Chapter 1409 Preliminary Sess
After the man''s departure, Darcy turned her gaze towards Kendrick, her eyes filled with anticipation as
if awaiting the unfolding of events. However, Kendrick appeared reluctant to divulge more, his attention
seemingly absorbed by the documents in his hand, his lips sealed.
Unable to bear the suspense any longer, Darcy quickly reminded, "Mr. Hofstead, you didn''t finish what
you were saying just now."
Kendrick had just confessed his feelings for her, and she was not about to let this moment slip through
her fingers.
She had suspected it for a while now, given that they had been through thick and thin together over the
years. She wasn''t unattractive either, so it was entirely usible for Kendrick to have feelings for her.

Upon hearing her words, Kendrick seemingly snapped back to reality, recalling the recent events, and
said, "Is something wrong at home? If you have time, I can apany you. After all, I am your boss."
"What?"
This time, it was Darcy''s turn to be taken aback, as Kendrick had never made such a proposition
before.
"What''s wrong? Is it inconvenient?" He sounded somewhat hurt, his tone unusually gentle.
She quickly shook her head. "No, it''s not inconvenient at all. Whenever you have time, Mr. Hofstead."
Kendrick nodded and smiled gently in response. "You carry on with your work then. There''s a lot to be
done recently, so don''t overwork yourself."
Darcy, unsure of how to react, simplyplied with Kendrick''s instructions. She nodded and exited
Kendrick''s office.
She felt that many eyes were on her as soon as she left the office, and she suspected that the words
Kendrick had uttered in his office had already spread among the employees.
A hint of satisfaction crept onto Darcy''s face. That person could continue to rise through the ranks; he
had handled this situation quite adeptly.
"Darcy, congrattions!"
As expected, that person stepped forward to congratte Darcy, and once he did, many others
followed suit, showering Darcy with praise.
Darcy was suddenly on cloud nine. She hadn''t anticipated such a turn of events. She no longer had to
live in fear of the past, and her marital future seemed secure.
Kendrick sat in his office, monitoring the outside through surveince. Theputer screen disyed
the current scenario outside, and he observed it with a grave expression.
His objective had been aplished, and he could now proceed ording to his n. Since this
person was no longer under his control, merely a pawn, it was time to discard her and make way for
other pawns.
He slowly picked up the phone and dialed a rtively unfamiliar number. "Report to thepany next
week. Submit your application first, thenmence work."
Kendrick''s voice was even colder than before, as if the warmth and smile from earlier were nothing but
a facade.
Indeed, all he had done was lull Darcy into a false sense of security and fully exploit her. Ultimately, she
would plummet into a bottomless abyss, and no matter what she imed, no one would believe her.
"Yes," the man on the other end of the phone responded mechanically, akin to a robot.
Kendrick hung up the phone and positioned himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Thepany
was situated in the city''s prime location, offering a panoramic view of the entire city.
When he was slightly agitated, he enjoyed standing here, observing the world below.
Darcy excitedly shared the news with her closest friends. All her friends had managed to snag wealthy
men, while she had never had a rtionship worth mentioning.
Her friends all advised her to move on from Kendrick. Although Kendrick was the most influential and
affluent man in their circle, if she couldn''t secure him, it would be wise to let go.
However, she was resolute and persisted, and this day, she could finally proudly tell her friends that her
perseverance had paid off.
"Ladies, I''ve snagged Kendrick." She gleefully sent a voice message in the group chat. Soon, she
could return home like her friends and relish the life of a wealthy wife in their circle.
