"I can't agree with her behavior."
As Emma was close friends with Kendall, she had heard a lot about Kelly. Still, she didn't have to look into it that much as everyone in Orapolis knew of the fight between the biological and adopted daughters of the Parker Family. Most people stood on Kendall's side as they thought it was a matter of fact that she would take over Parker Corporation as the biological daughter unless she was incapable of doing so.
However, some could understand Kelly's actions as well. After all, she had been trained to be the heir in the past two decades, but just as she was about to take over the company, she suddenly found out that she wasn't the Parker Family's biological daughter. Who wouldn't try to grasp at straws if they were her? Nobody liked to have their seat taken by someone else, after all.
"With you helping Kendall, I feel much more at ease. She used to hold her own training programs, and she'd make some small trinkets to sell on the internet for some pocket change, so she doesn't know the risks of doing business."
"Kendall is actually really smart and a fast learner. Besides, Mr. Coleman often gives her advice and guides her too."
As the two chatted while they ate, Emma's mood changed for the better, and her appetite improved as well. In the end, the two left the restaurant with full bellies.
"Why do I feel like we went to a buffet? Whenever someone goes to a buffet, they'd always eat more than usual to get their money's worth and end up eating more than they can handle."
"Do you like buffets? I'll take you to a hotel buffet tomorrow."
Emma easily agreed.
After getting in the car, Roger asked, "Shall we watch a movie?"
Upon seeing her hesitating, he added considerately, "If you don't feel like watching, I'll take you home."
"Thanks."
At that moment, Emma only wanted to return to her home and take a good rest as a working elite like her was normally swamped with work and barely had any time to rest. Now that she didn't have to work overtime for once, she wanted to sleep early or look at some videos and watch the news to relax.
Roger smiled without saying anything and started the car, sending her home.
Half an hour later, they arrived. Emma said, "Thanks for taking me home, Roger."
Roger replied with a smile, "You don't have to be so courteous with me. Even if we can't become husband and wife in the future, we're still friends. Besides, you're Kendall's friend, and I'm her brother, so you can drop the formalities around me."
