Chapter 140


    "Who''s managing the Prestige Electronics?" If Kelly was able to stand out amongst thepetitors by


    securing this contract, not only would she secure her ce in thepany, she would also be able to


    put herself on the map in the whole industry.


    "It''s Mr. Dawson."


    "He''s not one of the Colemans?"


    "No. He''s just a professional manager."


    The manager''s name rang a bell as it reminded Kelly of someone. "Is he in his early forties and kinda


    plump? And he always looks at others with lecherous eyes?"


    Cameron exined, "Vice President Parker, the one you''re asking doesn''t work for the Coleman


    Family. The one I was referring to is also about the same age, but he''s mature and definitely a man of


    gantry."


    "I see. I should meet him up, then." Kelly was nning to suggest a proposal to Adam in order to form


    a partnership with the Prestige Electronics. "Miss Sanders, please get me all details about Mr. Dawson


    as soon as possible, especially his likes and sorts."


    Apart from theirpany''s quality goods, she should also be well-acquainted with the man by whetting


    his pte so as to give rise to the probability of her sess.


    "Will do," replied Cameron.


    There was a meeting held amongst the top management in Parker Corporation every Monday morning.


    Right then, Adam brought up the news of the big request from the Prestige Electronics. It was an


    assertive act of theirs to engender a fiercepetition amongst thepetitors.


    "Compared to ourpetitors, we''ve been the top candidate for circuit boards production. And since it


    is arge demand, it will bring us more benefits—other than profit alone—if we''re able to get our hands


    on the contract. "


    Being able to be partners with the Colemans would undeniably alleviate one''s status in the city,


    for it was the greatest attest to one''spetence.


    "I need two people to take on this project."


    "President Parker, I would like to volunteer for this." All eyes turned to Kelly as she volunteered.


    As the vice president and the default sessor in line, her position in thepany would be solidified


    once she managed to sign the contract with the Prestige Electronics. At the same time, it wouldnd


    Kendall, the true daughter of the family, at a disadvantage. Sharing the same thought, everyone


    nced at the demure Kendall seated next to Adam. In fact, she had no right to attend the meeting as


    the secretary, ording to thepany''s policies.


    However, none of them dared to voice out their disapproval as she was Adam''s biological daughter and


    he was the one who personally brought her to the meeting. They should not humiliate him at the very


    least.


    "Good. With your kind of capability, I believe that the contract will be ours for sure. Everyone, let''s give


    her a round of apuse." He then apuded to show how much he supported Kelly decision to take it


    upon herself.


    Inparison to otherpanies which had their sales managers in charge, Parker Corporation would


    stand out under the lead of their vice president, which would be an indicator of their sincerity for the


    partnership. In fact, Adam was sure that they would win because he was Dn''s father-inw after all.


    "Miss Parker," he suddenly called Kendall.


    "Yes, President Parker." She followed how others addressed her father as she looked at him.


    "You''re new to thepany and there''s much more for you to learn. So, you should take this chance to


    learn more from Vice President Parker."


    Kelly''s expression changed when she heard that, but soon regained herposure. Meanwhile, the


    other employees present were not surprised at Adam''s decision as her father. Of course, he would like


    to have his daughter to improve and adapt herself faster to thepany affairs. However, it was all


    down to Kelly, who had already long secured a ce for herself in thepany. Will she be able to


    willingly offer her position as the sessor?


    At the same time, Kendall was taken aback by the sudden arrangement. As a neer, she had yet


    to adapt to the management, let alone understand all of their circuit board products. Therefore, to follow


    Kelly this time was a golden opportunity to broaden her insight.


    "Understood. Thank you for the opportunity, President Parker."


    Adam replied gently, "Should there be any problem, you can seek help from Vice President Parker."


    "I will." Afterplying to his advice, Kendall faced Kelly. "I will be in your care, Vice President Parker."


    "My pleasure." Kelly presented magnanimity, but her true self beneath that mask said otherwise. She


    was not a least bit afraid, for it was the chance for her to put Kendall down. If it bore a favorable


    oue, the sess would be credited to her, but if they failed to clinch the contract, she had a


    scapegoat at her disposal to take the heat.


    After the meeting, Kendall was called to Adam''s office.


    "Kendall," he gently said, "Kelly has worked for thepany for a very long time under my guidance.


    She is a remarkable person with outstanding skills. So, no matter what you think of her, you should


    watch and learn from her to gain some experience. It is a fiercepetition to gain the opportunity to


    work with the Prestige Electronics, so we might not be able to win this time. But you don''t have to worry


    about the oue since it''s just an arrangement for you to learn."


    "I understand, Dad. I will do my best."


    "You must always keep your guard up, though. Everyone is a snake in the business world. You won''t


    know what they have under their sleeves; even the people you trust the most might stab you in the


    back." Kendall knew that Adam was implying to Kelly.


    "Though you''re Mrs. Coleman, Dn always puts his personal matters aside from work. The Prestige


    Electronics is under Mr. Dawson''s management. He''s a capable man who likes to fish, but there''s a


    failing in his character—he likes young women. In other words, he''s driven by lust."


    Kendall paused momentarily in silence before piping up, "Dad, will he actually cross the line?"


    "Nope, he won''t. He will give some hints at most and he won''t let you go once you''ve given the green


    light; it''s all consensual. Besides, he''s known for his alcohol tolerance, so no one will ever mess with


    him if they''re light drinkers. I know you have a decent tolerance for alcohol, but do control yourself. I''ll


    have someone who can drink well to go with you guys."

    "Dad, do you think Dn will be involved in this project?"


    Adamughed upon hearing her question. "Why would he interfere in such a trivial matter?"


    The Coleman Empire Holdings had branched out numerous subsidiaries; therefore, it would be


    impossible for Dn to supervise every single one of them. Adding on, the young masters in the


    Coleman Family were responsible for the divisions that reigned of utmost importance, whereas a trivial


    position like the supervisor could be simply filled with an outsider.


    Kendall muttered, "No wonder a person like Mr. Dawson can be the supervisor and Dn didn''t seem


    to mind at all."


    "Kendall, you''re still too innocent. This cruel society is full of unspoken rules and there always have


    been. They know it''s a trap, but they''re willing to take the bait."


    She held her tongue as she thought, That''s why I was tortured miserably in my previous life. It''s all


    thanks to my foolishness!
