Chapter 158 Don't Come On To Her
Kendrick never wore his heart on his sleeve. But now, all over his handsome face, from his eyebrows to
his eyes, showed that he was in an extremely bad mood!
Wasn't it outrageous to paw her like that in broad daylight?
Even though he really wanted Natalie to get in the car immediately, he still suppressed his temper.
With so many people around, he had to save her face.
Therefore, he raised his hand to the car window and lowered his eyes, showing an air of stern
superiority. He glanced at the face of the boy in front of him straightly and opened his thin lips to call
the boy's name accurately, "Saul!"
As Saul's name was called out, he nodded and lowered his eyes, not daring to speak loudly.
"Has the first draft of the design been completed?" Kendrick raised his eyebrows and said in a bad
tone, "It's the deadline to hand in today!"
As the structural adjustments had been made in Ramsey Group recently, the artificial intelligence new
energy vehicles and semiconductor chips were all integrated and planned by Kendrick.
Now he was the highest and the only director of the group.
He also got Saul's internship certificate.
"Not yet." Saul replied honestly, "Some details still need revising in the final draft."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Saul was stunned by Kendrick's stern and cold tone.
He was arranged by the Williamson family to be an intern in Ramsey Group and also participated in
staff meetings because of his status. At that time, Kendrick spoke at the meeting with a calm tone
throughout. Although he said harshly, he didn't have much mood swing.
As a boy who had just left school, Saul could only bite the bullet and answer when he was questioned
like this, "My colleague just bought me a cup of coffee and I wanted to help her carry the coffee back to
the workplace." He pointed to Natalie's handbag and said, "That is quite heavy!"
Colleagues needed to be friendly and care about each other, which was something written in the
employee code of conduct.
Saul didn't think that there was something wrong with his answer.
He felt that Kendrick couldn't find fault with it even though he really wanted to.
But he was young after all. To his surprise, Kendrick smiled lightly as he heard that. And then he turned
to look at Natalie and asked her calmly, "Do you need his help?"
His tone changed again, becoming gentle and kind.
However, Natalie heard what he had said and got another meaning, which was something like, "Don't
you dare say that you need Saul's help?"
She could have just slipped away and left Saul facing the storm alone. But she was afraid of being
misunderstood and thus stayed.
Sure enough, she just couldn't run away.
"Oh, that won't be necessary!" Natalie reacted quickly, "It's not that heavy. Well, I can carry it by
myself." She glanced at the time and said, "I have to go to the morning meeting."
And then she turned around and left without looking back.
Kendrick's gaze fell on Saul's face again. His look was full of sarcasm and disdain, and he said harshly,
"Did you hear that? She doesn't need it!"
"Don't come on to her! Why don't you spend that time and energy on your work so that the design draft
will not be sent back for repeated revisions!" These were the last words he told Saul. And then he
closed the car window and directly asked the driver to drive away.
Saul was stunned. He pinched the strap of his backpack with both hands and was at a loss a bit.
Before he worked in the group, he had heard some judgements of Kendrick.
Kendrick was gentle, but rather strict and serious about his work.
Now that was correct indeed!
But he was not gentle at all!
...
There were a few boys and girls from political families having internships in Ramsey Group.
It was their way to enrich their lifes.
They could just develop some contacts.
And the group could also expand its influence and voice.
Despite the ups and downs in politics, the Ramsey Group had always stood firm and gradually grasped
the economic lifeline of Hamgrad.
Even though Ryland deliberately suppressed the power of the group, the Williamson family still sent
Saul in for an internship.
Compared to other lame ducks, Saul was rather awesome, especially in his own professional field.
His design draft was revised and then sent to Kendrick for final review.
As Kendrick was clear that business was business, he didn't make things difficult for Saul after revising
some details and let him carry it out immediately.
Nigel printed out Saul's resume and handed it to Kendrick, saying, "His internship will end in January
next year and he needs your personal recommendation letter as an application material for studying
abroad."
Kendrick thumbed through the resume and found that Saul was the alumni of Natalie but they had
different majors.
The Quinn family handled the withdrawal procedures for Natalie on the grounds that she was unwell.
"Mr. Frank Williamson himself just found the chairman and arranged for his grandson to work here as
an intern." Nigel reported, "Ms. Williamson will come back from studying abroad next year and might
also work here!"
Two old men from two families must have agreed secretly.
"Is he the grandson?" asked Kendrick.
"He follows his mother's surname!" Nigel explained, "He is the president's nephew!"
Kendrick pushed the resume away.
He didn't find the arrangement of nepotism distasteful unless they kept their noses clean, which was
the premise.
...
Natalie held a meeting all morning.
She was called to Kendrick 's office for lunch at noon.
As she thought of what had happened in the morning, she felt that Kendrick would get even with her. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
But he wouldn't go so far, would he!
She just refused Saul so clearly. She always kept a distance from the male colleagues in the company
and didn't have any personal relationships with them except for work. She had also mentioned that she
was in love and got married, although it seemed that nobody believed it.
But Saul just helped her take coffee.
And he hadn't picked up the coffee yet!
If Kendrick became angry about it, she would also get cross!
After brainstorming the small drama all the way, Natalie walked into the CEO's office with a poker face.
As Nigel saw her halfway, he thought that his boss might make some big mistake and upset her, and
that she thus came to find fault now.
He took the lead and bravely rushed up, "Here you are, Mrs. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey is waiting for you to
have lunch in the office. Well, he can't keep a thing down without you!"
Natalie stopped and glanced at Nigel with repulsion.
She just hadn't seen him in the past few days.
How could he be so cheesy?
She restrained her look and said, "I'll ask him if he is like this!"
Nigel responded cleverly, "Definitely he won't admit it. But he is according to my observation."
She looked at him with repulsion again.
Finally, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Kendrick was sitting on the sofa unpacking the delivery.
There was Kettledolish ribeye steak, seaweed wrap and creamy mushroom soup for lunch.
He just ordered the food based on her taste.
A thin layer of beef was piled up in a high-end food bowl, steaming with the sweet aroma of onions.
Around it was a hot spring egg. Its soft yolk was poked by him with a spoon and was spreading out.
He mixed the beef rice and handed it to her, "It's not hot now. Go ahead then."
Immediately, she forgot everything and started eating happily.
Just as she was about to eat it all, he gave her a spoon of soup and asked coldly, "You have gotten
paid recently, haven't you?"
His circuitous routine always left Qu Xi unprepared.
"I have!" She nodded with her eyes beaming with joy. She whispered, "Quite a lot!"
As she dealt with the crisis in a timely manner last month especially, her performance bonus only had
just reached 10 thousand yuan.
But she quickly became alert.
He wouldn't ask her to pay the money, would he!
She just wanted to save the money and have her own small vault!
"No wonder!" He tutted, "So you have the money to buy someone coffee?"
