy, who stood opposite him.
