Chapter 122 The First Choice and Only One


    Chapter 122 The First Choice and Only One


    Natalie immediately cast a wary look at him.


    Her reaction made his dark eyes sh with smiles. When his fingers stopped at her ribs and made a


    circle, it felt so itchy that she almost failed to hold back her groans. When he pinched her waist, she


    instantly shrank, causing her forehead to identally hit his chin.


    They were both stunned. Kendrick soon came to his senses, stretched out to rub her forehead, and


    asked, "Does it hurt?"


    She nodded. Seeing his red chin, she also reached out to rub it. And the office suddenly fell silent.


    "My stomach grumbled. Did you hear it?" Natalie suddenly said, ruining the intimate atmosphere.


    Kendrick was speechless. He took out his mobile phone and asked, "What do you want to eat?"


    She fluently replied, "Crab Roe and Shrimp dumplings."


    It was only then that Kendrick remembered he hadn''t settled ounts with her yet. After ordering the


    food, he showed her their chat history and asked, "Why did it take so long for you to reply to my


    message?"


    He had waited thirty minutes, but she had simply replied she was not hungry. When he had wanted to


    ask about it just now, she had brought up another topic.


    Natalie leaned over to have a look and said, "Well, I was angry with Daisy at the time and wondering


    why thepany hired her. She is ignorant and domineering. And she often intentionally creates


    conflicts between colleagues and dys the progress of work. She has vited ourpany''s values.


    If things go on like this, she will cause great losses."


    She had forgotten toin just now. Remembering it now, she added, "And she pinched me."


    It was Daisy that had started the fight. But there seemed no trace on her waist now.


    Kendrick pursed his lips and said, "I will ask the HR department to start an internal investigation


    tomorrow. If what you said is true, I will fire and cklist her."


    Entering the cklist meant Daisy must not work in allpanies under the Ramsey Group. If the new


    be fired.


    Seeing him speaking so coldly and ruthlessly, Natalie hadplicated emotions. So, she leaned


    against his chest and said, "I did not reply in time because I was afraid you would scold me if I came."


    After all, she had made trouble twice as soon asing to work here.


    "Although I was a little uneasy then, I believed you could distinguish between right and wrong."


    She decided to tter him first.


    Kendrick interrupted, "Knock it off. It will not work on me."


    Hearing this, she punched him in the chest with her small fist.


    He held her hand, ced it on his heart, and said, "I''ve emphasized that you shouldmunicate with


    me when you have any problems."


    "It was not a big deal. Your time is precious. I did not want to trouble you."


    He suddenly said, "I would not think you were troubling me."


    She had said she was the first choice and the only one. Although he had not responded then, he had


    kept it in mind.


    Natalie almost covered her face and screamed because it was hard to hide her pride and joy.


    When their eyes met, he thought she would passionately kiss him after hearing his affectionate and


    touching words. But the beauty lightly bit her lower lip with her white teeth, shyly looked at him, and


    softly said, "If so, please let the Finance Department quickly review and approve my other budget

    request!"


    Daisy had rejected her request, so she had not submitted the other one yet.


    Kendrick was speechless, thinking she was insatiable. He looked at the file submitted by her on his


    mobile phone and suddenly asked, "Who is Royce?"


    "He is a makeup KOL. I n to sign a five-year contract with him. And all the brands under our group


    will cooperate with him."


    Natalie clicked on the shopping software and opened Royce''s live broadcast. He was handsome and


    eloquent. Although he did not have many followers, he sounded witty.


    Seeing Kendrick frown, Natalie knew things would not be easy.


    Sure enough, he habitually asked, "Why do we have to sign a five-year contract with him?"


    Kendrick opened the ranking list and found Royce''s name at the bottom. Then, he said, "His current


    poprity is moderate. The live broadcast industry has frequent iterations. Are you sure he will be


    more popr? Can he remain popr for five years?"


    Natalie wanted to p herself. She had chosen to go to the fashion marketing department because she


    did not want to directly report to Kendrick. Otherwise, she would have to spend a lot of energy dealing


    with him because of his usual critical work attitude.


    But now, she had shot herself in the foot.


    She took a deep breath and exined, "Although he is not the most popr one, the number of his


    followers has been increasing. And the unit sale of his customers is at the forefront. He has best sales


    performance in cosmetics for three years and has a strong ability to sell goods. We should cooperate


    with him in advance because of his great potential."


    This exnation could not convince Kendrick, so he remained silent, pondering and weighing the pros


    and cons.


    "Susan has read the n and thinks it is ok," Natalie added.


    Hearing this, he instantly turned to look at her, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a sullen face, "Do


    you think I shouldn''t have asked?"


    The Ramsey Group was internallyplicated. And the fight for equity and power had be


    increasingly fierce.


    Kendrick had a strong desire to control everything and did not allow others to interfere when making


    important decisions. Moreover, he had been secretly expanding the boundaries of his authority.


    Natalie realized that she had said the wrong words but felt wronged.


    She had taken the shares ande to work here because she wanted to increase their brand


    awareness, help the group make profits, and prove herself.


    She had made the ns after careful consideration, although she had used her knowledge of how the


    world would develop in the next two years.


    Seeing the fierce look in his eyes, she suddenly didn''t want him to hold her. When she tried to stand up


    from hisp, she failed to push away the arm around her waist because he was unwilling to let go. She


    wanted to pry open his fingers, but there was a great disparity between them in strength.


    While leisurely watching her making efforts in vain herk, Kendrick rhythmically tapped his fingers on her


    waist.


    When she looked up at him in anger, he reached out his left hand to pinch her chin. But she turned her


    face away to avoid him.


    He sped her chin with one hand, turned her face back, and said with amusement, "Are you angry?


    Can''t I ask you questions about your work?"


    "But your attitude is too bad!"


    He had always been stern at work and often scolded the executives. And his words were so harsh that


    they wanted to push open the window and jump off the building.


    But Natalie had never seen it. He had always been gentle and partial toward her.


    She was in her period today, so she was moody. Because he had always pampered her, so she feared


    nothing and angrily said, "You doubt my n. You don''t trust my ability! And you even red at me!"


    She thought of his evil deedsst night. He had pressed her against the table, fixed her hands behind


    her back, and prohibited her from moving. Once she had moved, he would bite her harder. She didn''t


    know how to describe that feeling. But something had turbulently flown out together with her menses.


    Kendrick pressed his index finger on her lips, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "I have never


    doubted your n."


    Soon, he felt a slight tingle from the fingertip because Natalie bit on it.
