A moment of silence subsisted between them. Lendon waited for her answer while staring at her thoughtfully. Kendra didn’t expect that Lendon would notice her eyes. She cried too sadly on her way back here.
Kendra hesitated and didn’t know how to explain. She doesn’t want Lendon to know how painful she felt when her father’s last words before she left home after dinner reminded her that she’s now totally an outcast.
“What happened while you were at home?” Lendon’s voice came again. He knew something must happen. This woman was really so weak, he thought.
“Nothing.” Kendra looked away, trying to hide her frustration. She didn’t dare to look at Lendon’s questioning gaze.

In just a few minutes, she was dressed up and went down quickly. Lendon gave her a naughty smile when they climbed to the car. Kendra was forced to go out with him. They went to the CBD building. After they got off, Lendon told Kendra to follow him. She couldn’t understand why he had to bring her into this place.Many senior managers had been waiting for Lendon. Then, finally, he walked into a vast building, and his underlings were briefing him about a specific situation.“Mr. Martin, if we open it fully, we can make profits within six months. So this project will definitely be successful.”“Yes, Mr. Martin. We just need to make an advertisement by hiring popular actors or models. Then, we make sure everyone knows this place, and we can invest more.”
She walked silently, head dropped. During Kendra’s way back, she seemed distracted and almost hit a pillar.“Be careful, Miss Miller.” Curtis reminded her instantly. He wanted to ask her about the two women he saw earlier; however, he’s afraid she’d misunderstood him.“Oh, thank you.” Kendra finally came back to her senses. She gave him a gentle smile.“Miss Miller, are they your sister and stepmother? The people we just met?” Curtis summoned enough courage to ask her.“Yes.” Kendra smiled bitterly and nodded.“I shouldn’t have judged your family, but they went too far. Why do you…” Curtis paused for a while and sighed. He h
She was heartbroken at this moment to pay attention to anybody else. Kendra didn’t bother to raise her head. Why are people so mean to her? She hadn’t done anything wrong to others. She felt aggrieved and can’t help but sulk.The man walked to Kendra and also squatted. “Are you okay?” He asked worriedly.“Don’t come here.” Kendra covered her face and cried. She didn’t want anyone to see her being so weak. She always appeared tough despite suffering for a very long time. No one is with her for many years, even her own father despised her.“Don’t worry. I will help you.” The man’s gentle voice came again, and even without looking at him, Kendra knew it was Michael.
She wanted to ask Curtis why Lendon decided to bring her to the party; however, she chose not to speak her mind. Kendra sat in the car and waited for Lendon.“Mr. Martin.” A bodyguard greeted him and opened the car door.Lendon got on and sat down next to Kendra with his black suit. He even looked stunning, and Kendra couldn’t help but admire this man.“Why did you take so long?” Lendon frowned, staring at her elegant appearance.Kendra didn’t want any argument, lowered her head, and in a low voice, she uttered, “I am sorry. It was my fault. I didn’t saw Curtis’s call earlier,”Lendon stared at Kendra and said nothing. He was happy to see her like this.
The woman stood rooted on the ground and stared at him in horror. Lendon didn’t care about others at all. He grabbed Kendra’s arm and warned, “If you run away again, I won’t spare you.”Kendra felt embarrassed and looked at Joyce. She hated Lendon this time for humiliating her in front of others.Everyone saw what happened and discussed it faintly. And it even grew louder that made Kendra clenched her fists, her fingernails dug into her palms.Joyce also felt so angry when Lendon ignored her. She was never treated this way! She glared at Kendra and almost went mad. What special with this woman that caught Lendon’s attention?“Lendon, I don’t feel good. I will wait for you in the car. This lady seems to have something
He called her name several times, but still no answer from her. He lost patience. Lendon grabbed the door, trying to open it, but he found it was locked. So he had to keep on knocking and shouted, “Kendra, what are you doing? Come out!”No one responded. Lendon got impatient and frowned, shouting, “Kendra, open the fucking door!”What was Kendra doing? Lendon lost his temper and shouted again, “I will break into your room if you don’t open the door!” He threatened, but deep inside his heart, he was nervous.Still, no one answered him. Lendon stared at the door and suddenly had a terrible thought. Did Kendra commit suicide because she was desperate? It was possible, Kendra was a strong woman, but she could be weak sometimes. Thinking about Kendra lying on the ground wit
Curtis walked out of the kitchen and brought another food. “Sir, the chef prepared some new dishes today.” He gently said, trying to please him.“Wow, they look delicious!” Kendra said happily and wanted to have a try on it.However, Lendon stopped her and tasted first. “What the fuck? They taste like rubbish!” Lendon growled in anger and threw his fork away, “Ask the chef to come here!”Soon, everyone held their breath, and no one dared to say a word. The maidservants were shivering and stood rooted on the ground.Kendra didn’t know what was wrong, but she could feel Lendon’s anger.“Mr. Martin.” The chef stood next to Lendon and nervously said.
She fell into deep thoughts. What’s really going on? Kendra’s classmates discussed it loudly while Kendra looked at them vaguely.“What are you talking about?” Kendra finds her tongue after a few minutes, in deep thoughts.“Just tell us. We are friends. You can trust us.” A boy patted Kendra’s shoulder and enthusiastically encouraged her, “Don’t worry. We believe in you. Just tell us who was the one backing you up,”Kendra lost in thought again, can’t relate to what they’re talking about. She looked at them and asked, “Enlightened me, as I don’t understand what you guys mean?”“Stop pretending!” A girl gave her phone to Kendra to show her something, “Look, the head
