Chapter 1388 The Secretary''s Intentions


    "Mr. Hofstead, there are three meetings scheduled for today, and you have to go to the research center


    to check on their progress before the meeting in the afternoon."


    The female secretary reported the day''s schedule as she stood in front of the office desk. When she


    mentioned the research center, her expression shifted a little, but it quickly turned back to normal.


    Kendrick didn''t have to check on the progress at the research center often, but for some reason, he


    insisted on adding this item to the agenda.


    Nicole was no longer at the research site, so what was Kendrick thinking?


    He couldn''t just ignore other matters in thepany for the sake of a research center.


    Kendrick had his head lowered as he dealt with some matters. He waspletely clueless to the


    changes in the female secretary''s expression as he responded in a low voice, "Got it."


    "Okay, Mr. Hofstead. I''ll be leaving now."


    The female secretary nodded, then turned around and left. She and Kendrick were the only people in


    thepany who weren''t from Florend. Hence, they understood each other better. That was why


    Kendrick preferred to let her handle most things.


    At that thought, the female secretary returned proudly to the office reserved for secretaries. Save for


    her, everyone else in the office was male. She returned to her seat under the others'' gazes.


    Kendrick waited until he was the only person in the office. Then, he slowly raised his head, looking at


    the two documents the female secretary had ced in front of him. He fell into deep thought.


    He couldn''t let her stay any longer. Back then, he hired her because she was loyal, and he needed all


    the personnel he could get.


    However, her motives were no longer as pure as they used to be. Hence, he had to think of a way to


    get rid of her.


    Kendrick got up and walked out of the office. He wanted to head to the research center right away and


    have a talk with Chloe.


    "Where are you going, Mr. Hofstead?"


    The female secretary hadn''t even sat for long when she spotted Kendricking out of his office.


    Hence, she hastily went forward and asked.


    Kendrick didn''t even spare her a nce as he said, "To the research center. You don''t have toe


    with me. Stay here and prepare the documents needed for the meetingter. I''ll be back before the


    meeting starts."


    The female secretary was slightly stunned. When she returned to her senses, Kendrick had already


    walked away. She frowned as she gazed at his figure.


    This was Kendrick''s first time leaving her here. In the past, she would always follow him and provide


    support no matter where he went.


    The female secretary gritted her teeth in secret, but what else could she do? If Kendrick didn''t want her


    tagging along, she couldn''t do otherwise.


    She felt that even if she insisted oning along, Kendrick wouldn''tin much about it. However,


    she had to be mindful of how Kendrick thought of her.

    From the corner of his eye, Kendrick kept ncing at the dark window next to him. He could see who


    was following him through the reflection on the window.


    When he realized that the female secretary wasn''ting along, he instantly hastened his steps. He


    looked like he couldn''t wait to see the person at the research center.


    Meanwhile, Chloe was guiding some employees on their research. Many things couldn''t be done alone,


    andmunication was necessary.


    "For this part, I think—"


    "Chloe."


    The voice sounded a little familiar.


    When Chloe heard that, she frowned. She thought about the man fromst night.


    Guessing it might be him, she hastily turned around to look at the person. Just as expected, it was the


    man fromst night.


    "Why are you here?"


    Chloe pushed Beryl outside without another word. She carefully closed the door, making sure that no


    one could see them from outside. Then, she finally asked.


    When Beryl saw how wary Chloe was, he smiled instead of getting angry.


    "I''m here on ount of the same thing I told you yesterday. I hope you can give me another chance,


    and we can have a proper conversation about it."


    "Mr. Helm, correct me if I''m wrong, but this ce doesn''t belong to either Helm Group or Gardner


    Corporation, right?"


    Just when Chloe was about to decline, a voice cut her offpletely.


    The person''s tone was calm, and his words were uttered slowly.
