Chapter 141


    Ring. Ring. Ring.


    Kendall answered the ringing phone for her father.


    "Sir, President Mendelson is here." As soon as she heard that, she quickly handed over the phone to


    Adam, who then asked her to excuse herself. "Kendall, you may leave first."


    "Got it." She turned around and left instantly as she had no intention of meeting the iing visitor at


    all.


    Now that Adam was alone in the office, he asked Jessie, "Where is he right now?"


    "He''s already in the elevator."


    He acknowledged with a grunt and responded, "Got it."


    Meanwhile, Kendall went to the elevator instead of Jessie''s office as she wanted to see Kelly. No


    matter how deep her resentment was, she still had to admit that she was a mere neer who had


    much more to learn from Kelly, the superior.


    Despite her desire for revenge, Kendall had epted the reality that being reborn alone was not


    enough to achieve her goals. Getting stronger was her utmost priority right now if she wanted to stomp


    over her adversaries one by one. She could also have resorted to homicide by putting an end to


    Jackson and Kelly''s lives, but her future would then be jeopardized as that would be equivalent to


    flushing her rebirth down the drain.


    Unlike her, the female leads in novels could always easily get back at their enemies after rebirth. She


    was jealous of that ability, but she could only bide her time. She had a lifetime to wait for the day she


    could trample both of them beneath her feet and deprive them of everything. By then, all they had


    would be nothing but themselves; they would be the rats which everyone despised in the sewer.


    Just as Kendall was about to step into the elevator as the door opened, Frank came out with a group of


    bodyguards behind him. To her dismay, they met again. Instinctively, she took a few steps back before


    smiling politely. "Greetings, President Mendelson."


    While she was ncing at his foot, the sight of the bodyguard pushing out a wheelchair caused her lips


    to twitch.


    "Master." The bodyguard assisted Frank into the wheelchair from behind. Next, Frank lifted his injured


    leg to remove the leather shoe. Though he was still wearing a sock, one could easily see the swollen


    part of his foot.


    "Is your foot still swollen?"


    He hummed that he was fine in response. He could walk into Adam''s office on his own if Kendall was


    not here.


    Finally, his actions sessfully pricked her guilty conscience. "Did you apply some medicine?"


    "I don''t like the smell." In other words, he did not apply the medication, which resulted in the continuous


    swelling.


    Looking into his deep eyes, she realized that they were simr to Dn''s cold and aloof gaze. Both


    men could easily conjure the fear in one, so it was unbearable to lock eyes with them for a long time.


    "If you don''t tend to it, it won''t recover anytime soon, President Mendelson."


    However, Frank did not utter a word as his eyes were focused upon her, as if it read, I''m the victim


    here. You should tend to my injury as the assant.


    After taking a deep breath, Kendall decided to gloss it over by saying, "You must be here to see


    President Parker. He is waiting for you in his office. I shall take my leave first so as to not waste your


    precious time."


    Then, she strode past Frank, who remained indifferent on the wheelchair. Still, he could not help the


    urge to look at her entering the elevator until she disappeared behind the closed door. His fingers


    tapped on the armrest for a while before he broke the silence. "Bring me to the office."


    His ''mission'' today was to listen to the excuse that Adam, the mercenary man, would give to decline


    the proffered partnership.


    On the other hand, Toddy entered the president''s office in the Coleman Empire Holdings before Dn


    inquired, "How did it go?"


    "Everyone''s springing on their feet, as expected. As long as they have circuit boards that we need,


    they''re attempting to take the contract down by all means." Toddy poured himself a cup of warm water


    to quench his thirst. After polishing it off, he filled the cup again, causing his superior to nce at him.


    "Why? Can''t I drink more?"


    Dn replied in aid-back manner, "I''m fine even if you''re going to finish everything. Just don''t


    jeopardize your work efficiency with a few extra trips to the washroom."


    Toddy chuckled. "I thought you wouldn''t like me drinking your water. My breakfast was kinda salty


    today, that''s why."


    "You should pay attention to what you eat and work out even more. Don''t be surprised if you stay a


    single man forever with that physique of yours."


    When Toddy heard that, he lowered his gaze to his stomach and pinched his bulging stomach. Feeling


    helpless, he sighed. "Why did it grow back when I''ve only cked off for a few days? President


    Coleman, your appetite is bigger than mine and you eat more than I do, but you don''t exercise as much


    as I do either! Yet, why do you still look the same? You look as fit as always."


    In addition to Dn''s surreal visual, Toddy assumed that God had only bestowed the best upon Dn.


    "I''ve been going to rehab recently." Dn added, "The strenuous exercise is no joke."


    Though he had good food to fill hisrge appetite, he was mindful of what he ate, which exined why


    he was fit, not too wide yet not too slim. Kendall had once praised him for being able to pull off any


    clothes thanks to his model-like physique. At the thought of the clothes and necktie worn given by her,


    he brusquely loosened his tie a little.


    Toddy smiled as the tie attracted his attention. "Did you buy a new necktie again? This suit seems to be


    worth twenty thousand at most. I bet you pay much more for your custom-made suits."


    With an indecipherable expression, Dn recounted nonchntly, "It''s a present from my wife. The


    necktie too."


    Almost instantly, Toddy whistled. "No wonder you''re in a good mood today. It''s because you''re wearing


    the suit and necktie your wife had gifted to you."

    So, loosening the necktie was to catch his attention and prod him into asking the question, leaving an


    opening for Dn to brag about his wife''s presents.


    In the meantime, Dn took out the handmade Gemini toy and ced it next to its family member,


    Taurus. As of today, Kendall had made him three signs of the horoscope. He would keep them at a safe


    ce like a treasure afterpleting the collection. Although it meant nothing much, they were


    pleasing to the eyes, especially his.


    She was exceptionally skillful with her hands as she could single-handedly make the toys. The


    handmade decorations meant nothing to her, but it was definitely a prized gift for him.


    "These are so pretty. Could you ask her whether she has extras? I wanna buy some since they''re really


    well-made."


    Dn stared at the three horoscope toys as he rejected downright. "She has enough on her te right


    now. The extras are all for me."
