After Chloe left, Kendrick's expression grew increasingly dark. He stared coldly at his female secretary, who stood by his side, head bowed, afraid to meet his gaze.
The secretary trembled slightly; it was the first time she had defied him. She had witnessed the consequences of others defying him before—immediate dismissal.
At that moment, she was in their shoes. She didn't know what he had in store for her, but she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope for what might follow.
"I won't hold today's incident against you, but I hope you won't make such a low-level mistake again in the future." Kendrick eventually compromised, signing the document in his hand and handing it to the secretary beside him.
"Yes, Mr. Hofstead," the female secretary replied. Relief washed over her upon hearing this result, even though she maintained a calm facade while accepting the document.
Once the secretary left, Kendrick slowly lifted his head, his gaze following her departure. His eyes were intense, as if he could devour someone with his stare.
The secretary had been by his side for many years, present since the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey. She knew many things about him. If he suddenly fired her, it would lead to significant consequences.
During this critical period, if he were to terminate her employment and provoke a sense of retaliation from her, all his years of preparation would be in vain.
As the secretary left the office, she felt a surge of happiness. Mr. Hofstead indeed gives me preferential treatment. I knew it! Nicole and Chloe are merely tools for him to achieve his ultimate goals.
After Chloe left Hofstead Corporation, she happily sent a message to Nicole before hailing a taxi and heading toward the research center.
When Nicole received the message, her face lit up with a relieved smile. With that matter resolved, she put her phone down and sighed softly as she looked at the pile of reports before her. It seemed like her workload had increased a bit. "Oh well."
'Nicole, are you free for dinner today? Let's go out and eat together!' A message suddenly appeared on her phone.
As Wendy felt the tense atmosphere beside her ease, she let out a sigh of relief, glad that she was finally released from all this.
"So, Colton, why do you want to have dinner with Nicole? Didn't you forbid me from getting close to her?"
When her words came out, Colton turned to her with a dark expression, causing her to quickly close her mouth. She decided not to ask any further, fearing another reprimand.
As Wendy was about to leave the room, he suddenly stood up and left without a word, leaving her baffled by this sudden sequence of events.
Well, she didn't care what her brother wanted to do. She hoped this matter would be resolved soon. That way, the misunderstandings between Nicole and Colton could be cleared up.
