Chapter 1481 The Arrival of a New Character

"Rest assured. You will hear from me soon." The man smirked, pivoted on his heel, and exited Kendrick's office with an air of confidence.

Once the man had left, Kendrick's facade crumbled. His face darkened, and his icy gaze followed the man's retreating figure.

This was beyond the pale!

Had it not been for his superior abilities and his reputation in the industry far surpassing Darcy's, Kendrick wouldn't have had to shell out such a hefty sum to employ him.

The pent-up frustration in Kendrick's chest left him feeling stifled. However, he had no other option but to swallow his anger.

"Mr. Hofstead, Miss Darcy is here to see you."

As a man entered, he felt a pang of fear upon noticing Kendrick's grim expression. However, remembering that the woman waiting outside was Kendrick's beloved, he gathered his courage to speak.

Upon hearing Darcy's name, Kendrick only felt even grumpier. What was she doing here now?

The man grew uneasy as he watched Kendrick's worsening expression. Wasn't Darcy Kendrick's beloved? Why did he get in a worse mood when he heard her name?

Then, there was the newly appointed man, Hugo Walker, who always seemed to have a sour expression. Yet, Kendrick seemed to favor him, and he even put Hugo in Darcy's previous position. That had stirred up quite a bit of resentment toward Hugo within the company.

This man who came into Kendrick's office was one of those resentful employees.

He had initially thought that by currying favor with Darcy, Kendrick might promote him to her former position. Little did he expect that his efforts would end up benefiting someone else.

"Mr. Hofstead?"

Despite his fear, he had to continue his duties. He called out to Kendrick tentatively.

"Alright, let her in." Kendrick finally responded, his face devoid of emotion.

What else could he do now that she was here? It wasn't like he could turn her away in front of everyone. He had no choice but to let her in.

Kendrick's irritation intensified at the thought of this. He pinched the bridge of his nose, realizing he needed to expedite his dealings with Colton.

"What's wrong, Kendrick? Are you feeling alright?"
