Chapter 305
In no time, Avery brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to Kendrick. “Here''s the coffee you wanted, Mr.
Kendrick.”
Then, she returned to her seat and continued working in all seriousness.
Kendrick took a few sips of the coffee.
Hmm, it''s just rich enough, both smooth and fragrant! Sure enough, it tastes different from the coffee
others brew.
shing her a thumbs-up, he asked intriguingly, “You''re indeed good at brewing coffee, Ms. Rumpley.
Did you study it in the past?”
Right then, he sincerely felt that she was something else. Aside from being beautiful, she''s got a
decent personality. Even the coffee she brewed tastes better than those brewed by others.
Without taking her eyes off theputer, Avery answered casually while envisaging the design draft.
“A bit.”
At that time, I had just given birth to the two kids abroad. Not only was I depressed, but I also faced
financial constraints, so I had to work part-time at a coffee shop. Casting my mind back on it, a whole
five years had passed before I even realized it. Verily, time flies!
In response, Kendrick nodded thoughtfully. Subsequently, he rubbed his chin. “Can you cook, then?”
Well, it would be nice for me to help Cayden understand her better.
Busy with work, Avery lifted her eyes and swept her gaze over him. Is he all that free? Can''t he see that
everyone is swamped with work? Yet, he''s chatting with me here. He''s the vice president, so he can do
whatever he wants, but I''ve still got to get busy since I''m only small fry!
At the side, Yulissa couldn''t help interjecting, “Mr. Kendrick, girls nowadays are more pampered, so
there aren''t many who can cook. I''m sure she can''t cook. But my father is a chef. As long as I can
remember, I''ve been learning to cook from him. I...”
She bragged about her cooking skills to Kendrick, only to see that he wasn''t listening. Instead, he stood
behind Avery calmly, watching as thetter went about the design draft.
In that instant, such rage zed within her that her face contorted.
Some of the female colleagues around her noticed her buttering up to Kendrick and blowing her own
trumpet before him, only to be wholly ignored. They all stifled theirughter, making Yulissa feel all the
more mortified.
She shot a deathly re at those colleaguesughing at her before stalking back to her office in high
heels.
Meanwhile, Kendrick continued studying Avery as she worked diligently.
Despite her benign countenance, her expression was solemn. Her tight jawline added a hint of maturity
to her, rendering her enthralling beyond words. However, his brows imperceptibly furrowed when he
made out the contents of her work.
“Good morning, Mr. Moore!” Cecelia stood up and eximed all of a sudden, snagging the attention of
the employees of the design department.
At once, everyone swung their gazes over and saw Cayden walking in.
He wore a tailored ck suit that outlined his muscr physique perfectly, but his expression was
overly indifferent. His intense and domineering aura hit the employees right in the face, making them
shudder uncontrobly.
All of them greeted him, to which he inclined his head slightly in response.
“Brew me a cup of coffee, Avery.”
The instant he saw Kendrick standing behind Avery while bending down with little distance between
them, chagrin marred his face. Coldly giving that order, he instructed his brother to follow him before
spinning on his heel and leaving the design department. After entering the elevator, he headed back to
the CEO''s office on the top floor.
So... did Mr. Mooree here to order a coffee or to look for his brother?
No matter which it was, it was bizarre in everyone''s eyes.
“Wait for me, Cayden! Why are you wearing such a frosty expression? No wonder everyone dubs you
Lucifer.” Kendrick hurriedly chased after Cayden.

The employees around them gasped in shock. He''s the only person bold enough to call Mr. Moore
“Lucifer” to his face!
“Cayden, Avery is pretty decent. Not only is she beautiful, but she''s even skilled at brewing coffee. If
she weren''t your woman, I would be interested in pursuing her,” Kendrick remarked with a grin while
sitting on the couch in the CEO''s office.
Cayden''s expression turned icy. “It seems that you''re really too free these days that you still had the
time to go to the design department to shoot the breeze. It''s okay. We haven''t secured the contract
over at East Alendor, so you can go over and negotiate it the day after tomorrow.”
Immediately, Kendrick groaned, “Don''t be so cruel, Cayden. You know that my passion doesn''t lie in
business. That aside, you''re well aware of my love for the arts. Aren''t you afraid I''ll ruin things when
you send me to such an isted ce to negotiate a contract?”
“If you ruin things, you don''t need toe back. Just stay and gain some experience at the branch
office there,” Cayden threatened.
Kendrick choked, words eluding him.
He''s definitely not my biological brother. If he were, he wouldn''t be able to bring himself to force me into
going there!
While they were talking, Avery had already brewed a cup of coffee and delivered it to the CEO''s office.
To that end, she traveled far and wide.
Just as she stepped into the CEO''s office, she heard Kendrick dering, “Cayden, this coffee Avery
brewed is pretty good. Can I have her brew me a cup of coffee daily henceforth?”
“Brew it yourself if you want to have coffee. She only brews coffee for me.” Cayden didn''t want Avery to
brew coffee for other men, even if it was his own brother.
“Good Lord! Don''t you think you''re too possessive of her, Cayden?” A smirk yed on Kendrick''s
wlessly handsome and devilish face.
“Shut up!” Cayden cut him off coldly.
“Here''s the coffee you wanted, Mr. Moore.”
After cing the coffee on the desk, Avery instinctively wanted to leave, only to hear Cayden''s cold yet
concerned voice drifting into the air. “How do you find the work here?”
“Pretty manageable. I''ll try to catch up with my colleagues'' speed as soon as possible,” Avery replied
solemnly.
“Okay. You may go back to work.”
As Cayden watched her retreating back, his chilly gaze seemingly softened considerably. At that sight,
Kendrick''s jaw dropped.
It seems that this brother of mine, who''s just like a robot at work, has be more human-like since
making her acquaintance.
But recalling Avery''s work, he put away his sé attitude. “Cayden, Avery is still an assistant designer
right now, but I noticed that her department head has already assigned her important design projects.
Can she handle such a heavy workload when she''s a rookie who has just joined thepany a while
ago? I can tell that the department head is deliberately making things difficult for her.”
Although he was a yboy, he had a pair of sharp eyes that could see right through women.
Yulissa''s deliberate seduction in front of him earlier as she tried to attract his attention, in particr,
nauseated him.
If it were in the past, he might be interested in teasing a shallow woman like her, but he didn''t dare do
so when Jeffrey was keeping such a close eye on him presently.
“She has just joined thepany, so she has to show others her capabilities if she wants to gain a firm
foothold here. She''s a talented and hardworking employee, but she''s too sensitive and concerned
about other people''s opinions. Thus, she still needs some tempering. Moreover, if she can''t even
handle such a trivial issue, she wouldn''t be able to gain a firm foothold in the design department. Such
an employee is below par. Even if I were to help her in the future, she would have a difficult time in her
department,” Cayden exined mildly.
A contemtive light shed across his eyes. I want her to quickly learn to grow up in thepany.
At the same time, an article personally written and published by Robert, the CEO of JK Media, swiftly
circted in Ackleton that day, triggering a tidal wave out of the blue.
