Chapter 113 Are there too many peach blossoms?
Last Updated:
2024-12-29 18:02:02Annabelle turned down the corridor and arrived outside meeting room number 12, coming to a halt.
She couldn't go in to deliver the recipe, so she was willing to make a trip, just to move around as she had been sitting in the office for too long and wanted to stretch her legs.
Coincidentally, I was also curious about what Kendrick was like at work.
After all, Kendrick was a scoundrel and a beast in private. It's hard to imagine how he could appear so serious and dignified during meetings. I really want to see how he managed to make so many people think he was aloof, reserved, and gentlemanly.
This meeting room had floor-to-ceiling glass walls, allowing a view of the inside.
Through the glass wall, Annabelle saw Kendrick, dressed in a suit, had already finished signing with the partner and stood up to shake hands and take a photo with the representative.
His eyes were deep and profound like the blue sea, and when he smiled, the corners of his

Annabelle instantly got goosebumps, pursed her lips, and really didn't dare to retort him anymore.At this moment, the foreigner had also arrived outside the conference room. Kendrick introduced in French, "This is my wife, Annabelle."Then he switched to Mandarin and said to Annabelle, "Annabelle, this is Mr. Leroy Aguirre, the CEO of LS Company."Leroy obviously wanted to greet Annabelle by touching cheeks with their customary manner, but upon seeing Kendrick possessively hooking his wife's waist, as if forbidding anyone from getting close to her, Leroy had no choice but to conform to local customs and extend their hand.Annabelle extended her hand generously.Leroy greeted Annabelle in French and complimented her as a beautiful Oriental woman.Annabelle smiled lightly and responded to him in fluent French.After a formal handshake, upon realizing that Annabelle could speak French, the other person smiled and said, "Ms. Sanchez, you

Kendrick called the HR director and Zoie to the president's office.Annabelle sat on the side of the sofa, flipping through a magazine absentmindedly. Although she didn't care in her heart, she couldn't help but listen to Kendrick's conversation on the other side. Her head quietly peeked out from the magazine, watching over there.Kendrick sat behind the large desk with a dark expression on his face, his icy eyes emitting a chilling glare that sent shivers down one's spine."Director Li, is this the employee you promoted out of turn?"Kendrick threw the recipe he had just now on the table.The human resources director was a middle-aged man with a bald head, his hands trembling like a sieve.As for Zoie, she seemed to be pretending to be calm, but her face had already turned pale.Annabelle couldn't help but tut in her mind. She didn't expect this old fox to be like the King of Hell in the company. Her curiosity grew stronger, so she c

The words of the HR director interrupted her thoughts, and he scolded the female secretary sternly, "You, a mere secretary, dare to think you can surpass the president's wife? Only the president's wife understands French. Otherwise, it would be a big joke if this document was given to the foreign party, causing significant losses. Don't say anything else, go and handle your resignation!"Annabelle sneered at this reprimand.The HR director kept referring to the CEO's wife as "Madam President" and also took the opportunity to praise her French skills. It seems like they are someone who knows how to flatter others, but in the workplace, everyone understands the art of communication.Someone like her, who couldn't speak nicely, would probably have been excluded early on.Zoie suddenly burst into tears and said, "Mr. Gregory, I truly know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."Without even lifting an eyelid, Kendrick coldly said, "Get out."

Just as his scorching palm was about to become even more audacious, Annabelle still bit his lip, although not as forcefully as before.Kendrick slightly stepped back and whispered, "What's wrong?""I couldn't breathe."Annabelle glared at him angrily. Due to her lack of experience, she didn't know how to breathe while kissing, and her little face had turned as red as a tomato, with even her eye circles becoming red.Kendrick chuckled softly, his finger gently caressing her lips that had been kissed, making them appear even redder and more tender."After that, I practiced with you more."What are you practicing? Are you practicing how to breathe when he kissed you?Annabelle blushed and silently cursed Kendrick as a pervert. In order to divert attention, she quickly changed the subject."By the way, that decorative fish tank, did you make it?"She flashed away from Kendrick's embrace and came to the front of the landscape tank.When s

No matter what, he had eaten rice for several more years than Annabelle, so how could he not see through Annabelle's little thoughts?He was very certain that when Annabelle heard that another girl regularly came to take care of his aquarium, her heart must have felt a little sour, so she indirectly suggested the idea of bursting the tank.He just didn't expect that his own little rabbit was also a little scheming and talented little schemer.Annabelle turned her head and glanced at him, saying lightly, "That's not what I meant."With a swift movement, she flashed out of the old fox's arms.Kendrick smiled and said, "Well, since you know how to take care of the grass tank, why don't you help me in the future?""Not interested."She did indeed enjoy creating terrariums, which was influenced by Melvin and she also learned it herself.But the greatest joy of this matter was to personally take care of each water plant, to personall

