Chapter 1425 Truly Love Her

Darcy did not know why Kendrick was staring at her. She apprehensively wondered if he was upset that he had

entered without knocking.

If that was indeed the case, then she had committed a serious blunder.

If a seemingly trivial matter like failing to knock on the door would upset Kendrick, did it mean he did not like her?

Darcy was filled with distress and regret upon thinking that. She should not have acted so impulsively. If Kendrick

was upset because of that, she would regret this for the rest of her life.

"Please don't be upset, Mr. Hofstead. I apologize for not knocking before walking in. I was in too much of a hurry. I'll

be more mindful next time," Darcy said, hurriedly ducking her head down as she tightly gripped the documents in

her arms, with her anxiety clearly visible on her face.

"I've been neglecting you these past few days. Let's have dinner together tonight," Kendrick said calmly, as if

nothing had transpired.

He was merely making Darcy more reliant on him, which would be beneficial for his future plans.

Upon hearing this, Darcy looked up in surprise. Seeing his slightly indulgent gaze, she was at a loss for words.

"What? Are you surprised? Leave the documents on the table and go. I'll call you if I need anything. We'll leave

together after work."

After uttering these words, Kendrick looked away from her and resumed his work.

She quickly placed the documents on the desk and nodded in agreement before walking out with a bashful twirl.

She had not anticipated such a turn of events. It seemed that she did hold a special place in his heart.

Kendrick's gaze gradually intensified. First, he would make Darcy believe that he liked her. The next step was to

make her increasingly dependent on him.

The most effective way to make someone dependent on him was through money.

Fortunately, he was never short on cash. This was merely an investment.

Soon, it was time to leave work. Darcy touched up her makeup and warmly bade her colleagues farewell.

Everyone immediately understood what Darcy was implicitly saying and congratulated her, making her feel

ecstatic.

People like Darcy were too easy to please. She did not scheme if she was not schemed against, and being nice to

her meant they could reap many benefits. Who would not appreciate such a beneficial arrangement?

Darcy kept glancing at the office door, eagerly waiting for Kendrick's appearance.

Would he be as meticulously dressed as she was?

Finally, his office door swung open. Darcy sat up straight with her gaze fixed intently on the door.

Kendrick emerged and glanced in her direction as he said with a faint smile, "Let's go. Sorry to have kept you

waiting."

He had deliberately lingered inside for a while before coming out so that Darcy would become increasingly

dependent on him. It was all part of his strategy.

Seeing the smile on Kendrick's face, she was somewhat taken aback. Still, she composed herself like a lady and

took his arm, tenderly leaning against his shoulder.

"Mr. Hofstead, was there a lot of work today?"

"Are you still addressing me as Mr. Hofstead?"

The man's voice was exceptionally captivating today, making Darcy feel weak in the knees.

"Kendrick..." While Ann felt shy, she quickly adapted to the new form of address, causing the name to smoothly roll

off her tongue.

Kendrick nodded in approval before he answered her previous question.

"A bit, but the company's sales have increased by another five percent."

Upon hearing this, Darcy was even more thrilled. She naturally hoped that he would continue to prosper so that her

social status would rise as well.

"Kendrick, I will always be your right-hand woman," she sweetly said. She wanted to stay by his side so she could

lead a better life.

In the future, she would be able to hold her head high in front of her peers, and no one could ever belittle her.

She could have it all—wealth, status, and everything she desired. Darcy's eyes squinted as she flashed him a

radiant smile.
