Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1397 Almost Found Out

On the other hand, Kendrick was on guard ever since Beryl appeared before Chloe and Colton didn't take any action. This worried him.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in," Kendrick answered in a low voice, frowning slightly.

Darcy entered with a document that was sealed tightly in her hands. No one would be able to guess what was inside.

Only they both knew this was a document regarding a subsidiary company that no one knew about.

"This is from them," she announced with a quiver in her voice as she placed the tightly sealed document on the table. It felt like she was carrying a mountain on her shoulder when she had that document in her hands.

She wasn't entirely sure what this company was all about, but she knew it was capable of bankrupting a company and ruining families overnight.

It was safe to say that Kendrick had not used that company ever since Hofstead Corporation's stable performance.

"You may leave now." He nodded and glanced coldly at Darcy before looking down at his work.

She naturally caught his scary gaze and suppressed her shudders as she turned around to leave his office.

It had been a long time since she saw such a scary gaze from Kendrick. Did he perhaps find out what she was doing behind his back? She was terrified and scrambled to find a deserted place before calling a phone number she had been calling recently.

"Hello, please halt that project no matter what," Darcy said in Restradian. It was obvious the other party was also from Restrad.

"I charge extra for sudden stops like this. I've already started working on it." The man's voice on the other end of the phone was rough.

"What? You didn't mention this at the start!" Darcy got worked up and lowered her voice immediately after realizing where she was.

"Pfft, I'll see how you'll deal with it when news gets out if you're not going to pay," the man said arrogantly as he spat something out.

Darcy gritted her teeth. The man was adamant about getting money from her no matter what she said. He was probably waiting for this moment to happen.

"I'll give you the money. Make sure to stop it, alright?" Darcy swallowed and said each word as if she had made a huge decision.

Then, she hung up the phone and clenched her hands tightly around her phone as she glared at the door before her.

This time, she would not let that man take advantage of her, for he dared threaten her at such a time. She wouldn't let him off the hook.

"Darcy, Mr. Hofstead's looking for you." An employee was surprised to find Darcy there, but she tried her best to inform her calmly.

Darcy was stunned before slowly turning her head around, but she relaxed when she didn't notice anything weird about that employee's expression.

She was afraid the employee might've overheard anything and reported her to Kendrick since the competition was tight in the company. Everyone wanted to climb up the corporate ladder, after all.

"Okay, I'll be off now." Darcy nodded and walked past that employee. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

That employee finally let out a sigh of relief after Darcy left.

She had overheard Darcy's conversation on the phone. Even though she couldn't hear what the other party said, she still heard Darcy's words.

Something about spending money and not letting him go. Darcy must be up to something bad. Should I tell Mr. Hofstead? The employee was conflicted; she didn't expect Darcy, who was known to be fair, to act like this in private. However, if she told Kendrick, her job would be at risk if Darcy found out about it. As such, she couldn't tell anyone about this
