Chapter 1408 The Plot Begins

"I've had some recent family issues, and I've invested all my savings into them. Can I get an advance on my salary and bonuses?"

Darcy had already worked out the details. If she could get an advance for two months, she would have a hundred thousand dollars.

The salary system at Kendrick's company was highly competitive as it was designed to retain talent. Even her position as a personal secretary, privy to all sorts of company secrets, was well compensated.

Kendrick looked up at Darcy when she spoke, observing the tears in her eyes with a stern gaze. She was clearly acting, and he could see through it, but was it because someone was extorting her?

"Alright," he responded without much thought. He immediately called the finance department to arrange for Darcy to receive the money. If this was what she wanted, he would fulfill her requests.

Seeing Kendrick agree and transfer the money so swiftly, Darcy could hardly contain her joy. She quickly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Hofstead. I will continue to support you discreetly from the sidelines."

With that, Darcy turned and left. However, Kendrick, who had been looking down, slowly raised his head. The plot was now in motion, and Darcy's days were numbered.

Darcy transferred the money to the man and found out that someone had been inquiring about her lately. However, the man didn't reveal any details about the situation, claiming they were broke and unwilling to share a single cent.

Initially, Darcy had some doubts, but when she heard the second part of the man's statement, all her suspicions disappeared. It was clear that this man loved money, and if he wasn't paid, he wouldn't say a word. But among the two groups involved, who else could it be besides Kendrick?

Ring, ring, ring…

Darcy's phone rang just then.

She answered the call nonchalantly, her mood evidently good. She didn't even bother to check the caller ID.

"Come back now."

Mr. Hofstead?
