Chapter 525
Kendall and John ate lunch together, sharing a pleasant conversation during their meal. However, he
would change the subject whenever the topic of their cooperation was brought up.
In that way, she learned that this man was arduous to deal with even though he seemed rather
easygoing.
It just so happened that she did not have a deep understanding of Good-Trust Electronics. Hence, she
felt that it would not be toote to discuss the cooperation once they had gotten to know each other
better.
After the meal, Kendall walked John out of the hotel.
"Have a safe trip, Mr. Read."
John turned around and gave her a deep look before he broke out into a smile. "If we get the chance,
let''s…"
"Sure."
"Bye."
He got into his car and quickly drove away.
When Kendall could no longer see John''s car, she finally called Henry and asked him toe and pick
her up.
Henry happened to be nearby, so it only took him a few minutes to arrive by car.
"Young Mistress Kendall." He held the car door open for her.
After she entered the car, she quickly instructed, "No need to go back to thepany. Please head
straight to the Coleman Empire Holdings."
It was almost time to get off work, and she was toozy to return to thepany. Therefore, she
decided to head over and pick her husband up from work instead.
The only catch was that she had already eaten. At this rate, she would no longer be able to eat dinner
with her husbandter.
"Alright," he answered respectfully.
Kendall soon arrived at Coleman Empire Holdings. When the car approached thepany entrance,
she immediately noticed a familiar figure. It was her brother, Roger Woods.
Roger was holding arge bouquet of flowers and standing there peering inside.
She quickly asked Henry to stop the car.
Roger turned around to look at the car driving toward him upon hearing the sound of a car engine
behind him. When he saw that it was his younger sister, he smiled in embarrassment and greeted her.
"Hey, Kendall."
"Roger." Kendall nced at the bouquet of flowers in his arms and grinned from ear to ear. "Not bad.
Looks like you''re a man of action."
He blushed furiously and dered wholeheartedly, "Since I already have a goal in mind, it''s only right
that I take the first step in the right direction. I wonder what time Miss Finley gets off work."
"How long have you been waiting, Roger?"
"Not that long. I arrived at 10:30AM."
She looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then nced at her sweat-drenched brother and
criticized him. "Why didn''t you bring an umbre? It''s too hot out here. Emma usually leaves the office
at noon. Sometimes, she might even be out on a business errand. She''s not always at thepany.
Didn''t you give her a call before you came?"
He shook his head. "I didn''t want to disturb her at work, so I didn''t call her. However, I did check with
the security guard. She is currently working inside thepany and did not go out."
ncing at the time, he continued, "There are only ten minutes left before she gets off work. I''ll wait a
little longer. Kendall, are you here to wait for Master Dn so that you can go home together?"
"Yeah. I just finished meeting with a client. Seeing as it''s almost time to clock out, I decided against
going back to thepany and came straight here to pick Dn up from work. Roger, it''s so hot and
sunny outside. Why don''t you wait inside with me?"
He refused her offer. "I don''t want to disturb Miss Finley while she''s at work. Kendall, I''m not scared of
the sun and the heat. You should hurry up and go inside. There''s no need to worry about me."
Though she couldn''t possibly leave her brother outside and go inside alone.
"You don''t need to follow me upstairs, Roger. You can wait for Emma in the VIP room on the first floor. I
will let Emma know."
He knew that his sister would stubbornly insist on waiting with him if he continued to stand here.
Although he was not afraid of the heat, he couldn''t bear to let his younger sister stand under the
zing sun. He hesitated for a moment before he asked, "Is it okay for me to go inside?"
"It''s fine. Visitors generally wait on the first floor after they register themselves at the reception desk."
Only then did he feel a little more relieved.
He was here to court his love interest. Hence, he did not want to disrupt the operations of Coleman
Empire Holdings by his identity as Dn''s brother-inw.
With the wife of the president leading him, he easily walked into Coleman Empire Holdings.
Nevertheless, he couldn''t help feeling rather nervous. It was his first time walking into such arge
company in his life.
Considering that Emma was not only working at such argepany but also serving as the
secretary of the president, he suddenly felt proud about his eye for people. The woman he loved was
such an outstanding person.
"Roger, are you sure you won''t go upstairs with me?" Kendall asked while walking.
Roger chuckled in amusement. "Kendall, I have no interest in being the third wheel."
Feeling a little speechless, she made a snippy retort. "You''ve gotten better at jokes, Roger."
"Master Dn has a strong desire to monopolize you. Even if we''re your brothers, he doesn''t like us
hanging around you all the time. What''s more, we''re siblings who are not rted by blood. That''s why
he''s so guarded against Nell and me."
Roger was an honest and sincere man, but he was not a fool. The truth was that he simply kept quiet
despite what he knew.
She could not refute his words.
Her husband was indeed a jealous man.
He honestly wished that he could be the only man in her eyes. In fact, he would be
extremely unhappy if any other men, including her father, even talked to her or looked her way.
"Kendall, please don''t tell the others that I am your brother."
"Why?"
"I don''t want to ce pressure on Miss Finley just because I am the brother-inw of Master Dn."
She considered her brother''s request for a moment and agreed easily.
"Mrs. Coleman." When the two receptionists saw Kendalling through the doors, they hurriedly
stood up and greeted her respectfully.
Kendall smiled in return, then she spoke to the two receptionists. "This man is here to visit Miss Finley.
Please let him rest in the VIP room and inform Miss Finley of his presence when shees down."
Roger was not willing to reveal the fact that they were siblings, so she naturally did not expose this fact
to the others.
When the receptionists took in the flower bouquet in his hands and heard he was here to meet Emma,
they immediately realized the purpose of his visit—to court Emma.
There was a time when Emma kept receiving flowers delivered to her by the florist. However, they had
never seen the person courting her before. It was not until today that they finally saw the actual person
in the flesh.
Although Roger was not as handsome as Toddy, he had decent looks and a bashful air around him. He
seemed to be an honest man.
No wonder the person who gifted flowers to Emma for so long did not dare to show himself until now. It
turned out that he was a shy man.
"Don''t worry, Mrs. Coleman. We will make sure to inform Miss Finley when shees down."
One of the receptionists politely invited Roger into the VIP room so that he could wait for Emma there.
Kendall finally went upstairs by herself once she saw that her brother was in good hands. It didn''t take
long for her to arrive at the top floor.
And it happened to be just after working hours.
"You''re here, Kendall."

As soon as Emma walked out from the president''s office with an armload of documents, she saw
Kendall and smiled in greeting. "No wonder President Coleman seemed so restless just now. It turns
out that you''re here."
"Stop teasing me. I came over without telling him, so he doesn''t know yet."
"You don''t need to tell him. You and President Coleman are spiritually connected." Emma teased
Kendall lightly. "You should go in. President Coleman is waiting for you."
"Let''s have a meal together someday."
"That''ll be during the weekend, I guess. I''m not free during the week," she replied. Mulling over
something for a moment, she called out to Kendall again and continued, "President Coleman asked me
something this morning."
"What is it?"
"He asked if I''m willing to go over and help you."
Kendall turned around and looked at Emma. She said, "Emma, I''m more than happy to have you if
you''re willing. But, if you''re not willing, then please turn him down. He won''t me you for your
decision."
