Chapter 542
s, Frank had to take a few things into ount. Firstly, he couldn''t defeat Dn anyway.
Furthermore, he was in Dn''s territory right now. If he started a fight here, he would be the one who
suffered.
Thus, Frank stopped himself from doing anything rash and left with a gloomy expression.
I did this to myself bying here and letting Dn make a mockery out of me.
Once Frank was gone, Dn threw himself back into his work.
Soon, it was time for his meeting.
He was hard at work the entire morning.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.
Kendall had just walked out of the elevator when she received John''s call.
"You''re waiting for me outside ourpany building, Mr. Read?"
Kendall was taken aback.
John chuckled and exined, "It''s only right for a gentleman to wait for thedy."
Kendallughed and said, "I just came down, so I''ll be right there."
"Alright. I''m at the entrance so your driver can take the day off. I''ll drive you backter."
Kendall acknowledged this before ending the call.
"Young Mistress Kendall."
Henry, who had been waiting outside, walked over and greeted her politely as soon as he saw her.
"Mr. Fisher, I have a meeting with Mr. Read and he''s waiting outside now. I won''t be needing the car for
at least the next two to three hours. You can have your meal and take a break after. Come back over in
the evening."
Henry thought that Kendall would be following her routine of driving over to pick up Dn before
heading out for lunch together. He didn''t expect her to have a meeting with a client.
Although he was surprised, he didn''t show it as he responded respectfully, "Just give me a call if you
need me, Young Mistress Kendall. I won''t be far off."
He was going to hang around nearby as he didn''t want to take too long toe over if she had a
sudden need for his services.
"Alright."
Henry stood in the lobby and watched as Kendall walked out.
He saw a ck sedan waiting outside thepany. A man in a suit was leaning against the car. That''s
probably Mr. Read, the one Young Mistress Kendall mentioned.
It was too far for Henry to take a good look at the man, but from the silhouette, he surmised that it was
a young man.
Young Mistress Kendall has to interact with all kinds of people during her meetings with her clients. Is
Young Master Dn alright with that?
However, as soon as that thought urred to Henry, he swiftly shook his head to stop himself from
going down that train of thought. Young Master Dn trusts Young Mistress Kendall! She probably
wouldn''t do anything to betray his trust.
That being said, the thought of Dn''s condition made Henry''s expression a little grim.
Kendall had no idea that Henry was preupied with these thoughts. Before she even walked out of
the building, John quickly took an umbre from the car and opened it before hurrying over to her.
"Ms. Parker."
John came over and held the umbre over Kendall, then he walked with her and said, "It''s too hot right
now. Why didn''t you bring an umbre, Ms. Parker? You could get a sunburn from the zing sun."
Kendall smiled. "I usually get in the car as soon as I step out of the office, so I rarely spend any time in
the sun. I never needed an umbre."

John was pretty thorough.
"Have you been waiting long, Mr. Read?"
"Not at all. I called you just as soon as I arrived."
They walked over to the car and John did the gentlemanly thing of opening the door for Kendall. Once
Kendall was in her seat, he walked over to the other side and got into the driver''s seat.
Then, he started driving.
"I heard about a new buffet restaurant, Ms. Parker. The food is supposed to be excellent. Why don''t we
give it a try?" John suggested while driving.
Kendall didn''t object. "I''d love to try it then."
She would bring Dn with her some other time if the food was good.
"Are you free this afternoon, Mr. Read?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Previously, you said you wanted to take a look at our production floor. If you''re free this afternoon, I''ll
give you a tour of the ce. Parker Corporation is one of the best in the industry when ites to
manufacturing circuit boards. We have a lot of employees so we can deliver the final product promptly.
We also have strict standards when ites to quality control. You won''t regret working with us."
John smiled and said, "We''re on our lunch break right now, Ms. Parker. Let''s eat first instead of
discussing work. I''m fully aware of Parker Corporation''s standing and performance in the industry. I
have an important meeting this afternoon so I''m afraid I can''t carve out the time to visit your production
floor. Let''s do it some other time."
Good-Trust Electronics produced all manner of electronics, which meant they had a never-ending need
for circuit boards. Thus, a deal with them was worth a significant amount of money.
This was Kendall''s cursory observation.
As for what things were truly like, Dn was already looking into this on her behalf, and she would
soon receive the results of the investigation.
"I like working with frank and easygoing people," John added.
Kendall chuckled. "When ites to business, who wouldn''t want to work with someone who''s frank
and easygoing? If it''s someone who''s fussy, overly critical, difficult, thinks that the client should be put
on a pedestal, and wants to be waited upon hand and food by the other party, then even if we do work
with them once, there certainly won''t be a second time."
John was dumbstruck.
It felt as if Kendall was saying this to him on purpose.
After a brief silence, John said, "Oh, by the way, there''s a box of pastries in the back. Someone gave it
to me, but I don''t quite like sweet things, so you can have it, Ms. Parker."
"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Read, but I don''t like sweet things either," Kendall declined.
She was willing to deal with John, but she wasn''t going to ept any gifts from him.
There could only be two reasons why Kelly gave such a handsome client to her. The first possibility
was that it was hard to close the deal with him, and the second was that Kelly wanted her to fall in love
with John and betray Dn.
Dn was perfectly capable of maintaining a healthy marriage. No one else knew about this and they
still assumed that the rumors of him being impotent were true. They thought that she would cheat on
him at some point because her needs weren''t being met.
Kendall knew that this could be a trap, but she had to walk into it anyway.
Thus, she had her guard up against John.
"But I heard you enjoy desserts a lot, Ms. Parker."
Kendall chuckled. "It''s just for show. In reality, I don''t like eating desserts."
"Oh. I see. What do you like eating then?" John asked.
"There are too many for me to list one by one."
John smiled and didn''t continue pressing the matter.
Kelly had told him about Kendall''s likes, but now that he was testing it out for himself, it had been
disproved.
Perhaps Kendall was lying to him.
On the other hand, it could be just as she said. She had merely been putting up a front in the past and
didn''t truly enjoy desserts.
When they arrived at the new buffet restaurant that John mentioned, they found that it was quite full.
"There are so many people here."
Ever since Kendall returned to the Parkers, whenever she ate out, it would be in a private room that
was reserved beforehand. It had been quite some time since she ate in the main dining area with
everyone else.
"Why don''t you take a seat first?" John suggested attentively. "I''ll help you get some food. I remember
what you liked eating when we ate together thest time."
