Chapter 208


    Dn remained silent, but it seemed like he did not mind her answering the call judging from his


    expression. Thus, Kendall wiped off the tears with tissue papers before answering the phone.


    "Kendall, are you free in the afternoon? Let''s grab lunch together and discuss the cooperation."


    Is Mr. Dawson trying to take the lead first? She nced at Dn, who did not utter a word, and decided


    to ept the invitation.


    However, before she could even respond to it, Leonel smiled on the other side of the line. "You don''t


    have toe. I''m going to the headquarters for a meeting, so I''ll be having lunch in the city. If you have


    time, let''s meet up at Dynasty Hotel. It''ll be on me. Their standards, services and food are awesome."


    As one of the managers in Coleman Empire Holdings, it was natural for him to uplift the Dynasty Hotel.


    Nheless, everything he said was a true fact—Dynasty Hotel was the best hotel in Orapolis. Kendall


    had never gone there in her previous life either.


    "We''ll be having lunch together, right? I''m going on the condition that I''m the one paying for it." She


    smiled. "Otherwise, I won''t go."


    He guffawed. "You sneaky brat. Fine, fine. Have it your way. I''ll be looking forward to it. Oh, don''t forget


    to call Vice President Parker over."


    Kelly was a shrewd person; if she was there with them, she could help him hint at Kendall. To him, it


    was either because Kendall was a first jobber or too naive, so she was clueless about the unspoken


    rules in the industry.


    If he had note to the headquarters for a meeting where Toddy inquired about the cooperation with


    the Parker Corporation, he would have dyed a little longer.


    Toddy''s inquiry had emphasized how significant the cooperation was to the headquarters. Even if he


    had full authority over the project, it was a huge chunk of meat for them; thus, it was normal for the


    higher-ups to take note of the current progress.


    "Okay. I''ll bring her along too."


    "Then, I''ll be heading off for my meeting now." Having said that, Leonel ended the call.


    Kendall kept her phone in her bag before questioning the man next to her, "Dn, if you''re going to


    take my mother from the hospital, how are you going to attend the meeting?"


    The fact that managers of the subsidiaries like Leonel were attending the meeting indicated how


    important it was.


    Instead of answering her question, he phoned Matthew. "Matthew,e to thepany right now and


    attend a meeting in my stead. I will be away in the morning, so just give me a call when there''s


    something you can''t decide."


    Matthew took the task upon him without hesitation. "Sure. I''ll be on my way. Will Toddy be there?"


    Toddy was Dn''s general secretary as well as his right arm. In short, he was the general assistant.


    After years working for Dn, he was very well-informed of thepany affairs.


    "Yeah."


    "That''ll do." Matthew figured that Toddy would be of much help despite Dn''s absence, for Toddy had


    an outstanding performance in fulfilling the tasks delegated by Dn.


    The brothers'' conversation ended within three minutes, after which Dn gave a call to Toddy to ask


    him to assist Matthew as Matthew would rece Dn in the meeting.


    Akin to Matthew, Toddy took on the task without further questions even though his curiosity was


    intrigued. Why is he suddenly not attending the meeting?


    Putting down the phone, he dialed Emma''s number via the interphone. He cleared his throat and


    asked, "Miss Finley, Young Master Dn has informed me that he won''t be attending the meeting. Vice


    President Matthew will being in his stead."


    The young masters in the Coleman Family were handling different industries of thepany under


    Dn''s arrangement. However, they held the position of vice presidents in the headquarters. In order


    to differentiate them, they had to address them by their names.


    "Get ready and inform the others about it too."


    "Understood," said Emma professionally before terminating the call.


    Toddy was rendered speechless. "I''m not done yet, though."


    He had been wanting to call her through the interphone, but he could not since there was nothing to


    inform her. Even so, he felt weird about it. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    He was held with high regard in the Coleman Empire Holdings. It could be said that he was submitted


    to one while overtaking ten thousands of people; aside from Dn, the young masters of the Coleman


    Family treated him with courtesy and respect.


    Not only did he have the looks, he was single. The number of girls swooning over him was no lesser


    than Dn''s pursuers.


    Emma was the secretary trained by him single-handedly. Due to her outstanding skills, she was


    transferred to the top level of the building to be Dn''s main secretary. Her heart remained unwavered


    in the face of such a cool boss, yet she had lost her heart for Toddy, who was in charge of her training.


    In thepany, she maintained the superior-subordinate rtionship with Toddy where every


    interaction was strictly business and they did not bring up any personal matters; once office hours were


    over, she would make a move on him boldly to win his heart.


    Not only did Toddy turn her down, he kept avoiding her. Even when he saw her by chance, he would


    wheel around and make himself scarce.


    Even the indifferent Dn, who did not interfere with his subordinate''s personal affairs, thought that


    Toddy was being too harsh to Emma.


    Toddy stared at the fouryered insted lunch box on the table. It was left by her before work. She


    had personally prepared it for him early in the morning.


    She would send him breakfast every single day. It had first started back when he was still training her.


    At that time, he dly epted it after mistaking it as a token of her gratitude and reverence toward


    her superior. It was not until the confession that he knew the truth.


    Ever since then, he would never eat them. However, Emma still prepared breakfast for him every


    morning without repeating the same dishes. She had poured in a lot of effort for his health.


    Toddy rose to his feet and strode toward the couch to take a seat. He grabbed the lunch box and


    opened it. As he had expected, the dishes werepletely different from yesterday.


    Even though he would not take it, he would still take a look to make do with the tantalizing smell. He


    had grown pickier thanks to her; other than her cooking, Jake Lukeman, the chef in Dynasty Hotel, was


    the only one who could whet his appetite.


    Since it was a thermal lunch box and it was still the morning, there was steaming off the food


    prepared by Emma. As soon as the lid was opened, the pleasant smell wafted his nostrils as he


    gulped. Should I eat it?


    Knock. Knock.


    Suddenly, a knock resounded on the door.


    Toddy ced the lunch box to its original position before closing it up. "Come in."


    The door was pushed open to reveal Matthew, who entered the office with quick steps. Toddy looked at


    him in surprise. "Did you get here by ne? I''ve just finished talking to President Coleman over the


    phone and you''re already here."


    Matthew seated himself next to Toddy. Obviously, they were very close.


    "I just happened to be somewhere nearby thepany, so I rushed my way here after receiving his


    call. It smells tasty. What''s in it?"