When Annabelle approached, he still had a gloomy expression and sat in the car with a cold face. After Annabelle got in the car, he remained silent.Annabelle glanced at Jaime through the rearview mirror of the car. Jaime shook his head helplessly, knowing why the president was angry but not daring to say anything.Annabelle was open-minded and didn't speak up unless someone provoked her.Jaime started the car, but Annabelle's phone rang. It was a call from Gauge.She slid open the screen and answered, "What's wrong?""Your capo was put in my guitar case, did you leave? I will bring it to you."The car had already left the school gate at this time, and Annabelle said, "I have a spare one at home, give it to me next time we meet.""Okay. By the way, what I taught you today, practice it well.""Understood."Annabelle smiled and replied that she didn't expect Gauge, who seemed aloof, to be patient and talkative when teachin

He was very busy recently, and they had a cold war for a while. He couldn't even see his little wife, and he had been itching for a long time.Then, ten minutes later, as expected, Annabelle ran out of oxygen again...Kendrick realized that she was having difficulty breathing, so he reluctantly let go."Why haven't you learned how to breathe properly yet?"After finishing speaking with a smile, he kissed her again, this time much more gently.But at the same time, his large palm was no longer honest, as it caressed her slender waist...Annabelle trembled all over, staring wide-eyed at the audacious old fox up close. Unfortunately, her hands were still under his control, rendering her completely immobile. Her eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down her cheeks.Kendrick felt her tears and realized that he might have been a little too much.Although it was him who felt wronged in his heart, Kendrick couldn't help but feel a

Annabelle nodded with a smile, discreetly placed the card into the gift box, and put it in the drawer.As he watched her overflowing joy and the hidden emotion beneath that joy, Kendrick squinted his eyes slightly, but he didn't ask further."Have you eaten?" he changed the subject proactively. "If you haven't eaten, come downstairs and eat. I bought shrimp dumplings.""Thank you, I have already eaten.""Okay," Kendrick turned around to leave.Annabelle pursed her lips and called out to him, "Kendrick, I want to talk to you."Kendrick saw her serious expression and had a faint feeling that what she was about to say might not be what he wanted to hear.He took off his suit jacket and casually draped it over his arm, "I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow.""Alright, then tomorrow..."Kendrick came to the living room on the second floor, sat on the sofa in front of the French window, lit a cigarette, and took a dee

As soon as Annabelle heard Kendrick's voice, her tightened heart relaxed a little."Kendrick, are my eyes... blind?"This was the problem she was most worried about.Kendrick's eyes darkened, then he smiled faintly and said, "No, it was washed off in time, and it will fully recover after a period of rest."His voice was deep and gentle, as his large palm lightly caressed her shoulder, soothing her emotions.But Annabelle felt uneasy, she smelled alcohol at that time, and it was very pungent. She suspected that Lisa had splashed something on her face, most likely something like industrial alcohol.And that kind of thing contained formaldehyde, which could cause blindness."Are you comforting me?""Of course not, besides, how long can I deceive you with such a thing?"Annabelle thought for a moment and realized that if she had really gone blind, she would have known soon enough. Kendrick had no reason to lie about it.

Annabelle heard footsteps coming from the hallway, and she wanted to shout for help.Lisa immediately covered her mouth and said sinisterly, "I had already placed the maintenance sign, no one will come to save you."Annabelle's heart sank, and at the same time, she felt a deep regret. Why didn't she let Kendrick come when he offered to accompany her just now?Could Kendrick detect that she was in danger in time?She couldn't see anything because her eyes were too painful, and she had almost no resistance. She only vaguely felt herself being dragged into a restroom cubicle by Lisa."I will ruin your face right now and see if you can still seduce men."Lisa gritted her teeth and finished speaking, then took out a dagger and stabbed Annabelle in the face.Annabelle immediately went to block with her hand, "You ruined me, Kendrick won't let you get away with this!""Hahaha... Since I dared to do this, I was no longer afraid of anyt

Annabelle thought Kendrick was in the same mood as her, so she handed him her phone.Kendrick flipped through and said lightly, "I don't like houses that others have lived in. Let's not consider Violet Villa anymore. Let's find another neighborhood.""No one has ever lived in it; it has been empty since it was bought.""Did you believe it just because someone said they haven't lived here before?"Annabelle pouted and couldn't continue the conversation."Do you really want to move next to Gauge's house?" Kendrick couldn't help but ask.Annabelle thought to herself, "Why does Kendrick always ask like this?""I simply liked the environment of that neighborhood.""Perhaps you liked other places as well.""Are you really not going to buy?" Annabelle frowned in frustration.Kendrick took a deep breath and looked at her in front of him. At that moment, he realized how deeply this little woman had been moved.If he

