Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 231

"Good that you know it. Don't think of leaving me. Even if you run away to the ends of the earth, I can catch you."

"I'm not gonna leave you." Kendall snuggled up to him while hankering for the warmth of his embrace.

"Kendall, where is your jewelry? Why aren't you wearing any?"

Kendall felt around her neck before looking at her wrists. Then, she looked up and replied, "My husband never gives me jewelry as presents, so I can only go without it."

Dylan was rendered speechless. "What about the few gold jewelry sets?" He had made an excuse to give her a few jewelry sets as presents.

"I'm keeping them. Once they gain in value, I'll sell them to make a fortune."

Dylan didn't know whether he should compliment her for knowing how to make money or chiding her for abusing his kindness.

"I was joking. I don't like to wear those things, but I like to collect them."

"What else do you like besides eating?"

"Money."

Dylan couldn't help but chuckle. What a realistic little girl. She likes money, huh? Well, that's easy. I don't have much of anything, but what I do have the most is none other than money. I'll cover her bed with cash tonight so that she can sleep on piles of cash.

With that, the argument between the young couple ended almost as soon as it happened. Soon after that, they were lovey-dovey again.

Of course, Kendall was already late when she returned to her office. As she trotted out of the elevator in a hurry while carrying her handbag, she nearly bumped into Kelly by accident.

"You're late, Kendall!" Kelly looked frosty and expressionless. "According to the company's rules, you're not allowed to be more than three minutes late for work, but you're late for half an hour today! Your bonus for this month is deducted. If you're late for work again, you don't have to come to work anymore. Just go back and be a housewife!" she said. Then, she walked past Kendall without waiting for the latter's reply.

Kendall didn't argue with Kelly this time. After all, she was in the wrong since she was late for work today without asking for leave of absence. Just as she wanted to go back to Jessie's office, she suddenly heard Kelly whisper, "What brings you here, Miss Caddel?"

Miss Caddel? Is it Krystal? Kelly sounds like she's feeling guilty. Is she worried that Krystal has learned of her scandalous affair with Jackson and is here to settle the score with her? Kendall sneered inwardly. Those with a guilty conscience would feel guilty indeed. It's a no-brainer that there's no way Krystal would learn about their love affair so soon.

Krystal was rather polite to Kelly. "Miss Kelly, I'm here to talk to Kendall."

Kelly stopped her, though. "Oh, you wanna talk to her? Hold on a moment, please. This is the top floor, which isn't the right place to entertain you. Please wait here for a moment while I help you call her over. You two may have a nice chat in the VIP room on the first floor." I've got to criticize the two receptionists later. How could they let anyone come up here?

Kendall was only an assistant who didn't even have her own office in the company. Therefore, those who came for her shouldn't have been allowed to come upstairs; they were supposed to wait for her on the first floor instead. This floor was where the president worked and where the high-level meetings were held. Only VIPs were allowed here.

Krystal was displeased somewhat, but she put up with it nonetheless.

Kelly looked back and called Kendall. "Kendall, Miss Caddel is asking for you. Take her to the VIP room on the first floor," she said in a peremptory tone while ordering Kendall to take Krystal away.

Wanting to know why Krystal would come to her, Kendall didn't mind Kelly's attitude. She came over and said to Krystal, "Miss Caddel, what can I do for you?"

Krystal looked at Kendall with smugness and sympathy instead of jealousy. She was the only person who reacted differently after learning of Kendall's marriage to Dylan. "Should I call you Miss Kendall or Young Mistress Kendall?" she asked sarcastically while stressing the words "Young Mistress Kendall."

Kendall didn't mind it, actually. "Just call me whatever you want, Miss Caddel. It's just a form of address."

Krystal smiled. "I'd prefer to call you Miss Kendall. Could you give me half an hour of your time?"
