Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409 Preliminary Success

After the man's departure, Darcy turned her gaze towards Kendrick, her eyes filled with anticipation as if awaiting

the unfolding of events. However, Kendrick appeared reluctant to divulge more, his attention seemingly absorbed

by the documents in his hand, his lips sealed.

Unable to bear the suspense any longer, Darcy quickly reminded, "Mr. Hofstead, you didn't finish what you were

saying just now."

Kendrick had just confessed his feelings for her, and she was not about to let this moment slip through her fingers.

She had suspected it for a while now, given that they had been through thick and thin together over the years. She

wasn't unattractive either, so it was entirely plausible for Kendrick to have feelings for her.

Upon hearing her words, Kendrick seemingly snapped back to reality, recalling the recent events, and said, "Is

something wrong at home? If you have time, I can accompany you. After all, I am your boss."

"What?"

This time, it was Darcy's turn to be taken aback, as Kendrick had never made such a proposition before.

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" He sounded somewhat hurt, his tone unusually gentle.

She quickly shook her head. "No, it's not inconvenient at all. Whenever you have time, Mr. Hofstead."

Kendrick nodded and smiled gently in response. "You carry on with your work then. There's a lot to be done

recently, so don't overwork yourself."

Darcy, unsure of how to react, simply complied with Kendrick's instructions. She nodded and exited Kendrick's

office.

She felt that many eyes were on her as soon as she left the office, and she suspected that the words Kendrick had

uttered in his office had already spread among the employees.

A hint of satisfaction crept onto Darcy's face. That person could continue to rise through the ranks; he had handled

this situation quite adeptly.

"Darcy, congratulations!"

As expected, that person stepped forward to congratulate Darcy, and once he did, many others followed suit,

showering Darcy with praise.

Darcy was suddenly on cloud nine. She hadn't anticipated such a turn of events. She no longer had to live in fear of

the past, and her marital future seemed secure.

Kendrick sat in his office, monitoring the outside through surveillance. The computer screen displayed the current

scenario outside, and he observed it with a grave expression.



His objective had been accomplished, and he could now proceed according to his plan. Since this person was no

longer under his control, merely a pawn, it was time to discard her and make way for other pawns.

He slowly picked up the phone and dialed a relatively unfamiliar number. "Report to the company next week.

Submit your application first, then commence work."

Kendrick's voice was even colder than before, as if the warmth and smile from earlier were nothing but a facade.

Indeed, all he had done was lull Darcy into a false sense of security and fully exploit her. Ultimately, she would

plummet into a bottomless abyss, and no matter what she claimed, no one would believe her.

"Yes," the man on the other end of the phone responded mechanically, akin to a robot.

Kendrick hung up the phone and positioned himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The company was

situated in the city's prime location, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.

When he was slightly agitated, he enjoyed standing here, observing the world below.

Darcy excitedly shared the news with her closest friends. All her friends had managed to snag wealthy men, while

she had never had a relationship worth mentioning.

Her friends all advised her to move on from Kendrick. Although Kendrick was the most influential and affluent man

in their circle, if she couldn't secure him, it would be wise to let go.

However, she was resolute and persisted, and this day, she could finally proudly tell her friends that her

perseverance had paid off.

"Ladies, I've snagged Kendrick." She gleefully sent a voice message in the group chat. Soon, she could return home

like her friends and relish the life of a wealthy wife in their circle.