Annabelle understood the reason, but she had thin skin and couldn't bear his constant teasing."Are you really going or not?" Annabelle asked, her face turning red.Kendrick sighed helplessly and didn't tease her anymore. Afterward, the two of them went out together.Because Annabelle loved to eat fish, Kendrick took her to the best traditional restaurant in Elfhedge, the Coastal View Restaurant, where the fish fillet was very famous.Annabelle remembered that Kamila had said that Coastal View Restaurant was expensive and always fully booked. She said that if you wanted to eat there, you had to make a reservation three months in advance. She also mentioned how delicious the fish fillet was, and as she spoke, Kamila's mouth watered, imagining the day when she could indulge in a meal at Coastal View Restaurant."How long did you wait to book a seat?" Annabelle asked."I made a phone call and made a reservation.""Isn't it supposed to ta

"Hey Kendrick!"Annabelle stood up and was about to snatch her paper back, but Kendrick immediately pressed his hand on top of her head."Wait a moment, let me check."Annabelle immediately shook her head, freeing herself from his grasp.Then Kendrick took the pen from her hand, looked at the bitten pen barrel, and frowned as he rubbed it on his own clothes. "What's wrong with this, it's like being in elementary school, aren't you afraid of bacteria?"Annabelle, who was being looked down upon, felt extremely embarrassed and slightly annoyed. "What we are learning now is different from what you learned ten years ago. You probably won't understand."Kendrick glanced at her, feeling upset after being criticized, and then attacked her age."Do you think I have gotten old?"Annabelle gave a faint smile and said, "I dare not."Kendrick clicked his tongue, clearly expressing his disdain."Do you know that older men are t

Annabelle was slightly taken aback and thought that Gauge was probably just joking, so she smiled and said, "Of course, it would be great to be neighbors with you."But she was not a person who was enthusiastic about socializing, so the real reason she liked the neighborhood was because of the natural wetland ecological area where the neighborhood was located.But it's no use saying anything now, the house has already been sold, we can't just snatch it back from someone else's hands."Don't worry, I will help you find a solution.""Hmm? What method do you have?"Gauge smiled faintly and said, "Although all the houses have been sold, the occupancy rate in the community is not high. Perhaps someone wants to sell. I will ask for you and give you a reply tonight."Annabelle nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay," also thanking him for his help.Gauge looked at her dim eyes, which brightened up a little bit. His mood instantly turned better, a

The butler was taken aback. It turned out that Sir Murphy had been so enthusiastic towards Mrs. Gregory earlier because he wanted to invite her to be a spokesperson."It's probably not very appropriate. She is the young lady of the Gregory family, how could she easily show up, especially as the brand ambassador for the Murphy Group."Simon nodded silently, "But I feel like only she is suitable."After leaving the Murphy's residence, Annabelle was in a good mood.Kendrick didn't bother her, and he also didn't expect Gauge's father to be so kind and enthusiastic.Especially when leaving, she even said that she could come and visit often in the future, making her feel like she suddenly gained an additional biological family.She opened the car window, letting a gentle breeze from outside blow in. She also thought about what Kendrick had said earlier, that he would be moving over here next week. This made her feel even more excited.But t
I wish it were you Chapter 238 Just Couldn't Help but Want to Treat Her Well
Kendrick voluntarily put an end to the annoying "paper revision" topic that had been bothering him, and then expressed gratitude to Gauge for his previous help, before deciding to leave.However, before he could even get up, Simon asked Annabelle several questions.Kendrick couldn't leave immediately, so he calmly listened to how his wife would respond.As Annabelle answered, she pondered how Gauge's father suddenly became interested in her affairs.Just because she was his son's friend?Her fingers were almost numb from Kendrick's pinching.This guy was jealous. He saw Gauge's father caring for her as if he cared for his future daughter-in-law. When they went out for a while, would Kendrick take matters into his own hands and punish her on the spot?So Simon asked enthusiastically, and Annabelle answered nervously.In my free time, I would read books and practice playing the piano.I didn't dislike traveling, but I pref
I wish it were you Chapter 237 Too Enthusiastic
Kendrick came to the Murphy's residence today to personally thank Gauge, as it was indeed thanks to Gauge that day.Secondly, it was also to let Simon know that Annabelle was his wife.Simon, being conservative and straightforward by nature, absolutely did not want his son to have too much intimate contact with Mrs. Gregory. Even if Gauge had any crooked intentions towards Annabelle in the future, as long as Simon was there to keep him in check, he would not dare to act recklessly.But why did he feel like Simon also liked Annabelle? Could it be that he was trying to help his son snatch her away?Thinking about this, Kendrick felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.However, he immediately dismissed this absurd speculation. Simon was definitely not a person without discretion. Sending an antique vase and inviting Annabelle as a guest was probably also a way to establish a closer relationship with the Gregory family.Annabelle was really surpri
