Charlotte looked at her daughter then.

Kendall proceeded to empty the bowl in a few big gulps.

"Daddy, I have finished the soup." She stood up to go wash the tiffin box. "I will avoid meeting him."

"Kendall, give me the tiffin box. I will have it washed at home. Why don't you get busy now?" Charlotte stopped Kendall from washing it.

Unable to win against her mother, Kendall could only hand over the tiffin box to Charlotte, and the former proceeded to go out to work.

Since Charlotte was the president's wife, it was fine for her to stay in the president's office.

As soon as Kendall walked out of the room, she saw Benjamin and Brian strutting over with a few bodyguards surrounding them.

She didn't have any recollection of Benjamin.

She hadn't even met Benjamin in her past life. All she knew of him were the rumors that he was the successor of the Zorn Family, and that he was capable at work despite him being a cunning person.

Kendall did attend Yasmine's birthday banquet, but a man of Benjamin's status wouldn't possibly personally welcome the Kendall from back then. Today was the first time she would be meeting Benjamin.

The Zorn siblings all looked alike. Yasmine was as beautiful as her brothers were handsome.

Compared to Brian, Benjamin exuded a much more domineering aura.

Naturally, Kendall stepped aside to let Jessie bring the brothers into the president's office.

It certainly did surprise her when Benjamin came to a stop right in front of Kendall.

Realizing this, she instinctively looked up at him. She saw the coldness in his gaze when their eyes met.

"Young Mistress Coleman."

A smile had appeared on his face despite his cruel eyes.

"Please call me Miss Parker, President Benjamin."

Kendall didn't like it when Benjamin addressed her as Young Mistress Coleman. It sounded off coming from him.

"Sure. Where are you heading, Miss Parker?"

"Nowhere in particular."

Her reply made Benjamin let out a small cough. He then smilingly asked again, "Could you lead us to President Parker, Miss Parker?"

Kendall only replied politely, "Miss Holmes is President Parker's secretary. Since she has brought you here, you will be able to enter the president's office as soon as she knocks on the door and informs President Parker."

Benjamin's smile stayed on his face, and he stopped beating around the bush. "I am actually here to meet you as well, Miss Parker. I hope you don't refuse me."

After exchanging knowing looks with Jessie, Kendall stopped rejecting, and instead turned around and knocked on the door. She pushed the door open after getting her father's approval. "President Parker, President Zorn and Mr. Brian Zorn are here."

"Let them in," Adam's voice rang out.

Hearing that, Kendall stepped aside and gestured to the brothers to head in.

Benjamin then signaled for his bodyguards to stay outside as he and his younger brother went into Adam's office.

"Mr. and Mrs. Parker." As if they were close, Benjamin immediately greeted them with a bright smile on his dashing face.

Adam also smiled as he took two steps forward and shook hands with Benjamin. "I wonder what made you come all the way here, President Benjamin."

"The wind blew me here," Benjamin answered, resulting in laughter from everyone in the room.

After Adam invited the brothers to take a seat, Charlotte poured a glass of water for each of them, and then quietly brought her daughter to sit next to her husband.

"I didn't know that Mrs. Parker was here, Mr. Parker. I hope I am not interrupting something with my sudden visit."

"You are our honored guest, President Benjamin."

Adam didn't exactly answer, but him only saying that Benjamin was a distinguished guest had let Benjamin know that their sudden visit did indeed disturb the couple.

After a few more exchanges of pleasantries, Benjamin finally announced, "Mr. Parker, I came here today to apologize to you. I didn't know that you and Mr. Gleeson had discussions about a collaboration. I tried hard to sign with him because their project had potential, but I ended up robbing you of your business. I am the reason for the misunderstanding that Zorn Holdings is an enemy of the Parker Corporation's. I sincerely apologize for that, Mr. Parker. Even though we haven't come in contact much in the past, Yasmine and Kelly are, after all, close friends. I have always treated Kelly like my own younger sister. For Yasmine and Kelly's friendship, I hope you forgive how eager I was in earning money and taking your business opportunity without finding out more about the business beforehand."

Benjamin was sincerely apologizing.

Hearing this, Adam already knew the reason the man suddenly dropped by.

Apologize?

He is only apologizing after he learned about Kendall and Master Dylan. I am sure he knows that the Zorn Holdings could never win against Coleman Empire Holdings now.

It wasn't like it had only been recently that the Parker Corporation and Liam had talks of a collaboration. As the president of Zorn Holdings, Benjamin had always been well-informed about everything. It was just that he had never intervened. He only started taking business from the Parker Corporation after Yasmine started trying to make trouble with Kendall, only for the former to end up being the one left infuriated.

It was obvious that he was intentionally going against the Parker Corporation as a means to avenge his sister.
