Kendall's Sacrifice

From the bodyguards to the assistant like Toddy, no one could sway any of the people around Dylan because of their loyalty for the man.

"The young mistress has never done anything like that, and I don't intentionally say good things about her either. She is sincere to you, young master. I show her my respect as long as she makes you happy."

Dylan was undoubtedly satisfied to hear the answer.

"Bring someone with you to clear a room for Kendall to use as the jewelry room. Also, buy a few more vases. The young mistress likes flower arranging."

"Understood."

Dylan continued to instruct, "Tell Tia to arrange for two employees to come here from the warehouse. They will be tasked with helping Kendall manage her jewelry."

Tia was the housekeeper at the main house. Among the housekeepers in the Coleman Residence, she had the highest status.

"Alright. I will personally drop by to inform Tia."

Dylan stood up after he was done instructing. Seeing this, Amos stepped forward to help him, only for his offer to be rejected.

Dylan then slowly walked to the wheelchair and sat down himself.

Ronnie who happened to walk in right then immediately helped him out of the room.

…

Coleman Empire Holdings.

"Mr. Heller."

"Mr. Heller."

Toddy was greeted by the employees who saw him as he walked, and he, too, gave them a smile in return.

"Miss Finley."

As soon as he walked into the office building, he heard someone calling out to Emma from behind him.

Not only did he not turn around to look, Toddy subconsciously started walking faster so that he didn't have to walk with Emma into the elevator.

"It is such a pretty bouquet, Miss Finley. Who is the sender?"

The moment Toddy heard the question someone threw at Emma, he immediately wondered, Someone got Miss Finley a bouquet?

He finally turned around to look when he could no longer hold himself back.

Emma indeed was holding a big bouquet of roses. From the size of it, there were probably 99 flowers in total. It was just as dazzling and eye- catching as the bouquet Dylan gave to Kendall yesterday.

What a generous guy! Toddy quietly huffed to himself.

Ninety-nine roses all at once?

I wonder who gave it to her.

As curious as he was, he couldn't possibly ask Emma about it.

Everyone in the company, the higher-ups included, knew that Emma had a one-sided crush on Toddy.

He was the one who had never accepted her feelings.

If he were to go to her and ask about it, he was sure that people would think he was jealous.

Jealous?!

Toddy inwardly scoffed again. That word doesn't exist in my world!

Emma's voice was sweet and cheerful when she answered other people's questions. It was obvious that she was currently in a good mood.

She said, "I don't know who sent it. I had just arrived at the company entrance when I was stopped by the florist who had been waiting there for a long time. She gave me this bouquet, and told me that someone ordered it at her shop and asked her to send it to me."

The person who asked the question teased, "It must be by someone who fancies you, Miss Finley. It is your season of love. You have to hold on to it tightly."

The person even peeked a few times at Toddy, who was in front.

He was still taking long strides a second ago, but he gradually slowed down as his ears perked up at Emma's reply.

"I don't even know who the flowers are from. How am I supposed to hold on to anything?" Emma smiled.

"That person will appear when the time is right."

The person then added enviously, "You are such a brilliant person. I am sure the man who likes you would be as wonderful as you are. We will be waiting for good news from you, Miss Finley."

"I will buy everyone a meal when that day comes!" Emma generously suggested.

Toddy's face was now sullen as he stalked to the elevator. As the door of the elevator for executives opened, he quickly walked in.

"Oh! Please wait."

Emma hurriedly called out while she jogged over with the big bouquet in her arms.

Her office was on the top floor. Among the many elevators, only the elevator for the top management could go directly to the top floor. Hence, she had to ride on the same elevator as Toddy.

Initially, Toddy wasn't going to bother with her, but another high-level executive kept pressing the button to keep the door open. He only let go and let the door automatically close after she jogged into the elevator.

"Thank you!" Emma smilingly thanked the executive.

The corners of the executive's lips were also lifted as he asked, "Miss Finley, who is the bouquet from? It is beautiful." He was watching Toddy from the corners of his eyes.

However, the executive couldn't help being confused when he didn't catch any particular emotion on Toddy's face.

He considered the possibility of Toddy not having any romantic feelings for Emma. Or else, Toddy would have accepted her a long time ago, considering how long Emma had been pursuing Toddy.

Even our stone-faced president has a wife now. I wonder if anyone can melt Mr. Heller's frozen heart.

Emma was standing right beside Toddy, but she hadn't spared him a glance throughout the whole exchange. She only replied with a beam, "I don't know who it is from either. It is beautiful, isn't it? It makes me happy to receive such a big bouquet of flowers first thing in the morning."

Toddy's eyes immediately turned cold at that. Just you wait, he huffed. I will drag you all the way from cloud nine to hell in a while!
