Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

After my meeting with Korbin, Kendal insisted on driving me back to the law firm . He kept pestering me until I gave in.When we arrived at the gate of the law firm, he didn’t drive off when I got out.

Instead, he got off his car and insisted on saying hello to Anya before leaving. My brows furrowed in confusion as I stared at him.

Anya didn’t even know who he was, so why would he need to greet her? While I was still pondering the odd statement, Kendal had already walked into the building.I hurried after him and found him in Anya’s office introducing himself.

"It’s nice to meet you, Miss Pierce.My name is Kendal; Helen and I, well, we’re family.I wanna thank you in person for helping her in her career."

It was rare to see a trace of surprise on Anya’s serious and expressionless face.I touched my forehead helplessly and wondered when he became my family.

Why wasn’t I informed? 

a second later, Anya’s face became expressionless again and she greeted Kendal politely before motioning for him to sit down.

Phil also surveyed Kendal in surprise.

Kendal sat down without ceremony.

Although he still had that signature playful smirk with him, his manners and dressing revealed his extraordinary background.

He kept saying grateful words to Anya for me as if he was very close to me.

I was afraid that Anya and Phil would misunderstand, so I explained hurriedly, "Don’t listen to him.He was my friend from high school.It was him who helped me secure the cooperation with Spacetime Finance."

"Helen, don’t say that.Are we really just high school friends?"Kendal said ambiguously.

As expected, Anya and Phil got the wrong idea, with understanding.

"Don’t talk nonsense!" I warned Kendal in a low voice.

"I heard of your law firm a long time ago.Can you show me around?" Kendal asked sheepishly, blatantly ignoring me.
