Chapter 1340 Different Intentions

The quiet dinner table was disrupted by a single sentence from Kendrick.

Nicole looked up with a hint of surprise in her eyes as she glanced at him. "Is that really possible?"

If what he said was true, it would mean that her base could start operating sooner, and they wouldn't have to worry

about construction delays.

"Since we're in a partnership, and for both sides to progress smoothly, I believe this arrangement is the right

choice." Kendrick earnestly nodded and looked at Nicole with affirmation.

Chloe was also surprised by his proposal. She had initially thought that he had invited them to dinner to show off.

She hadn't expected him to genuinely discuss work-related matters. Indeed, the previous location wasn't suitable

for such discussions.

It seemed that they were assuming the worst intentions based on their mindset.

Nicole exchanged a glance with Chloe and then looked back at Kendrick along with Chloe.

"Mr. Hofstead, since you've said so, it might seem overly particular if we continue to decline. We'll accept the offer,"

Nicole agreed. After all, this arrangement was beneficial for both parties, and there was no need to make things

awkward.

"However, there's one thing I hope you can agree to."

Nicole suddenly realized an issue and paused for a moment before speaking up.

Kendrick, intrigued by Nicole's tone, looked at her with interest. "Please, Miss Anderson. Go ahead."

This was the first time he saw Nicole speaking with such an attitude ever since they got to know each other, and it

was rather amusing.

"Although this arrangement benefits both parties, I still intend to pay the rent," Nicole proposed. This was no small

matter, and she wanted to clarify it before using the factory.

Kendrick raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded silently. "Sure. Let's do it that way. As for the amount, you can

decide on it."

Nicole nodded in agreement. It seemed they had discussed the matter sufficiently.

Afterward, he escorted Nicole and Chloe back to their residence. They exchanged only a few words before he left.

Chloe sighed in relief when he departed. Finally, she could have a heart-to-heart talk with Nicole.

Kendrick had been around them the whole time and was practically shadowing them. He was nearly as

omnipresent as a security guard, making it difficult for her and Nicole to have private conversations.

"Nicole, did you feel that something was off about Mr. Hofstead today?" Chloe glanced at the documents on the

table and began organizing them, but she couldn't help asking Nicole.

"Yeah. I noticed that too. It feels like he has some ulterior motive."

Nicole had thought that Kendrick was looking down on them. However, it was now more likely that he had other

intentions.

Leaving aside the invitation to dinner, even his offer to use his factory as their base was unusual.

Normally, the client would only provide a deadline, and the rest would be up to the other party. Unless the

contractor asked for it, the client wouldn't arrange everything. Yet, Kendrick was different. It was as if he had paved

the way for them and was simply waiting for them to walk along it.

"I was thinking the same thing. Tomorrow is the day we're supposed to sign the contract. We can still back out now."

Chloe's expression grew heavy. If both of them felt that something was off with Kendrick, perhaps it was time to

reconsider the collaboration.

"No. Let's take a look at the contract first. If there are no issues, we can proceed with the collaboration. After all,

he's the most suitable person for us to partner with." Nicole shook her head and rejected Chloe's suggestion.

Despite Kendrick's peculiar approach, Nicole was certain that his intentions weren't related to the medical base.

They must have something that intrigued him and prompted him to get closer to them.

As for the specifics, she would wait and see how he behaved. Until that became clear, she couldn't let it interfere

with the medical base's progress.
