"I'm seeing Kendall later," said Amelia honestly.
Frank said nothing. Every time Kendall was mentioned, he would have a brooding look on his face. Even though she knew Kendall didn't like Frank at all, Amelia still felt hurt. He can't let her go. Kendall's right. Falling for him will only bring me agony.
Once Frank was done with lunch, he stood up and did the dishes. Amelia wanted to help, but he wasn't saying anything at all, so she sat back down.
A moment later, he came back out and put the cleaned lunch boxes into the bag before handing them to Amelia. "Go. Lunch break is almost over. If you're quick, you might be able to have a little chat with Kendall."
So, he's telling me not to disturb Kendall during working hours? Amelia was jealous, but she stayed calm and took the bag. Then, she stood up. "I'm going, then. Are you coming back tonight? Or is there another appointment?"
"Another appointment after dinner. You're coming with me. I need a partner."
Amelia declined, "I'm just a cook. This is beyond my job scope. Moreover, you've never brought any partners with you to any event before. Everyone knows you're single. Who'd be stupid enough to make you bring a partner along?"
Frank gazed at her. Calmly, he said, "You're part of my household now, so you're following my orders. I'll be going back at five and setting off for the appointment at seven. Get ready before then."
"Wait. What do you mean I'm part of your household?"
"You're my cook. That makes you part of my household. Everyone working in my place is part of my household, and I'm the master. So, you listen to me."
Amelia wanted to argue, but Frank had a point. She glared at him for one whole minute before she finally left for Kendall's company in a huff. The driver took her to Parker Corporation. Once there, she saw a car parked in front of them. "I'll get off here." She picked her phone up and got out of the car. "You wait for me here," she said.
The driver answered, "Take your time, Ms. Taylor. I'll wait for you."
Desmond told him to take Amelia anywhere she wanted and that he must wait for her no matter how long it took. He also told him to treat her with respect like how he would Frank. Even though Frank told everyone he liked Kendall, his servants felt like he was nice to Amelia. Kendall was everything to Dylan, and Frank could never win a fight against Dylan. He would have to give up on Kendall sooner or later. Amelia would be the only one left for him.
Amelia was about to say something, but then she saw the driver of the car in front of them going around to open the door of the passenger seat. A woman got out of the car, and even though Amelia only saw her back, Amelia recognized her.
Kendall? And who's the guy? He's so gentlemanly. When Kendall got out of the car, he was staring while smiling at her. The closer Amelia got, the clearer she could see the man. Gosh, he's handsome. Just like a god. I've never seen him before. Who is he? And why is Kendall with him?
She would've taken a photo of this guy if it were the old her, but now she only wanted to know why her friend was with the guy. If the Coleman elders find out about this, they're going to kick up a fuss again. Amelia didn't go forward. Instead, she stayed where she was and watched as the man walked Kendall all the way to the building. He then saw her off before turning around to return to his car.
Only then did Amelia approach the building. The guards knew her. She was Kendall's friend, so they let her in.
A moment later, she ran into that man. Even though she was a hot guy connoisseur and saw the handsome Frank every day, she still couldn't help but gawk at the man.
John gave her a glance before walking past her. He was born handsome. When he was a child, everyone loved him. When he grew older, men envied him, while women went crazy for him.
